San Francisco Bay Blues (Jesse Fuller)by Eric Clapton

San Francisco Bay Blues was written by Jesse Fuller, a songwriter and one-man-band who lived in the Bay Area until his death in 1976. His songs were very popular with San Francisco bands of the 60s and 70s- Hot Tuna, the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, to name a few. This song became his most famous and has been recorded by dozens of artists over the last 50 years. This lesson is based on Eric Clapton's version on his 'Unplugged' album. It features basic chords in the key of C, and uses a country-style strumming pattern.
