Top Comments of this video!! :3
When Eric Clapton played this song on MTV Unplugged, I immediately went out to the local music store, bought the DVD and the tab, took it home and learned every song in about a week. This is still one of my favorite blues songs, now I love it even more after hearing this bit of music theory on it!

You are an EXCELLENT teacher. Every word carefully spoken, no fluff or stutter and so precise. It’s easy on the mind and the knowledge is transferred in an elegant effective way. I’ve played 5 instruments for 30 years and I’ve never taken a lesson from anyone face to face.. but if I could ever do so it would be with you sir. Respect.

you have got what it takes to be natural teacher.....your calm enthusiasm, thorough, clear, and concise instruction, all with absolutely zero EGO , you do not overcomplicate your instruction in order to impress( which is quite rare on youtube videos ) as a matter of fact, you do just the opposite in a very straightforward easily understood manner. Very impressive.

When I first saw this video last year, it opened my eyes to the whole secondary dominant concept that I had sort of noticed in a lot of songs but did not understand why those chords were being used, even though I could obviously tell that they sounded great.
At that time, I did not feel capable of playing this tune the way that you do, though I completely understood your explanation of the 7th chords.
Since then, I have been experimenting with spicing up my own songs by inserting secondary dominants into my progressions, and I love it!
Now, I have come back to this video again, and I find that now I can follow the changes and even do the walking bass lines, and it is awesome to be able to play this song!
Thanks for giving me such a wonderful gift that keeps on giving! Rock on!

Simply outstanding, in every way. Stellar musicianship and performance to start, but outstanding teaching style: easy to follow, animated, enthusiastic, and relatable, all tightly edited into less than 12 minutes. We are lucky to have you, Paul. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us.

A very dear old friend taught me this song in '73 when I first started playing. I understood absolutely nothing as to the theory behind it. She is long gone now, but I think of her every time I play this tune. Thank you for the lesson.
