ERIC CLAPTON

In this next example we take some core Albert style ideas and transport them into the world of Eric Clapton. EC has a fiery string bending and finger vibrato style due in no small part to the influence of players like Albert and Freddie King. The ‘woman’ tone is achieved by selecting the neck pickup and rolling the tone control down. The turnaround in bars 13 and 14 is pure Clapton, but you will clearly hear the Albert King influence.
