    The cream live crossroads is one of the best of all time. It's incredible. And that is a understatement.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have loved this cut for years and never thought I'd ever be able to start playing it. I, for better or worse am a "mature", 70, beginning guitar player. This break down helped me so much I can't even begin to tell you. Your method is right up my beginning ally. Learn the basic frame work, understand it, then add the little parts to fill the whole cut in. I can't believe the sounds I hear while playing are really coming from me! Be well and safe peace to you and yours.

    Clapton's version at the Cream Reunion Concert at Royal Albert Hall isn't too shabby either. It even had Brian May smiling in the audience. For Clapton this one that everyone knows and loves. Was just another night of improvised guitar virtuosity for him.

    This tune has had me stuck for years. So thankful you are showing it and it makes so much sense now. Looking forward to the solo video although I doubt he played it the same twice.
  • Thanks Justin for all the wonderful music, another superb lesson and have a great Week.PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤.

    Hi Justin - Thanks 👍 What a super tutorial, mate. Another great gem for us. I've been a Cream/EC fan, ever since I got hold of the "Wheels Of Fire" album back in the late sixties and wrote the "Clapton Is God" graffiti absolutely everywhere😮! This tune is a Must learn for all blues lovers and I'm sure a lot of us have tried to nail it, our own way, over the decades. ☮️❤️🎸

    So I might finally l get that turn around correctly. I was closer than I thought but this will be a major upgrade for me. Thanks for posting.
  • @Delzona
    So many great songs to learn! Thank you Justin!
  • @Hoekstes
    I’m def gonna spend some time on this - thanks Justin!

    Haven't checked out a Justin guitar lesson in awhile....when did he start doing tabs on the screen? Anyhow, awesome. I'm on a bit of Cream/Clapton kick here lately. Glad to see this video...
