a quick video about how to play the electric guitar riff for "Layla", by Eric Clapton. This is not a tutorial for the whole song, keep that in mind.

  • 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!

    :)
