  1. Boom Boom Clapton did this but the original by John Lee Hooker.

  2. Words

  3. This is what we are aiming for. Whole Thing – 12 bar blues – Notes in E blues Scale

  4. E Minor Pentatonic Scale 2 2 2 3 3 3 This song is based off of the E blues Scale This is the basic scale but you will notice that in the introduction or first part that you play up to the 4th fret of the 3rd string (which is the same note as the 2nd string open that is in the scale. Clapton uses both of these scales. He has recorded this song as a cover of the John Lee Hooker version. I will include 2 versions of this in the following pages. There are also variations to these.

  5. Rest on beat one. Slide up from 2nd to 4th fret to start beat 2. Use your middle finger!!! Then back to 3rd string 4th fret slide down to 3rd string 2nd fret

  6. First 2 measures. Note 2nd measure is just an E and A chord after the E note. Choke the last E chord!

  7. This is very cool. Note that I usually slide up to the Bb in the 1st measure. This is the 3rd note in the measure. Again back to E A E at end.

  8. Here it has moved to A. Measure 6 is A D A. Note that the D is a bit different than you might be used to. Index on 2nd fret 3rd string middle 3rd fret 2nd string and 4th fret 4th string with ring finger. See next slide.

  9. Next 2 are like 3 and 4

  10. Measures 9 and 10 now B to E. See next slide of B fingering.

  11. This is the end. Really cool timing on the last phrase with the ¼ notes on beat 3 and 4. Then the E A E. Next slide is putting it all together. I just really like this tune. I have included after this a couple of variations of this. I can honestly say I have heard quite a large number of versions and everyone seems to put their own little signature to it.

  12. Put it all togethere.

  13. This one uses slightly different chord voicings.

  14. Different hook on odd measures. Also harder chords.

  15. Tie in to Clapton • Eric Clapton listened to and copied many of the blues players from the US. • Listen closely to this and you will hear lots of his styles. • The blues scales and minor pentatonic and signatures of Clapton. • Once you get the swing to this song is sort of plays itself.
