LG3 - Player Study 1 - Clapton Heavy Blues in E - no guitars

We'll learn a Cream era Clapton style 12 bar solo piece where we play rhythm and lead at the same time. This piece combines everything we've looked at about arpeggios so far alongside all the hallmarks of Slowhand himself.

Note the use of dominant 7th arpeggio notes in the lead parts, and how these change to match each chord.
