Eric Clapton Blues Rhythm Guitar Lesson - Part 2: Advanced

In this lesson, we’ll continue looking at how Eric Clapton approaches playing blues rhythm guitar.  This lesson is really a continuation of the previous Eric Clapton Rhythm Guitar Lesson, however this lesson is a little more advanced and has a lot of extra licks that spice it up.  Neither of these Clapton lessons are direct copies of a particular song, but instead are a hybrid of common guitar phrases that he uses when playing rhythm.  I had several requests for more Clapton rhythm stuff so hopefully this contains enough EC blues rhythm phrasing to satisfy.  As always if you have any questions feel free to post here or in the forum and I’ll respond.

This is really great stuff…. I was wondering if you could maybe post a lesson in the style of the late great Stevie Ray, if at all possible.

Keep up the good work, and rock on.

Brian….thank you very much for the lessons they are great. After trying to learn scales and modes and stuff I didn’t understand this is really good. Now with some practice I’ll be able to play songs right away. I appreciate it.

Late to the party, but this is great stuff. In other news, Joe Lem’s comment above is awesome. I love the smell of reverent condescension…
