Lockdown Licks no. 9 Romance in the air?
‘WonderfulTonight’ Signature riff. Breezy melodic riff/solo in G with a little reverb & chorus to sweeten! Stratocaster guitar setting in between mid and back pick up-the riff played with my thumb to keep it ‘soft’, gradually slows down as it does in Clapton’s live version endings. It ends on a full step bend note held with a little vibrato when released.
“Wonderful Tonight” is a ballad written by Eric Clapton. It was included on Clapton’s 1977 album Slowhand. Clapton wrote the song about Pattie Boyd.The female vocal harmonies on the song are provided by Marcella Detroit and Yvonne Elliman.
