When Eric Clapton walked onstage at Winterland on March 10, 1968 with his fellow Cream band mates, I am sure he didn’t realize how much that one performance would become one of his most defining moments. Eric Clapton’s scorching live version of Robert Johnson’s blues classic “Crossroads” was the highlight of the show. The solos Eric Clapton plays in Cream’s “Crossroads” are recognized as some of the greatest ever played, no small feat for a live performance. In this video guitar lesson series you will learn “Crossroads” by Cream note-for-note. All of the rhythms and solos are broken down in a step-by-step and easy to follow format. This is one classic performance every guitar player should know! Good luck!!
