EC 'signature endings'

Post by redrooster »

Hi, recently i've been trying to get that "sweet" endings that Eric does for example in the version of "Clapton and Friends" in the song Wonderful Tonight. I am refering to the last lick, that I think he usually does in major songs, but I don't know for sure. Does anybody know what he's doing exactly? Every time I hear this, it's like a perfect ending for a song, I mean, it's like when you're reading the last lines of a great, great book, and you feel very good. So, for me, this is what this man "says" with this last phrase.

Hope someone can help! Thanks.

If you have any other song than WT, I'll be glad to tab it for you. :big_smile:

Likewise... I was playing at the local bar Monday, when the keyboard player busted out into WT, and I couldn't really remember the signature lick, let alone any actual licks and phrases. (we had never played or rehearsed this tune) I couldn't help but think of Gerd, and laugh out loud while faking it. :lol:

Can someone tab out the ending of Crossroads, that Clapton does in this video, or something similar?

More or less standard EC licks - can you narrow the time range to about 15 sec?

Awesome, didn't even know he'd played on Jules Holland as well, cheers for the link.

The ending is just a piddle around in blues box one using double stops, the tab above is a good start to go from :)
