Steppin' Out

[rlamb007]

Awesome! That was really really really good. I totally enjoyed it. Has the amp been modded at all?

[SixStringsDown]

@rlamb007 Thanks alot rlamb007! No it's a standard hot rod deluxe with a blues driver through the clean channel.

[xsellsbrod]

[lastenglishking]

This is a great track - along with Clapton's take on Freddie King's Hideaway, this is one of my favourite early Clapton pieces. Where did you get the backing track from?

Does anyone know anything of the original James Bracken arrangement of Steppin' Out?

[loudrussell]

where'd this backing track come from?

[FenderBlues91]

Great!

Glad to see someone who still improvises with taste, not all that shred shit...

[freeflymike]

likewise I've been hunting for this back track.Any info appreciated.

enjoyed the clip!

[lastenglishking]

Did you have any luck finding the backing track? I'm still searching. Please let us know if you have found it! Thanks.

[jjeeno]

nice playing, can you tell me where you got this backing track? i cant find it anywhere

[buckleyboyben]

unbelievable playing. I wish I could play like this. Man this is top.

[shroomus]

awesome playing, could you please tell me where you got the backing track for this? I've been looking all over for it. thanks

[jlmnop79]

Very nice. I especially like the little funky rhythmic groove you started at around 0:50.

[sheltonra]

nice , i see a flaw but i suck worse than anyboby

[lastenglishking]

Great stuff - do you know where I can get a recording/clip of the original James Bracken? I'm interested in finding out how Clapton developed the number in the Bluesbreakers and later Cream.

[nhlfan2002]

nice job. you wail hard

[DideeKawaii]

Well i was going to work on the version it have on Cream Vol.2 You should try this out, you definitely got the chops for it.

[chuckhughes2]

You play great, but you changed the main lick. It still works fine.

[timmy47]

very nice. only thing that would make it better is if the tempo was faster like the album version. either way, good playing.

[ROCKYROSIE2]

Shit hot. That'll do me.

[SixStringsDown]

Cheers ROCKYROSIE2 :)

[jjmartinsipos]

That's true soul you got in your playing, very impressive.

[SixStringsDown]

Thanks alot jjmartinsipos :)

[Kassad62]

Excellent !

[stringpicker000]

Excellent playing. If I could play like that, I'd never put my guitar down. Maybe I'll get to see you play at a Blues festival some day...

[axhacker]

Smokin! It's one thing to copy someone else's solo note for note (or try to, anyway!) it's another to make it your own and do it well. You have my respect.

[SixStringsDown]

Cheers axhacker :)

[axhacker]

I have the same amp, by the way. I'm very happy with it. No pedals for me, though.

[SixStringsDown]

Yes the Hot Rod Deluxe is an excellent little amp for the money. The only thing i dont like, are the overdrive channels. They just don't work for my ears. But the clean channel is ace. I've collected loads of pedals over the years, but i think that Boss BD2 is really cool, and driven through the clean channel on the fender, it sounds excellent!! :)

[axhacker]

I'm very satisfied with the overdrive channel but I was thinking perhaps because I'm playing through humbuckers (Epiphone semi-hollow) most times. I do have a Stratocaster (Custom shop 1960 reissue) and the single coils barely have enough "oomph" for the overdrive channel alone (sounds phenomenal on "clean" though!). But I would think the over-wound "Texas Specials" on your "SRV" Strat would get you there on the overdrive by themselves.

[SixStringsDown]

Not really tried a humbuckered(sp) guitar through the fender!! Yes, the texas specials are pretty powerful for single coils, but it's really just an issue of volume. I would have to crank it to stevie ray levels to get it to break up as easy as the boss does! :)

[axhacker]

I don't suggest turnig up to "SRV levels" if you have close neighbors:D (I know I wouldn't mind, though!)

I'd like to hear/see your version of SRV's "Testify."

Play on,SixStringsDown!

[daviemcf]

You do "Steppin' out" Simon, awesome!!

[xenoncam]

Outstanding! Was looking for Clapton, but really enjoyed this one too!

[SixStringsDown]

Thanks alot xenoncam, i appreciate it :)

[SixStringsDown]

Yes john mayall is a legend!!

[johngill]

BTW - I found this by looking for Mayall clips, so long live the big blues man . . . .

[klasek]

Great version of this tune! John Mayall would have hired you without thinking twice!

[SixStringsDown]

Cheers klasek but i think john mayall could take his pick of better guitarists!! lol
