[PaPaStrum]

@1958wvpicker Thanks Rich, I appreciate the kind words.

[Lawdawgie026]

You suck

[PaPaStrum]

@Lawdawgie026 Yeah and your version is tops... oh wait you don't have any vids posted but you probably do it great in guitar hero.

[hideblue69]

Awesome Style!

[fitzpantsenson]

yikes.

[h20melontwee]

Would you be able to post which chords you used? I love your version so much -- you have a gentle, relaxing voice, and I love the country fingerprint you left on the piece. Thank you!

[PaPaStrum]

@h20melontwee Thank you for the kind words. Check out chordie dot com to find a large library of guitar songs - with the ability to transpose many of them. I don't really have tab but grabbed the basic chords from there, they are essentially the chords I am playing.

verse:

C E7 Am C F G F G C E7 Am C F G Chorus: A Am7 F#m D E A Am7 F#m D E A Am7 A7 D E A Am7 A7 D E F G

rinse and repeat - oh and have fun too!

[angiekat29]

I forgot how much I loved this song! I really enjoyed your interpretation of this classic. Thanks for sharing.

goosebumbs..........

[PaPaStrum]

@jcandstonesfollower Ha ha... that is very kind of you to say. I appreciate the comment.

[jcandstonesfollower]

@PaPaStrum haha, no problem... if i could play and sing like that, the world would be different......

[domeikap]

Your style of playing is fine, and the lyrics are almost there..... Play and sing from the heart, and you my friend will be famous. You play well enough, and you can sing well enough. Put them together and be the future.

[PaPaStrum]

@domeikap Thanks for the feedback... I just play for fun and have no illusions beyond my own little circle.

[GrahamWasConfident]

Really good cover! Awesome, this really makes me want to take up the guitar.

[PaPaStrum]

@GrahamWasConfident Hey thanks. I find the guitar a great way to relax, you should give it a try

[PBulhon]

I am a huge Clapton and Derek and the Dominos fan, but I found this version awesome. Really liked your spin on it. Keep it up.

[PaPaStrum]

Thank you very much for the kudos and encouragement

[julie1300]

thanks for sharing this ! very nice !

[PaPaStrum]

Appreciate that

[RagingMonkeyFilms]

This is great!! nothing wrong with your voice man. Blues is about the emotion and experience and not about vocal perfection. You have done a great job. so keep it up

[PaPaStrum]

Thanks I will.

[BLacKCatB0ne]

Excellent cover and i like your version of it. Thanks for this video it allowed me to see what i have been doing wrong when I play this song. Keep up the good work!

[PaPaStrum]

Glad it helped. Music is all about sharing.

[RustyShackelford73]

ha... i have the same guitar..ibanez ae30?

[PaPaStrum]

Small world... thanks for watching

[swendog65]

Nice Job!...anyone who downs you has probably never tried to sing and play at the same time...a hurdle for sure..then try doin' it in front of people..a whole new challenge! I wish people could just appreciate a Great effort...don't knock til you try!! As a fellow player, I send a "WELL DONE"...Keep Jammin

[PaPaStrum]

Thank you... it was definitely an effort to learn. I'm lucky to play a few hours a week but I keep working at it

[Max4o0o0]

Nice cover. Well done!

[fr06floyd]

Amazing song... one of the best of Eric.

Can I have just the chords please ??? Thanks a lot, I don't find these...

[ARNOLD1982DEAL]

I like it. You had a great idea for the falsettas that nobody seems to be able to hit. Plus its your own spin rather then doing EC's version you made it more your own. A couple of words were changed to I noticed but other then that it sounds very good. I'll give it a B+

[PaPaStrum]

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words

[Swagerama]

i mean , sure its a good cover and anyhting but it snothing original

[PaPaStrum]

Okay, probably cause I don't have an original bone in my body. Thanks for watching

[Swagerama]

hey dont get down , you have a nice voice and it was a great cover .

[PaPaStrum]

no downers friend... it's all good

[MrLuckyGold]

nice voice not quite the whole song but still its nice good job!

[PaPaStrum]

Thank you

[hateangie]

sorry..... i disagree.....pretty bland.....not bluesy.......sounds country.........put some heart and soul into it dude,,,,,,,,,just being real with you

[PaPaStrum]

thanks for your opinion... just a weekend player with a lot to learn

[dopefeindwilly]

good shit i think ya got a good voice

[PaPaStrum]

Thanks glad you liked it

[laguniste]

Very nice. I like taht.

And youre guitar is butiful <3

[PaPaStrum]

Thanks for listening!

[videocreatorgr]

Awesome! I've heard it unplugged from Clapton, but not with strumming the entire chords. He only plays the original electric parts with an acoustic on unplugged versions.

[biggerC123]

epic song < if you dont mind could you get me some chords love to be able to play this song!!

[emmym777]

Wonderful . Love your heart.

[PaPaStrum]

Thank you very much

[Boston004681]

Nice, but work on those vocals! : )

[PaPaStrum]

Thanks!

[pyschedelicpatti]

very good !!!

does have the country sound .. one if not my fav Clapton songs ...

peace

xoxo

[seandeyoung01]

very good. i like your voice very much.

[PaPaStrum]

thanks for the comment and for listening

[joelok48]

Pure BS. Your voice ain't weak dude, on the contrary.Put you in a Nashville studio and this becomes a remake country hit. Now how we gonna get ya in there is a another question....

[PaPaStrum]

Thanks Joe; I appreciate the kind words.

[JulianH21]

this is somehow very good. You have a nice, groovy voice :)

[PaPaStrum]

ha ha thanks, I like groovy!

[joethebourbonman]

Great take on this song--I'd never really noticed how well the lyrics suit a country style interpretation until I heard this.....Good work!

[PaPaStrum]

Thanks! It's, kind of limiting when ya just strum and have no talent. Just having some fun.

[joethebourbonman]

Nothing wrong with strumming....that's mostly how I play myself. Talent is making the technical abilities you do have sound good....and you do a good job of it. Keep playing, it's great!

[PaPaStrum]

Thank you!

[incognitopeppermint]

Cool!!!! Great job!!!!

[GuitarLengends456]

this is great

[PaPaStrum]

Thanks!
