"TEARS IN HEAVEN" • Eric Clapton Fingerstyle Guitar Cover

Over the last year, I've gotten a lot of requests for a fingerstyle cover of @Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven," so I wanted to send this out to anyone whose been wanting or needing to hear it. It's such a sad song lyrically, but I always appreciated how hopeful the music felt... with the melody and arrangement dropping down into minor, only to resolve back into major tones, and lifting up into the major key change for the bridge. I think it's that tug of war between light and dark that makes blues music so helpful when people are feeling bad, because it reminds them that, no matter what challenges they're facing, they're not alone out there.
