  • Eric Clapton
    ERIC CLAPTON BIOGRAFIA Eric Patrick Clapton nasceu em 30/03/1945 em Ripley, Inglaterra. Ganhou a sua primeira guitarra aos 13 anos e se interessou pelo Blues americano de artistas como Robert Johnson e Muddy Waters. Apelidado de Slowhand, é considerado um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo. O reconhecimento de Clapton só começou quando entrou no “Yardbirds”, banda inglesa de grande influência que teve o mérito de reunir três dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos em sua formação: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck e Jimmy Page. Apesar do sucesso que o grupo fazia, Clapton não admitia abandonar o Blues e, em sua opinião, o Yardbirds estava seguindo uma direção muito pop. Sai do grupo em 1965, quando John Mayall o convida a juntar-se à sua banda, os “Blues Breakers”. Gravam o álbum “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton”, mas o relacionamento com Mayall não era dos melhores e Clapton deixa o grupo pouco tempo depois. Em 1966, forma os “Cream” com o baixista Jack Bruce e o baterista Ginger Baker. Com a gravação de 4 álbuns (“Fresh Cream”, “Disraeli Gears”, “Wheels Of Fire” e “Goodbye”) e muitos shows em terras norte americanas, os Cream atingiram enorme sucesso e Eric Clapton já era tido como um dos melhores guitarristas da história. A banda separa-se no fim de 1968 devido ao distanciamento entre os membros. Neste mesmo ano, Clapton a convite de seu amigo George Harisson, toca na faixa “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” do White Album dos Beatles. Forma os “Blind Faith” em 1969 com Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker e Rick Grech, que durou por pouco tempo, lançando apenas um album.

  • Wonderful Tonight – Eric Clapton You'll Find Two Overall Guitar Parts in This Song, with One Being the Main Backing
    Wonderful Tonight – Eric Clapton You'll find two overall guitar parts in this song, with one being the main backing (picked out) and one being the lead. This lead isn't so much lead as it is a nice melodic accompaniment to the song itself. Both guitar parts are quite easy in terms of arrangement, so with a few picking points from the lesson video and a few suggested fingerings you should be able to play this one pretty quickly. This is what you'll play for the main guitar during the intro/pre-verse: Here's the verse theme: Notice that it is almost identical to the intro/pre-verse, with the only slight change being at the end on the Dsus2. You walk on the A string with a 0 – 2. That will indicate to you that the next chord is going to be a C chord. The C chord starts the chorus: There aren't many variations here, but the video lesson will help you if you have trouble. After this you'll play the same intro theme you played earlier, but just one time through using the G6 | Dsus2 | C | Dsus2 from earlier: You'll then have another verse, which is identical the verse you played earlier. Up next is another chorus, but it's just slightly different at the end. Notice the change here takes place in the last two measures, where you hold the G chord out and then do the same walk on the A string from 0 – 2. As mentioned earlier, this will indicate you are going to a C chord.

    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.

Du Bois' theory of double consciousness, can be taken on by those who are White. I analyze songs both written and covered by Eric Clapton, to examine if elements of double consciousness are in his music. Furthermore, I analyze album covers that have Clapton's image on them, looking for characteristics of physical Blackness. My fmdings reveal that Eric Clapton does take on aspects of double consciousness, through his music, and facets of physical Blackness.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
