“White Room” and “Tales Of Brave Ulysses” were originally intended to be on Disraeli Gears but Atlantic Records’ owner, Ahmet Ertegun, reckoned they were too similar, so “White Room” was held over until Wheels Of Fire :) Brilliant lesson! 🎸👍

Back in 1968, after buying the Wheels Of Fire album, Cream became my favourite power trio/super group and still today, 55 years on, I'm getting goosebumps all over, when listening to White Room. BBC number One: Bruce (RIP), Baker (RIP) and Clapton = CREAM Thanks for this excellent video, Doug. ☮️❤️🎸

Little-known fact: It was originally the wah-wah-wah pedal, however in this sped-up world of ours it was shortened to 'wah-wah'....soon to be referred to as a 'wah pedal.' After that, who knows? 🤪 EXCELLENT vid, Doug!!!

Excellent guitar work!! And I know how difficult it is to teach a solo with big bends while playing a wah!! You're right though, Clapton was such a master at his phrasing. Man, he was off the charts in that Cream/Blind Faith era..and you could see it approaching in the Yardbirds and Bluesbreakers period. Also, love your passion. I can tell you just love Clapton, as I do!! Thanks for a great tutorial.

Great job! I’ve spent lots of time ever since that song came out in 68 (I was 15!) and perfected my version over the decades… I never copy a solo note for note but try to capture the essence and signature licks… Same for Crossroads and Sunshine too!

What a genius solo this was - absolutely exquisite - thanks for replicating it - not many people have. I 1st heard White Room on radio when I was 18 back in 1983 - the guitar playing blew my mind. Clapton is an all time great - no one had played guitar like this before - Sure, Hendrix probably took it somewhere else, but Clapton started it. Amen to Mr Clapton !

Dood! Great lesson. Thankx for that. Ya know, you might not be too far off with the Les Paul. I've long had a sneaking suspicion that EC used a Black Beauty on a lot of studio cuts from that Cream era. Of course, I can't prove it.... but man, when I listen to Sunshine of Your Love, I can hear it -- something darker, cleaner, fatter, and more mellow than an SG. I read him saying that he chose maple board Strats because he really disliked the rosewood boards on his Gibsons, and that his favourite were the ebony boards. Maple was the closest to ebony, which is what the Black Beauties have.

It's these long creative solos that I rank Clapton higher than Page. I've never heard Jimmy play something extended and soulful for more than a few fast runs. Live, Eric can improvise and just keep going for like an hour - not as fast, but who cares about speed - it's about phrasing and feeling each note - at least for me. I get attacked for this, but that's just my observation
