LAYLA quick guitar lesson (playing slowly) - chords and strumming, how to play Clapton's Layla

#GuitarLessons #BeginnerGuitar #LearnGuitar #GuitarChords #EasyGuitar Layla ia one of my favorite songs. Also that's the first song that I performed live on Bosnian national tv. Here I play it slowly, with hope that you will catch chords and strumming.
Few songs in rock history hit as hard as Layla. Written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon for Derek and the Dominos, this 1970 masterpiece is part fiery blues-rock, part heartbreaking ballad. Inspired by Clapton’s unrequited love for Pattie Boyd (then George Harrison’s wife), Layla delivers one of the most iconic guitar riffs ever, packed with passion, pain, and pure rock energy. The song’s structure is unique-starting with a high-energy riff-fueled section before melting into a beautiful, piano-driven outro. Whether you're here to master the legendary riff, dive into Clapton’s lead work, or just soak up the emotion, grab your guitar and let’s break down this rock ‘n’ roll classic!
