Solo
• We will just do the first part.
• Here EC plays Blue Moon as a start.
• I have included the whole solo but we don’t have time to do the whole thing as that would take about 3 to 4 full nights.
• You might want to pick parts of it out though.

Solo – Starts with the song Blue Moon in the first 3 measures. While not as common in Rock as in Jazz this is a technique used by many to start a solo or quote. Listener immediately relates to this. I play it in a lower position and wrote it out in that position as Clapton most likely plays the very first part in 12th position but for many in class this is beyond where their guitar can comfortably be played.

The solo can be Clapton’s or Yours
• I included the Clapton solo but you may want to do your own solo.
• If you do your own solo (suggested), then start with the first part of Clapton’s.
• He quotes Blue Moon in the opening statement. • This is very common to quote another song in
the solo. Jazz particularly does that.• Lastly, use the book to put the form together.

Pentatonic ScalesReview
5 basic forms for these.By: F. Markovich
These are the scales that EC mainly used in the early years.
![Page 22: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is a Pentatonic Scale?
• Penta means five. A pentatonic scale is a 5 note scale as it’s simplest definition.
• Unlike 7 tone scales which are called diatonic scales (step – wise). Major scales are diatonic scales. Also the modes are diatonic scales.
• The black keys on a piano are a pentatonic scale. It is hard to play a bad note using the black keys only on a piano.
• Pentatonic scales used properly will produce a consonant line but if over used can be boring. You must go beyond just the scale. Remember to use chord tones also.
![Page 23: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Major Pentatonic Scales
• The formula is the 1,2,3,5 and 6 of the major scale. Notice no 4th or 7th degree from the major scale.
• For those who have learned the CAGED system these are all based off of the CAGED major scale forms.
• There is some suggested fingering but it can vary.

Notice the G and C forms of the pentatonic scale are very similar. Key is the tuning of the guitar with the 2nd to 3rd strings being a 3rd rather than a 4th appart.

One note on this. I find it easier to do the fingering shown on the E Major Pentatonic and it is different than on the E Major Scale. It affords the player to just move one finger out of the position.

Go through these until perfect
• Practice these every day.
• Next we will see the relationships to the minor pentatonic scales.
• The 6th degree of a major scale is the relative minor. For example: C major has the relative minor of A minor. C D E F G A

Minor Pentatonic Scales
• The formula for these is: 1 b3, 4, 5, b7.
• Key is to see these as related to the major pentatonic scale.
• With the addition on one note they become Blues Scales.

E minor pentatonic related to the G major. Here you can see how the relative minor is the 6th note of the major scale (don’t forget the pentatonic is missing the 4th and 7th notes of a major scale.
Again on this you could play 1 and 3 on the 2nd string and 1 on the 1st string.

Blues Scales From Minor Pentatonic Scales
• All that is added is the b5 of the scale.
• When playing solos this note most often resolves to the 5th or downward to the 4th. While it can do a skip that is less likely.

Lots here
• This is just the forms, next you will need to work with them.
• On the minor pentatonic scales the flat 3rd is many times bent up to the major 3rd in Blues licks unless the song is in minor. Learn where the flat 3rd is in each scale.
• It will take some time to master these. Work on them every day.
![Page 52: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Some examples
• Any time there is a major chord you can use the major pentatonic scale of the same letter name.
• Any time there is a minor chord you can use the minor pentatonic scale of the same letter name.
• Any 7th or dominant chord you can use the major pentatonic scale. Most of the time you can also use the minor pentatonic scale.
• In Jazz you can be more adventuresome.

Try these for yourself
• Play a chord and record it then apply the pentatonic to it.
• Some take a bit of time to get used to it.
• Then try progressions and see if you can find a pentatonic scale that would go against the progression.

Whole Thing – 12 bar blues – Notes in E blues Scale
![Page 58: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
This song is based off of the E blues Scale
333222
E Minor Pentatonic Scale
This is the basic scale but you will notice that in the introduction or first part that you play up to the 4th fret of the 3rd string (which is the same note as the 2nd string open that is in the scale.Clapton uses both of these scales. He has recorded this song as a cover of the John Lee Hooker version. I will include 2 versions of this in the following pages. There are also variations to these.
![Page 59: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Rest on beat one.Slide up from 2nd to 4th fret to start beat 2. Use your middle finger!!!Then back to 3rd string 4th fret slide down to 3rd string 2nd fret
![Page 60: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
First 2 measures. Note 2nd measure is just an E and A chord after the E note. Choke the last E chord!
![Page 61: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
This is very cool. Note that I usually slide up to the Bb in the 1st measure.This is the 3rd note in the measure. Again back to E A E at end.
![Page 62: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Here it has moved to A. Measure 6 is A D A. Note that the D is a bit different than you might be used to. Index on 2nd fret 3rd string middle 3rd fret 2nd string and 4th fret 4th string with ring finger. See next slide.

This is the end. Really cool timing on the last phrase with the ¼ notes on beat 3 and 4. Then the E A E.
Next slide is putting it all together. I just really like this tune. I have included after this a couple of variations of this. I can honestly say I have heard quite a large number of versions and everyone seems to put their own little signature to it.

This one uses slightly different chord voicings.
![Page 70: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Different hook on odd measures.Also harder chords.
![Page 71: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Now using the E blues or E Minor Pentatonic
• Work on Solo.• Work on making your own hooks. Take John
Lee Hookers idea and vary it.• Use open strings!!!• Have at least an A and B part.• Make up your own words.• Have fun with it.• Play in groups of 2. One with chords the other
with notes.
![Page 72: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Tie in to Clapton
• Eric Clapton listened to and copied many of the blues players from the US.
• Listen closely to this and you will hear lots of his styles.
• The blues scales and minor pentatonic and signatures of Clapton.
• Once you get the swing to this song is sort of plays itself.

Chords
• Only 5 chords in the song.• We will start in first position.• Introduction for most versions is:
4/4 ||: G | D | C | D : || repeated
• Live version #2 is:First a vamp of 4/4 ||: C |D : || then 4/4 ||: G | D | C | D : || repeatedNext we will add in the hook. This is the introduction 2
times and ending 2 times but also between the verses and going into the last verse from the bridge.

Introduction to Wonderful Tonight.
This is in tablature format. Each line is a string. The top line is the 1st or theHigh E string. The bottom line is the 6th or Low E string.The numbers indicate which frets to play. For example, the first number is On the 3rd string and is a 4 so you would play the 3rd string 4th fret. TheNext note is on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string then the next is the 5th fret of the4th string (since it is on the 4th line).
Here is the easy version.
![Page 76: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
You have 3 ways to do this.Suggest beginners do first one,Intermediates 2nd one and Advanced last one.
![Page 77: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Now for doing it more like the CD
• Play the root on Beat 1 – arpeggiate the chords – see next slide.
• Try both in 1st position and up the neck.
• Following are 4 examples of doing this.
• Last one is like the video but others will work just fine.
![Page 78: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

Learn both with fingers and with a pick.Also try with pick and fingers – called “Hybrid” picking.Do with each of the following ones:
![Page 80: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Same basic idea using barre chords.G in the E form.D and C in the A form.
![Page 81: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Timing is all 1/8th notes until here.
This is more what you want to head for. I would do with pick or hybrid picking but fingerpicking as above works really well.
![Page 82: Guitar Styles Of Eric Clapton Class III Covered tonight –Finish Sunshine of Your Love Start of Solo –Pentatonic Scales Review –Boom Boom – from early Yardbirds](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dd95503460f94ace0f7/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
This one is like what is on the video. Learn with both a pick and with your fingers. Really take your time. Use this pattern throughout the song. Notice how the first not is always the root of the chord. You could also move this up the neck with Barre Chords. On the Video though it is done in 1st position chords.

This is the first verse or part of the song. When there are 2 chords in a measure of 4/4 time each usually gets 2 beats.Strum each chord 2 times. This happens in the 3rd line 3rd measure of the song.See the * for where.
If you do an introduction you would play the first 4 chords.

Soloing
• Most likely a solo would be off of the main chords 4/4 ||: G | D | C | D : ||
• You could use the G major scale but the main notes would have to follow the notes in each chord.

The notes in the D major chord are D F# and A. Don’t play the G root of the scale!

C Chord
Notes in the C major chord are C, E and G.
Practice each of these seperately until you can do them smoothly. Use other notes in the scale as passing notes. Begin and end each line on a chord tone!
