Today we are learning how to play "Layla - Unplugged" by Eric Clapton. We have done as strummer version of this song in the past if you are interested in learning it, the link is here. One of the most interesting aspects of this song is that it started out as a really fast wild rock song, not even blues, just straight up rock and roll when it was released with the band "Derek and the Dominoes" in 1971. One of the most interesting things about that is when he is playing it live 21 years later, and he is playing this acoustic riff, one of the things he says before he starts playing is "See if you can spot this one" and the whole crowd goes crazy, but I positive none of them knew what song it was!
