Eric Clapton – Layla

Layla Eric Clapton ukulele riff
Layla Midi

I had considered tabbing the acoustic version of this before I realised it was incredibly dull in comparison. In the original version, there are a few screaming string bends. String bends tend not to work too well on the uke, so I’d suggest you use slides instead (and plenty of vibrato to keep the string ringing).

    Vibrato? I’m not a genius when it comes to the ukulele, so what’s a vibrato and how does it keep the string going?
