Eric Clapton Blues Guitar Lesson: Turnaround Lick

Today I’m going to show you a Blues Guitar lick in the style of Eric Clapton, that can be used over the turnaround section of a 12 bar blues in the key of B.

This lick is similar to one Eric played on “Have You Ever Loved a Woman” from Live at the Fillmore. Eric uses some really cool bends and phrases that I’m sure he got from BB and Freddie King. His choice of notes is always tasty and full of emotion.

His renditions of “Have You Ever Loved a Woman” are simply amazing. They are all a little different and you can learn a lot from each version. In particular the EC Was Here version is really cool.

A Facebook Fan of Learning Guitar Now had suggested that one, which I had never heard before. Needless to say it’s awesome.
