Hey, I recognize this Riff, but not from Eric Clapton, its from Billy Gibbons (ZZ TOP)

from the song, Well Im bad...Im nation wide etc....

All you have to do is slow it down and change up the Riff just a little and you have the Intro to the song...

I have never heard Clapton play like this, but perhaps I am not that familiar with Clapton as I am ZZ top !!!!

yeah bro youre right, its not clapton, im pretty much his #1 fan, but none the less, its a good lick to try to develope some kind of aggression in the blues playing.

@ohyescesc you have to smile at people who are negative for absolutely no reason. It is supposed to be a Clapton STYLE lick, that's all. And of course easy enough for a "car wash" rock star wannabe to understand and play. <<<<<

Sounds just like Clapton, note for note. What are you guys hearing?

[MrMattTheKnife]

You don't have his vibrato down at all. You need to work on that.

@WhiteTrashFarmer it's actually a freddie king style lick who clapton was majorly influenced by and whom he covered(hideaway). and of course billy was no doubt influenced by freddie as well.

@ohyescesc Whether you think it sounds like Clapton or not, this dude ain't no idiot. There's always something to learn in his vids, he knows his way around a guitar neck!
