[@grampstries]

Thanks so much!

From 1966 to 1976 music in this country was at its zenith! Clapton playing Robert Johnson doesn't get any better. CREAM WAS A MONSTER!

[@grampstries]

Agreed, and thanks for watching Gramps Tries!

[@mikeflynn248]

Gramps; You are a bad man on the guitar! How about a little Hendrix next time man. Maybe try Red House for some pure delta blues? Love your taste and style. I might be older than you and it gives an old man inspiration as well as great memories. Stay cool big daddy! @@grampstries

[@peterwebb2542]

What has "not the exact licks" got to do with it.I'm eighty and been playing Clapton stuff for years.I've never copied or tried to copy ony of his licks.I've always tried to put my own stamp on things.Much of this guys riffs are as good if not better than Claptons.

[@rupe53]

@@peterwebb2542 ... it means he didn't do an exact copy, which is part of taking a little artistic license and being creative. BTW, I can play the "grouchy old guy" card too... but I don't feel like going there today.

4:10 time I heard Cream's version was at a high school dance, after a football game. About 1969... The second solo put a chill up my spine. Still does. Can't call you gramps. We're likely the same age!

Loved that you didn't do it note for note. Your take was strong and fit perfectly. Especially liked the lead about 3:25 when you were digging in. It really felt like it was from your soul, not your brain. It's great when we can lose ourselves into bliss for just a bit. Great job.
