WANNA MAKE LOVE TO YOU
Eric Clapton
from the album ?Crossroads? (1988)
transcribed by Steve Garner (s_garner@hotmail.com)
This is a great song which is only available on the Crossroads box
set. There are a lot of small licks and fills throughout the song,
so I?ve tabbed them out at the end and indicated where each one goes.
(As you?ll notice, I didn?t tab any of the licks during the last
chorus, because some of them are behind the vocals and difficult to
make out). The two main guitar solos are actually doubled on the
recording (? la Allman Brothers) but I?ve only tabbed the first
guitar?s part for each one. Have fun!
