EXAMPLE3 Eric – solo at 3’.06”

EGDoing off at a slightly different tangent, Eric develops this shape71 Pentatonic pAattern until the slide in bar 4, which leads to a series of Albert King-style bends before switching tack to a melodic idea, leading to a variation on the classic descending blues turnaround. Techniques to brush up on here would be pitching on string bends, vibrato and syncopation and timing - something that Eric used with John Mayall and developed to the ‘nth’ degree in Cream.
