I've always felt like he does this lick as a tribute to Buddy Guy because Buddy does huge bends like this as well but he'll go even higher with his. Clapton is my favorite player ever and I use this lick all the time when I'm wanting to sound all Claptony. LOL!
100% agree! Buddy absolutely does the huge bends. It's the hammer on pull off licks that usually follow that make it Clapton's. But I wouldn't at all be surprised if he got the bends from Buddy. Thanks for the comment and insight!
@@stevecarereguitar ;) I gave up on my JM Cypress Mica and one unused Taylor 214, so I can afford it (and excuse buying it), so in effect I did not spend additional money, quite the opposite. I bought it blind, never played one before, only because of the Premier Guitar rig rundown with his tech... and I am very much impressed by that guitar.
STEVE CARERE, Try to do 10 HABITS of Clapton CREAM Era. Listen to all the live albums and studio albums because he has phrasing habits like albert king has his own signature phrasing habits. Clapton mostly focuses on using the dom7 CAGED system instead of using the major & minor CAGED system. Clapton will like to use major pentatonic licks closing the phrasing with dom7 triads CAGED. The main thing to focus on is his clapton double stops dyads he uses over the chord changes on which double stops dyads he uses. You could make a top 10 clapton double stop dyads video lesson also because he uses those double stop dyads to create tension and dissonance with the chords changes.
Ahh! Excellent point. In the first two examples he is playing the lick over the four chord and ending it on the 13th fret root note as it transitions to the 1 chord. In the 3rd example he is soloing over a static 1 chord. Thanks for pointing this out. Next video I will be sure to give a little more information. Thanks!

I was watching some videos on dumble amps and was suggested by YT to watch your video. Cool lick to learn and well taught. Tasty solo at the end!
Thank you very much! Not exactly a Dumble video, but glad you found some value in it.
what a great lesson, and just on time, I've got the Clapton Strat last week :) thanks a lot!
Jealous! I would love to have one his signature models. Thanks for tuning in!

Thanks for the recommendations! Much appreciated
Well explained :-)
Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out
Fantastic bends, Steve! Curious what guage strings you are using and how are you liking the SE?
Thanks Jay! The strings are 10's and the SE is a fantastic guitar! Gig ready out of the box.
I noticed that he does a certain double stop on the G and B string a lot. I hear it in just about every solo he does
ruclips.net/video/0ocvagEvDT0/видео.html Is it the move in this solo at 0:44? If so, that is 100% another classic Clapton Signature lick. Good spot!
@@stevecarereguitar that’s it 💯!
Where in the progression does he play it? Going to the 4 Chord? Etc etc
