    Hey guys. This is a song that was voted for by Patrons on my Patreon page and I want to thank you guys for your support. I think this was an excellent choice and I had loads of fun getting this one down note for note.
    Just one particular note I’d like to make about the song. During the verses, I heard Clapton palm muting at different times and also switching up between using pull offs/hammer ons and picking every note. I think the goal here is to get a general idea of what he’s doing and feel it out for yourself. As opposed to memorizing exactly every spot that he’s doing this. If you miss a palm mute or hammer on here or there, no big deal. Get the riff down and have fun with it!
    I really feel that this is a great tune for any aspiring blues player. What are some other essential blues tunes you’d like to see on the page?

      as I recall Clapton was treated like a guitar god when the first 'supergroup' Cream formed in 1966 ... until Jimi Hendrix first played onstage in London on 1 Oct 1966 and Eric was backstage trying to light a cigarette with trembling hands ... "I'm dead" ...
