  • Incredible. You got everything wrong from the key to the technique. I came to this site to learn something. i see guitarists play the lick many different ways-- listen to Joe Terry on the 451 Ocean Blvd. tour and watch Eric or his partner on many of the Layla live videos. The original was overdubbed so many times that there really isn't a definitive way to play it. I think you're putting us all on but some little kid with his first guitar might actually take you seriously.

  • Thumbs up if he's naked because he's fucking cool.

  • Nice one dude. A good tutorila for beginners. But you should really watch Clapton play and improvise.

  • I got it now thanks to you! You're awesome :D

  • You don't know shit about this song! Have you ever really listened to it ?? Watched EC playing ? It's embarrassing to watch an idiot like you trying to teach a song you have no clue about!! Where are the numerous string bends ?? To your 'maybe'--you are a shitty player who doesn't realize it. Take some advice friend...

  • Dude thanks for getting this on. Heard the riff for years and had no idea how easy it was!

  • nice tits

  • dam it i need taps, but i finnaly got the first part down thanx man

  • this is really helpful as its the only video that shows the simple version of the riff!

    :)

  • keep doing the good work :) with love from Pakistan :)

  • holy shit...dude DO NOT EVER UPLOAD ANOTHER VIDEO...YOU SUCK!!!!!!!

  • Dude you rock im just learning to play after havin my guitar for oh 3 years ive picked it up befor and learnt a few little tunes i tought myself redemption song by bob marly by watching the music video and it only took me about an hour but i just watched this vid to see how dificult it would be for my sausage fingers to play i picked up my guitar and have got it after about 3 or 4 trys dude have you thought about teaching guitar thanks dude

  • good job man!

  • give him a break! It's 105 degrees, If I had that temperature here In Portugal I would die if I had a shirt

  • nice job man! keep rockin'. Not too many dudes these days making an effor to learn Clapton riffs! So you get props there bro! But please....put a shirt on! =/

  • thanks for this vid im learning the riff (: love clapton so good

  • omg this is fuckin horrible

  • as far as i know is the riff in D minor, what are you trying to tell us, with this vid. i think there is something wrong... ;)

  • Duck97, you're an okay guitarist, and i liked your video because you clearly explained the intro riff to Layla, which was what you were trying to do. But at the end you wasted our time by telling everyone that you suck, which just makes you look like a loser with low self-esteem. I know you said its hot, but you should put on a shirt when making a video unless you are incredibly ripped (which no offense, you aren't). Overall good job.

  • Keep working on it kid-o!  Not bad!

  • OH YEAH! GO MELANIE!!!!

  • kid.....that video is rubbish....sorry...thats absolutely wrong playing...

  • where are your bends? lame lesson.

  • can U please put a fucking shirt?

  • Easier with a Capo

  • dude u fuked this up...u need to learn to use a vibrato and it starts on the 10th fret....how the fuck did u get 72,000 views

  • @nomoreblo 72,000 views....only because when people searched "shirtless" on youtube this vid came up.

  • dude not bad that was alright

    i dont know why people are giving you so much shit your vid sounds close to that little lick at the end , even tho if its just a tiny bit , anyways keep playing man

  • TAKE ON A SHIRT

  • thanks do i don't know why everyone hates this.... this is a really helpful lesson its just some notes were a bit messy, but it helped me out haha thanks :)

  • Respect !!!

  • sorry but plese put a shirt on!!!!

  • plug your guitar to an amplifier

  • haha I love how you start with "unless your wondering why I wear no whirt" oh it's no problem :P

  • i actually liked his lesson..good job dude!

  • you sure wanted to look sexy:)

  • guys even if he is a shit guitarist keep it to yourselves please, there is no need for nasty language, arguing on the internet is like the para-Olympics....even if you win your still a retard =P

  • ogol sobie pachy!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you! Excellent lesson!!

  • This was really helpful man. Good work

  • great job man, real easy to follow

  • man this is like licks for dummys!! perfect for me, lmfao thanks man iv allllways wanted to learn that shit, now i knooo

  • thanks very helpfull leanr tin about 10 minutes :D

  • i think 916 pepsi`s favourite words are ignorance and ignorant. great video

  • ive learnt it as 10h13, clapton does bend on 13 and 15th fret, but i find it easier to slide

  • ty great job

  • put a shirt on fag, oh yea then go get guitar lessons......gimme a break!!!!

  • @markdrums1 hey bitch why dont you go get a fucken life instead of puting people down this was an okay lesson and apparently you didnt know how to play the damn song either, thats why you were looking at this video.

  • @markdrums1

    i doubt u could play this worth a shit

  • @markdrums1

    if you are better post a video

  • mika  x) wTf.. Ö__ô

  • Shirt on or off this was nicely done and speaks to people at your level of guitar playing. Excellent video and thanks for putting it together. Good job.

  • this would have been a good video but dude, keep your shirt on, i dont wana see it

  • Nice simple teaching style, duck. Great clarity. Thanks.

  • AWESOME!!!, hey guys check out my layla cover, its sweet :)

  • awesome, thanks for the help

  • If anyone asks why you dont have a shirt on dont give them the real reason dude...just say "cause im a rock star hoe!...why do you have a shirt on!?"

  • You haven't a clue what you are doing. Eric uses string bending all throughout these parts you're trying to pass off as to the way it's done and the people that follow you learned it wrong. If you want to show off to youtube piack a subject you might know something about...dork!!!

  • It is much easier to bend up two frets, and that is what Clapton does.

    Nice vid! Very helpful!

  • Mate, this was very useful, thanks for posting it.

  • Helped me alot! Thank you.

  • Hey Duck, your a good guy for posting this! Keep it up mate!

  • great vid mannn :P! red a few comments back pepsi sed get off ur computer haha that made me laugh cuz hes the one thats posted like a gazillian comments i bet hes a fool who cant even play guitar so stop critisizing other peoples work and get a grip man cuz u r one sad ass foool :D duck u go man :D!!

  • I believe actually does it at the 10th fret, not the 11th.

    unless he tunes his guitar differently...

  • Yes, the 10th not the 11th fret. Then it fits with the riff demo by the other guy also using a black Strat on the bottom end of his guitar. First hit open A string, then hammer on C (3rd fret A string), hit Open D string, hammer on F (3rd fret D string) etc and on to his power chord section etc.

  • he doesn't slide up two frets if you watch him on you tube in one of his live videos,

    he bends up two notes,not sliding up two frets.

  • Wow bro..shirt or no shirt you broke it down easy for a clueless dude..haha..guess it is not as hard as it sound thanks bro!

  • Could someone make a tutorial for this on the piano ?

  • Man it's not a concert u don't have to take your shirt off.:P

  • Cool & nicely presented. Keep on rockin!! All you negativo's; if you can't say something good, then don't say anything. This guy's doing just great! We all have to start somewhere & if Pepsi disappears into the sunset with his S100.00 Squire, I hope he takes his zero dollar attitude & shoves it where the sun don't shine!.

  • Why people being so mean he did hes best hes a nice person. Seems like a cool kid. Plus he sounded good to me

  • I'm sure girls won't be complaining and some boys

  • Yo Duck, good job man, you're young and will get much better. I'm 60 and just started playing about 6 months ago, yes, took my whole life to get it together to do something I always wanted to do, your post helped. Who cares it isn't perfect, you tried and that's what is important. As for Pepsi, there are always idiots like him that have to talk crap. Just ignore him as he fades into the sunset with his $100.00 Squire.

  • layla riff(Duane Allman) you people make me sick

  • i think 99.99 % of u wernt even born or around sorry folks u missed it

  • your not the best guitar player im not. i learned the riff thanks

  • Like I said duck97 go ahead but how about you actually get the correct tableture and learn it before you made a video where people are looking to play the correct version and you just feed them a load of bullshit which sends out more sorry ass guitar players who think they are badass when in reality they suck ass and its because of people like you and your sorry ass fake online tabs written by even sorry people than you thats right theres people even sorrier that you! So please do as you please.

  • Stop your hating. I suck at guitar and I love that someone has taken the time to explain to me a simple version of this awesome riff.

    You're the sorriest fuck I've had the misfortune of pumbing into all day. You know what... I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that you're all that's wrong with the world. When my little cousin hands me a drawing of a stick figure night do I tell him its shit? do I tell him he sucks ass?

    I'm learning and I don't need you to tell me I suck.

  • @916Pepsi HOW THE FUCK IS THAT YOUR PROBLEM YOU ELITIST LITTLE CUNTBAG I SWEAR IF I ERVER MEET YOU FORGET ABOUT THREATS FROM THE KEYBOARD ILL FUCKING SMASH YOUR FACE IN WITH ONE

  • man u are lame sry for that comment :) im trying to help u. plz practise before u do a video. (and i agree with 916pepsi)

  • if you have the time to go back a few pages, to the beginning of 916pepsi's rant, you'd know why nobody wants to hear from him.

  • 916 pepsi, I'm marking all your comments as spam. Please leave, nobody wants you here.

  • i think that may be what I'm looking for

  • he had a cOOL hair man!!

  • hot in l.a.? dont doubt ya but try moving to texas!

  • 1º learn more

    2º cut ur hair

    3º use a shirt or else

  • you don't have any right to tell him to cut his hair, its his hair and he can wear it any way he desires.

  • does it matter if its correct or not, seriously i definatly learned something from this and i mean i never knew even where to start with this amazing song and now i do. why dont you guys stop slagging him. yeah maybe it is wrong but who cares i learnt something from it so why dont you not watch it if you think its shit. thanks for posting this duck97 its reaaly goood :)

  • 916Pepsi and Polska555 have no life.

    It wasnt a bad lesson sounds just like he played it in the song

  • I'm afraid this isn't correct.

  • why do people play guitar with their shirts off!!!!!!!!???????? its so annoying!!

  • terrible

  • I agree with the rest. DO NOT TEACH!!! LEARN A LOT MORE AND GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER before posting a lesson. Don't you believe in bending notes the way the song should be played. BTW "NICE TITS"

  • This is definitely the consumate you tube sample sight!

  • 916Pepsi...

    I've been reading your rants for a while now, they're funny shit to read when I'm bored. But at some point, you just have to give it a rest. You can say you don't think this video is accurate, and that's fair enough. But for you to turn this video into a forum for you to brag, and to be a dick to everyone is just completely out of line. Especially since it's apparent to everyone reading these comments that you're a massive douchebag. Please, nobody cares what you have to say anymore.

  • A note to all you beginners. This is completely incorrect. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. Sorry if the truth hurts but it is what it is. You should spend more time practicing instead of teaching. If you're only in it to impress your friends I feel sorry for you. Best wishes!

  • hes young and should actually learn the song b4 teaching a cock sucking version.... just seeing the opener was enough for me to realise this kid is an asshole and cant play guitar... i already know how to play layla but am also interested in others phrazing and feel i have lost out on 6 mins of my life by watching that wanna be kid teaching himself the guitar and has clearly got sun stroke ...........

    im ashamed for you that you put your face to it.... !!!!

  • youtubers are, in general, wankers

  • Pepsi, most people that brag about how rich they are usually don't have any money, if you have it, you don't have to talk smack. You're 15, don't know shit, all you have is a big mouth, you probably have an Epiphone and have taken a few lessons, take your BS somewhere else Punkass! Oh yea, learn how to spell, Dumbass.

  • Good job on this tune! I have been playing guitar for 30 years and this tune was difficult for me to figure out!

  • awesome vid, best teacher on you tube. (part from maybe bobby crispy)

  • WRONG DUMBASS its 10 hammer on 14 and play from the top e 15 bend 15 release 12 B string 13th fret and 10 top e. I got the official book

  • Comment removed

  • that is the way I learned it

  • then why are you watching this video... go ahead and play it wrong

  • Are you stupid or just stupid? I got the official Eric Clapton tableture book. That's not the way you play it. Have fun playing it wrong.

  • youre the dumbass. B string hammer 10h13,

    E string 10h13 13 bstring estring 10 then bend 13 fret on bstring full up and down then play 12th fret same string then down to 13th on B and back to 10th on E

    "i got the official book"

    ooh woow care to specify which book this is?

  • Are you stupid or just stupid? I said in my comment that I made a mistake and it was B 10 hammer on 13. Don't jump to conclusions jackass. Btw it's called "Jam with Eric Clapton" It's $30 but your poor witted ass is too poor to afford so go back to your online tabs.

  • sorry bub; i see no comment with a correction you fuckfaced cocksucker. thats the only way you earned the 30 bucks to buy the book. i don;t need a book or tabs i usually learn by ear or seeing some one else play it.

  • mmmm Ever occur t o you that it got deleted? And learn by ear? HAHA 2 ways this happens. 1) You're trying to sound pro and say you can learn by ear or 2) You do learn by ear but all the wrong tabs. No other choices so pick your choice?

  • no if it was deleted it would say comment removed by author.

    no man im not trying to sound pro because im not pro

    but this is an easy tune for this main riff and i picked it up by ear. of course i didnt learn everything i know by ear. i do have a guitar teacher and he gives me music and so i learn. now piss off asswipe.

  • Lol damn you got no life, like 3 minutes after I post a comment you immediately post a comment, get off the computer. And guitar teachers haha Phail!!!!. I'm too pro for guitar teachers. I teach guitar teachers.

  • HAHA. wow

    you also replied 3 minutes after i posted a comment.

    maybe because im talking to friends on msn which you dont have.

    fail with a ph now arent you cool.

    wooow you teach guitar teachers? really. dang now that is interesting becuase youre a fuckface.

  • Im on youtube, I got a pop up saying a douchbag made a reply. And ya I dont have MSN cause its retarded thats why they made cell phones so you can get youre sorry ass outside. Did I say I was cool because I used PH? PHAIL once again and ya im a fuckface becasue I fuck ur moms face so thanks for that. And yes Im all to pro well at least better than you'll ever be, dont believe me? Well bring it bitch. Post your best vid and Ill kick ur ass in it.

  • oh yeah ok faggot you fuck your own moms face you cocksucking shithead. i saw your blackbird vid

    sucks ass. could pwn it blindfolded. i would post a vid but i dont have time for you.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD OWN UR ASS IN ANY SORT OF GUITAR RELATED BATTLE, common bitch, prove me wrong in front of everyone. Id play Sweet Child and it would own your ass. Blackbird was a simple cover that I made with 3 redbulls. Im bullshitting you? Then see how good I really am and post a video and Ill whoops ur ass in it.

  • bring it bitch.

    sweet child o' mine. slash's part of the song.

    with or without his last epic solo?

    exscuses on your part too dickrash. 'made with 3 redbulls' so? ill fuckin drink a beer and still own you.

  • YES!! BRING IT!!! Full song, intro, solo and ending solo, Ill fucking own you. And 1 beer wont do shit unless your a pussy and 1 is all you can handle. In fact even before the song Ill be soloing to w/e show your prick ass whos the best. You got to show some sort of proof that its you playing not something you found. This will be great practice for me.

  • lol. well see the thing is good sire is that i dont drink caus im underage and you wont prove anything by beating me. i dont know the full song you see; i havent been playing for very long and i cant do slash's ending solo at full speed.

    plus.

    fuck you.

  • Im 15 ive been playingsince I was 4. Thats over a decade, I know every aspect of that song, Ill drink 5 shots of vodka and show it and then play it. Which guitar should I whoops ur ass in? My fender strat of Gibson SG Standard?

  • well if youve been playing for 11 years and I've barely played a year. then really its obvious theres no competition. but on another note;

    fuck you. ooh ill drink 5 shots of vodka caus im 15 and i want to mess up my brain. dumbass.

  • Comment removed

  • No jackass, its people like you that are a disgrace to playing guitar, Ive been playing for that decade everyday. And wtf are you talking about? VOdka doesnt kill brain cells jackass thats weed. Alcohol turns into sugar inside the blood thats why people get drunk it has nothing to do with brain cells Do us all a favor and just throw away your guittar youre not worthy of calling yourself a player

  • cocksucking faggot. alcohol kills braincells. look it up dumbfuck.

  • yo dipshit ur not worthy of saying anyone is not worthy of calling themselves a player so wat u hav been playing for 11 years great for nobody gives a shit so stop pissin off other people dumbass

  • Don't you love the human nature? One feels that one is the bad guy and the other is a good guy and so you feel that you must be a hero and slain the bad guy and become the hero yet thats not the case. The case what you are doing is a clear example of ignorance, you had absolutely no business in this little minute business yet you feel like you had to come to this kids aid.

  • you son of a bitch it doesnt matter you dont say somone cant call themselves a player i dont care how you are you dont have the rite i dont care what he did to you and if hes a kid y the hell ru talking about drinking and cussing a him

  • Listen you ignorant piece of shit, dont even say you're not ignorant, look it up youre a clear example of it. I merely stated that this tab was wrong and cakewalker21 obviously agrees with me and this kid wants to come to me and cursing saying that I suck and I'm wrong, if you suck at playing guitar then dont talk shit unless you're willing to back it up, he obviously could not do that. So hes not worthy of playing guitar. Don't bother replying as forth I wont reply nor read it. You fail at life

  • How can we even take u seriously? Offcourse you can say his tabs are wrong or w/e, just say it on a propper way, the guy is trying to learn something, let him be and dont say stuff like, "He's not worthy of playing guitar", thats rubbish and i hope you can figure that out on yourself.

  • I'm sorry who are you? If you don't know everything that happened then please stay the fuck out of it. That's not even remotely close to what happened so stay the fuck out of people's business especially if you don't even know what happened. God, you got to love ignorance these days.

  • Exactly with what i meant with my comment, are you having ur period? Whats up with all the offence towards people?

  • Yes thats exactly whats wrong, people like you feel as if they need to come in and slain or control the bad guy and become the hero thats the whole purpose you wrote that comment towards me and don't say it wasn't because we both know that'll be a lie, thats a clear example of ignorance, and that wasn't a offense I was using that word correctly because you showed ignorant behavior so I simply pointed it out. Look up the definition of ignorance and you'll see what I mean don't jump to conclusions

  • Your first sentence was enough for me to know your paranoid, why should i want to be a "hero" on the internet? I just found your comment rude and unnecesarry, and thats the only reason why i pointed it out.

  • Me paranoid? Haha adorable. What do I have to be paranoid about? And once again you show another clear example of ignorance. Please refrain from making a reply as forth I won't read it nor care about it. I don't have time to waste my precious time to tell you all the reasons how you are not right but yet just another ignorant person among us. Goodbye.

  • I dont see anything ignorant about it, i only told you your comment was out of place and rude.

  • Ignorance? Ignorant? Who the fuck are you, michael jackson on south park? Shut the fuck up.

  • sooo being an awesome guitarist u came to watch this vid to what.... rage for over 2 months about how the riff was wrong?

  • ummm ...... You suck. Thats all. You just suck, I don't know why but its just a fact man, you gotta face it.

  • Lol thats another example of ignorance, you have no clue who I am, what I do, how good I am at guitar, drums, piano, or bass. I believe you never met me so how can you make that remark? If you have met me then you would truly know I would own your ass at any sort of guitar related challenge, I don't know how you can play so I'm not going to make some sorry ass insult that makes me look like a douche bag. Please refrain from replying to this. And duck97... go ahead, I'm not stopping you.

  • Now the real case is he was talking smack to me saying that my video sucked so I called him out on it but then he has only been playing for one year so he has no business calling me out on that especially since he sucks and I've been playing 11 years so he backed out and started to insult me yet again. So under this shameful act of ignorance and cowardness I told him he not worthy of playing guitar. So until you get you're shit straight then know you're rank or do you want to challenge me to?

  • What a dumbass dude. Seriously its so gay. Spend like 3 weeks fighting with people. Get with the program dipshit. YOUR A DUMBASS. D-U-M-B-A-S-S. You're so cool. Im sure your like an awesome musician....THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU COMMENTING ON YOUTUBE LIKE THIS? Your excuse that you were just pointing out he was wrong. NO you specifically said "WRONG DUMBASS". Who the fuck are you to be saying that? It wasn't just a comment explaining it was wrong. It was being a dumbas. Go get a life.

  • Bye, 916Pepsi =)

  • @duck97 is a motherfuckin pussy bitch. Where do you live, I want to go to your house and kick your ass.

  • @mcshiffern

    hope you don't mind, I upvoted this cause you're funny as hell.

  • @duck97 Thanks

  • @mcshiffern Dude, calm down. Duck97 is doing something that he loves and trying to help people do the same. What are YOU doing? If he's such a pussy bitch, why are you watching? Says a lot about you. You're one of those gangsta wannabe's aren't you? Pants hanging off your ass like a dipshit? Grow up.

  • Definition of ignorant: Lack of knowledge or learning and unaware, uninformed.

    Example: 916Pepsi's first post.

    Calling someone a dumbass for having one fret higher than the actual song without even knowing the person=ignorant

  • @916Pepsi and anyway i may not be able to best you at guitar but i will smash your teeth in thats how vile i think your personality is

  • @916Pepsi wow looking back at the comments not only are you young but your ignorant as well jeez kid get a life if your so pro at guitar go out and make something of it if you are as ppro as you say you are you should be a fucking millionaire by now but then again with your attitude i dotn see many people wanting a band with you so have fun playing yourself know what the guild of muscicians is? i doubt it but you would not get in

  • shut up about my cousin!

  • yo fleck im talking to 916pepsi not about the video

    i like this guys tutorial. its accurate and well made.

  • @916Pepsi come back when you have some facial hair dumbass

  • Thank u so much this is by far the best layla lesson i've ever seen.

  • very nice lesson sounds like the song but im not sure thats how clapton plays it, i've seen him playing it on youtube

  • Comment removed

  • does it really matter?

  • Comment removed

  • I have to respond to this guy just cause he's such an asshole:

    No, I'm not gay. I've been with my girlfriend for a year and a half now. but it wouldn't be a big deal even if I was.

    get off youtube, you poor ignorant homophobe.

  • lol

  • I love doing the First riff in the song, the feedback up on 12 and 15 on the 4th and 5th strings are a good warmup for the reall thing the second time, The riff after that, it's so fun doing a full bend.
