I bought the first 3 Cream albums, vinyl, when they were released. Loved Clapton the first time I heard him. Fresh Cream (1966) Disraeli Gears (1967) Wheels of Fire (1968)
@fiddleandfart Жыл бұрын
Yes, these albums remain pretty special - not least for Clapton's incredible SOUND on "Fresh Cream," and "Disraeli Gears," particularly - and his particularly appropriate brilliance in what he did in each song. People who deride the later laid-back Clapton should hear how incredibly fiery he was as a young player in his very early twenties - which to so many people's regret, he seems to have lost in the decades since! Even though, in many ways, he's broadened and become more sophisticated as a player, with no need to prove himself in any way!

I've played with some fantastic musicians who were incredibly precise and fast. But I never got into that. I wasn't fast, and I could never be fast, because injured my hands when I was a sailor and just didn't have the speed or dexterity to do that. I adapted by tending towards more emotive playing. Guys like Clapton and Gilmour gave me hope. I still play, and I still love it.

This is something that most people miss (judging from what I hear from KZfaq). I think the way to get it is to try to play solos *exactly* -- so that they are indistinguishable from the originals, and do that with solos that aren't blazingly fast. A good one to work on would be George Harrison's solo on "Something". This is what classical musicians are doing *all* the time -- the notes are all given to them, so the only thing that distinguishes one performance from another is exactly how each note is played. It's all about the details.

Excellent lesson! This should be required for all guitar players to watch this video. Those who get wrapped up in technique forget that the notes have to have a soul. BB King played three note solos that anyone could play, but no one could have that passion in three notes like him. I am not knocking shredders. Eddie Van Halen had great technique AND soul in every note. Many copied his technique and no one sounded like him either.
