EXAMPLE2 Bluesbreakers/Cream solo

Playing a Gibson Les Paul, SG or 335 through a cranked Marshall gave Eric an even fuller, more aggressive sound in the later 60s. Confidently entering with those unison bends, watch for details like vibrato depth and speed – it’s a little fiercer than the earlier stuff. More quarter-tone bends and a rhythmic but relaxed feel with some traditional blues motifs thrown in (like bars 11-12) are the order of the day.
