  1. [..YouTube..] this is the most destructive lesson an aspiring guitarist could see - learning a song note by note or even tab i try to look at with a macroscopic eye.
    understand the progression of the song, the key he’s playing in, and understand the movement (i prefer to think of the first chord as the reference, then moves up or down, up/down, building suspension, and then releases and returns to the first chord

  2. [..YouTube..] learn the scale, then to play it across the fret board until you can solo. then pick a few chords you like, and solo around them.

Wie das geht? - Ganz einfach, hab mich bei Carbonpoker com mit dem “Coupon Code” FLOP600 registriert und gleich mit den geschenkten $600 losgepokert!

  22. [..YouTube..] Hmm this tutorial s wrong, I hate it when people teach things wrong, he’s missing out an A chord (with a G note after) after the Bb and then again after C. Hes playing Bb chord to G note then C chord to A note which is incorrect, all it takes is a little bit of actual listening, he’s just playing what he thinks it sounds like than what it actually does, alot of people do that and its annoying, especiallt if you’re teaching.

  23. [..YouTube..] please sir cucambers, make a video and show us the proper way to do it then.

    Posted by huipies | January 24, 2008, 8:12 am

  24. [..YouTube..] I just told you the proper way, I could make a video if enough people wanted, but can’t you just work it out by ear, it’s nothing too complicated.

  31. [..YouTube..] if you watch the video of clapton doing it live, the camera zzoms in on his guitar during the intro so you can see what he does

    Posted by minneder | February 18, 2008, 8:58 am

  35. [..YouTube..] yes- and every time you see the intro is two gtrs. Clapton plays the single note intro and gtr 2(Fairweather Low) plays the descending chords. We all play both parts because unless you are playing with a second guitarist it’s obviosly incomplete!

    Posted by MusicMotivator | February 21, 2008, 1:50 am

  36. [..YouTube..] It’s both guitars at the same time on the single note riffs and then its just Fairweather on the chords, Dumbass.
