Before breaking out as a hugely successful solo artist in the 1970s, Eric Clapton was already viewed as a major player in rock & roll through his work with the groups Derek and the Dominos, The Yardbirds, John Mayall's Blues Breakers, and Cream. It was while playing with these acts that Clapton fine-tuned the playing style and guitar skills that would become his trademark. In this easy-to-follow program, instructor Doug Boduch breaks down eight of Clapton's early songs with the aforementioned groups, taking viewers step-by-step through the techniques that Clapton used to create his powerful sound. Songs include: "Cross Road Blues (Crossroads)," "Layla," "All Your Love (I Miss Loving)," "Can't Find My Way Home," "White Room," "I Ain't Got You," "Bell Bottom Blues," and "Sunshine Of Your Love."
