Today we are going to learn how to play "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton in the finger style version, also known as chord melody ukulele, which means you will be able to play the harmony and melody at the same time!
The classic song opens with the iconic riff and then it is off to the verse, the song. Within the song the riff functions as the chorus so you can just keep on moving there and then after that there is a bridge and a coda to learn, as always we will learn how to play them all, piece by piece, bit by bit and in no time you will be able to play this entire classic Eric Clapton song.
We have done quite a bit of Clapton in the past, including a chord melody version of I Shot the Sheriff which was a version based on both of the songs, revolving around Clapton's use of the riff and key and of course Bob's groove and melody, but if you want some Clapton to strum look no further than tenthumbs, we have tons of Eric Clapton ukulele tutorials.
