The following is MY rendition of Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight's guitar solos/licks as it almost is on the 24 Nights album. See my post of the chords for this song to see where these things go. Note values(durations) were not included, because I can't figure them out. I just go by feel, and I suggest people listen to the tape/cd and determine how this should sound (and make the appropriate modifications as necessary). Wonderful Tonight By Eric Clapton Guitar theme (can be played 8va higher if you have 24 frets on your guitar, you would start on the 2nd string (B) on the 15th fret and play the same melody): full full full VVV e------------------------------------------------------------------------------ B--------^_-----------------^_---------------^_-------------------------------- G-----14_|-|-12-14-------14_|-|-12--------14_|-|-12-14-12-11------------------- D--12------V----------12------V----14--12------V-------------14-12-12---------- A------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------------------------------ full full full 1/2 VVVV e---------------------------------------------------------------^_------------- B--------^_-----------------^_---------------^_--------12-13-17_|-|-15--------- G-----14_|-|-12-14-------14_|-|-12--------14_|-|-12-14------------V------------ D--12------V----------12------V----14--12------V------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------------------------------ footnote 1: footnote 2: footnote 3: C D G D C e---------------------------- --------------------- --------------- B----_----1------------------ --------------------- ----------_---- G---/-\-----0---------------- --------------------- ---------/-\--- D--0---2--------------------- --------------------- --------0---2-- A---------------------------- --------------------- ---0-2-3------- E---------------------------- ------0-3------------ --------------- She's wondrin'... wear. ...hair Guitar solo: 1/2 VVVVVVVVVV 1/2 VVV _ 1/2 e----^_--------------------------------------------_------/-\---------^_-- B-17_|-|-15-15-15--13-12----------------^_--------/-\---12---13-15-17_|-|- G------V-----------------14-12-------14_|-|-12--12---14-----------------V- D------------------------------14-12------V------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------------------------- E------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1/2 full ^_ _ VVVVVVV ^ e-17_|-|-15-----------/-\---------^_-------------------------15-17-19_|--- B------V----17--15--12---13-15-17_|-|-15--15-----------15-17-------------- G-----------------------------------V--------------12--------------------- D--------------------------------------------12-14------------------------ A------------------------------------------------------------------------- E------------------------------------------------------------------------- VVVVVVV 1/2 VVVVV e-17-15-15--------------------------^__----------------------------------- B--------------_------------12--17__|--|--15------------------------------ G-------------/-\---12--14-------------V---------------------------------- D-----------12---14------------------------------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------------------------- E------------------------------------------------------------------------- footnote 4: notation: 1/2 e----3--3-2---- _ ^ B----3--3-3---- / \ : hammeron or pulloff _| : bend up 1/2 step G----2--2-2---- D----0--0-0---- full ^_ A-------------- ^ : bend up one full step _| | : bend up then E-------------- _| V reverse bend back ...head VVVV : vibrato Finish off the song with the guitar theme and a little blues run in the same G scale.
