On the original recording, there are actually 5 guitars
playing various parts, combining together for that wall of sound.
For our study, we'll break it down as to what you'd want to play
if you were the only guitarist in the band.
Start off in the open position with some hammer-ons and some pull-offs.
[Am] _ [Dm] _ _
[G] _ [C] _ [G] _ I would take a D5 [D] chord, [C] _
_ slide down to [B] C,
and then [A#] Bb, _ [F] _
[G] _ _ [C] back up [A] to C, [G] up [D] to D.
Let's do that whole sequence [Am] again.
[Dm] _ _ [C] _ [D] _
_ _ [C] _ [A#] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _
_ [A] _ [G] _ [D] _ Then we're going to solo in the 10th position, all hammer-ons and pull-offs,
[F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
bend at the 15th, whole step,
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ now 15th fret, _ _ [Gm] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ that repeats, _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
here's a half-step bend, [C#] _ and that gets [N] us into the verse.
_ _ For the verse, Clapton creates a rhythm part with strummed chords,
then back to the classic riff to get us into the chorus. _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A#] _ _ [F] _
_ _ Let's take a look at the strum pattern in the chords.
[C#m] We're on the 4th fret, C-sharp minor, we're playing these staccato,
so after you strum it, just lift up with the left hand so it stops ringing. _ _
_ _ _ _ Now on G-sharp [G#m] minor, _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] C-sharp [C#m] minor again,
_ [C] here's a C, _ [D] D, [E] and an E. _ _ _ _

[B] B, _ _ open [E] position, E, _ _
