Notes

Live performance at Staples Center, Los Angeles, August 2001; as seen in 'One More Car, One More Rider' video. Clapton's signature Strat with mid-boost circuit, into a Fender Tweed Twin reissue. No evidence of additional pedals in this era for solos, but mid-boost is used for lead tones.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced blues phrasing, fast runs, expressive bends, and dynamic control, especially when using the mid-boost circuit for sustain and touch sensitivity.
