In today’s video we’ll cover a lick that Eric Clapton uses in the Cream recording of, “Spoonful”…

And while he didn’t use it as a slow blues lick, or even really as a blues lick at all, it’s a great example of how to get some serious mileage out of a simple, 4 note pattern (also box 1.)

This lick also shows up in my, “Cream Era Clapton Soloing Workshop.” And if you want a fun song lesson, check out my “Sunshine Of Your Love” Workshop.

      I thought licks were supposed to be really hard.
      You broke it down to easy-peasy 😀
