How To Play Wonderful Tonight By Eric Clapton

[tomzz4]

good lesson, but next time choose a guitar that doesn't hurt my eyes

[HumanTriop]

Guitar looks and sounds ugly.

[DannyKKoren]

hi bro what i dont like in your vid its the sound please try to fix it

[chessismygame9]

the 66 dislikes were obviously directed to your crappy ass looking guitar....

[biratz]

what an ugly guitar..

[Nobhillbluesman]

Horrible tone.

[dvd1731]

sonds like a tramps vest

[olavowinckler]

thanks danman. i like it

[BluesDepartmen]

The person who designed that guitar is a fucking idiot.

Thanks for the lesson though.

[vanepico]

You taught the riff well but the chords left me confused, can you put them in the description?

[wheelman11]

you suck at teaching man, but thx for teaching me

[wheelman11]

yo no offence but u suck at teaching

[Guitarificaification]

the guitar looks like a parker fly :)

[fearmenot22890]

i gotta ask, did you use a tin can for an amp? XD lol, it sounds like a shamisen

[bloc22]

everyone makes fun of the guitar. Why? People use to do the same thing with jaguars and mustangs and now they're coming back in popularity in a huge way.

[jpablosnm]

i love your guitar.!!.. it´s a fender?

[jhnrcknjr]

@jpablosnm dont be a dumb ass.

[yhtomitalmighty]

@jpablosnm it's a parker guitar, google it.

anyway this blows..

[satansprick13]

ugly guitar , and more ugly player.i hate your stupid eyes. my prick into your eyes!!!!

[kingofkaoss]

@satansprick13 wow thats hard out

[triauto99]

nice!!! that guitar is sick!

[KillerCookieMagMetal]

funny guitar :DD:D

[tondec33]

you may need more bending & vibrato........

[BelleM44]

hey nice lesson man. what kind of guitar is that? i don't know if it exactly fits the song, haha, but i've always really liked that oriental tone and have never managed to find it with mine... or is it just some effects giving it that sound?

[MerlotKompressor]

what do you mean walk down to e minor?

[sliptwixt]

lol



[THEBLUR2583]

thats the worst guitar i think ive ever seen go buy a fender strat or gibson sg buddy it sounds like a fuckin chineese pile o shit

[BoIivarDan]

@THEBLUR2583

He just has it set to sound like that because he likes it that way.. Parker guitars rival Gibson and Fender.. Go check them out, the hay some very impressive electronics.

[mfinn1982]

Thanks for the lessons Danman! I just watched ur Michelle Mabelle video and this one. Very cool! Thanks for breaking it down for us. As far as Im concerned everyone knocking your guitar is unhappy with their own lives!

[JeffreyCentino97]

Thats a Parker guitar. Lots of Puffery about it. To me, It doesn't look appealing.

[dvd1731]

bet you cant play behind the mask by eric clapton

[baloons4satanists]

your guitar has a poor tone. and looks awful.

[joeakapins]

worlds ugliest guitar and it sounds so awful. GOD~!

[Illyriametal]

never mind it. misheard you. but way to fast. have hard tme folowing you. mostly because you pronounce g and d vey similair.

they sound to much alike

[Illyriametal]

that bend sounds different then when i try it.

[johncarlo218862218]

panget

[Zanpaktou1313]

Thanks

[tcklemon]

it's too high....try to the 7 fret

[leeming08]

nope

[abby4u092009]

wat th hell was tat!! explain it good plz

[fanoftheclyde24]

Sometimes the best way to teach is to keep things simple, this guy does it, and it helped me learn the song, i think he's done his job in that respect.

[theworldofguitars]

come to my page if you want too learn some basic chords

[SuRihtanil]

lol

[DrNoth]

WRONG!!

[pzolsky]

no disrespect to the video poster

but if you cant learn this simple riff by ear....give up now!

[pzolsky]

@pzolsky

i wasnt suggesting the guy in the video cant play it - i mean youtube guitarists

[mooremother]

So you think that everyone should be instantly talented the minute they pick up a guitar. How presumptuous of you. Im currently learning this song on the acoustic guitar with my teacher. Im not that great at picking up songs by ear but once I have musical notation in front of me I'm pretty good. So going by your advice I should give up. What gives you the right to discourage people from learning the guitar like this? How dare you!

To everyone whose learning the guitar keep up the good work!!!

[pzolsky]

if you're learning on accoustic why are you learning the lead guitar riff?

...unless you didnt read my comment correctly, which is standard on youtube

[mooremother]

I'm learning the riff as an intro it works just as well on the acoustic. Seeing as I play for my own pleasure it makes the song more interesting to play.

My main annoyance here is that your descouraging people for no reason. So what if they can pick it up by ear what does it matter.

[pzolsky]

i was actually encouraging people to learn to play by ear

the notes are all there, listen and play them, you'll get alot more pleasure from playing

and if you cant, then no offence, but you dont have an ear for music

[pzolsky]

on a more constructive note as a tip, this is in the key of G. You teacher should have taught you the scale of G major which this riff all fits into.

my original comments however werent meant for acoustic players but more for wannabe clapton style electric players (as per the guy on the video playing an electric )

getting near that level within a lifetime you need to start developing an 'ear' asap

[alejandrostarr]

Dude! Not all people are born with this 'ear' you say... but guitar is for everyone and everyone who wishes to play and has the will to learn can be delighted in learning this beautiful instrument....

I don't discourage the guys like the video poster, even if they don't have the best techniques or surprising musical skills they do have one thing: they contribute and share their learned skills, and sharing that is what leads this world to a better place....

being a bossy know-it-all doesn't...

[pzolsky]

i was giving advice not bossing people

how can a few comments on youtube be construed as bossiness?

and it is possible develope an ear over timeand to recreate what you hear without needing tabs. you dont need to be born with that talent, it can be devloped like learning a language so go and do a bit more research on the subject before spouting

[Calinn86]

the guy plays decent, so cut the crap..

[FranciscoPS3]

shut up motherfuckers he is only trying to help

people can be so mean --'

[giovannipasinetti]

you can't paly

[juggalo36forlife]

you can't spell, we all have our faults

[WataboutBob101]

parker fly?

[rickhattonfan007]

O yes indeed,this is the correct way to play this song......if you want it to sound real shitty,n that fansy pansy ass guitar is 1 ugly mother.......thanks

[thecornpops09]

wow thats a expensive ass guitar like 10,000 on musicians friend

[NotSoUniversal]

thats an ugly ass guitar too....

[pavkataivanov131021]

delete this video ... : )

[oribina]

dude... lurn how to play it.. call me.... and then i will tell u if u can teach it

[brojkiller]

i totally suck at guitar, wait i know.... i think ill become a guitar teacher!

[fendertelecaster1234]

thats to high it goes 10 bend up then to 8 on b back to 10

then 10 bend up then to 8 on b string then 9th fret on g

then 10 bend up then 8th fret b string then back to ten slide up to 12th fret then 8th on high e string then 10th fret slide up right away to 12th then back to 10th fret e string

[stratdoc]

You are missing the Harrison/Clapton naughty chord 200230 that follows the G. You might get layed more often..then again not until you stop rolling your head around like that!

[sensai61]

lol thats what the chord is called? it sounds smexy

[ZildjianROX]

your guitar looks like.......

[marc0mu]

... an expensive Parker.

[baseballdude3430]

if anyone needs a lesson to figure out this song....wow

[RandyOrtonRK0]

bad tabs bade name (its a lick)

and damn stop moveing ur face like that

[tianaice77]

lol funky guitar MI HAO

[Slash950]

wrong tabs

[thomaspl007]

well, this tabs are not wrong, If you know you can play any song in many diiferent ways. this one you can play as he did GDCD or in many different ways, just choose what the best you like, dont say its wrong :)

[NGmetalix]

Your guitar sounds like the japanese shamisen.

[maikyjoe]

hahah your right about that

[MasterGodfather97]

its a lick not a riff

[bluedaddy23]

Good intro, but the chords would sound better if you picked them apeggio and with some chorus. BTW how do you like the Parker (nite fly)? is it?

[cannedbread01]

nice parker

[iaziian]

your guitar = gay

[ANDRIS62]

sounds like

balalaika!Most of teachers on youtube have to learn a lot before teaching!Sorry!

[spords]

Great lesson. Some idiot commenters.

[canuckaholic91]

some of you people need to chill a bit. it's just a way to play it, not the exact version. i personally find playing it on 12th-15th frets on third better because it has a mellower tone than playing it on 2nd string

but yeh, your guitar didn't sound all too great tho unfortunately, especially the last two strings

[howlrunner13]

Why does everyone on Youtube play it on the 14-16th frets when Clapton clearly plays it on the 7-10th frets?

[dash1988]

that guitar is so ugly it will haunt my dreams till the day i die

[cuteguyyonatan]

well guess wat dash1988 you so ugly you had to go trick or treating over the phone that guitar is cool its beeter then youll ever be

[dash1988]

considering i have a 62 tobacco sunburst strat and a 61gibson custom sg i dont think that it is better then il ever be and who calls his own name cute guy u complete freak

[pancakekiller91]

I agree with dash, that guitar is ugly as fuck and cuteguy, that was one of the dumbest comment replies I have yet to see on youtube.

[Steven205]

I love the look of the parker! O.o More of a modern look to it.

[schnurr31]

haha. fuck, i want a '62 strat so bad

[obamaisanalien]

Why not just:

ur so ugly that you can go trick and treating without a mask ?

guitar is so gay.

[d6g007]

i love how some people are so jealous that because some people are amazing at guitar but others like you suck. get a life and stop hating on someone trying to help people out. if you dont like guitar then what the heck? why even watch this?

[grafpantoffel93]

why the fuck watch a guitar video then u fucking moron,

bet u look like shit in real life

[cansozeri78]

@dash1988 lol :)))))

[182BCaR182]

simply just to high on the neck man

[utongrag]

sorry dude but your murded that song!... completly killed it

sorry but its the truth, before you make this video please like listen to the song and get your guitar as closest sounding as his, becdause your sounded NASTYYY...

[o0JUDAS0o]

can you teach these lousy fucks how to improvise and make their own music?

[annatom2]

most of it should take place on the second bottom string around the 9th fret i think not the 12 th fret 4th string it does not sound beautiful

[k1ll3ry4sh4]

Fucking parker... XD

[k1ll3ry4sh4]

Ugly guitar XD

[wreckerofsteel]

Hell yeah :D

[Smallfrie1996]

@k1ll3ry4sh4 and you forgot there is no sustain and use way lighter strings or stretch them more it sounds like ur playing a toy guitar

[private1456higa]

Dude!why does everyone play it like that!? the bigening is good , but then at tha part exactly 1:21 , its not like that , I examined clapton's hand in all of his youtube live performances, i dont think its like this

[Jordy1707]

ur playin it wrong

[drinker02]

tanks dude i got it in a hour hehehe ,..really thanks

[BubbaJoeJackJon]

thanks man

always wanted to learn how to play it

[MrBenn93]

Hate To Say It but i agree , sounds crappy , you should play around with your amp and pickup selection , its way to bright and trebley . and you need more sustain .

[shankelmo16]

yea, you have no tone. your bending the a whole when it should be about half

[coolkat1006]

weak tone

[hampycalc]

why would you not play this on an acoustic?

[dodidodafna]

you are one of worsts guitar players i have ever heared. this is an amazing song and you are making it ugly, please stop!

[VoNdTiBeInEt]

du er stygg

[68W2M072]

Love all the stupid comments about how music looks rather than sounds..

Good instruction, thanks man.

[faiziiiiii]

the ugliest guitar ever made,ugliest series

[CORRIGEEN71]

are you having a laugh who the fuck wants to learn this song

[scrumpymanjack]

Seriously nasty guitar, dude

[flaxys112]

Have you any idea what that guitar can do? It can sound like 25 different instruments and it can go into sustainiac mode. It costs like 6000-7000 $.... It rocks :D

[scrumpymanjack]

Hi, no. The truth is that I have no idea what it's called or what it can do. I just think it looks horrible. That super thin headstock, that awkward angle and bit cropping out at the top of the body? I know Im being superficial but you gotta hate it, no?

[thesnukesband]

what the name?

[flaxys112]

i cant really remember it.... Fly something

[friedem0n2004]

Parker Fly

[jacobrowan]

good job and all but theres an easier/ better sounding way to play the solo it starts on the 7th fret go look it up

[suresh54]

nice.....sounds beautiful..

[alloyvistaeatswafer]

what a  spaz guitar

[NiallMossie14]

Good an all but i spent 3 years learning guitar by okay now 14th D an 12th E . . write it dwn man its d reason i quit guitar an am learning off the internet

[sasecapuera]

dude that solo suck's ,maaaaaaan....but the chords are ok

[yaboolagins]

yeah dude great job I have to agree with most everyone else that a different tone would sound a lot better

[LOVELIFE54]

Great Job , I Appreciate The Help !! Thanks .

[himynameisdan2008]

This is a good lesson, you play well, but i concur with everyone else commenting. That tone sounds like ass.

[ukchris64]

Man that was a good lesson, just the way I have been taught before, seesm some have various ways to play this song

[AndreYThERocKer]

5 stars man, it was very helpful;)

[buckbuck666]

o gosh not to be mean but those parker flys have a harsh tone dont they maybe u could buy a chorus peddle or somethin dude if you cant afford a decent strat peace bro =0

[ROBEEAQUIN0]

not to be mean, but you spelled "pedal" wrong.

[bassistck24]

not to be mean but "amen"!

[TinaPatriciaJoan]

lol

[yaboolagins]

who gives a fuck its the internet, no one gives a shit! God damn it!

[ROBEEAQUIN0]

obviously, some people do. haha.

[yaboolagins]

alright good point

[SomethingNewWithYou]

roll some treble off and add more mid/bass and then turn up your reverb.. it will help trust me tone is your friend

[gidomation]

thanks

[Aviii]

good playing but god i hate parkers

[harleymike55]

don't know if it's the parker or your amp,but,that is the worse tone i have ever heard.

[daddygreg1]

you are really bad

[theshesy]

This Clean is the worst Ive heard in my life!

I thought Parkers are nice before watching it...

[Gobbeldigook]

Shred it dude.

[everfree81]

omg... he's ruining the song ...

I know it's like tutorial for beginners...

but he's playing a wonderful & romantic song in very dry way...

[gitarmandan15]

nice guitar nice choice of song but ur playing it allllllll wrong....

[clownonstrat]

Wrong fret? Wrong key? What's a fret? That's something I do when I did not do my homework. Key is something the strange man at my house uses to lock me in a room in the dark for months at a time. Say, did you know that Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings? It's amazing what you learn on the internet!

[waaha13]

90% of that song is tone

and your tone sounds like azz

[GRMLASGS]

Is there tabs for this lesson?

[lubu525]

i prefer sliding to the next fret instead of bending but good work anyway

[sneakyfly]

so simple, but o so good :o

[rockadudeldu]

thx now i can play it

[Malosovich]

Whilst this song made me realise how easy the song was, I actually found it easier to just play around and work it out myself.

[allan76er]

Nice one. Well done.

[guitar453]

i know this song but i agree with eyessen

[Eyeseen]

I know this song, but sorry i don't think i could have learned how to play it from the video.

thx for the effort though.

[bddb9]

the parker fly man i love that guitar

[fenderprodigy2000]

yeah im adam...im just trying to teach the song...im not really putting any time into if its E or Eb or the sound. Its a little practice amp im playing out of. video is strictly meant to learn the song

[mpdigby]

are you in you bathroom?

[ninjasnipe]

ROFLAMO

[stickyfingaz7354]

Well said MARZOSIRUS.....Nice vid man

[kylemaximo]

What Did the prostitute say to the guitar player? Give me back my G - String!!

[kurotenshi55]

um... we can't really see what strings your hitting at it's too far away

[thenewmush]

Thats why he's saying them

[rautibo]

shit parker

[MARZOSIRUS]

Arrangements are made to compliment the singer. It does not matter as long as it sounds good. Do you think Eric Clapton cares whether someone else plays it on different frets? Or in a different key. The reason Clapton has it in a certain key is because it compliments his voice the best. Think about it people before you make idiot comments like "its played in a different key or on a different fret"

[papapope13]

sounds great.... but.....this is played in the 8th and 10th fret, but yours sounds good. The chords are right.

[spartan070sarge]

This isn't how Eric plays it, but it still gets the job done I guess.

[epiphone147]

12th fret sounds a little shot, try adjusting your truss rod.

[kroag]

roflmao. sounds good to me, he obviously has tuned his neck to EC's, cause its sounds right to me.

[Sugarcult89]

haha G String!!:P

[bddb9]

actually its to high if you watch clapton play it he is playing it on 10 and 12

[artiemas]

1.) Too fast

2.) Too low on the frets, try 14 to o16 and the same finger pattern

3.) On the second riff in the beginning, he bends twice.

[billlyh]

not bad.

[chaindaddy1]

Sungha Jung is the best of the best this kid rules

[mimifly267]

i agree..he's my idol

[la1boca1del1lobo]

x q mierda no se van a opinar a otra parte...

esto es para los q kieren aprender... no para los q se vienen a hacer los q saben...

porfavor CIERREN EL OJET*...

muy copado el video!

this is for people who want to learn...

not for stupids who thinks that knows everithing....

plis... SHUT UP ¬¬

excelent video

[peckcrai]

you missed a few noteds on the main riff
