Classical Gas by Eric Clapton: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

This is a fine instrumental tune written and recorded by Mason Williams. We list this song as Eric Clapton Classic gas guitar tabs but Clapton has never recorded this song. The reason for this misconception might be that Eric played much of the music for the movie “The story of us”. Classical Gas is on the soundtrack album as well but it is the original solo guitar version by Williams.

It is still a good song and one of the most popular tunes here at GuitarTabsExplorer.com. In 1969 it won the three Grammy awards, including one for the best instrumental that year. Although it is not by Eric Clapton, these Classical gas guitar tabs are still fun to learn and play.
