Learning to play 'Clint Eastwood' by the virtual band, Gorillaz can be an exhilarating experience for any music enthusiast who appreciates alternative rock and hip-hop fusion. The song's iconic guitar riff is one of its most recognizable elements, making it a great choice for both beginners looking to improve their skills and experienced musicians seeking new challenges.

To start playing 'Clint Eastwood' on the guitar, you'll need to familiarize yourself with basic chords such as C major (C), F minor (Fm), G7, Am7, Dsus4, Csus2, E7, and Em. It's also essential to understand how to play a simple barre chord using your fretting hand.

To begin the song:

1. Start in the key of C major with an open string pattern: C - Bb - G

2. Play a low Fm (F natural on bass) note, then move up chromatically through all six strings while keeping the same finger positions.

a. Pinky index ring middle fingers should press down at these frets respectively from left to right:

* 3rd fret for C major

* 4th fret for Dsus2 (or Csus2)

b. Release tension between each note by allowing your wrist and hand muscles to relax.

Once you've mastered the basic chord progression, focus on developing a smooth transition between notes using finger slides or hammer-ons/ pull-offs depending upon personal preference. Practice these techniques slowly at first until they feel natural before increasing speed gradually over time as needed.

To add more complexity:

- Experiment with different playing styles such as palm muting, slap bass-like effects by hitting individual strings hard enough to produce percussive sounds

- Incorporate chromatic scales or pentatonic patterns into your solo sections for added tension and release

Finally, remember that practice makes perfect. Don't be discouraged if you don't get it right away – learning any new skill takes time and patience. With dedication and persistence, soon you'll be shredding like a pro on 'Clint Eastwood'!
