Nice Job Tom, you got the Clapton groove nailed.

I liked the arrangement and playing, but the ol' Silver Creek sounded a little more jangly than usual on this one. Maybe it was some of the chords used.

Still, this is one I think I gotta learn me. I love Clapton.

I just put new strings on (I actually like them better after a few weeks of break-in). The others had been on since I changed the tuners, about 7 months ago. Also a "trick" chord in there that Clapton uses a lot.

For Em: 022450

You get a low E and two high E's

Nice vibe. I have one of those T-170's myself. Great little guitar for the money. Well played.

Thanks, and I agree. These T-170s a a great bargain. I play the 000-28EC model it's cloned after at GC, and frankly I prefer the T-170. It sounds better in person than on my videos, recorded with the built-in mic of an old Sony cam in video mode. It's less muddy than the EC model IMO, and louder.
