  • Wonderful Tonight #HL 702056
    FENDER PLAYERS CLUB ERIC CLAPTON Music from the book: THE ERIC CLAPTON BOOK Easy Guitar Wonderful Tonight #HL 702056. Book $17.95 (US). Read more... Easy Guitar Arrangement Words and Music by Eric Clapton Copyright © 1977 by Eric Patrick Clapton All Rights for the U.S. Administered by Unichappell Music Inc. International Copyright Secured All Rights Reserved Eric Clapton's laid-back classic "Wonderful Tonight" is from his hit 1977 album, Slowhand, and was written in just a few hours as he waited for his wife to make up her mind about which dress to wear for a party. The song opens with its hook - the string-bending soulful guitar part in the first four measures - and then moves into the verse. However, since this is a beginner lesson, we'll just stick with the strumming, and show you a simplified version of the chords, and show you how to work the strumming pattern. As you progress as a guitarist, you can learn the full version - and in fact, you might be able to figure it out by listening to Clapton's recording and playing along. The Intro and Verse to this song use just four chords: G, C, D and Em (E minor). Those first three major chords are some of the most commonly used in rock music, and the minor chord, Em, gives the song that wistful feeling that leads into the melody's resolution. G D C Em 21 3 132 32 1 12 Here is the strumming pattern to use for this song. In this diagram, the means "downstroke," and the means "upstroke." Strum down for the downstroke, and up for the upstroke.
