backinblack12345backinblack12345Unknown Date
im pretty sure that theres actually three guitars and the first guitar plays


|----------------------|


|----------------------|


|----------------------|


|--------0h3p0-----0---|


|----0h3--------3------|


|----------------------|


and then the second guitar plays


|----------------------------|


|----------------------------|


|----------------------------|


|----7-7/5/3--3---5--5---7---|


|----5-5/3/1--1---3--3---5---|


|---------------3------5-----|


and the first power chord in the second part is played at the same time as the last note of the first riff, and the third guitar plays what you have tabbed out for guitar 2

Your Corrections





The corrections i'm making involve how many guitarts you tabbed. I have the book and it shows that there are actually 3 guitars playing the intro to layla, Eric clapton during this time was very fond of using the studios layering of the guitars and the overall song had 6 guitars not to mention all the fill in ones. ^_^

First off, very good tab but..





There are definitely some problems.





1. I believe that the Rythm Guitar, Git 1, Plays the intro AND the Chorus the same way





|-------------------------------------|


|-------------------------------------|


|-------------------------------------|


|--------0h3p0-----0--7/5/3---5-----7-|


|----0h3--------3-----5/3/1-0h3-0h3/5-|


|-------------------------------------|





OR the way I play it, which is a little bit easier, not much though is





|------------------------------------|


|------------------------------------|


|------------------------------------|


|-----0h3p0-----0--7/5/3-3-x-5-5-x-7-|


|-0h3--------3-----5/3/1-1-x-3-3-x-5-|


|------------------------------------|





But they both sound the same





But if you listen to the song, during the chorus you can hear the powerchords in the backround
