Signe is a wonderfully upbeat instrumental from Eric Clapton’s Unplugged album and a fantastic study in acoustic fingerstyle guitar, groove and ensemble playing.
What makes the track so enjoyable is that, on the surface, much of the playing isn’t overly complicated. The magic comes from how the guitars work together. We’ll learn the core parts.
Originally recorded live in 2023 as one of our live online classes, this course includes the complete Zoom lesson recording together with all accompanying lesson materials.
