Badge - Cream | Guitar Lesson

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Badge is such a resonant, image filled song, it generates an atmosphere that captures the spirit of its times, being 1969 - I instantly loved it

[@larrystoltenberg8361]

I play it with one of my bands. The guy that suggested it wasn't born when it came out! Always loved the song.

[@tommcnally3646]

One of Claptons best solos, beautiful and soulful

[@rickharris4513]

Think that Leslie section inspired Tom Scholz? The fade-in to "More Than a Feeling" sure seems like a tip of the hat to it.

[@MegaTubescreamer]

You`re opening a kind of pandora`s box of blissful memories, of those halcyon days of just hearing these `out of this world`favourite mind blowing musical expressions,the siren`s sweetly singing...we all felt `free` conjuring all that timeless imagery back.. tiny purple fishes,crimson shells... beset by primal inventive rhythms ... they were truly "cream",thank you👍😎

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Never heard a solo so deadly accurate --brilliant FX -wish I had the same sound for that solo---well done --nice to see you took great pains to get it spot on --I struggled to get it right --NOW I have the standard to work from ---thankyou !

[@goport]

The video intro (bridge & solo) was spot on.

[@cerclesvicieux]

My favorite Cream/Clapton song. Thank you!

Thanks for the lesson. As usual you've dissected it, nailed it, without losing the feeling. 👍

[@bornagainbornagain6697]

This video answers a question I have had for years. Around the 15 minute mark, I hear the notes that I thought were Clapton, but heard on George music before, and didn't know who copied who. Now it is clear it was only George that did both. He owns that riff. Killer in my world of rock. Thanks for the breakdown and the hard work of research, much appreciated.

[@12footchain]

Check the comments, apparently there's good credible info that clapton actually played the Leslie riff. Apparently George said it himself. So I could be wrong thinking it was George. Thanks for watching

[@bornagainbornagain6697]

@@12footchain I hope your wrong but I have to know/

[@tommcnally3646]

George did say in an interview that Clapton played the arpeggiated riff, but I always assumed it was George

Up to a point, they could definitely copy each other. I always thought it was Clapton who played lead on I'd Have You Anytime but I read it was George. It sounded so Clapton like.

I’ve always played the chorus part C-A-Bm-Am9. I had to go do some research before I replied. Watched him live and think it is Bm. Other online guys also have it as a Bm. I think it’s the A note in the D chord that sounds off. Let me know if you agree. Awesome video and lead

[@12footchain]

Yeah I think I had that wrong Bm I think sounds right. Thanks

[@Bluesaddicts]

@@12footchain Definitely a Bm. I always played the AM9 down at the second fret myself

[@rajah155]

Great overall analysis! The solo tone smacks of really being treble-boosted distortion, a la the Bluesbreakers tone, probably with a Rangemaster Treble Booster which Clapton used to great effect with John Mayall and on Fresh Cream. I agree with a Bm being in there instead of D, but I’m hearing it more open as a Bm7 in the changes. C>Am>Bm7>Am9. Opinions on this? And… I own a Leslie, a Mesa-Boogie Revolver cabinet, Motion Sound Cabinets, Fender Vibratone cabs and Leslie simulators, but that Ventilator II sounds fantastic. You just cost me $550! It was definitely a Leslie on the original recording, as the Fender Vibratone does not have that horn and driver timbre, it’s just a drum-modulated speaker.

[@pauwer13]

@@12footchain actually Bm7

[@bobsbarnworkshop]

I play the bridge slightly different. I go to C, Am, Bm7 to the last chord whatever it’s called. Bm7 instead of D

Couple of teensy wrong notes, but you nail the spirit, I love it. Really good video. Really instructive. And I love that you cover different situations where you might not have a bass.

[@donfarneth409]

This lesson is off the chain!

[@ptrisonic]

I watched your piece on my TV yesterday so could not respond to you. I started at Decca Records in London 1967 when I was 16. Until Dick Rowe's ideas came to fruition I worked as a Gopher in the A&R Dept. No, there was no one as young as me. Anyway to my great amazement (and for which I'm still grateful) I was introduced to Mike Vernon - who was already a hero of mine because he produced John Mayall/Eric Clapton album commonly called "Beano" - what's more he liked me to ask questions (that's how you learn) and to come forward (I was a bit shy still). Amongst many things he taught me was "How do you record very loud guitars?" He knew - I think he had known since birth... He used to record Eric and Jimmy together in his tiny apartment (either the bathroom or the kitchen). Anyway I just want you to know where I'm coming from. It is generally considered that Eric did use the Firebird on the solo to "Badge" it is such distinctive sound. He got very fond of the Firebird and used it on several records he played in London when he was at a loose end after Cream folded. He played a lot on recordings of Mike's such as Howling Wolf's and Muddy Waters London Sessions albums. He also played on Martha Velez's "Fiends and Angels" at Decca's Broadhurst Garden Studios. I saw him leaving the Studios when I arrived one evening he was noticeably carrying a Firebird's giant case as he leapt into the Taxi I got out of. Now the next point is this: Did Eric play the bridge using George's Strat? Did George just play the backing guitar throughout the song? Ah, another mystery where both sides have adherents..... Ho ho. Best, Pete.

[@12footchain]

LOVE IT! Man I wish I was around all this happening like that, so great that you got to be a part of all that. Thanks so much for the reply and info.

[@jimmuller]

Great job. I could never figure out that outro lick at 21:54. It almost sounds like an overdub on the record.

[@tom12ta]

Another great lesson....thanks 🍻🍺🍺🥸👍

[@chordacopia5149]

Great video! Thanks! And thanks especially for graciously acknowledging the criticisms and corrections in the comments. Many KZbin music teachers just block and shadow-ban critical comments. I have one that I've not yet seen mentioned here. In the arpeggio part you play (as I did for many years) D - F# - A | C - E - G - B . . . so that you're outlining a complete Cmaj7 chord on the first two beats of the measure. But what Clapton actually plays there is D - F# - A | C - D - G - B with an open D instead of an E. You can hear this very clearly if you listen to these notes looped at half-speed. The Cmaj7 doesn't get its third (i.e., an E) until Harrison comes in with the bar chords. Note too that this creates a pedal-point effect throughout the arpeggio with an open D recurring in all three chords.

[@12footchain]

Thank you!

[@acadianr2leger]

Luv your sound and tone

[@MRod1079]

Sorry at 6:39 it should go C-Am-Bm- Am9 not C-Am-D. This is what I have heard since the record came out!

Good video, and a great song choice. Know I can try to learn to play the solo, I've been playing this song for years (since the mid 70's) and I wanted to check if I had been playing it right all these years, well the only difference I found was at the end of the verse, you play C to Am to D to Am+9, where I have played it C to Am to Bm to Am+9. Yo my ears the D maj doesn't sound as smooth as the Bm to Am+9. Just my preference.

[@12footchain]

No you are right, I got that wrong it is Bm. Not sure why I played D there, was just being lazy I guess

[@chrismulvaney8779]

Thank you for clarifying because I heard/played Bm as well and didn't want to think I've had it wrong all these years!

[@derekclacton]

@@12footchain A lot of people think it’s George, so you weren’t alone 😉

[@mikegray8776]

I am pretty much certain that the “Leslie” part was played by George on the original recording - partly to “sell” the song to Jack Bruce and Pete Brown who he thought wouldn’t like it - partly because George would be the peacemaker in the studio between the warring rhythm section guys, but mostly because their styles sounded great together. Also of course, the phrasing and tone is so typically Harrison (esp from around the Help era). In latter years Clapton has performed Badge with various mates from Mark Knopfler to Ronnie Wood, Derek Trucks or Doyle Bramhall - and although he usually plays the first part of the “Leslie” part himself until the solo kicks in - it is NEVER remotely as good as Harrison’s touch on the original. (MK actually plays it better when they reverse roles for the 2nd solo. ) Still probably my single favourite song of ALL TIME.

[@StillPointStudio]

yeah great playing and lesson! some beautiful guitars and amps also

[@lichterwald]

Your equipment sounds great!

[@cidlopez]

I’ve been trying to find a pedal that gets that Leslie sound. Have Strymon Mobius and Boss RT-20. Neither of them come close. Looking at Strymon Lex v2. Have you tried that one? The Ventilator II nails it, but a lot of coin for just one modulation pedal.

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

AWESOME !

[@stephenrothman6058]

Can anybody help with harmonic analysis of Badge. It starts out obviously in A minor and hovers around the I, IV and V chords, A, D and E. Then when the arpeggiated part starts (maybe a sort of bridge?), the chords are D major, Cmajor 7, G major and back to D. Has it modulated? If you analyzed it as still being in key of A minor, then those would be the IV, III and bVII chords. But I guess bVii is in the diatonic key of A minor. But it sounds to me more like it has modulated than that it's still in A minor. But if so, where? If it had gone to Gmajor, then all 3 chords, Dmaj, Cmaj7 and Gmaj would be in the key and could be considered I, IV, V in that key. But Gmaj doesn't really sound like the tonal center there, the Dmaj does. And if it's in Dmaj, what is the C(natural)maj7 doing there? The diatonic Dmaj scale has a C# not a C. The sound is simple enough, just Gmaj, Cmaj, Dmaj, but how would you analyze it? And if Dmaj is the modulated key, then is Imaj, bVIImaj, IV a common progression to see?

[@12footchain]

Someone else would have to weigh in on that. You put me out of my depth at "harmonic analysis". :-)

[@Vanguardsman]

I've been thinking about your very good question. My ear tells me the tune is in D major. But, as you ask, what is the Cmaj7 doing there? I`m thinking that that chord isn't Cmaj7 at all. Possible?

Have you seen Cream's appearance on the Glen Campbell Show, playing "Sunshine Of Your Love"? It's shot "in the round" and he's playing the Firebird and, both he and Jack Bruce are playing through Marshall half stacks with no master volume controls. Clapton's sound is very clean with little if any distortion. Still, he gets plenty of sustain, so he must have been playing at a good volume. Interesting to watch his various tremolo techniques on that too. They also trade vocals.
