OK, this is my first attempt at posting something, so I figured that I'd start easy. This is the signature lick that Clapton does in Bell Bottom Blues on the album "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs," by Derek and the Dominos. There are actually three guitars in this song, one rhythm, and two lead. Guitar 1, rhythm: F F G E------------------------------------------------I B----1--------------1---------3------------------I G----2--------------2---------4------------------I D----3--------------3---------5------------------I A----3--------------3---------5------------------I E----1--------------1---------3------------------I
Guitar 2, Lead 1: E--13----------------------10--------------------I B-----13-------11---------------11vib------------I G------------------12^full-----------------------I D------------------------------------------------I A------------------------------------------------I E------------------------------------------------I Guitar 3, Lead 2: E--13-13-------11--------------------------------I B--13-13-------11----------13--------------------I G------------------12^full&release(12)----(12)\--I <- Slide down D------------------------------------------------I A------------------------------------------------I E------------------------------------------------I And there it is. I don't have the time to post the solo now, but most of it uses these notes, with a few others, along with pinch harmonics. Good Luck with this great song.
