Wes/Greybeard,

I just tried this the other day and I was suprised how easy it was but I had a couple questions about the tab.

First, Riff A, I have a CD with this song on it and the only time it seems like he plays Riff A the way Greybeard described is the very first part of the intro then he seems to play it the way Wes tabbed it out.

Also, Wes, for the verses after the first it sounds like he plays the first half of Riff A until he starts to sing then he plays the whole thing.

The version I'm listening to is off of the Cream of Clapton CD. It's a compilation CD.

The only reason I'm questioning it is because I'm not good at hearing things in a recording and I just wanted to know if what I'm hearing is correct.

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!

cnev,

it's highly possible that it's played that way. Certainly EC never seems to play it exactly the same way twice - don't forget, he started out with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers and John Mayall demanded variety in the way things were played. I'm sure that's carried over into his normal way of playing.

Great job on this tab Wes

This was one of the first songs my guitar teacher showed me. He uses it because it's easy to remember and incorporates slides, bends, stacatto notes...you name it. Also he showed me how to play it in different positions and using different phrasing and it still sounded good.

My point is that it's a great song to learn and then fool around with and change to your liking

Thanks

Dave

Sport The Trapped X

Yes, that is the shape for the Major and Minor Pentatonic scales.

In this particular song, the solo is primarily played in the D Minor Pentatonic (index finger at 10th fret) and the D Major Pentatonic (index finger at 7th fret).

Most of this solo is played in these two positions. At the end of the solo Eric Clapton moves into the D Minor Pentatonic 2nd position.

Here's a video where Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce show and talk about how they play the song (interspersed with a bunch of people yammering on about the importance of the song and riff in the history of music)

I wrapped a newspaper ’round my head
So I looked like I was deep

Thanks for that video, I had found it by accident about 2 weeks ago and couldn't find it again. This time I saved it to my favorites. :D

And I agree that this song was monumental. I remember hearing Cream when I was 13 years old (1967). This was even before Hendrix came out. When I heard Sunshine of Your Love, Tales of Brave Ulysses and White Room I was completely blown away. Rock music had NEVER sounded so incredibly heavy until these songs came out. After that eveything changed. Groups like Black Sabbath and others copied this sound. And even to this day these songs still sound heavier than anything out there. Cream was the best. :twisted:

Precisely I am working on this song this week! I didn't remember it was here.

The video is very good, too. Thanks.
