This is one of those classic Eric Clapton rock riffs from his Journeyman album back in 1989, and it showcases 2 important things…
One, of course, is the technique involved in the slide between the start and the middle and the end of the riff. This is something you just *have* to be able to execute easily and often…
Second is the timing. Most students struggle to breakdown 1/16th notes and count them, so take your time with this and dig into the syncopation of the riff. Without it, I can pretty much guarantee it’ll sound pretty bad
