EXAMPLE4 70s Strat solo

ELike Layla and Bell Bottom Blues, we are using the bridge and middle pickup mix – this time for another solo. The thinner, twangier sound of the single-coils lends itself to a more rhythmic, funky approach, with much less gain than the Gibson through Marshall days. Many of the licks and trademarks are there, but this is a very different Clapton, almost deliberately distancing himself from his previous ‘God-like’ approach.
