A STUDENT OF MINE WANTED TO LEARN --CROSSROADS-- LIVE AT THE FILLMORE--
ERIC CLAPTONS MOST FAMOUS GUITAR SOLO.
NOW-KEEP IN MIND IM AT HIS HOUSE USING HIS AMP--
THE SOUND OF MY GUITAR IS NOTHING LIKE THE SOUND I GET WITH MY AMP SYSTEM--WHEN I PLAY CLAPTON-MY SOUND IS EXACTLY LIKE HIS-NO MATTER WHAT ERA OF HIS MUSIC----
WHEN I TEACH CLAPTON--AND YOU WATCH THE 2 SOLOS IN CROSSROADS IM PLAYING--WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS " EXACTLY " WHERE CLAPTON PLAYED EVERY NOTE---WHERE MY FINGERS ARE-CLAPTONS FINGERS WERE---
CLAPTON IS VERY SELECTIVE IN HIS CHORDING IN THIS SONG.THERES NOT TO MUCH OF IT. THE MAIN LEAD GUITAR YOUR HEARING- IS MY GUITAR -OVER CLAPTONS-.LOUD ENOUGH- TO DROWN HIM OUT AND HEAR BASICLY ONLY ME. YOU CAN HEAR BRUCE AND BAKER QUITE WELL FORTUNATLY.---- THIS IS THE WAY ERIC ACTUALLY PLAYED THE SOLOS.WHERE MY HANDS ARE--ERIC CLAPTONS HANDS WERE.. THIS IS THE MOST- AUTHENTIC- CROSSROADS LESSON VIDEO YOU WILL EVER SEE. SOUND,FEELING ,VIBRATO,SLURING ARE THE KEY FACTORS HERE.--- ENJOY***JOE~T***---
CONSIDER THIS A "FREE "LESSON FROM***JOE~T***THE ENGLISHBLUESMAN.

  • Thanks for the lesson Joe. I have been playing my own version of that solo for a long time and still learned a couple of riffs where I was off. You can see a couple of my clips on my channel - I play this style regularly and Clapton was a big influence for me.

  • @EJwannabe hey--you play very well--i love thrill is gone and your sound--is great----sound is a major factor-and you have it----keep up the great work**JOE~T*ENGLISHBLUESMAN**

  • Hey Joe T, Perfect!!! Now can you do it in slo- mo so we can copy it? lol Johnny in NYC.

  • @goodfella4759 ill see what i can do--jt

  • This was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, not the Fillmore.

  • @Malendrinu this was recorded at the FILLMORE WEST,CALIF.

    the record it first was on was ,WHEELS OF FIRE.

    it states where it was recorded.

  • JOE T IS THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER I BELIEVE TODAY.HE CAPTURES THE AUTHENTIC FEELINGS OF CLAPTON-BECK-PAGE-HENDRIX-BLOO­MFIELD,AS NO OTHER COULD POSSIBLY DO.PLAYERS LIKE JOHN MAYER,KENNY WAYNE AND OTHER WANNABE LEGEND GUITAR-PLAYERS----ARE A FRACTION OF WHAT JOE T IS.

    ALSO THIS IS THE BEST CROSSROADS LESSON VIDEO IN THE WORLS.

    I BELIEVE-EVEN CLAPTON HIMSELF ,COULDN'T PLAY THIS SONG AS GOOD AS MR. JOE T THE ENGLISH BLUESMAN.

  • I wish I could learn this guitar solo as easy as I could learn piano. My dad can play it though!! :D I shall learn off him weeee!!! thsank you dad for being an amazing guitarist who can pick things up by ear!!!!

  • Very well done .

  • Thank you for this video. One of my students wanted to learn this solo and we figured it out together by watching your video. You are very talented.

  • Really great - very enjoyable and well done. Very impressive playing plus your tone was superb. I've been playing Rock/Blues for nearly 40 years and wish I could play nearly as well! Lovely paint job on your SG too (from what I could see) Many thanks to you for this video.

  • That's the best version of Crossroads by a mile !! thanks !

  • NO ONE CAN PLAY THIS SONG LIKE JOE T, I DOUBT IF EVEN CLAPTON CAN.

  • Where did you get that Guitar?

    Priceless

  • great, im a big clapton fan, that was perfect, you made it look easy. tone souns just like him
