How to play - Crossroads by Cream

[vond9]

Excellent work ,,nice phrasing,,brkn' out my tex-mex strat,,,,,,,

[aandrewranger]

you should have tabs like Bobbycrispy



[willy14155]

muy lejos se encuentra la guitarra de la camara, acercala mas y sera mejor, buena intencion..

[Zozou77]

GENIAL MERCI BEAUCOUP

[cofferson]

No offense to Clapton but his version blows. Robert Johnson is always the alfa

[MrQuickfix79]

your pretty good bro!

[appluntu]

Great lesson! As I wanted to play this song, I listened to this song millions of times (already posted my video). I have a question - in the main riff I can hear Eric Clapton pulls off the 2nd fret on 3rd string (G), and then picked it again, instead of hammering on, except the very first time. Many people as well as you in the video on Youtube use pulling-off and hammering-on at this part. I hear wrongly?

[Yigadurf]

i have a strat but my dad ripped of the knobs when he took off the cellophane wrap...

Anybody know how to fix them???

[TL250Rider]

A Fat Strat Sounds Great.

[johnnyguitar335]

great tone Johnny! Dude you nail that "valve" sound on that thang! Nice execution. Thanks for sharing your fine study of Eric's classico. From accross the pond please check out my site on youtube paying tribute to bros. Duane Allman, Mike Bloomfield and others including B.B. and my Dad at: johnnyguitar335

[klv400]

man that is one nice guitar!

[nedalust]

Great tone, great playing, great lesson but, with no offence, a strat with 2 humbuckers is not really a strat (in my opinion).

[JOHNNYG99X]

@nedalust totally agree with you.. but since i dont own a les paul or a 335 at the time, i used the humbucker equipped strat.. BTW, the pickups are tappable to single coils

[misterstratocaster]

@nedalust You're right...real Strats don't have humbuckers.

[solbrand]

It's hard to work off of something like this without seeing a tab

[bmac01049]

I've been working on Crossroads for awhile and was glad to catch this video. Thanks for helping me work the kinks out.

[cshargeit]

brilliant- must be easy to go off,,, like clapton and jack bruce would do....desireable merchandise.

[scoby6333]

Thanks, you make it easy, i learnt it in about 4 minutes.

[stone0194]

[talcoldone1]

[amstel890]

[JeffKnight]

Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

[RRyyNNee]

[vachief]

..Enjoyed that....it must have taken some time to work through it.

[skipswoman]

hey Check out Crossroads by Paul Reid too

[Claptonlover]

wow this is so good all your videos are you should be signed you r amazing!

[Snotra]

Preety good instruction. The only thing is that strats have sustain of a banjo.

[jknox53]

If you actually teach it instead of just playing it slowly it's easier to learn from. Great playing though

[zivbaziv]

Any effect paddle ??

[MrDanzo711]

Fine job mate! Eric's homage to the great Robert Johnson

[landersonfilms]

its just a sugestion but could you maybe go a little bit more in depth on this one and maybe on some more of your videos because your so spot on at playing but if you dont zoom up most people cant see thanks

[thiger89]

master!

[AXRUNNER]

This is outstanding, you have a great ear.

I hope you do the second part.

[Gel1ebtedesregens]

[Pyro15589]

i no right havent seen 2 b4

[petertorro]

sounds good but can you please send me the tabs

because i could't see your fingers

[SebZoso]

Great great video mate. Nice guitar you have there too.

[benjthorn]

Great tone, great lesson. It's a song I've played for years, but your lesson has helped me to nail certain aspects of the phrasing which weren't spot on. Incredible the tone you can get out of those little VOXs. Very authentic.

Thanks for a great video.

[rock4evaandeva]

great lesson although I don't quite follow your teaching style. Do I watch your fingers closely?

[MarshallAmpMan]

how did you get the tone?  you nailed it.

[JOHNNYG99X]

Well I'm using a strat with humvbuckers which helps a lot. Played through a little digital amp (Vox DA15) on a blues setting, not too much gain.. the rest I think is down to the way I play in terms of phrasing, pick attack etc.

[MarshallAmpMan]

great...only wished you used an SG/Les Paul like Eric did.

[JOHNNYG99X]

Thanks, I would if I had one !!!!

[MayChild8]

@JOHNNYG99X Hey what do you think of fat strat? 

[qdqshred]

i thought clapton used a strat. O.o

either way, sounds great.

[DizzySaxophone]

He does now, but back in his cream days he used a lot of sg's and a es-335 for this I believe.

[piranhatwo]

to add up...he had an SG named the Fool Guitar...something similar to his famous Strat branded Graffitti guitar

[LizzardHunters]

@MarshallAmpMan

Get it straight- Clapton NEVER uses anything but a Fender Strat- his preferred axe is nicknamed "Blackie" (for obvious reasons). Dude is being polite when he says thanks- you obviously don't know your guitars or axemen. You have Slowhand confused with some AC/DC hack or another.

[guitarmac007]

thx sos much

[royconway]

Thanks! you the man!

[filolovejoy]

[circlepick]
