Submission I Am Yours

Track #5 from Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. One of the more obscure tracks. Surprisingly syncopated. The beginning of the verse was not obvious to me. Feel free to suggest a different starting point for the verse (it's a repeating 23 measure pattern wherever it starts).



Good luck playing "I'm yours.":smug: drool

Here is a live version of that song. It's a good idea to watch Eric Clapton's (and other musicians') foot/feet.



Another one.

Lot's of "off-beat" (syncopated/displaced - the second 8th on Beat 1) notes in the melody, plus that "not-even" measure count - 23(?), but overall, the song has a very normally-even rhythmic pulse. Your notation is right on the money.
