Thanks for thinking of beginners with your lessons. As a rank beginner, 2 weeks, just starting out, you're making it easy for us to play songs we like, without all the complicated fingering etc. Keep on posting!
I can't quite figure out what you're doing with your left hand whilst playing the example at the start. Youre holding the chords, sort of, but you're moving. Is that some sort of technique? Your playing sounds way better than my own, and I figured it may have something to do with my guitar ringing. Thanks a lot for the lesson/tutorial! I'm working on your 'the first cut is the deepest' right now! Cheers!
to all the white morons out there...that do not know blues was invented by the black man and it evolved through him as well.....clapton was a fan of muddy waters and learnt most of what he plays through listening to him....hows that!
ur absolutely right, but it seems like after hendrix died they all but abandoned it, buddy guy, bb king, robert cray aside, blues have become more of a white genre now, which is a shame, because as you said, it was started as a mainly black musical genre. Really wish more young african americans would expose themselves back to real music and less of the rap culture as a whole. Glad to see FourThreeStudios has not lost his appreciation for it.

im normally racist. but not towards black skinned 'people' just niggers. this guy is obviously alright because his hands are busy enough with that guitar to be throwing around gang signs. see what im saying?
everyone who posts these useless racist comments is a terrible person im sorry. this person has posted a video helping people play basic guitar, who cares what color he is. open your eyes morons
for you to completely ignore the logic of what I just said and post a reply like that displays a level of ineptitude that borders on the imbecilic so i'm going to say this very slowly lest you not understand....go and read a book and find something worthwhile to do with your time and, by extension, your life you worthless little shit.
man are there some assholes here or what. I think that everyone was at this point at some time in their guitar playing career, and i KNOW that we all need some sort of guidance to make it to the next level (whether that's listening to CDs, online lessons, books). So don't knock the fact that this guy is trying to help the beginners out there.
Execelent Good job on those vocals too,I love this song when I was a kid I stayed at My Grannys and found My Uncles Bo Diddley albums and listened to this song all the time Heck Yeah Keep on jammin'
I think Crabman's videos are great... I'm an absolute beginner - still learning chords. As I learn, I can watch this and apply. It's a slow process when you're starting out and his stuff is very helpful. Thank you dude. Keep putting beginner stuff out here for us. Know that not everyone learns the same way, just as I'm finding out that different people play the same stuff different ways. It all helps.
I don't understand how can this video be called "lesson". Anyone who can play chords, don't need this "lesson". Anyone who cannot play chords, must learn them before to play a song.
these ppl are as-holes... im a little past this point myself, but thnx for taking the time out of your day to help some other ppl along ... i teach ppl the simplest songs, to keep them interested in playing. "Theory" and structure and boring practice make ppl not want to keep up with it.. if you can play an actual song, it helps. Keep up the good work my dude, and again dont let the idiots deter you from helping others come along with their playing!
these chords are for kids 10 years old..this is what you call a lesson.. you gotta be kidding..play something else please not Clapton because he's great
No one can grab his guitar and start with original Clapton. Well, maybe you could(?). For people who have already started and they don't want to play boring exercises from books over and over again, this simplified version can be pretty good fun. So thanks and cheers to the poster for his work, I think many starting guitarist appreciate this...
I'm actually not, but I remember my start very well and I've sent this one to my cousin who's starting right now and he's really liked that. He can do just few chords but he likes blues. He works so hard, does exercises a couple of hours every day, but as a guy who wants to teach some 'real' Clapton, you surely know that it takes some time before you are able to play classics like BYAM in an original version.
well..if your cousin works hard he will be better then anyone.but not learning from this guy.:S..im 20 now..when i was 6 i started classical guitar school.So i now what is good for children.music needs dicipline.:D..
Maybe you think this is just for kids ten years old... I think that only ten years old kid could blame someone, who's willing to provide some useful stuff for starting guitarists!
dudes, this isn't a cover!!! this is a lesson for eager begginer guitar learners so they can have something to play, something they think is cool. i think it's cool,
Hello Experte! I did as you told me and already collected the promised $600 Bonus on Fulltiltpoker com. So far so good but what about further Bonuses? Do you know any more Codes? What if I tell my friends about the JUSTMORE Referral Code that I did use at Fulltiltpoker com?
Hello! Thank you very much for the Lesson.The Way you Show it any one can learn even me.I have a Guitar but don`t know how to play jet . I just know how to sing so this realy Helps me. thank you again and have a great Weekend and take care.Sincerely michaelgavin1 and Ursula
Thanks for your observation jj. However my intention is to give beginners an easy option that they can grasp quickly while playing along with Eric's CD. Fingerpicking and the shuffle rhythm is slightly more advanced than this lesson.
