This and the John Mayer pentatonic equator concept video have really clicked in my brain. Thank you for putting together such an understandable lesson. Must take a ton of editing.
Best guitar channel. Hands down. There literally is not one other person doing stuff like this for intermediate to advanced players looking for that hard to find info.
This is the perfect place for people who have memorized scales and don't know what to do next. Nobody else explains it and puts in your eyes like this on the entire web. I'm so close to improvising fluency, and it's super exciting.
@@onefm1 Im a little behind you yet, but holy mole is it ever more fun the better you get, and things start clicking! Best of luck on your journey Juan!
@@MattSteeves Yes sir.. After open chords, I made a point to memorize the pentatonic and the roots. Stuff like this channel is taking me to were I wanna go. I only know like 2 songs lol, but I rather learn to improvise first.
Great tutorial, probably the best for beginners wanting to learn playing Blues. The soundtrack with the fingerboard displayed is the greatest teaching tool. The best Clapton tutorial on You Tube, Thanks
@@jfson4321 True That! I remember well the first 3 Cream records. Fresh, Disreli & Wheels...& the natural progression & the improvements across the board! Cut my teeth on those discs & learned a great deal about basic pentatonic riffs across the fretboard. At the same time I was doing the same thing with the respective Hendrix discs! In the grand scheme if things I learned a great deal about tone, timing & textures, adding 'color' to your notation, if you will. I had laid- out a solid foundation upon which I could build my playing & songwriting abilities! Thank you @jfson4321! Keeping my Ducks in a row! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
I absolutely agree Pow Music is the BEST guitar lesson channel on TH-cam. Period end of story. Amazing work Gary. A true educator. Fret Live is a game changer for me.
How do you only have 93k subscribers. One of the best guitar channels on youtube IMO. The software you use for the colored fingerings on the fretboard is one of the best in the space. I hope you get to 1 million subs soon, You deserve it.
Been watching and enjoying a handful of your vids over the last 6-8 weeks. Gary, you're a great teacher and the techniques you focus on are exactly what I need and are indeed priceless. Your live fret diagrams are among the best on the web. All online teachers should use these. I've learnt more from your vids than from my F2F teachers over the last few weeks. I will become a patreon shortly and enrol in your courses this weekend. A big thank you from the South Coast of NSW, down-under.
One of the best video guitar lessons, big respect for editing and visuals ,so much better for quicker understanding what key to play and how :) Wish every guitar video lesson is with this kind of visual aid.
This is SO good. I've watched that video so many times. I even learned the first lick by ear, but not all of them. Thanks so much, bro. You're taking teaching to another level (by the way I learned the whole Bohemian Rhapsody solo from your video, that alone was a milestone for me🙌)
Subscribing after watch part of first video. (Got up to get my guitar.) This is how online guitar instruction should be. Format is exactly right. Graphic of guitar neck really puts it over the top. Back to the video...
The guitar you used on this video is the real Strat. I bought one before I did not have a clue what I was doing still don't know what I'm doing but it sounded great .Strat all the way. Well or is your name will ha ha. Well one thing I did know that sound was a real strats sound .Actually your video inspierd me big time thank you....Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸
Every once in a while you come across a great video like this that gives you're playing and practice routine a real shot in the arm. Liked and Subscribed!
Gary, thanx a lot for that analysis. With departing it into different sections, I (mean to) understand the EC-phrase. Also I.m gonna motivated, to play (in the sense, children play) with the different elements, and that makes me happy! Thanx a lot, Henry 😉
Oh this is so good, so much information put together so well. It's firing off in my brain. First time here and hitting subscribe (and like of course). Thank you!
And I just gotta say… an instructor said when I first started learning licks… the sooner you develop that often times un-used pinky finger the better!!! I wish you had a small idea how much easier it is for me to learn from you… Ty!!!
Thanks for this! I’m learning the guitar. I’m having fun discovering how the notes and scales work. I used to play the marimba, vibraphone, chimes and bells in middle/high school band. It’s very similar in my brain to how those work. I also took music theory in high school. It’s a lot of familiar knowledge that I’m utilizing now
Please do one on Eddie Van Halen 🙌🏼 Love your channel! I’m a lifelong drummer mainly and am new to guitar the last couple years. Your channel has helped me so much since recently coming across it! Cheers!
Wow man - thank you so much for such a big compliment coming from such a renowned player and teacher like yourself!!! It's been great to see your success too! 🎸
I always remember seeing the documentary in late 80s aired as Cream A Visual Documentary and when moved up Portland Oregon the rock station aired a documentary Cream of the Crop 30 years with Eric Clapton and Friends This segment was featured and then I bought the Farewell Comcert VHS and then dvd years later Still have the cassettes (all four used to record that radio doc aired on KGON Thanksgiving night 1993 and the night after ( 3 hour broadcast each night). This is exactly where a d how I learned lick A minor pentatonic and just moving up and down the frets. I am really glad to see it has been transcribed and analyzed, in this format Well PING I'M A SUBSCRIBER NOW!!!!
Wow this is amazing I was just watching the original video the other day and was trying to figure it out on my own. TH-cam must’ve been listening to my bad playing and suggested this 😂 thanks for sharing
Excellent. I’ve watched many many Lessons on line and this is next level, so clear and really inspiring. Learn one great lick and twist it into a multitude of new lines! Fab.
For years I’ve watched that interview trying to replicate those licks and now FINALLY I’ve got them down cause of the slowed down version
As a 77 years old learning guitar 🎸 this a great lesson.
Eric's 77 too, and he's still learning; adding to his vocabulary.
@J handle your never to old to learn. I play in a blues band now, own 6 guitars 🎸 my latest a 1969 les Paul standard. Happy New Year
good for you ! I'm 63 and thought that I was getting a late start ... never to late to start learning !
69 and agree totally!! 😉
I’m 61 been playing on/off since I was 10…. Still learning lol
This and the John Mayer pentatonic equator concept video have really clicked in my brain. Thank you for putting together such an understandable lesson. Must take a ton of editing.
heavy stuff from the most self loved duo
Just watching that getting off work
The John Mayer
This is the format I love
Well taught!
Yeah….John Mayer and Ed Sheehan are my hero’s too…
Best guitar channel. Hands down. There literally is not one other person doing stuff like this for intermediate to advanced players looking for that hard to find info.
thank you!
Could not agree more!

Started with copying Clapton Riffs back on the Disreli Gears days. Wish I had this resource. Would have saved on record needles and turntables.

thank you so much!!!
You are welcome.
I've recently been given these phrases by my guitar teacher and I couldn't for the life of me get them to sound "bluesy". This video is perfect.
This demystifies what Clapton does at higher speed than what a beginning guitarist like me can follow. So good!
One of my favorite parts about the blues in that ability to blend major and minor scales and chord tones. Going to grab my guitar...

I agree!
This is easily one was of the greatest guitar lessons available. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for all the additional resources.
One of the best guitar lessons ever. Not much else to say other than a true thank you, for such a masterpiece of a lesson 🎸
I spent a good chunk of time playing this today, it’s exactly what I needed after playing for about 2 years.
I am also at about 2 years now, and this is where I've found myself too. Cheers! 😁🎉
I am part of the 2 year club too!
This is a fantastic lesson by one of the best teachers on TH-cam. I hope this video gets a million views because this is great stuff.
Hands down best intermediate guitar channel!
That G&L is a beauty!
You are providing a HUGE service to us mortals! Thank you.
Discovered this on my own years ago and it completely changed my playing. It was as if I’d unlocked a door

Wish every guitar video lesson is with this kind of visual aid.
Great job breaking down the basics and putting Clapton's stock riffs in perfect visual form. This is where today's best start.
This is amazing. I honestly searched to see if someone had a breakdown/lesson of this like a year ago. Thank you 🙏
Primary “breakdown” tool: Ears, a start, stop, rewind function, one note at a time, a free afternoon. There …
Ah man this channel is priceless
🙏🎸
Best thing I’ve seen in a min for guitar! More of this!
Thankyou! Searched for this and found it here. Very good work! Over 50 years are gone and now we can retrace this 😊
Holy Cow!!! He’s actually using his pinkie finger as well which I don’t think he does at all anymore and hasn’t for years! 🤷♂️
bro just dicovered your videos and they have helped me out so much in the past 2 days just playing with scales!!!!
Finally I understand! Thank you!
This is SO good. I've watched that video so many times. I even learned the first lick by ear, but not all of them. Thanks so much, bro. You're taking teaching to another level (by the way I learned the whole Bohemian Rhapsody solo from your video, that alone was a milestone for me🙌)

I like the delivery of info here, tabs are great lighting up to see what you are doing, thanks.
One of the best lessons I’ve ever come across, thank you!
My best teacher....ciao dall' Italia,,😉🎸
Thank God I had good ears and learned this stuff by listening then repeating. I could never have been bothered to read it from a tab.
The guitar you used on this video is the real Strat. I bought one before I did not have a clue what I was doing still don't know what I'm doing but it sounded great .Strat all the way.

That guitar tone is sick!
I love that visual tab with color. Awesome way to hear and see a lick
Gary, thanx a lot for that analysis. With departing it into different sections, I (mean to) understand the EC-phrase. Also I.m gonna motivated, to play (in the sense, children play) with the different elements, and that makes me happy! Thanx a lot, Henry 😉
your videos are the best man. So blessed. Learned a lot of great stuff from your this past year
Learning the complete first Crossroads solo is a must for every aspiring lead guitarist.
Next would be learning the solo to Cannonball Shuffle, Robben Ford. Two musts if you want to play the blues.
Great job with the animated tab, super helpful. Cheers!
As someone who's watched waaaay too many "how to solo" vids, the concept of how to get better is really put perfectly here. Thanks!
awesome! thank you
Gold, this is pure gold
Beautiful in its clarity! Thank you!
This animated tab is so useful
Your channel is absolutely useful for me.
The 'improvisational' skills of Clapton distilled into 13 minutes, which is a generous allocation to cover both his riffs
🤣
Oh come on, Clive. Don't be jelly ;-)
The first one I go in it's entirety. Many Thks, any more that can be superbly explained would be gold.
This is gold! Thank you, Gary
Hello Gary, great riff so much fun to learn and play, love the way you teach so clear and concise, it just sticks with you,
Thank you for breaking it down. It helps.
That’s was a kickass lesson!! Do more of these. Thank you thank you thank you.
Super video Gary. Thanks for putting it together.
Just a great lesson !! Thanks much.
PEACE from Philadelphia
Really great video. Learned tons. Can't wait to apply it tonight!!!

Hi,Gary.you are so good lookinng👍🎸.im a beginner player, and im now one of urs online student.Thanks for this helpful video.

Amazing idea and amazing lessons, thank you. I hope you can make more Eric Clapton lessons in future.
Wonderful. Thank you. The tabs help so much
And I just gotta say… an instructor said when I first started learning licks… the sooner you develop that often times un-used pinky finger the better!!! I wish you had a small idea how much easier it is for me to learn from you… Ty!!!
This is gold!
Thank you for doing this.
Great job putting this together, thank you!

Sweet tutorial! A literal classic!
this is what youtube should be about, years ago we'd have had to pause a vhs bit by bit and try to work it out
Please do one on Eddie Van Halen 🙌🏼

Superb vid
A Blues eye opener and excellent breakdown of Erics phrasing.. Ive just found your channel and am so glad I did. Thanks for the awesome breakdown.
Excellent. I’ve watched many many Lessons on line and this is next level, so clear and really inspiring. Learn one great lick and twist it into a multitude of new lines! Fab.
