| Cream — Stormy Monday @whart Elmore James was pretty notorious for a highly juiced (overloaded) sound--something that Duane Allman picked up on. Duane stated his main influence for slide tone and phrasing was actually Blues harmonica players... which makes sense a... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday @soix Apparently he can have his opinions but you’re not entitled to yours — hypocrisy. Good grief. Apparently so... | |
| Accurate Sibilants: The Ultimate Audio Challenge? I don’t know why either, but agree that it’s one characteristic that can become the least tolerable, and can quickly motivate a music change or even a system change if it’s prevalent. Tell me about it... I'm still trying to figure out how to ex... | |
| Hegel H120 a good pairing with Heritage Cornwalls? I would not describe Hegel as warm. My H390 is reputed to be the "warmest" in their line but this is only comparatively speaking. It's a very neutral presentation to my ears. I fear the op will be disappointed if he's depending upon a Hegel (espec... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday @tablejockey I don't see what you're objecting you re: my comment about playing the tune as a I/IV/V, given that it was just an opinion. I never claimed it was gospel truth! In matters of esthetics, there will always be differing opinions. How t... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday I have a guitar playing buddy who prefers "You don’t Love Me" played straight, like on J. Mayall’s "A Hard Road" while I much prefer it swung like the Allmans did it. The nature of the Blues allows for many different interpretations of what might ... | |

| Cream — Stormy Monday @tablejockey I didn’t hear T Bone’s version until many years after I heard the Live at Fillmore East version and I still tend to view the B. Bland/Allmans arrangement as my baseline for comparisons. Played as a generic I/IV/V, the tune always so... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday @zlone Something special happens on that one. Yes! On the DVD, Clapton announces "I think we're going to play every tune we know". Of course, they didn't. Due to age, EC can be forgiven for having forgotten some but nevertheless, I wish th... | |
| Favorite Obscure Rock Song I love "Station Man" and love Danny Kirwan’s playing, both from that period and earlier with P. Green. I’ve started working it out on guitar several times but never managed to learn it all the way through. Not really sure what qualifies as "obscu... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday Different strokes. Personally, I’ve always preferred the B.B. Bland/Allman Bros. arrangement. FWIW, my favorite performance and favorite Clapton guitar work from the Albert Hall reunion gigs is this version of "We’re Going Wrong". As much as I l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jdougs ... and don't forget bassist Eddie Gomez! | |
| Music Doesn't Get Better Than This. @jjbeason14 A great demonstration of the self-sufficient nature and emotive power of the acoustic guitar... ...but maybe only a guitar player would say that. ;o) | |
| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is Embeddings controls 🤣 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Wish I could say the same. Still, there are a handful that are not overly "ornamented" in this regard that I enjoy. |
