Strange Brew Ver 5 by Cream
Cream - Strange Brew ver 5 guitar tab
This is Strange Brew, the first tune on Disreali Gears by Cream.
For those who don't know, Cream was one of the first bands to expirement with hard rock as
we know it today, and their guitarist was Eric Clapton, also known as a god.
This is agreat tune to learn for anyone interested in getting into blues rock.
There's a;ready one decent version of this song on the internet, but it has some flaws, and it's
missing the solos.
The way to get Eric's fuzzy tone is by setting the pickup selector in the middle and turning
the tone knob down for the rhythm, or neck pickup.
Eric solos in A minor.
