Crossroads

By: Cream

Hey guys.  This is a song that was voted for by Patrons on my Patreon page and I want to thank you guys for your support.  I think this was an excellent choice and I had loads of fun getting this one down note for note.

Just one particular note I’d like to make about the song.  During the verses, I heard Clapton palm muting at different times and also switching up between using pull offs/hammer ons and picking every note.  I think the goal here is to get a general idea of what he’s doing and feel it out for yourself.  As opposed to memorizing exactly every spot that he’s doing this.  If you miss a palm mute or hammer on here or there, no big deal.  Get the riff down and have fun with it!

I really feel that this is a great tune for any aspiring blues player.  What are some other essential blues tunes you’d like to see on the page?

Isolated TRACKS (mp3)

Here are the drums, bass and other background tracks to jam along to Crossroads. I've also included all of my isolated guitar tracks in case you really want to hear what's going on. Isolated tracks are normally very difficult to find online, and can be very helpful in cracking a difficult solo tab.
