Here’s a video with some riffs from the song Bad Love from Eric Clapton’s Journeyman album (1990). A return to form some might say for EC(!)
On my Ibanez I am down tuned, down to D standard, so I am actually playing the riff in D Minor. On the record, it appears there is a Wah-Wah on it, but I just used a standard overdrive setting for now. The riff can be found throughout the song, but obviously there are verses with chordal stuff in and the chorus.
At the outro, there is a clean riff , where it leads into a very technical tasty solo by Eric. Quite fast in places that solo is too! Although I teach to Grade 5 on guitar I must admit, I would find it very difficult to learn that solo ! Then again , it is of a very high technical standard! EC after all!
I am just playing the basic riffs here, just so as to give you an idea.
Have a look at other pages on the website, and get in touch if you would like to book a trial lesson and see whether having a tutor can help you progress on the guitar!
