Jam Track 23 - Clapton Style Cream Open Strings

In this video

This riff captures the blues-rock sound of Eric Clapton's Cream era, using the neck pickup and the Katana’s ‘brown sound’ channel settings for that rounder, bluesy tone.

The pattern moves across strings, starting from open A and repeats exactly the same fingering from open D and open E.

Main Learning Points:

  • Boss Katana brown sound setting with EQ and gain at 5/10 (neutral)

  • Handshake fingering position for blues playing and future string bending

  • Bonus lead riff as an interlude!

  • Introduction to vibrato technique using middle finger support
