3 Great Clapton Licks | Tim Pierce | Guitar Lesson | How To Play

Here's a new lesson video, teaching the first three phrases from Clapton's "have you ever loved a woman" on the "Layla" double  LP.
The second phrase, in particular, is one of my lifetime favorites...

Thanks for your support! Tim

People trying to teach lessons should take lessons from this guy. Not too fast, not too slow, and friendly to boot. He knows it so inside and out he gives an amazing lesson and he's so cool about it. It's like you're in the room with him. I generally know these licks, and the notes involved, but he gives us the phrasing which is the key ingredient in all of it. Thanks Tim, stay rad.

Excellent! No fuss, no extraneous nonsense. Just teach the licks. Love it.

[keithshwalbe]

Thank you Tim. You enrich our lives. Bless you. You have the great gift of being a natural teacher. Sharing your joy in the subject you teach.

[biffdorkinton]

One of the best teachers around. Excellent.

[ChuckMarteau]

Every essential E.C. lick is in the "Beano" album. The second lick is my favorite and unmistakingly one of Eric's favorite. Good lesson!

[kenmaryfazio]

I LOVE the "Have you ever loved a woman" track on the Layla album. My absolute favorite. Thank you

[hermano]

I learned that opening lick, too, Tim. Positively the best solo from Eric’s Stratocaster catalogue.

[mitchreno]

My favorite Clapton lick also. Thanks.

Tim, I've watched a number of your videos and I love the conscientious way you play and teach. There is a quality that is helpful when I'm in a slump or just am curious about the subject. Thank you for taking the time to offer your experience through your videos. I love that second lick.

Bending up from the second string to the root note was definitely a breakthrough moment for me, I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before but now so many blues licks make a lot more sense. Great video as always!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE YOUR EXPERTISE SO THAT WE CAN also PLAY THE INTRO to "HAVE YOU EVER", ..., B/C HEARING PEOPLE PLAY cover along with THE SONG DOES NOT TEACH ME ANYTHING. Thanks especially for the nuances, and the details, really appreciated. Thank heaven for teachers !

[frankgrocholski]

Always great lessons, thank you Tim!!

[bedepe]

mr. pierce, your vibrato is awesome, respect

[ericsantiago]

I'm going to direct this one and get every single part of the color I here that I can. Thank you. Cool lick.

[UKPete]

I've been waiting for just this kind of lesson, Thanks!!!

Tim, Wonderful Job of doing " Have you ever loved a woman", Derek and the Dominoes licks. Love that song and love you style.

[christophergowin]

Great job Tim. Love your teaching method and your insight! Thanks!

[stevewhitesell]

I discovered that first lick in your demo by accident forty plus years ago. Man I thought I discovered God. Lol. It still flies from my fingers to this day in one form or another quite often. Keep up the great vids. You're offering an invaluable service to us longtime guitar hacks ;)

[kirkdavenport]

Three. Just three. And the illusion is complete. This is pro music.
