This is a great song for lead guitar playing at an intermediate level. Whilst there are some tricky bends and some vibrato that can be difficult to nail, the phrasing is fairly easy to follow. The arpeggiated chords can take some work to execute exactly as Clapton played them on the original, but if you have the right chords down, you're half way there.

This song is a great example of a parallel key change, with verses using a hybrid of A natural minor (aeolian mode) and the A dorian mode (2nd mode of G major) and the chorus/bridge sections changing to A major. See the link below to learn more about parallel key changes.
