Chords for Derek and the Dominoes - Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad – Lesson

_ _ _ _ Okay, this is a real quick lesson on Eric Clapton's White is Love Gotta Be So Sad from the
Layla albums just gonna cover you know how he makes the chords which course he uses what the rhythm is
_ Where you would play the leads basically a jamming song so you know you want to kind of make up your own thing
If you want to learn it note for note
Good luck, but anyway the the chords _
_ Starts with an A minor chord you don't make this a minor bar chord
Like this at the fifth fret you make it like this so it's the same deal
You're just moving this over and you bring your thumb over
Clapton usually likes to play like that
It's a lot easier if you're gonna play a lot of chords to play like this and like this because your can gets really tight
So so he's [Am] got an A minor _
He's got a [G] G
_ Just move it down stick that
[N] This finger in there then
F [F] same way
Open [C] C, _ _ _ and then this [E] e7 like this
_ _ _ _ Okay, the intro is just cycling [G] between the a minor _ and [N] the G
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ [G] _
_ _ And so what you're doing there is you're [Am] playing this rhythm
It's like _ _ _ _ and then when you go down [C] to this this G
Used like three [E] up strokes, and then start going up and [G] down foot _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ so it's
[Am] As slowly as I can do it _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[Am] _ [G] Then _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
_ when he's in the verse he just is just [G#] you you go back what to do those once and then you go down to
those other chords, so [Am] it's just _
[G] And [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [N] then for the course _ it's a major seven and D major seven
_ _ _ Luckily enough Clapton uses this open a major seven chord _
_ [A] And _ _ then the open D major [D#] seven chord one of the easier ones you got there, so
[D] _
_ _ [E] This is just obviously _
D string second fret G string first fret B string second fret _ _ to the a major seven [N] and then _
Just the G B and E string bar to second fret for the [D] D
so _ [Am] you're coming out of
_ [G] and _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ you see that your
_ [N] Index finger is already in the right position for that next chord to the a major seven
So you just bring this over one [A] put this down here, and you got so _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ it's the same same idea
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _
_ [N] Okay, so so those are chords.
That's the rhythm
_ _ That's how he plays it _
in terms of the lead
_ _ _ All the lead that's played against one Clapton on
_ _ On the album what Clapton is playing lead he's playing a major.
I'm sorry a minor pentatonic
He's usually down down like you know down [Dm] here
_ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
And then Dwayne Allman is also playing on it is doing the same thing, but he's he's all the way up here
[D] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N]
You kind of stuff up there
and then when it goes to
_ When it goes to the [A] chorus _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [N] then you
_ _ Switch the a major pentatonic
_ You know which is just here
You know you're rooted on the second fret and you're playing that first box [A] there, so _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] So that's you know [E] that's basically where you need to be in order to to [D#] get the
The leads right and that's pretty much what our so-so take care
_ _ [N] _ _
