CROSSROADS (Cream / Eric Clapton)

[Frisbieinstein]

You've got the tone just about perfect. It almost would have fooled me for the real thing. And I've listened to that solo hundreds of times.

[roby62gtr]

@Frisbieinstein

Thank you so much for these compliments, my friend.

I'm glad and honored.

Regards from Italy.

[roby62gtr]

Probably, it's true!

Thanks for watching and commenting.

[daviegarden]

I'll bet you could play these solos note perfect when you were younger, am I right?

[DudeBearCow]

I think I've seen all of your videos and you have rocked em all. We have the same taste in music and I can certainly appreciate someone who knows how to play it. Keep rocking.

[roby62gtr]

@DudeBearCow

Thank you for your patience!

I'm honored if you like my tastes and my way of playing.

[jasonteten]

@roby62gtr yes of course i like it!upload more blues videos i'll wait for it

[MarshallAmpMan]

This is pretty good...very good...I saw Clapton in Chicago '68 and he played this song, but the chords were all in the first positon not the 5th and 7th frets. When I saw him he played a Firebird and a ES 335.

[roby62gtr]

@MarshallAmpMan

Thank you very much for watching and comenting.

It's true! Eric played Crossroads with chords in first position, but I like to play in my way, 'cause for me it's better to control the sound and the vibrations of the strings.

[rossman265]

great job mate.

what effects are you using

what kind of interface do you use?

[roby62gtr]

@rossman265

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting.

In this video I used:

Gibson Les Paul custom

Peavey Classic 50 amp

Boss Blues Driver II

[l0lercaust]

My Dad heard me playing this from my computer and said you don't sound quite like Clapton, but we both agree it sounds pretty damn good

[LuigiIrace]

quant'è bella la tua "black beauty"... il contorno bianco è di un'eleganza unica !

[roby62gtr]

@LuigiIrace

Caro Luigi, devo rispondere con sincerità al tuo commento.

Questa chitarra non è una Gibson originale. Si tratta di un modello cinese che ho acquistato su internet per pochi euro, dopodichè gli ho messo delle decals della Gibson acquistate su E-Bay.

Posso dirti, però, che il suono non è che poi sia così male, soprattutto se lo strumento viene accoppiato ad un buon ampli (nel mio caso, un Peavey Classic 50 12x2.

Ciaox e grazie per il commento.

[LuigiIrace]

@roby62gtr Non conta... grazie per la sincerità ;)

[nickbarnes8]

never really seen it played like that always thought the rythem and such was played off the A on the second fret, but still works you nailed it!

The Cream version of this tune (on Wheels of fire) is simply the best I've ever heard.

Thanks for commenting.

[45peanuts]

I'll take a look on your videos, ok?

Roberto

[Yearst]

Nice job! What version is that? The vocal is different and I don't hear a lead.

[roby62gtr]

Thanks for watching and commenting.

This is a backing track, not a Cream's version of Crossroads.

[Tueros]

The singer nailed it in the vocals...its very similar to clapton´s

[roby62gtr]

Yes !!!!

He sing very well the Clapton's vocals style.

[oscarwatakero]

felicitaciones toca usted muy bien

cuantos años tiene tocando?

[roby62gtr]

Hola !

Muchas gracias por tu comentario !!!!

I learned to play guitar since I was a child, many years ago :-(

[nickstemoeilijk]

Great playing.

[roby62gtr]

Thanks a lot for your comment.

[nickstemoeilijk]

I play Clapton myself and I know how hard it is... It's such good music though, with a lot of feeling and heart in it.

Your "Sunshine of your love" cover is brilliant. Could you perhaps tell me where you got the tab for it? I play a different version, but it doesn't sound nearly as good as the one you're playing.

[roby62gtr]

Sorry, but I must say you the same thing that I say to other youtube friends: my tabs are my fingers and my heart.

I can only say you to watch my videos, for learn something, or ask me with mails.

Roberto

[rhv777]

Pazzesco! Questa canzone mi ha colpito davvero molto! Ottima esecuzione! Conoscevo i Cream soltanto per la loro "Sunshine of your love", ma dopo questo video mi sa che devo approfondirli un po' di più ;)

Menomale che c'è gente come te che fa rivivere brani che probabilmente le nuove generazioni non ascolteranno più (me compreso, ho 17 anni, ma credo di essere fuori da questo "gruppo" visto che adoro la musica rock dagli albori fino ai giorni nostri) Complimetni!

[roby62gtr]

Grazieee!!!!!

Sono davvero onorato per questo commento, anche perchè proviene da un eccellente collega-chitarrista.

Uno dei motivi per i quali sono qui su Youtube, è proprio questo. Diffondere sempre di più un linguaggio che potrebbe scomparire o inaridirsi e grazie a persone come te, credo proprio che i miei sforzi e quelli di altri della mia generazione, non siano vani.

Grazie ancora e ciao

Roberto

[D3ltaStar]

What a pathetic, pointless video.

Great playing though mate! Five stars!

[roby62gtr]

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting.

[cosimomazzotta]

ecco le cose belle della vita :) il blues, la voce di un giovane Eric, una Les Paul della madonna e il blue-feeling (quello ce l'hai messo tu :)

[roby62gtr]

Grazie, sono davvero onorato per questo tuo commento.

Spero di non deluderti in futuro.

Roberto

[samerika]

great work!

[roby62gtr]

Grazie !!!!

Sono davvero onorato.

Fammi sapere se stai facendo dei passi in avanti e se hai bisogno di qualche modesto consiglio, sono a tua disposizione.

Ciao

Roberto

[hotlegss]

I really love Clapton but the real guitar messiah was black.

Quiet man by the name of Jimi Hendrix.

[chaser559]

dude, you should be in a band... that was some insane guitar playing, i didnt hear one mistake

[roby62gtr]

Thanks very much for your kind comment.

In these weeks, I re-create a blues-rock trio and we hope to play live very soon.

[chaser559]

no problem man, thats awesome, if you guys play live you should record it id love to see that

[roby62gtr]

I'm trying to record a video in the recording room with my band.

Hope to publish something very soon.

[chaser559]

ohh nice

[mak1203136]

hi Roby,

this is by far the best version on youtube...and Clapton is NOT God..just .overrated....and you're far better than him, don't put yourself down, you have talent my friend

[roby62gtr]

Thanks !

I'm very honored to have received your comment but I'm only a cover songs guitar player.

I think that Eric Clapton, now is a himself copy, but in the sixty years and first seventies (his work with J. Mayall, Cream and Derek & The Dominos), he was a very great musician.

[217potato]

That was phenominal.

Eric Clapton could learn a thing or two from you man.

[roby62gtr]

I thank you very much, friend

but remember that Eric Clapton is God

:-)))

Ciao from Italy

Well done !! Does that Les Paul hurt your neck after awhile of standing ? I was thinking of selling mine for that reason. Nice solo !!!

[roby62gtr]

This Les Paul plays very well.

In this moment is my favorite guitar.

Can I buy your LP? :-)))

Thanks very much for your comment.

[dronai]

I thought you were a stratocaster man ?

If I sell it I'll probably regret it.  Your tone in this video is fantastic.
