To me, Clapton is at a level Banamasa will never reach. If you listen carefully, Banamasa simply plays as many "licks" as possible with no connecting musical story. Clapton on the other hand, is telling a story with his notes. So clear to me. It's kinda like Johnny Winter vs B.B. King. Winter plays way more, but King plays the better notes. It's the difference between being an instrumentalist and a musician.
While this song does support your theory, If you listen to Bonamassa's original stuff and ever his version of Rather Go Blind with Beth Hart, I think Joe can and does hit that higher level you speak of. That said, in this song, with my Stratocaster in hand, I recognized one of the licks Bonamassa played as a lick from Clapton's version of this song on the Layla album......which is a lick that Clapton lifted from Albert King and King used in many of his songs.
Hey Henry, I’m glad to say, this is one of the best guitar videos out there. You have chosen the perfect performance from the internet to get some inspiration and cool licks from. Very well done! Aron :)
Cool lesson. I've been working on this song for a long time. This is the 3rd version so far. Really cool that you put the solos in. Don't know why but I have a hard time with soloing on this tune. The intro solo in the last waltz version is another great version. Thanks for the lesson.
'Further on up the road' was writen by Joe Medwick and first recorded by Bobbie 'Blue' Bland in 1957, Pat Hare taking the guitar part, great version and really worth a listen and a must if you're studying the song and arrangement.
Great stuff Henry! Love your breakdowns…I actually prefer Clapton’s tone…don’t get me wrong Bonamassa is amazing but I just love the Clapton sound and lines.
Hello Henry, I really like. Just one thing, I never catch the same sound. Maybe It would be nice to introduce the use of effect pedal or not and/or amp adjustments for a minute before starting. Many thanks for your tutorial’s en studies.
I'm assuming this is the Dominant scale but I cant work something out; If this is mixing the Major and the Minor why is the flat 6 (D#, 4th fret on the B string) not in there?
I agree and maybe just sitting in for a song(di he do any more?) may be a diadvantage on getting it together. He did look a little uncomfortable. Maybe he was't feeling well.
I really enjoy all of your lessons, and the little trivia that you will sprinkle your videos with that bring them to life, and not just a dry music lesson. Plus Super Simple Guitar is not really true for you. A lot of people may be able to play the licks you teach, but you have a natural feel that makes even one not sound great. I love your tone also. I noticed how like me you loved Joes tone vs Eric. That is something i never understood about Clapton. When he was with the Bluesbreakers he had killer tone with his Les Paul through his Marshal, and even with Cream with his S.G. through Marshal amps. Once he started playing strats, he has that thin Fender tone. But what do i know every time I went to buy a Gibsson S.G. I would wind up with a strat. I saw even you used a strat for this. There must be something about a strat that keeps luring guitarists to it. You sound great with a strat, and your tone would hold up against Joes Gibson tone. Because like Clapton you play from your soul with super bends and taste, and this is in a lesson. Awesome ,and very inspiring guitarist Henry. Thank you for all your wondeful videos.
@@SouthernSierra56 What's your point. Nvm. I realized you aren't too sharp. A bit flat I might add. That was in the key of C as in Cya later. But better to never C ya.
I've jammed with the vid and the groove is nice, I honestly blew both off just improvising around with my own tone which is similar but better.......fact!
@@henryolsenguitar I'm not a hater or a fan of either guy and I wish them both peace, I guess I got a bit tired of having both of them being on self made ego thrones being thrust into my own playing style by others eventually. There are players that I'm moved by of course.
Is the reason you don't include all octaves of the 2, the 3, and the 6th is to not have to go out of positon(for instance the 6th doesn't occur til the B string)?
And bonnamasa at next level? Common he’s in full flight. Clapton walked on cold for one song. If he gave Clapton 3 songs he could have taken over the rest of the show. Don’t get me wrong Bonamassa is a great player, but he’s off pace and running out of time to reach the level Clapton achieve. Like Chester Brunett said, “these boys know music, but the don’t know life”
Pleeeeez,! Bonamassa stands on Clapton's shoulders (which he readily admits), but he can do things Clapton never even imagined! The music market in the '60s and '70s compared to 2000s might as well be in differential universes!
@@carlwilliams6977 Claptons career is at the top, period. The ONLY one that could have challenged it would have been Hendrix if he lived a full life. Just the unplugged album alone changed the music world. I can hardly wait for Bonamassa to go acoustic, bet that will get a ton of radio play…
@@frankstephenson1746 This kind of Babel is to be expected when someone challenges "God". You're living in a bygone era my friend. I was there too. However, I have to face the fact that Janice wasn't the best voice I've ever heard, Hendrix was innovative, and one of a kind. However, As one might expect his playing with "erratic" at times. Clapton isn't "God", and Bonamassa has had the advantage of building off both of them, and being sober!
@@carlwilliams6977 first off I’m not babeling, I never said Clapton was god. I said he had an unrivalled career. And sobriety is no advantage in the arts, I’d say it’s a handicap considering the ratio of drug and alcohol success vs. sober acts that have done anything in the music business.
I personally cant stand joes voice (sounds fake) and his extra crafty solos lose me on the feel of the song. He played tastefully here and was much better imho. Clapton is god!

Hello Aron, Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate it 😄
Amazing! Thank you so much Henry, i really love your Clapton lessons.
You left out Claptons entry into the lead.....KILLER!!!
Cool lesson. I've been working on this song for a long time. This is the 3rd version so far. Really cool that you put the solos in. Don't know why but I have a hard time with soloing on this tune. The intro solo in the last waltz version is another great version. Thanks for the lesson.
Hard time here too Mike. These licks aren't intuative to me.

Clapton's a joke
@@tm1180 you are
Excellent, Henry.
Many thanks.
This is really good. And free tab on your site. Subscribed.
TONE? Clapton's playing a Strat thru a 40w tweed, Joe's playing a Les Paul thru a Marshall 100w Jubilee !
Great video. Thank you so much! Have followed Joe from his early beginnings with Bloodline and any guitarist worth his salt loves Eric.
Brilliant! I’ll be learning those licks and tricks. One of my favourite Clapton songs that I know from his EC Was Here album.
Great stuff Henry! Love your breakdowns…I actually prefer Clapton’s tone…don’t get me wrong Bonamassa is amazing but I just love the Clapton sound and lines.

I just love this song and the music..
Thank you! ❤️
this is good how about clapton and frampton doing while my guitar gently weeps
Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!
Great analysis on further. Love this tune. Who doesn't?
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
I'm assuming this is the Dominant scale but I cant work something out; If this is mixing the Major and the Minor why is the flat 6 (D#, 4th fret on the B string) not in there?
I dont Eric was at all uncomfortable,he was not flat out at all,but a great performance by both
I agree and maybe just sitting in for a song(di he do any more?) may be a diadvantage on getting it together. He did look a little uncomfortable. Maybe he was't feeling well.
Clapton asked Bonamassa to keep it fairly simple ie no real guitar duels
Come on. We all know who clapton is. He could have played this from a backrow seat.
So what is the cost to join and get the free
Tab ??? Thanks 🙏
Super.Thank you.

I didnt want to edit the whole thing its Note great, instead of not great. ; )
@@johntiger5 Really appreciate this comment, John! Take care my friend :-)
@@johntiger5 You know the edit would just be one keystroke, right? (In the key of "E")

Needing a lesson on "futher on up the road" is like needing a lesson on "how to chew gum"
Ottimo video, puoi mettere i sottotitoli!?!

Yes Daniel my brother, that is the reason.
Clapton brought an off the shelf strat and tweed twin and that’s it
Comparing tones in this situation is silly
Clapton in recent decades always turns his tone down when he plays with other guitarists, don’t understand why but I hate it.
And bonnamasa at next level?
Common he’s in full flight.
Clapton walked on cold for one song.
If he gave Clapton 3 songs he could have taken over the rest of the show.

Bonamassa doesn't have Clapton’s heart

Clapton needs more highs. He should switch off the humbuckers in favor of single coils. Just kidding. Don't hurt me.
