This Free Online Guitar Lesson is Crossroads by Cream with Eric Clapton.
I started dreaming of the guitar around then, and I didn't start playing till age 12. By the time I was 14 I was playing whatever version of crossroads I could muster.
Once again I have to thank Steve Maase for being probably the greatest guitar teacher in the world. We were and still are lucky to have Steve in Albuquerque New Mexico.

The greatest guitar solo of it's time, it had everything, even Hendrix was mesmerised by Cream. The interesting thing about this solo is if you learn to play it, it will teach you everything you can do on a guitar (apart from tapping and whammy bar techniques). It will teach you double stops, double bends, slides, hammer ons, pull offs, vibrato etc. I also believe this is the most complete solo Clapton ever performed, it's melodic, intense, fast, accurate, and had every single thing in it Clapton knew how to do at the time.Tim pays a nice homage to Clapton at the end of the solo, but Claptons end solo is incredible!
The weird thing is that Clapton didnât like it. He said he screwed up the timing a couple of times. I agree with you though!
Actually Clapton was mesmerized by Jimi. Never the other way around. All pentatonic.ala 90% of Clapton.
@@jimkostan9932 Jimi was humble and respected his peers, you can find the interviews
@@jimkostan9932 Nonsense. Jimi spoke for himself.
I just think this gentleman is a very very great guitarist and seems to teach extremely well.Respect Sir.
That solo itself may have been one of the best I've seen. Thank you Tim.
Tim is the gold standard of guitar tutorials. Out of the gate, he draws you in with his seamless playing. Then he breaks it down, methodically, patiently; and with his infectious joy for playing.
Ah Men... đđ€
It is is humble in his genius that works my heart and soul. Natural musicians like Lord Pierce were ALWAYS my heroes- because despite my serious conservatory and university music lessons- natural musicians like Lord Pierce and the love in their ears and hearts trumped my academic music training⊠amen.
â@@fullwaverecked â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
Dead on ! No way to say it better . Always soulful playing by Tim as shown by that broad deep smile when he cuts loose
Agreed!
That's probably the best CZcams teaching I've used. No bollocks... Straight to the point! Perfect.
I love the smile he gets on his face every time he plays an insane solo. Heâs good and he knows it but he still seems like a nice guy.
I got a totally different impression. When he smiles it looks to me like heâs really enjoying playing,not like âI know Iâm badassâ type smile. Who knows but him I guess
I think of all of the guitar solos over the years this solo, more than any, is a "must learn exactly like the record". It's that iconic and beloved and I'm sure you've more than done your part In helping people do that..thanks Tim !
This was the first song and solo I ever learned, and was back in 1986. The tablature arrived in a guitar player magazine and I just poured over it. I have forever been glad that I learned it, because everything else following wasn't too tough and paved the way for me to learn other player's guitar styles. After this song, I went deeply into Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and the three Kings.
Tim is just the best. So calm and mellow when explaining and giving alternatives on way making you believe in yourself that anything is possible. Having not played electric guitar for thirty years my plectrum skill has deserted me so I use right hand finger picking throughout. We do what we have to do!
I never saw a guitarist more smiling when playing then Tim Pierce. Tim you are amazing ... thx for your lessons. Helped me a lot.
I bow to the interpretive and technical chops of this Mr Tim Pierce and his ears.
Hi Tim I grew up with Clapton and have always been a big fan, but I have to say your solo was absolutely superb , and what I love is you can see by your face you are really enjoying yourself. You are truly a great player all the best to you from the UK!
7 years ago and this still one of the most badass lessons on CZcams to this day.
Tim, I've been listening to you for a couple months now and I have to say, I believe you are probably the best guitar player I've ever seen, Ever.. Bar none. Your knowledge of the guitar is phenomenal and when you play, you sound Awesome!! Everything is spot on, timing wise and you put everything in the right place... I repeat, You are the best I've ever seen. You Are Awesome!!!
One of the greatest guitar solos of all time! Played live! Amazing! Thanks Tim!
I've always looked for the nuances to this masterpiece of guitar and just found It. Being a life long hobbyists guitar player this is one I've strived to nail. Your lesson is the key for me. Much thanks!
Been playing guitar, (self taught) for 45+ yrs. Still enjoy playing. Always a Good day, or rather a Better day when I pick up something new that enhances my vocabulary. My vocabulary Most times is enhanced after watching one of Tim's CZcams videos. Thanks a bunch Tim!
Masterful lesson and teaching. I have ALWAYS loved the "3 phrase" D7 part of this rhythm and the "skip" feel - you articulated this very well.
absolutely amazing....I must have listened to this at least 100 times and I can't stop smiling afterward.
That was always one of my favorite Clapton songs. Truly, with so many to choose from it's hard to pick one.
Anyway, this guy nails it and I have a whole new appreciation for EC.
Good job đ
Great job Tim. I've been playing this song for 55 years, and love the approach you have given us.
Hey Tim,
I enjoy watching you play stuff. Your easy on the ears, you seem to have it all ... Good phrasing, and most of all a modest positive attitude that is admirable.
everything beautiful... the choice of the song, the sound, the guitar, the joy in your face playing... great inspiration đđđ
TIM, I have been watching all of your recent vids and always look forward to the latest post by you. But when I saw your Jimi vids and your ZZ vids and your Cream vids, I didn't think it could get any better. Yours are the most accurate and I appreciate that you share the knowledge. Thanks.
The whole idea , â in time and in tempo â . Make it your own then swing it around. The whole idea. The most prophetic words I have heard in a long time.
Fantastic musician,amazing feeling.Tim was born to play guitar,he knows how to make a guitar sound great.Phenomenal Artist !
This is really an incredible tutorial! I like that you go into every small detail of the song without repeating everything again and again. Thank you very much!
This is a great lesson in that it provides tons of jump off points for building your own solo. I find this lesson - and your lessons in general great for providing a foundation or reference point to fall back on when creating my own licks. If I can't master a certain lick, I work something else out using this as a sort of home base if you will. Just awesome - thanks for posting these lessons!
Thanks Tim, this really helps in my study of Clapton's Cream era playing. It is very useful in grasping the combining of Major and Minor scales.. Your lessons are much appreciated. Clapton's playing during that time is an education in blues/rock guitar. Thought I would never grasp the Major/Minor thing, but the light is coming on for me thru lessons like this. Great teaching and playing, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Tim for the patience, knowledge, insight and the gentle artistic approach you take with these great vids!
Your sound, technique, personality all add up to an unrivalled exponent of rock and blues. Thx for sharing your secrets and talent.
Always love you lessons and the stuff you show us. Thank you Tim.
It is a gift to be able to play so well. It is a gift to be able to teach well. You are one of the few great players who also is a great teacher. Thanks for the lesson!
even though I have played this song for years I tend to do it my own way with a Clapton influence. figured I would pop on here to see what I could improve and you gave me several good ideas. thank you!
Makes me wish had learned this solo back when I was copping Clapton licks. Iâve got to get back into the learning groove. Tim, YOUâRE SO GOOD!
The guys in my band have asked to put this in the set, naturally the algorithm has brought my favourite session player up. Iâll never play it like Tim but this is certainly the best reference to learn from
The best Example so far for me of this great song..I learned something here, I wished you lived next door Tim, I`d drop by everyday...Thanks so much for posting.
SUPERFANYASTIC TIM!! You are the man!!!
So patient and detailed! Much appreciated. Thank you!!!
Great chops, simple to follow, and well explained... thank you Sir Tim!
Tim, great lesson. These licks are so ingrained in our musical thought that it's easy to forget the chops needed to reproduce them.
This solo is Clapton greatest of all time..I saw David Hildago ,Los Lobos on New Years Eve at the Filmore West..do this note for note...a great time for all.Thanks for this post greatly appreciated.
Wow! What a GREAT player! This is my first exposure to one of your lessons. Your ability to break things down into understandable chunks is incredible! It would be easy to get completely LOST while trying to learn these licks, but you provide immediate clarity - and in such a concise manner. I'll be checking out more of your lessons soon. Thank you so much!
You sir are a giant. Wow what a wake up call. Really enjoyed that lesson. I am a 70 year old retired muso still kicking and doing gigs . And living the dream. U take care please donât stop, regards martin
Thank you for this helpful lesson, Tim!
Tim, that is literally my dream man cave. You are living the dream Tim. Making a living by playing the guitar must be one of the best feelings ever. I would wake up everyday thinking yes! I have work today. Keep on rocking Tim, I really appreciate your videos.
Hey Tim! I really enjoy your videos. Thank you! I am actually a drummer that's played for 30+ years and learning guitar and bass to eventually record my own stuff and I have learned so much from your tutorials. Thanks again. Cheers!
Love your style of playing and teaching! I get impatient (and confused) with every string, fret and finger numbers that some YT teachers recite for every darn note. Just watching you play, with the way you break it down, is perfect for me.
Thanks again.
LOVE how you're always smiling in your videos Tim, can tell you love playing, and it makes the video a joy to watch and learn from! Don't stop :)
Jake Gill Thanks Jake! :) #crossroads
Tim - you are an amazingly gifted player and teacher
You are one hell of a great guitar player and teacher. More power to you. That part you said you used to play the ending riff, is exactly the way I do- until I saw what you showed patiently in this video. Thank you very much.
Wow!!!! Thatâs drop the mic stuff right there! What a way to open a lesson up!
Thanks for these Tim. I love your style. Very fluid and you teach it so well. I'm actually really inspired when you talk about the areas where you struggled. Makes me feel like there's hope for me. ha!
Sounds great Tim! And it's also very cool to see how much fun you have while playing! Keep up and thanks for sharing.
Tim as always your instructions are so clear and full of details. Thanks so much for sharing.
Love just listening to you play Tim, the lessons are great and I love learning them but sometimes it's just so cool just watching you play, you look like you are have so much fun and you play so naturally, it's so great. Thanks for what you do for us all Tim! -buddy

Thank you being clear and concise both in your style and your lesson!
i have been playing this tune for years, different versions, my own versions and yours kicks ass. I play the rhythm the same but you walk through the scale like Eric himself showed you. Very nice, thanks
Thank you Tim. I do appreciate your generosity and expertise. I'm learning a lot from you.
Nice work Tim !!! Man you are smooth.. Thanks.
Brilliant! !!!!!
we all know this , but Tim is one of the best , maybe the best in my opinion , Respect !!!!
Shane from England ....
Had my best results playing the D7 arpeggio with hybrid picking... pick for the A and D, and middle finger for the F# on the high E string. Love your take on the 3 lead sections!!
Such a good teacher.
beautiful playing with teaching,thanks
So pure......
That is one beautiful guitar !!!,,, Tim is simply awesome !!! đđžđđ„đ„đ„
The phrasing is spot-on. Fantastic
I've been watchin' you solo more than 20 times the last days, it's really honey for my ears.. Will try to tab and learn it, I know what to do with my guitar for the next months :-) Thanks again !
Looking for a tutorial to learn to play Crossroads... see a Tim Pierce one (sweet)... click... then BAM! WOW!!!!! That solo. Haven't picked up the guitar yet, just keep listening to that intro over & over! Thank you for that stunning ear candy!
I agree with Kraven, excellent as always. You seem to always have a great time playing and teaching.
Doug Collins Glad you like it thanks Doug! #crossroads
Great lesson and you make them very easy to learn from, direct and to the point without a bunch of useless fluff!
Great tutorial especially the lick part going into the turn around at 8:39. Thanks
I came to this video to learn that second part of the intro. But I keep coming back to hear you rip that solo. I love it. Seriuosly so good. Hypes me up to play my sunburst ES too!
Wow, that solo literally melted my face.
This is amazing. It's one of those tracks I thought I couldn't play but after watching this I can't believe my progress. Thanks Tim
Really enjoyed the lesson Tim this one of my all time favorite tracks by Cream. You've broken it down it manageable chunks, thanks again great lesson cheers Gary
amazing musician and teacher thank you!
Nice to see someone play the thing they're going to teach first up. So many don't. Great playing and an excellent tutorial.
How beautifully explained!
You're guitar collection amazes me just as much as your awesome playing! Love these videos Tim!
Wow man! You are so gifted my friend!
Thanks for all the useful stuff you teach Tim!... Let me say I that I just can't get tired of hearing you play! Thanks for giving us music!
Miguel Mejia Thanks for subscribing! :) #crossroads
Your such a great teacher thankyou for all your hard work. Mel from New Zealand
You are one of my favorite guitarists Tim. Thanks for taking the time to do these!
Cool, Tim. That's the best tone of any guitar I've seen you play in your vides. Sweet!!
Thanks! Love your tutorials
Excellent! Love your enthusiasm man! Thanks for sharing your craft and please continue.
Great lesson..God bless you Tim Pierce and Thanks...
Thanks for this awesome lesson!
đđ just incredible playing
Tim, super cool! Thanks for sharing đđ€©
The original is a classic, and for it's time, altering. You play it so smoothly when you do it homage. When you start to improvise you retain the phrasing cadence a just kill it with your improvisation. Thank you for sharing.
this is just about my favorite lesson of yours, Tim! thank you!
Is there a moment when you were learning guitar, that your teacher or someone pointed out something that you were doing wrong, like how you were holding your pick, etc..that changed everything? I watch these and of course say "wow" like 99.9% of everyone else, but watching you teach makes things not only attainable, but much less frustrating...live forever! eagerly awaiting any material from you! thanks millions! Rich...Detroit.
Keep rockin' Tim; you truly are an inspiration .....
Excellent lesson, pure finity!
