Progress to an advanced level of guitar playing - bulletproofguitarplayer.com It's Eric Clapton's birthday this Saturday, so I wanted to pay tribute to one of music's all-time greats. In this lesson I show you how Eric throws major 7th's into his blues licks that are based on the minor pentatonic and blues scales. This is something I noticed Eric doing a lot of when listening to him play the instrumental Cream track 'Steppin' Out'. It creates an interesting sound because the major 7th is not found naturally within the minor pentatonic and blues scales.
I hope you guys enjoy the lesson!

Oops - It appears I cut out a part of the theory section explaining what a major 7th actually is. If it's unclear from the description of the minor 7th, the major 7th is just one fret/semitone lower than the root note of the scale.
Glad you guys are enjoying the video!
@@thijs199 well put !
Clapton was 20 yrs old when he did the beano album
Although Cream played this tune, it was originally recorded by Eric when he was in the Bluesbreakers in 1966, before Cream started.
Yup!
lonegroover Right, that’s the album that gave birth to the cranked Marshall tone that changed music forever.
The tone people associate with Page, Slash, AC-DC, etc. But yeah, Clapton was first.
And more particularly the Les
Paul into cranked Marshall. No, it wasn’t Page, no it wasn’t Slash kids, it was Clappers
Clapton found "Steppin' Out" on a Memphis Slim record. Around the time he was in the Bluesbreakers he hung out with a guy named Ben Palmer who turned him onto a lot of great stuff via his amazing record collection. The Memphis Slim version had some piano riffs that Clapton re-created on his Bluesbreakers version. If you listen to both you'll hear 'em.

Page used a Tele, in the studio, more than any other, especially at that time period.
Yep. That’s the album I learned it from.
Those instrumental Clapton tracks from that period rules! Hideaway is another favourite of mine. Great video! 👍
Thank you Jens!
High praise, indeed - a comment and a like from Jens Larsen!
I'm 68 and was 16 when Cream came on the scene. I've heard people say that "Clapton sounds like every other blues guitarist". Well, I tell them, "No, every other blues guitarist sounds like Clapton". It's impossible to relate what it was like when the Beano album came out and then Cream shortly after. No one, and I mean NO ONE, had ever sounded like that before. All of the modern "tone chasing" that people spend thousands of dollars on started with the Beano album. If someone ever puts Clapton down then they just don't know.
@John Rapp Maybe at the time they were referring to guitarists on the British scene, and not including the original blues players. And you don't have to be insulting to people you don't know and might not get where they're coming from, man.
@John Rapp Is the name calling really necessary?
John Rapp cool it down asshole
so DAMM ABSOLUTE True !!!
Yeah, I came of age during Punk and had almost no clue who Eric Clapton was. My earliest memory of Clapton was seeing him play a brief duet in 1981 (!) on a Chas 'n' Dave TV special!
Anybody who doesn’t “get” Clapton should listen to “From the Cradle”. I lent it to my mate, he said “Now I get it....”
Tim Stevens Also “the Beano” album and Derek and the Dominos Live at Fillmore. To me those two are in his top 3.
i Have Nearly ALL Clapton Records ..i Like Slowhand (Cocaine , Lay Down Sally , Peaches and Diesel etc.)
461 Ocean Boulevard (Motherless Children ! , I Shot the Sheriff, Mainline Florida)
EVERY Cream Record , Some 70s Live Bootleggs ( E.C. was here)
MAN Eric Clapton is just one of my ABSOLUTE Music Darlings ..i lOVE this Man and his Music
I remember a guitar player friend laughing when I said I was going home to learn some Clapton licks. He was like, your a shred dude why would you learn Clapton. Vocabulary son. Put those shred ideas within a Clapton lick and you got something
And you get Johnny Winter!
Clapton is a legend because of the Bluesbreakers album and the rest of his early work up until Layla. In 1966 he was easily the best rock and blues guitarist in London.
So the real question is... was Clapton or Bloomfield better?
He was also pretty racist
The ONLY Rock and Blues guitarist in London, you mean! Cream practically invented the Rock genre in 1966.
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer No question - Clapton.
@@importantmancommenting9336 Piss off.
Eric Clapton's, Steppin' Out, has to be one of my favourite Clapton tunes. I'm an old guy and grew up listening to Clapton. Listening to the Steppin' Out solo brought back a whole lot of feelings and memories for me. I like your playing, Ross Campbell!
Thank you!
Thanks Ross - you are a really inspiring teacher because you don’t show off or muck about. You just get down to business. Thanks for all your help.
That’s where I got most of my licks, made them mine, strung them together and now they’ve become mine. Re: his blues songs that is etc. I think it was when he had his solo thing with a renewed interest in the blues. Although, I’ve had yrs of lessons, I’ve forgotten a lot and you’re a really good teacher. You put things together very well. Great video.
Agree 100% Alot of people don't realize how natural Clapton is at his playing. His blues runs still blow me away. Tone, arrangements, everything. Nice video !!!! Thank You !!
I always thought he was a bit naff until I heard the double crossing time solo. Damned if I know why he ever switched to a strat. I think his tone on the beano album was sublime.
I love his tone when it comes to the LP's and 335's.
I hate the "woman" tone personally and agree the beano album is my favourite.
I find your videos to be extremely well made, and well explained. Good on you. Thanks for the work.
Thank you!
Well I really enjoyed that a great deal. Thanks Ross for another awesome video. A big help to me for sure!
Thank you so much!
Tremendous video Ross, big fan of your channel too, love your teaching style and currently working my way through Bulletproof pt1 ( highly recommended) thanks for taking the time to produce these videos, much appreciated.
Thank you so much Neil!
Love your tone Ross!! Steppin' Out has always been one of my Clapton favorites. Thank you so much!
Thanks Jim!
This kind of gold free content is why I bought Bulletproof Guitar Player!!! Thanks for being one of the best on you tube!!
Thank you so much.
I started listening to EC when i was 11-12 yrs old i've seen him 3 times back in the 70s i'm 64 and still rocking the blues.
Claptons Style is just so AMAZING ..i know his music since 30 or more years ...i just LOVE this Man and his Music
When i FINALLY see him 2015 Live in Germany (Frankfurt) ..and he plays the first Lick on the Stratocaster , i just got GOOSEBUMPS ...He is a SAINT of Music !
Thanks Ross. Thank u Eric. Happy Birthday Slowhand!!!
GREAT TONE AND ABILITY, thank you brother 👈🏻👈🏻
Looove that beautiful sunburst!
Well done!
Nice playing meaty tone, great lesson, excellent production value. I saw Cream live on my birthday in summer 1967 at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. Baker, Bruce and Clapton all played unaccompanied solos. Clapton stood mid stage playing by himself brilliantly! He never dropped the energy pealing and peaking!
Incredible! Thank you for the kind words.
An absolutely beautiful and concise description intertwining music theory and practical playing. You are brilliant! Thank you
Thank you so much!
Fantastic video. One of my favorite ones you’ve made. Thank you for what you do.
Awesome. Thank you for supporting my work!
Nice one Ross, you always seem to talk about and express the things about blues that everyone should know! Awesome playing as usual!
Thank you!
Been following your channel since you were a scrawny and talented Harry Potter-looking kid, into a man who's developed a craft of his own. The quality of both the content and your teaching are tremendous. Keep it up.
Cheers, mate
PS- happy birthday Eric
Fluff !! Awesome !!
During this period, Clapton's phrasing really "swung"...You nailed it Ross!
Great video Ross!! Great playing and teaching as well.
Great lesson - Thx for sharing Ross!!!🤘🤘🤘🎸😎
Thank you Shaun!
I've been a full time musician for over 10 years now and i'm for the most part self taught with some lessons here and there and your standard books on theory etc. I recently bought Bulletproof Guitar Player Part II and I can't recommend it enough. I sometimes get into ruts and have a hard time deciding what to incorporate into my daily practice routine but the course was perfect and everything in it I could immediately apply to real world gigging. Seriously one of the best courses i've purchased. Nice work!
I'm so glad to hear that Brett. Thank you!
Another very good vid Ross really love your channel.you are a lot of help to me.thanks
Thank you!
Awesome video. Your touch, feel and tone are superlative. Getting the ‘feel’ of a Clapton solo right is an incredibly difficult task, but you nailed it about as good as I’ve ever seen. Fantastic job.
Appreciate that, thank you!
Agreed !
Ross this is great teaching thank you! Subscribed.
❤️💥HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC CLAPTON!🎉❤️
Thank you!
About time somebody else noticed Clapton's use of both 7ths and did a video. Nice job
Mate love your channel
What a great cinematic look! Amazing video and amazing quality Ross!
Thank you Jack!
This is perfect lesson never thought using major 7th along withc. minor pentatonic
Amazing stuff man, just discovered your channel. Just subbed!
He also did that song on the John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album. Eric Clapton is the man. Thank you for this lesson.
Yup....the Mayall Beano album cemented his future.
Rich J, totally agree the bluesbreakers is where Eric got his best tone and some fine playing.
@@tomruth9487 Yeh that Les Paul and Marhall JTM 45 were just perfect.
I just found your site. Nice job on Clapton. Thanks,
Like the first contributor I am 66 and was also listening to Clapton in those early days. He was exactly what you say. He opened something up well before others and when people denigrate his playing to me it's like Picasso. Envy !!!
Wow.... this was excellent!
These are amazing lessons, Ross, and I've seen many, many different channels try to do this.
Thank you so much!
Woah! Love that paradigm shirt and stings ! Great lessons ross, I've learned a lot from you man.
Thank you! I'm glad to hear it :)
Beautiful tone Ross, i follow you from México, You are an amazing guitar player!!
Thank you!
YES ..He is SO Damm good !
I'd say the first song that really blew my mind from early Clapton was Telephone Blues with Mayhall. Stepping out is very good but Telephone Blues, to me shows how much emotion Clapton was capable of. His guitar playing on Otis Spann's Pretty Girls Everywhere is quite exceptional too!
Ross-thank you for illustrating the nuances of guitar instead of being too regimented with scales.
Groovy Ross just learning theory at are local TSA school ...everything about the video I enjoyed ..especially the Claption part well done
Thanks a lot!
Tats are coming along nicely. 👌
Very Cool trying now..G minor Pent. Add F# Major 7th.You are right not something u here a lot..usually hear a lot of back and forth between minor and major 3rd...good lesson...to be honest I'm not that familiar with Eric's playing before the 70s ..always learning nice lesson.
Excellent work Ross, well done!
Thank you!
I was surprised at how "bluesy" the M7 interval sounds, almost blue note-ish. Very cool trick
Fantastic lesson. I love those examples.
Thank you!
Wonderful tribute to Clapton, well done!
Thanks!
Wow! Ross you have stepped up this video a notch.Well done.I'm still working through your course.There is so much content to absorb.Not quite bullet proof yet!
Thank you so much :)
The first video I saw of yours you were playing an Eastman. I have 4. Love them! It looks like this one is a Gibson. I never seemed to catch a glimpse of the headstock. Gibson?
I subscribed. I can learn a lot here. Very cool 😎 Thx!
"Steppin' Out" was actually written by blues musician Memphis Slim (although it was "credited" to his pseudonym L. C. Frazier). It was released in 1959. Memphis Slim played piano and the guitar solo was by the legendary Matt Murphy. Clapton's versions are better known and are absolutely killer! Go back to his original version on the Bluesbreakers "Beano" album where you'll also find an amazing cover of Freddie King's "Hideaway".
Oh cool! I didn't know that. Interesting!
Definitely gonna be using this in my solos 😍
Excellent lesson!
Every week, you put on content with absolutely tremendous value that I hold dear to my heart and I thank you. Your lessons provide supremely foundational elements that I overlooked when I began playing 22 years ago. I developed seriously bad habits, which I'm only now free from the hole of. I can now freely flow between modes, and describe what I'm doing so that my bassist, who is finally able to understand what is happening with theory. Thank you so much for everything and I look forward to becoming a patron. Please be patient, as I have little time during my schedule to figure the details.
Thank you Russ. It makes my day reading comments like this :)
I also needed to show that I can say more than just a word, with a profane modifier on it lol!
Always great content !
Thanks Kevin!
I like how you have the wisdom to know that Claptom likely wasn't thinking about it being a Major 7th. Well said. I have also been doing this for years learning the technique from delta blues standards and have always thought of it as more or a chromatic change. You explain things so well so that people like me can understand the "why" that should have been learned years ago.
Thanks Ross
that was really cool. im a fan of clapton but didnt know about this track!
Any chance you could share that backing track in the beginning? it sounds so good, also your playing is beyond incredible. Amazing tone man
Steppin out john mayel and the blues breakers 👏👏👏
Wowwee! Great tone!
Thanks for making it possible! ;)
The reunion gig at royal Albert hall is outstanding!
His solo lead playing intro to Stormy Monday at one of those gigs (?) is genius....I cannot replicate his playing of it at all. The man is inspired!
He can blow me away or is adequate. Right place right time.
Page Beck Green Taylor ... And Eric.
All from same general area in England. Must be something in the water!!🙌.
He was difficult sometimes, well known. Arrogant even.
I also rate Rory Gallagher.
All mesmerising. Thanks for the upload.
Nice one Ross. He probably didnt know though, a very feel player.
I never caught that major 7th before very subtle but very cool thanks
I lost the use of my ring finger after dupiter disease which tightened my hand up like a fist. I can't do it by substituting my little finger. I'm getting my badfinger going again now thanks to watching your licks. Blisteringly fast, I love it, Ross !
Ritchie Blackmore admitted to copying this when he was in Deep Purple.
...nice work!
MAN Ross ...You´re going to be my ABSOLUTE Favourite RUclips Guitar Player/Teacher ...
Your Clapton Style Solo was ..WOW ..Jawdropping !
Your Channel and your Lessons are SUPER Intresting .
Eric Clapton is also one of my BIG Idols , and i LOVE to Play some of his Great Solo´s as there is Cream -Crossroads (especially the second solo ..its KILLER !)
Layla (with Derek and the Dominos) of COURSE Steppin Out or Hideaway
I know Guitarplayers (User in a Internet forum) who say that Clapton is a noodler ...i said "Ummm Ok and who is a good Lead player ? Billy Corgan ?"
LoL i mean COME ON ! Eric Clapton is one of the GREATEST Artists AT ALL in the 20th Century ..NOT a Noodler ..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC !!!
I’ve always heard that note but never played it, which is always why I never got it to sound right. Super cool lesson!
Thanks!
Excellent. Wish I could play like that. Well done.
Thank you!
Steppin' Out
That intro was the BBC version......his phrasing on Stepping Out is damn near perfect.
I'm new to your channel and boy, am I glad I stumbled upon it. Could you share the backtrack that you played over in the intro of this video - it would be a lot easier to learn it. All I'm finding online are slower paced versions, which don't include Clapton's version. Also, I just followed you on IG, can't wait to learn some Derek Trucks.
Watch also Eric Clapton solo on Same ole Blues Live at Montserrat 1997, also very impressive for those who are not convinced yet
This is extremely well played
Thank you!
Best Clapton era in my opinion with Cream, but even if i'm not his biggest fan the man is a legend and made an astounding contribution to blues guitar playing, the video's great aswell by the way.
coog houblaga Thank you!
Steppin out is with Mayal. It appears live on a Cream album, but it's with John Mayal
I'm a huge Clapton fan! Matter of fact, my first guitar was exactly like "blackie" a '74 Strat! It was dual duty fan homage to him & Jimi. I just followed you on Instagram too, Ross! A lot of my early playing days were spent on learning Hendrix & Clapton songs, 2 monsters on style & tone. I got stuck emulating Clap-tone (Slowhand)
Oh nice! I recently saw 'Blackie' in person at the Guitar Center in West Hollywood.
Great video!
Thank you!
I’ve never heard this track before and my jaw actually dropped.
Layla is for sure one of the greatest guitar albums of all time
Also Lazy by Deep Purple makes a lot more sense after hearing this
Now, this is a legit Clapton rendition. Well done.
Thank you!
Ross Campbell Thanks to you. I loved your work here: tone, phrasing, the analysis ... this is it.
Great vid Ross
Thanks!
Ross, check out Eric’s version of Dylan’s ‘Oont think twice it’s alright’ that he performed at Dylan 30th Anniversary tribute gig. His soloing in this track is probably one of the best solos I have ever heard him done. Coming from someone who has seen him live 70+ times.
ruclips.net/video/qyL0LyozYWY/видео.html
It’s audio only as video of this doesn’t seem to exist on RUclips.
@Ross Campbell Any tips for getting similar cool mid cutting old school british blues tone? What gear you used here?
Nice one.
He got that from Freddie King. He used the Major 7th all the time. It's what I think helps give a swinging feel.
Hey Ross love it man! I think it’s more of a neighbor tone than a true Major 7th considering he doesn’t use the sound for more than a brief chromatic moment. Thanks for the videos brother
Yeah good point. That's probably a better way of putting it :) Thank you!
F# over a Gm chord implies harmonic or melodic minor. The F# also appears as a b5 in the C minor blues scale. It's a major 3rd of D.
Hi Ross, i'm a big fan of yours. Would you do a Slash, and Hendrix licks? I'm trying to get the rock/blues-melodic blend that those two have in their guitar playing. (and more Clapton pls)
Search for both on my channel - I've done both a couple of times each
He's also playing major 3rd over minor pentatonic although most players should already know this..The opening lick on 'Johnny be good' is necessary useful , A basic fundamental, only in Mental', never enviromental .The importance is sensual
If anyone wants to hear his complete mastery of going in and out of major and minor you should listen to his version of Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight from Reptile. It's the Isley Bros version of the song and man he KILLLLLS it with his majors and minors. One day I was listening to it in the car with my wife and I just started shaking my head and she said "What's wrong?" and I was like "Oh nothing. I was just admiring how nasty it is when he goes in and out of major and minor". She had no clue what I meant but guitar nerds would understand. LOL!
