It is coming along well. You seem to be struggling with those acending note hammer ons. Maybe you should isolate that part and practice it a bit more to get it up to the level of the rest of your playing.

I've never seen that part transcribed with hammer ons. I've only ever seen it either with each note picked or with slides. I prefer the sliding method myself, it sounds smoother to my ear.

I whipped up this little snippet here to demonstrate - my first ever recording I've posted online by the way.

I can tab that out for you if you're interested.

It sounded to me like he was doing hammer ons, but that could just be the muddy recording.

Thumbs up

I agree with Munky, definitely slides are the order of the day.

Keep at it jason, practice makes perfect and thanks for posting. It's always good to see learners putting in the time, and well done on the keyboard.

Yup Clapton slides it. I was commenting on how Jason was doing it.

Not 100% sure, but I believe on most of that lick Clapton uses string bends...!!!


All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

I can't hear the clip, get a "cannot be played in AOL media player" window pop- up. But from what I remember, if it's the intro lick before the lyric begins, I'd have to agree with NoCat about the bending, that's the way I've always played it.

I've attached the Guitar Pro file I was reading from, and if you don't have Guitar Pro, I've exported the file into ASCII tab. Hope this helps.
