This is a fantastic lesson. Well worth the time I'll to invest to work through each bit. IMHO, one of your best yet. Thank you so much. I have been HUNTNG for a lesson on this song. Won't be an overnight learn, but so worth it.
Hi there Jon I am after a lesson on a Howling Wolf song called "Do the Do" can you help. Nice Aussie guitar you have there, Maton great Australian guitars ask Tommy Emanuel.
I wonder if Clapton actually played this on the Blind Faith album, or if it was Steve Winwood? I say that because Clapton's fingerstyle technique, for example on the Unplugged album, is so different from the more traditional Travis-style arrangement here.
I highly suggest, if you haven’t already seen it, to find the version where Steve is playing the song sitting basically in his fireplace(because it gives such great acoustics).
Pretty sure there's another nylon lead melodic line played over this rhythm progression. Of course, the real challenge is putting a vocal on that does SOME justice to Winwood's iconic vocal
Sadly as usual another Clapton obsessed man the song was written by and on the album played by a guy called Steve winwood..you probably haven't heard of him
What a snarky comment. Yes It's a Winwood song, but Clapton is most certainly playing the guitar with Blind Faith. There is a lovely solo Winwood strummed version in front of à fireplace, solo acoustic

Jon BRAVO - one couldn’t teach a better lesson! 👏👏👏
What a great song and the lesson is one of the best I’ve seen, covering the finger style approach for a change - thanks!
Great lesson. The best explanation and demo of how to play this song fingerstyle.
I fell in love with this song when I heard the version from the Clapton-Winwood tour. Of course, Winwood’s vocals are incomparable.

Well done, thank you.

Yes I suspect it was Steve Winwood playing it as he wrote it.
The rhythm part is Winwood with the lead interwoven over top by Clapton. Together their work on this song is pure magic.

Thanks Mr. Maclennan 😂
That acoustic sounds incredible! What kind of acoustic is that? Thanks. Great lesson.
Maton. Made in Australia, very popular with Australian players. Tommy Emmanuel plays them.
This is a Blind Faith song written by Steve Winwood
“Fingers are the perfect plectrum.” (Eric Clapton)
ive seen fire, ive seen rain...
Winwood's song mate
Still not sure why it has to be in drop D tuning.
To get a full sound on the D chords by playing all six strings
It is even done a full step Down,so it can be sung easily
Watch Steve Winwood play it on acoustic sitting by the fire. His guitar is tuned CGCFAD.
8:30
Feeding AL Gore rhythm
Sadly as usual another Clapton obsessed man the song was written by and on the album played by a guy called Steve winwood..you probably haven't heard of him
You should have more blind faith
Woah! Your arrogance is breathtaking 😂
Maybe he is right, I have seen Steve play this several times on guitar.
It's by blind faith and Clapton did actually play on the album stevewinwood wrote the song get it right this is Clapton playing
What a snarky comment. Yes It's a Winwood song, but Clapton is most certainly playing the guitar with Blind Faith. There is a lovely solo Winwood strummed version in front of à fireplace, solo acoustic
Too fast......slow down
You talk so much
Doesnt sound right
you talk too much
Very good job however, you should be referencing Steve Winwood not Clapton.
