  • Take the shit music, culture, assholes, the rich man, goverments out of this world today

  • england HAD no draft!

  • Who is the idiot who missed the like button ;-)

  • at 2:24 theres a pic of blind faith at hyde park. only half cream. sors.

    cool vid though,

    u could have had hippie kids burning their draft cards. that would have been c ool and fot in with the proginal message of the song.

  • @LiimLsan Hi Liim, and I don't mean any offense; you just brought a smile to my face in a kind of Yogi Berra way as I am trying to figure out how to halve a trio? Or, are you referring to just how spectacular Jack Bruce's bass playing and singing is that you give him a two plus Clapton a one and Baker a one for four? There are many who would agree with that assessment. Personally, I am such a big Winwood admirer that Blind Faith got a four alone just with him.

  • God is Great

    The Immortal Brook Benton is Great

    clapton is clapton

  • Jack Bruce is incredible

  • A blues harp is always a fourth above the key the band is in. I haven't checked but this sounds like E so the harp would be in A.

  • me and 12 people from my graduating class were drafted, non of us were black

  • 47,041 whites and 7,241 blacks died in vietnam so yeah the truth does hurt when you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

  • Most people are fools. Makes me tired constantly explaining everything to them. Good luck ole-buddy

  • @perfectjames

    Keep looking, I am sure you will find it. But then again you msut know what you are looking for.

  • they was talking about the vietnam war. and how america was sending blacks to die for a country that hates them!

  • no, it was about the draft. not just blacks.

  • lol! the truth hurts dont it buddy

  • i agree about sending blacks to nam, it was wrong to do. but the song is about the draft.

  • @bjorkkody Hey, they drafted anyone that couldn't afford college and was poor and not an only child.

  • @TheMidnightBell07

    yeah, i know what it was about. i know who they drafted. that comment was some guy talking about how the govt only sent blacks to Nam and i told him this is protesting the draft, not just the drafting of blacks. so, i know who they drafted. my uncle was almost drafted until they discovered he had flat feet.

  • @bjorkkody Hey, I do to that's why I commented.

  • Forrest Gump?

  • Jack, Eric and Ginger are all singers but it's Jack who sings here . . . he has a amazing voice

  • Why on my favorites bands for sure!

  • The vocalist is Jack Bruce. Why show Clapton at the microphone. Jack sings it all. Clapton still snarhoofin from Jack?

    Whoever posted this needs to give their head a shake.

  • Whoever is playing harp, it is definitely a "G" harp.

  • gangsta'

  • must find more good old songs iiiiiORK!!!

  • the "4th" is an interval - you take the 4th note of the major scale of the key in question, for example, the major scale of E goes...E - F# - G# - A! So guitar in E, use "A" harmonica.

  • i love the harmonica in these old rock songs and what not xD

    u just dont really hear much of that sorta stuff anymore =/

  • Great punchline,giantrobotjerbill,I'­d forgottten His Bobness' wonderful remark.

  • "take that thing out of here" ha ha ha good !

  • ceams anti vietnam song ;o)

  • really?!

    I've learnt something today

  • harmonica is key of E, good example led zep song the leeves going or whatever its called. jimmy goes to open E to match with harmonica

  • what key harmonica?

  • I have no idea,

  • @sjakie4 when i solo to it it's i play in A on guitar

    i'm not sure, i've never learned this song i mostly sing it

    i juts love yelling "TAKE IT BACK"

    take it bakc motherfuckers, i got this need this need to stay alive

  • @sjakie4 i think is in key of g

  • @sjakie4 key of g

  • @sjakie4 cross harp baby

  • if it's in the key of E blues, then you use an A harmonica. It works like this: the harmonica you use for a blues song would be in the key of the fourth scale degree up from the blues key. Unless you're bob dillon; "hey bob, you sure it's in the right key?" "eh, it's a harmonica-"

  • Comment removed

  • Jack Bruce is definitely playing a G "harp" in this song.

  • nobody play harmonica? wot about horner marine key of 'c' works for me????

  • while singing?

  • Whoever is playing the harp, It is definately A "G" harp

  • @titostacos I was trying to figure that out as well. It's three chords: D, A, G. I would guess a harmonica in D.

  • @eROCtele scrath that, G harmonica

  • @titostacos G since it's in the key of D and you'll need to play crossharp.

  • @titostacos song's scale key is in A major, so you'd want to use the IVth of the major scale to figure out which harmonica to use in most blues like this. The IVth of the A major is D, so you would use a Harmonica tuned to D major for this song, in order to get the same phrasing as Jack is getting. There are other ways to go about it for blues playing, but using the IV is the easiest.

  • @ddecto OK thanks. 

  • The song here is played in the key of D. Otherwise you are correct in saying the key of the harmonica would typically be in the IV (4th) of the key the toon is played in.  That would put the harp for this toon in the key of G'. When I say 'typically' however, not being a harp player, I wouldn't be surprised that because this is a 'major' country blues toon, the harp could be in another key altogether.

  • @Tribaldick lol he wrote that like a year ago, doubt he cares now or he has had it figured out by now.

  • @titostacos: i thinK in G...

  • @titostacos If you are playing this in D you would use a G harp...

  • i tink the intro sounds like johnny b goode lol

  • for the first seconds, bruce looked like paul mccartney
