dude, you nailed it , wow, how long you take to figure out something like that?

the lighitng glare off the fretboard makes it so hard to see where you're fingering though---for a hacker are you mostly at V, then ...? pentatonics?

[Yearst]

@Petrom714 Thanks. It's mostly A minor pentatonic, then some A maj pentatonic in the chorus. Probably took a month or more of everyday practice to get, then another month to really have it..The solos on that album are pretty straightforward.

the only reason no one can and or will ever cover this song and the solos note for not is due to the fact the band was all high at the time.

good effort tho

[Yearst]

@hhg61 For sure. And Dowd went crazy with cut and paste.

Amazing job. Is it allman or Clapton doing the 2nd solo

[Yearst]

@shaneguitartennis Once I thought it was Clapton, WAY back in high school, then realized later it's Duane. But then the live versions came out without Duane. Clapton plays the same musical line live, same patterns, almost note for note. He never mimics other players' solos but plays his own. Thus the holy wars began of people who want it to be Duane, people who want it to be Eric :)

[mul211]

You nailed it completely. Good job.

@josipml5 Yup. Amaj played over Amaj7 and Dmaj7 chords, hanging around the 7ths (G# and C#). I think :)
