Guitar Lesson - Eric Clapton - Pretending Guitar Solo from 24 Nights

Hi! My name is Amy Mantis. I play guitar, write and sing songs for my band, Amy Mantis and the Space Between, but I also practice maximum enthusiasm for all things guitar/music. And teaching is atop that list.
I hope you find this lesson to be helpful and inspiring.
Thank you for watching!
Yours in music,
Amy

Good effort Amy,, typical of Eric this man can make complex riffs look so simple till you try them yourself, noticed just the other day when he played this live, he and his rythem guitarist changed roles, i.e. Eric played rythem and the rythem guitarist quietly played the lead in the background, then changing roles back when the lead guitar solo parts needed to come to the front, really clever to keep the song sounding strong throughout, and no! I don't think this is cheating, it's call being a world renowned professioal artist.

Thanks! Eric is a master of making complex things sound easy. And he’s also a master of making easy things sound complex.

great job Amy. 24 Nights is Clapton at his peak for me. The 2 solos from Pretending are fire!

[@AmyMantis]

thanks! And I agree that the solos from Pretending are straight fire! I'm a Cream gal at heart but 24 Nights is epic.

[@shivambhatt8617]

I was searching for this solo lesson every month 😂

[@AmyMantis]

Search no more!

[@SiloWayFilms]

Thank you so much for doing this! Yes please do the 2nd solo too. Also the two solos from “Hoodoo Man” on 24 nights would be nice also:)

Hi Amy Thanks for the lesson! I like it when you point out the scales he is using it’s very helpful , thanks. Can you do a lesson on “hello old friend “ by Clapton ,the lead part. Thanks Sean

[@AmyMantis]

You're welcome, Sean! I'm glad you found it helpful! And absolutely. I'm gonna use the live take from the Slow Hand 35th Anniversary album as the original version of the song features a pedal steel guitar for all those tasty lead lines. The theory will be the same though :)

How long have you been playing? Great job!

[@AmyMantis]

Thanks! At the time of this video I had been playing for 18 years or so.
