(Slightly Updated Bass Tab)
Song: Layla
Artist: Eric Clapton
Tabbed by: James Pucyk (pucyk_james@hotmail.com)
This is the tab for the first part of Layla, I could have tabbed the second part
but it would have taken too much time to figure out the chords and then tab out
every nuance of it. If you wanna figure it out improvise around the chord and the
basic scale surrounding the chords, especially concentrate on fifths and such.
Intro/Chorus/Solo
G|-------------|-------------|
D|*------------|------------*|
A|*------------|------------*|
E|-35-51-13-35-|-35-51-13-35-|
Note: 1) An A quater note is played first as the first bass note played the song.
2) Last note of intro goes from the G to Ab, first note of the verse.

Note: This is the raw bassline, there is little variation during the recording
due to it's comprehensive nature. However, there are small amounts of it, so if
you are a total stickler for accuracy, listen carfully and perhaps you could
even improvise around the basic chords, which are:
|A# E#| A# G A B| C# F# E (G)| C#(B) F B|
\------/
\->note: this chord is bracketed because it is
an extra chord thrown in for the bassline
and is note a basic guitar chord.
