Classical Gas
|
I put off learning this song for quite a few years as I knew it would be an undertaking. I started teaching it to a lesson a few years back but unfortunately he gave up on the it. I had a request for it again in early April 2007, this time from a number of students so I finally tackled it head on and finished it in a few short weeks. Surprisingly enough it wasn't as difficult as I expected. To make this song easier to learn you have to practice it in smaller sections (phrases). Of course it helps if you have already done some finger picking previously. I thought it would be a good idea to video record a walk through on the song, so here it is! To the right is the original transcript of the song. You may want to use this because the video makes reference to it all the time. The Tablature below is a tidied up version (looks pretty but it exactly the same). I have seen this titled on the Net as "Eric Clapton - Classical Gas" but I cannot verify that it is him playing it. Anyway it is a great version! |
