A good hook isn’t just something that you find during the chorus of a song. It’s one thing to be able to play a cool lick but it’s another thing to take that small idea and expand it and fill out an entire 20 seconds of a song in a meaningful way that the listener can latch on to – something that they’re going to remember. The third thing you can learn is the elements of phrasing. Clapton is a master of this and that’s one of the reasons why we’re analyzing his work – to figure out how to get this into our own playing! You need to work on your technique in order to make sure you nail that tone. When you’re bending, you’re going between the frets, and you’re in control of the pitch, just like a singer, or a violinist. You’ll press a note and the fret will ensure that that note is in tune.

With those in mind, we learn the lick, break it all down and figure out how to practice those embellishments. It also combines a band with a pull off which is a great way to move into intermediate territory with lead guitar.

This legendary riff contains three essential things it can teach us that will make you a better lead guitar player.
