Eric Clapton - Old Love Intro Ver 2 guitar tab
Your rating:
Here's the intro to the original Old Love found on the Journeyman CD. Use clean tone and reverb for the rhythm parts, which are of course played on a Strat with one of the warmer pickups (probably neck). I'm not sure what Eric uses for the lead parts, but a bridge pickup with a bit of distortion should do. Enjoy.
