Thanks for the kind comments people, it's really fun to be part of a community that loves this music & to share these lessons with you... also a huge thanks to those who have bought Cd albums, t-shirts from www.mikebrookfield.com .. it's a great way to support this project... Keep it burnin' folks! Mike

I think I now understand why someone spray painted ‘Clapton is god’ this was the beginning of what we all appreciate as British blues. Your Les Paul is bang on the money tone wise.

I’ll be never grateful enough for the work you did for those BEANO lessons! Crazy good material Thank you Mike! Keep it burnin’

Thank You Michael, hope all is well with you and family. I stopped playing for 3 yrs. cause of Covid, and it took a while to get back into the swing of things. Started tonight played for 4 hrs, until my finger hurt so much I couldn't play anymore.

I just came about this video today. I really love the way it's just you out front. It really helps me to concentrate on the lead guitar lines.

I remember working through this bit by bit with your help over what feels like weeks and weeks feeling totally hammered at the end of it all . It really is the holy grail of learning guitar and I must say I use chunks of this everyday as part of my warm up and practice and I still find stuff in there that blows the mind not to mention the fingers are in bits , but hey its all good . Great stuff Mike

Dude u Rock! If more ppl who are teaching guitar wld even teach everyone for free & break things up into the proper phrasing. Then this world wld be a much better place. I remember when I was a much younger guitarist. Going to play w/other guitarists & we would trade licks & ideas. I thought that's what this utube stuff wld be like. Instead u see working musicians charging lesser musicians for the knowledge that used to be shared. Ty for breaking the norm. Cheers

Recently discovered this album; even though I've admired Clapton as a guitar icon; I never knew this pre-Cream album existed; so it's all new to me; very thrilling to dive into it as a player. Hideaway is the track that jumps out for me to want to learn. Do you think the trend these days for the hobby player is more towards seeking vintage tone; and playing like Peter Green; Hendrix; and Clapton on electric; or are we still all about you tube shredders?

This is solid gold, Mike. I appreciate the breaking up of each phrase, makes it much easier to work on them and string them together into the context of the entire piece. One area I need a lot of improvement on is my improvisational phrasing. Clapton's playing on the Beano album is not only a treasure trove of classic licks but a master class in phrasing. And you pretty much nailed it!

When you see the dross on channels with millions of views.and watch your performance of this blues masterpiece it's criminal you only got this many views. I tried tol earn this from the Jef Healy version years ago.before KZfaq.My ear was not good enough to pick out the fast stuff.Loved your lesson on here.

Great lesson Mike like the way you broke it down into sections one of the classics 👍🔥🔥

Enjoy your videos and appreciate the work you put into breaking the song down.

Great job mike. The Freddie king down low part always used to get me, after all of that basic playing further up the fretboard (basic but genius), well done from NYC my friend. Let’s hope these young bucks keep the blues alive.

Hey Mike, Your lessons are truly appreciated by the guitar community... thank you once again mate!

Great job Mike! I’m gonna practice this one and your Badge lesson for my summer project. Can’t wait for the rest of the Album!

This song has been 'haunting' me my entire guitar playing life. Thanks for helping me to get a little closer. As you said it's an amazing record of EC's blues rock virtuosity and its obvious why everyone wants to take the challenge. Nice to hear a bit about your home and family! Thanks Mike

I first started watching your videos when I picked up again after a 30 year break. 6 year ago. I cant play these as well as you but because of your videos Crossroads play along Hideaway and All your Lovin. I can play.

Great lesson!! Thank you very much!!!

Ya...think you got it....for sure...thanks for sharing...Mike

Can't wait for blues breakers #3. Back to the roots.. it's all here! You the man.

That was great. I learned parts from you that I have struggled with for decades.

Absolutely brilliant Mike - top notch - 👍

Brilliant video, many thanks, but can we all stop and appreciate....that tone!!!!

Mike you just made my night..... so fab to have this...."under pressure", yes... not me thanks so much for your work and sharing, and I am sqoozing it man now thanks to you

This is such a hot tune, hot licks. First heard this back in the 70’s, off of some album involving beck page or Clapton, because I didn’t know who John may all was at first, later. But such a killer blues jam Freddie King made and Eric solos superb. This and Tribute to Elmore, such essential electric blues boogies.

Brill, I've been "playing" Hideaway for 55 years and still trying to get it right, you've just made me want to chop my fingers off! lol. very good tutorial, maybe in another 55 years i'll get somewhere close! Cheers buddy :)

Fabulous!!! Couldn't be better IMHO.

Great lesson you have great vibrato!

Sublime Mike, nailed it, just perfect - and that tone ! Now how ‘bout ‘Steppin Out”......

Your are the best Mike!! Beano is my favorite album!! I would love stepping out!!

Where Have you been man....really enjoy your lessons ...extremely helpful, THX!!

So good. My favorite track off the Beano album. Freddie King in the house.

I tried to learn it from your older video about 2 or 3 years ago. Now im going to try it again. Thanks for your lessons. Greetings from Greece.

Hello from St Pete Florida. Thanks so much for doing this series. The Beano album , the Butterfield blues band first album and Are you experience were for me what Sargent Pepper's was to most folks . Thx dude

I agree with you man Screw those big strings. I went down that rabbit hole for years only to realize the 9’s not only play better but sound better also. They have a much better cut than the others. Great playing man. Would have been nice to see some tabs. That sounds spot on.

Great lesson.....your comments on the phrasings , to me , is priceless...really helps a lot...Thanks Mike.

That les paul is a stunner! 👌

This song is personal to my memories.

The SRV version of hideaway is cool too. Interesting variations.

Saw the original es330 video, missed this one. Picking hand so good! Hope you’re well Mike! Cheers!

Great lesson

Thanks for all the great info, you totally nail this one!

Mike, this is amazing. I love watching these videos and learning from you. Next time, tell us a bit about that beautiful Les Paul and your Amp set up. Would love to know more. Keep up the videos. Great stuff 👍🏻

Sounds great mi learned (and forgot) all this in the 70's Sounds spot on Love it

Wow you are awesome! First discovered Hideaway (Beano version) in the 1970s, was naturally blown away, and always wanted to play it but just never got it quite right and got lazy about it eventually. But there's a ton of Beano documentary videos around KZfaq recently that have me all nostalgic about it. And here you are with this great tutorial where you nailed it note for note and are sharing your years long effort, so many thanks! I recently picked up a Vox Amplug2 Classic Rock Headphone Amp which sounds perfect for this, since there'll be no tube amps at '10' in my little apartment, so I'll give it a shot again. Glad you have 9s for the bends since 13s, yikes! Been thinking of going from 9s to 8s myself for these bends and my arthritic hands. Cheers!

Saw the original ES330 video missed this one. So good your picking hand is magical. How you’re well! Cheers!

hi Mike great lesson again keep up the good work

Thankyou so much for doing these vids. My guitar tutor has set me to learning this piece and your lesson is helping me no end. You are a great player. Subscribed.

NICE JOB ON THAT TONE !!! Spot on....

If I only had instruction like this 30 year ago. Thanks

Brilliant!! Thank you Maestro.

I enjoy seeing your guitar room and equipment.

Well here I am again for a little refresher!

Mike even though you've done some of these before, years ago, this is solid gold...I'm on my knees in thanks!!!! OMG this is great!!!!

Mike a nice version of rambling on my mind? Love what your doing keep it up

Brilliant, thanks!!! 🙂

Superbe ! Mike!! touch & Feel "Slowhand"Eat your heart Out !! Ha Ha !!

Excellent lesson, you are an awesomw musician, Mike!!

Nice one, Mike! I remember the original Hideaway videos years ago. This is a great project. Hope you can see it through to the end. I'm especially interested in Double Crossing Time and Have You Heard - Clapton at his absolute, searing best! It would also be nice to get some of the underlying rhythm parts on the tracks you cover if you can find time for that.

Just found your site. I remember where I was first hearing “beano” thank you

Spot on brother marveless absolutely

ooh dats tight!

What a great video! Love it👊🏻🤩

As always well done Mike!!

Excellent travail Mike,! Greetings from France.

Musicians like u deserve more likes

hey mike joe from New Jersey UNITED STATES I'm new hear just just found you - like your stuff the way you break everything down is great for the viewer your are a great teacher and player - the Clapton lics are intense - be well be safe -PS I'M a senior- lived all the 60s stuff

Outstanding

Great video! I subscribed

Haha, I used to play 11s but I’ve gone down to 9s and sometimes 8s too. I also thought I “needed” the heavy strings for tone but I was watching an interview with Billy Gibbons where he said one day he was back stage with BB King and they each played each other’s guitars. BB asked why Billy had such heavy strings on his guitars, and Billy said, “well isn’t that how you guys get that tone,?” To which BB replied, “man, why are you working so hard?” BB used 8s, so Billy figured go even one lower and he’s been playing 7s ever since. After I heard that, I thought the same to myself, why am I working so hard?

Well I’m working on hideaway Mike plus the sky is crying. You certainly challenge me!!

Brilliant, keep on keeping on!

sounds great! nailed it

Looking forward to the lesson Mike!

Fantastic job, Mike. Where the hell were you when I was trying to learn this song?😜

Thanks so much Mike! Enjoying your awesome lessons!

I have been struggling with getting the picking speed on the turnaround. I stopped anchoring my little finger and it helps a lot. Always played that way. This song is really very advanced blues rock.

Love Your vids man!!! You are a GREAT teacher!! Keep it up man!!! I'm very thankful!!!!! :)

Mike, I have never been able to do the 10's. I just gave it up and play .09's. Jay

Keep it up Mike really love this

Wouuuuuuuu great job and great sound.... Mike is GOD.. Jejeje saludos Monterrey nl México

Great lesson!!!! Mike can you do the same for disraeli grars songs?

Perfecto! Man you sound good. This is a great tune and your guitar and tone sounds amazing. Cheers!

Mike no sé si entiendes español, pero este vídeo le repetido y una y otra vez por las últimas dos semanas. Tocando encima del decenas de veces. Creo que es el Video que más veces he visto en toda mi vida, tratando de practicar militaba encima de el. Te siento como un amigo de toda la vida

I always played(what parts I could pull off) the whole main riff up in that open position. I think you’re way is way better and right. I’m gonna go at this one again. Long time since I fought with this one.

I learnt guitar by copying records in the sixties (no tabs or videos back then and I ruined many records that way. No light strings either so I followed Clapton's trick of removing the fat E string, moving the strings down and replacing the thin E with a banjo string!). I think about half of my licks were from the Beano album. So I was very interested to see if I had been playing it right. The main thing I got wrong was that I played that E9 chord in the middle, as an E. Very distinctive sounding.

Can you please do some lessons on A Hard Road? Tracks like the stumble, the super-natural and Someday after awhile. Thanks for these lessons I’m eating them up!!

Very well played, sire. :-)

love it. Just discovered the Beano record. Late to the game but its a beaut

Love this

have you done "a hard road "john mayall it is a great one too

Well done. What Keeley Plexi pedal are you using btw?

Mike great lesson like usual. The Beano album is the thru Blues British. Rambling on my mind lesson, it's possible ?

Do cross roads!

It would be cool for you to show all your guitars and amps with some back stories on acquisition.

Mike, could you do an Outside Woman Blues lesson? Please mate!!!

Nicely played Mike! The part I'm having trouble with is actually the easy double stop section at 04:09 - 04:15. I just can't get the timing/number of repetitions right. Any pointers on how to count this?

Thanks for this wonderful post Mike and all of the great stuff you’re doing on this channel! Hideaway and the Beano album is one of the things that got me started playing guitar as a 13 year old kid in 1986. Great to hear it so lovingly explained by such a brilliant guitarist. By the way, do you know where you can get hold of the tablature for this - or did you write it out yourself?

Brilliant man.... What’s the Amp?

Thanks thanks Mike ! Could you do the same on little wing srv ??!! I’m stuck on 3’20 if i remember well...
