How to Play Eric Clapton's "Layla" Unplugged Guitar Solo
Enjoy each lesson with bonus resources at Patreon.com/Swiftlessons
Hello friends,
Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. When it comes to master soloist, few guitarist have crafted more memorable and inspiring solos than the great Eric Clapton. His ability to combine styles, and employ ear-catching melodies on the fly were on full display the night he first performed his acoustic version of Layla on MTV's unplugged. In this session, we'll explore "Slow Hands" go-to scale patterns, before breaking down his complete solo lick by lick. Let's get started! -Rob

Rob, along with your obvious musical talents - voice as well, you are an extremely good teacher. I appreciate you mentioning and demonstrating the applicable scales and, importantly, the underlying chord progression. Thank you

Rob I played guitar many years with many bands but I played always with great guitar players so I never was good because they made the hard work. I dont have talent for music but I worked a lot to learn. I left to play several years ago since I discovered you. And I come back and you are a fantastic teacher and I learn everyday thanks to you. All my best wishes from Barcelona. Sorry for my english.

@stanlemke3569 5 месяцев назад

I really appreciate how you teach where and how the chords and different scales fit together as it helps me to create variations that still sound good.

@cerci1572 5 месяцев назад

You solved all those confusions I had for scales since practicing my first blues lick, and I got even more inspired by your detailed explanation. You're an extremely good teacher, thank you so much❤

Thanks Michael, that’s my Furch Red LC, they are great guitars make over in the Czech Republic.

@theaustincorbin 5 месяцев назад

Love it, Rob! Your lessons are always the best. I'd appreciate it if you did a lesson on Clapton's take on Layla that he did for the Lady in the Balcony sessions. It's got some great solos in its own right, and I've been dying to learn it. I don't think there's really anyone teaching it on YT

@sniffableandirresistble 5 месяцев назад

Neil Young said playing with Eric was like playing with Stephen Stills in that whatever they went for when soloing, they got. I really love the way he put that because there is this danger inherent in soloing, especially live, that it completely falls apart, is boring and unimpressive or maybe worst of sounds rehearsed. ❤

@swiftlessons 5 месяцев назад

Neil was spot on there. Both Clapton and Stills are players who have a very clear understanding of their musical identities, their sound, and their capabilities, so they almost always nail it. I'm glad you mentioned the inherent dangers of taking a solo, because even Clapton hits a few dead notes in his unplugged performance, but the solo still manages to be timeless and unforgettable. Watching the different takes of this tune, he plays something vastly different each time, so it really was an improvised solo, with only a few themes he seemed intent on featuring. Thanks so much for your comment, have a great night of progress! -Rob

@@swiftlessonsyou have always been one of the top sounding teachers on this platform, sure it might be the hardware a little, but your sound is right up my alley. There is something about your acoustic tone & Justin Guitars Froggy Bottom that I just love. Your plugged in tone is awesome...and so are you :)

@christopherodonnell2375 5 месяцев назад

How does one remember all that? Wow

@swiftlessons 5 месяцев назад

The process is called chunking. I begin by absorbing the entire solo, just listening to it over and over. Next, I break it up into small sections, and transcribe them on guitar pro. Once I have a chunk of the solo figured out, I’ll practice it slowly and gradually work it up to speed. Once I’ve applied this process to the full solo, I’ll work toward tying each chunk together until I can play through its entirety. The last step is to consider dynamics and work small details and embellishments into my muscle memory. I hope that’s helpful. -Rob 🤘

@christopherodonnell2375 5 месяцев назад

That’s the game plan, you always need to get it into your ear first, from there it’s so much easier. Enjoy your progress! -Rob

@Someone-lc6dc 5 месяцев назад

Question... those double stops... where do they come from? Are they parts of chords he's playing?

@swiftlessons 5 месяцев назад

Great question. He starts his solo using a pair of notes that are both part of the dm chord and also found in the Dm pentatonic scale. Generally, double stops are created by pairing scale tones together. Enjoy your practice! -Rob

@Someone-lc6dc 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, Rob. Not many youtubers reply to questions, so kudos to you. On a different note, could you do a lesson on how changing the tuning (say, 1 step down on each string) changes the chords we're playing with "standard" shapes? It's hard to wrap my head around it...

Great video. Eric Clapton is a totally overrated guitar player.

@swiftlessons 5 месяцев назад

Thanks James. At times I have felt the same way about Clapton, but so many times I’ve been surprised to learn that he’s behind yet another iconic guitar track; “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and basically the entire All Things Must Pass record for example. He might be overrated, maybe all the so called guitar gods of the 70s are, but I can say three things for sure: he’s damn good, has contributed a lot to the guitar conversation, and has a distinctive sound. Thanks for watching and commenting! -Rob
