Today I want to share with you how to play “Can’t Find My Way Home” on guitar. This song has a beautiful chord progression to it that has been used in countless classic rock songs. Once you learn this progression you’ll immediately start to recognize it as a familiar sound from other songs as well.
There are many ways to approach the guitar part in this song, in fact, all of the other lessons online focus on playing this song with a flatpick. However, to me, it sounds like fingerstyle on the recording. So for this lesson, I will be focusing on a fingerpicking approach. This approach is very similar to how Eric Clapton later played many tunes from his iconic Unplugged record.

I fell in love with this song when I heard the version from the Clapton-Winwood tour. Of course, Winwood’s vocals are incomparable.
Well done, thank you.
Jon BRAVO - one couldn’t teach a better lesson! 👏👏👏
Great lesson. The best explanation and demo of how to play this song fingerstyle.
Pretty sure there's another nylon lead melodic line played over this rhythm progression. Of course, the real challenge is putting a vocal on that does SOME justice to Winwood's iconic vocal
What a great song and the lesson is one of the best I’ve seen, covering the finger style approach for a change - thanks!
This is a fantastic lesson. Well worth the time I'll to invest to work through each bit. IMHO, one of your best yet. Thank you so much. I have been HUNTNG for a lesson on this song. Won't be an overnight learn, but so worth it.
Excellent tutorial Job! I hope to get this done for the summer camp fires! Thanks man
Thanks Jon!! "Had To Cry Today" is another Blind Faith song I would love to learn

Howdy young John!!! Love your Vodeos. Ima Old Fart whos Learning tunes from you! Thanks!
I wonder if Clapton actually played this on the Blind Faith album, or if it was Steve Winwood? I say that because Clapton's fingerstyle technique, for example on the Unplugged album, is so different from the more traditional Travis-style arrangement here.

Yes I suspect it was Steve Winwood playing it as he wrote it.

The rhythm part is Winwood with the lead interwoven over top by Clapton. Together their work on this song is pure magic.
Hi there Jon I am after a lesson on a Howling Wolf song called "Do the Do" can you help. Nice Aussie guitar you have there, Maton great Australian guitars ask Tommy Emanuel.
That acoustic sounds incredible! What kind of acoustic is that? Thanks. Great lesson.

Watch Steve Winwood play it on acoustic sitting by the fire. His guitar is tuned CGCFAD.

Sadly as usual another Clapton obsessed man the song was written by and on the album played by a guy called Steve winwood..you probably haven't heard of him

What a snarky comment. Yes It's a Winwood song, but Clapton is most certainly playing the guitar with Blind Faith. There is a lovely solo Winwood strummed version in front of à fireplace, solo acoustic
Very good job however, you should be referencing Steve Winwood not Clapton.
