Now that was a nice and unexpected departure from your usual Beatles song lessons Mike! So glad that you continue keeping those old tunes alive and well from a time when music was played live and musicians had real inborn talent! Hope that all is well in France! 👍👍👏👏

A refreshing break from The Beatles, this album was brought home by my older brother in 1967, I was 9 years old and I loved it, have loved it ever since, Ginger's tomtom backing made the song great version mike

Great job. Cream and Hendrix were so important to me. During early summer 67, I remember riding my bike and buying both Gears and Experience. After that I was going to learn guitar, already had 4yrs on drums. That music moved me so much, I was 12yrs, like it was yesterday. Nice job.

I played support for Jack Bruce around about 1989/92 in Carlisle. The bass player in our band who was pretty good really excelled himself that night. Jack Bruce autographed a Cream Album for us. I told him I really enjoyed a previous band he was in which included Mick Taylor on guitar and Billy Cobham on drums.

My mind is blown, Mike. I saw you were doing a Cream song and I said what the heck is happening? This is a really cool departure from the Beatles and hopefully you will do more of these great songs. Looks like cream has a fourth member now namely you.

Oh this is great. The nuances I've listened to through all these years (I was 13 when this came out), which even as a guitarist I'd never actually fully thought through were very well explained and played. Nice drumming too. I've off to have fun with that big A chord now...

Such a great tune... and the solo is typical of Clapton back then fiery but well constructed mixing major and minor pentatonics and the usual blues rock cliches that he managed to make sound authentic and fresh.

@taylor818e6 Ай бұрын

Hello Mike, phenomenal job as per your usual level of detail. Any idea about the riff between Baker and Bruce? Also, the moving note diagram is so helpful to visualize the movement that you can’t see well otherwise. Is that a specific program that does that for you? Thanks again, Anthony

@MPfrance Ай бұрын

@taylor - The riff started when they were in the Graham Bond Organisation. Bruce started playing during a Baker drum solo - Ginger punched him. Ginger Baker was a heroin addict and Jack Bruce had a Jekyll and Hyde personality. Not a very cohesive concoction. And no - there's no "specific program" that creates the moving note diagrams. I create them one frame at a time in PhotoShop and edit them together in Adobe Premiere Pro. QUITE a tedious job!! One of the many reasons a lesson takes the better part of two weeks to complete.

Hello Mike, greetings from the UK. People wonder sometimes why the album was called Disraeli Gears? I have a theory which is that until about the late 60s, most British bikes used Sturmey Archer gears, but later on bikes with French Derailleur gears appeared. Unfortunately, many British people were unable to pronounce this, and so called them Disraeli Gears after the 19th century British Prime Minister. One of these days, I must ask Eric if that is true.😀

@MPfrance Ай бұрын

@michael - yes - Cream’s roadie, Mick Turner, was describing a racing bicycle gears and couldn't properly pronounce ‘derailleur gears.' The band liked Mick's mispronunciation and titled the album thusly.

Ginger Baker came from a jazz background, and was far more technically sophisticated than Ringo Starr. Ringo HIMSELF has even admitted that he is not very good at the technical stuff, and that a lot of his “style” is the result of being a left-handed person struggling to play a right-handed drum kit. THAT is why his downbeat in “Ticket To Ride” is late, for example. Ginger’s drumming is MUCH more challenging to pull off than Ringo Starr for guitarists who only play drums occasionally. There is a reason why Ginger Baker was such a huge influence on drummers like John Bonham, Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, and Alex Van Halen, among others.

@Edward-MTBKR Ай бұрын

Never really cared for Cream, pretentious and boring despite their obvious abilities. Please keep doing more Beatles, and if you feel like variety, you can't go wrong with the Rolling Stones.
