This guy deserves top credit for his Crossroads cover!

RandallFlagg

With my new SG I've been lamely trying to nail Cream's Crossroads, I've got a way to go, listen to this fella, he smashes it, he has the tone and the licks nailed.

Outstanding!

jellyroll

At least he’s not got his weird toes out like on some pedal demos...

Edit - its pretty good

Bends and vibrato not there imo and sounds a bit rushed.  Claptons version feels less rushed

C'mon give him a break, it's miles better than the 2005 Cream reunion version, that's snoozeville:

Hahaha true!

Btw there is a great lesson somewhere on the tube with a female player teaching it. She has the vibrato and bending down really well. See if you can find it. Its excellent

I could've done it better.

Yep well done that man. I bloody love those guitar breaks.

I was hoping for a rendition of Tony Hatch's T.V. theme tune, oh well..........

Check out the start of Del Amitri's ‘Not Where It's At’ for that Crossroads riff...

Jimbro66

Yeah, very accomplished playing on the Crossroads clip but I lost interest before the end. On the other hand DEL AMITRI.....I could listen to them all day

I thought he nailed Jack Bruce’s vocals too.

So thats what a Harley Benton sounds like .

Grumpyrocker

I thought it was a nice cover.

I've never been able to do the turn, but I'm a sausage-fingered hack.

What the “ladies and gentlemen, please, Eric Clapton on vocals” bit?

If you can get past the thrilling personality, the lesson is good!
