Signe by Eric Clapton

There are quite a few repeating parts in this song such as the Outro. I didn’t play the outro here because it is the same theme over and over and is played throughout this song. Also note that Theme 2 isn’t on here because it is the same as Theme 1.

NO PICK on this one guys and gals! It’s just too hard to play that way. The acoustic is in standard tuning. For a real challenge, play it on a nylon acoustic if you have one. Talk about a workout!

Here’s the metronome beat, which is set at 176 bpm.

Intro

The actual intro on the powertab score shows the pickup notes after the last A formation played at the end of the measures below. For looping purpose and sense of lesson, I placed THAT part at the beginning of the verse theme.

Verse Theme

Don’t let the length of the verse fool you. Much of it is repeated, but instead of confusing you by separating each part, I am showing everything together. This theme can be worked with line-by-line, but since there
are so many transitions of the same chord into the next meausure, this should be a little more understandable.

Bridge

The bridge is a little tricky. Pay close attention to the rests. If you have trouble, check out the audio to hear the rests. (Long story short – when you go to the 4th frets, pause before playing that part after the little riff.)
