Eric Clapton - Further Up On The Road bass tab
Song: Further Up On the Road
Performed By: Eric Clapton & The Band
Source: The Last Waltz (LIVE DVD also on Cd)
This is such a great song, and really easy to play. If you’re a beginner and
don’t like moving up and down the fret board, remember that all 5’s can be
substituted for 0’s on the next string and so on. If you’re a blues rock n’
roll lover or a just a Clapton fan, have a go!
Note - I have broken up song into sections to make repeat patterns easier
