It is an amazing amalgam of major and minor blues that just has some very, very tasty licks. Why is it good? it starts low and slow and builds up to a great climax. And in her demo, Chelsea also plays the bass parts (I believe she says in her notes). It is the juxtaposition of the bass & drums to it that make it great. There are tons of people who have covered the first section, but she is the only one I know of who has nailed part 2.īut I don't think it is just his solo that made that song, although any jam-band blues-rock guitar player would want to learn it. I only know of one person who has completely "cracked" that solo on YouTube, and it is younger girl from the South (Chelsea Constable) and she can play almost any solo you name (freaky good player).Įven with her showing me everything he played I still can't learn that solo, and I have really tried. I just think he had his style sharpened to the point when he played it that it didn t matter if he felt the time was off, he was playing by ear and knew he had to make it work and it does. That is just something he said he was feeling at the time he played it. I don't hear the band getting out of time, it all sounds cohesive to me. The only reason people know anyone got out of time during that recording is because Clapton said that himself about that solo in an interview, and most of us think he said that because even he has never been able to play it again. I guess it has to be your style of music first of all and I loved everything about Cream - all three albums but especially the live stuff, and I can tell you I have learned a lot of hard solos over the years but not that one, and you will not hear many guitarists who can play that solo note for note - especially the second half of it.
I am one of the people who totally admires that solo.
