greghagger Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Cream Live- Crossroads - 1968 - San Francisco I can just imagine the impact this song had on the packed crowds. It must have been pretty incredible at the time when Cream were in full flow. If like me you’ve play this song live and tried to play Jack Bruce’s bass line, you’ll know what a masterpiece it is. It might be one of the most iconic but misplayed bass lines ever! I’ve transcribed the first six choruses note for note and drawn up a PDF. I’ve also made a lesson to show you how to play the main riff and some of Jack Bruce’s licks and ideas. If you want a more manageable bass line then try my simplified version that will work over the whole song I hope you have fun with this one and let me know your favourite Cream bass line. I’m up for transcribing more Jack Bruce! https://youtu.be/XikwAdJIHBk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
