About this riff
The main riff is built on a D-based blues-scale line doubled by guitar and bass, moving in parallel and shifting up a fourth for the second phrase, which makes it a great study in playing a hook in unison with the bassist. It sits low on the neck and repeats, so it's very approachable for beginners while teaching feel, timing against Ginger Baker's tom-heavy groove, and how a simple motif can carry a whole song. The lead solo is more demanding, relying on major-pentatonic phrasing and Clapton's 'woman tone' articulation to stand out.
Did you know?
For the guitar solo Clapton played through the neck pickup with the volume up and tone rolled off to produce his famous 'woman tone', a smooth, dark, singing sound. Rather than a straight blues line, he quoted the opening melody of the pop standard 'Blue Moon', using its major pentatonic scale to contrast with the riff's blues scale. The guitar he used has been identified as his 1964 Gibson SG known as 'the Fool'.
