Subject: Bell Bottom Blues Lick
OK, this is my first attempt at posting something, so I figured that I'd
start easy. This is the signature lick that Clapton does in Bell Bottom
Blues on the album "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs," by Derek and
the Dominos. There are actually three guitars in this song, one rhythm,
and two lead.
Guitar 1, rhythm:
F F G
E------------------------------------------------I
B----1--------------1---------3------------------I
G----2--------------2---------4------------------I
D----3--------------3---------5------------------I
A----3--------------3---------5------------------I
E----1--------------1---------3------------------I
Guitar 2, Lead 1:
E--13----------------------10--------------------I
B-----13-------11---------------11vib------------I
G------------------12^full-----------------------I
D------------------------------------------------I
A------------------------------------------------I
E------------------------------------------------I
Guitar 3, Lead 2:
E--13-13-------11--------------------------------I
B--13-13-------11----------13--------------------I
G------------------12^full&release(12)----(12)--I <- Slide down
D------------------------------------------------I
A------------------------------------------------I
E------------------------------------------------I
And there it is. I don't have the time to post the solo now, but most
of it uses these notes, with a few others, along with pinch harmonics.
Good Luck with this great song. If you have questions, feel free to

Bell Bottom Blues - Eric Clapton
Eric Clapton - Bell Bottom Blues (cover) Bell Bottom Blues was written by Eric Clapton and performed by Derek and the Dominos; recorded 1970. The track is possibly the second best known cut from the album, surpassed only by the famous title track, "Layla". This song is said to be written for Pattie Boyd after she requested him to get her a pair of bell bottom blue jeans from the USA. As alway, my cover is simply a strummed version and the singing is very weak, but it is what it is. I learned ...
