Could be worse, some ailments here and there, but I hope age is just a number like some people say :lol:
But I need more time to play :music2:

Sad but beautiful! :pray:
Jeff would be proud of it. Completely different to his version, but fits the song well. Great tone. :clap:

Re: crossroad birmingham

EC on his epic solo from Wheels of Fire:
"Most of ['Crossroads'] solo is on the wrong beat, instead of playing on the 2 and the 4, I’m playing on the 1 and the 3 thinking, that’s the off beat."

Sounds as if he now tries to fix this. :big_smile:

Re: Blasphemous blues question: Light-hearted blues songs recommendations?

"Blues is a good man feeling bad", so there are not many really happy blues songs out there. But there are a lot of songs in a major key, which may be what you are searching for, like Sweet Home Chicago. :bb: You may also look at BB King, who preferred major scales on most of his songs lik...

Re: Clapton -album blues- before acusse me( take 1)

Hi and welcome, sorry for the late answer.
Sounds as if EC played it in A (A,D,E) instead of E in his acoustic versions. Chord progression is simple Blues.
The acoustic one is tabbed here: https://12bar.de/cms/albums/unplugged/# ... ouAccuseMe

Re: Hi all

In my country retirement starts with 67, but my plan is to quit earlier with a little less money.
More time to play, I hope. Less time than before, others say. :lol:
