I liked it when Clapton played the Gibson-

[@davidflynn7258]

We used to get a similar sound with a "phase-shifter." (Late seventies garage band rock.)

[@RobertLaberge]

As they used to say, play it loud!

Made Loud to be Played Loud.

Very Nice. Thanks for the comparison and the work! Why I love You Tube.

Thanks for watching!

So there are two pictured 147 Leslies, the first a 147 and the second a 147 R, that being a Leslie with a reverb unit and smaller speakers mounted on the sides, see the extra louvers just below the horn louvers. I have the non reverb 147, the sweetest amp for guitar ever. Also, NPR used to have a radio show called 'Pipe Dreams' that played big organ music. Patching a mono feed from my tuner preamp to the Leslie was like being in a cathedral! Never forget what all the pedal purveyors claim, "Sounds just like a Leslie!" HA!

According to an interview with Eric Clapton, Eric is playing the Leslie part. He said, the solo and the Leslie part are the only thing he played on the recording. The rest is George. I was surprised by this too, as I assumed the most "Beatley" part would be played by a Beatle

I know George and Eric wrote this song, but did George hang out with Ginger and record the song, because Ringo ain't playing drums. "My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a Beatles song with Eric playing lead, but did George have a track on this for his vocals and guitar?

This is a Cream song, with George Harrison as guest guitarist. In his book I, Me, Mine, Harrison described the creation of what’s been called Cream’s finest song: “Badge.” “I co-wrote ‘Badge’ with Eric Clapton. The group Cream decided they were making one last album together and they all had to turn up on such and such a day with a new song each. Eric had some of the melody and I helped him finish the tune and then wrote the words. ‘While writing the words we got to the middle part which I called the ‘bridge,’ so I put that on the paper with the words. Eric was sitting opposite me and he looked at the paper - upside down to him - and cracked up: he said, ‘What’s that - badge?’ and I said ‘it’s bridge.’ So later Eric called the song ‘Badge.’ It’s funny, now he actually sings in concert at the end of the song ‘Where is my badge?’” Harrison recalled in Secrets From the Masters that the bridge was important because it introduced Clapton’s stunning solo. “That’s where Eric enters. On the record Eric doesn’t play guitar up until that bridge. He sat through it with his guitar in the Leslie, and I think Felix somebody [Pappalardi] was the piano player. So there was Felix, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and me." medium.com/the-riff/cream-says-goodbye-with-badge-6806d1c35288

muy buena rola, excelente el sonido!!!!,

[@RobertLaberge]

Gracias, saludos!

[@stuartwiner7920]

Badge is a great song. I don't know why you jammed those other parts from Ringo's song on there. They don't fit.

[@RobertLaberge]

Hi Stewart. The explanation is quite simple: the intro from It Don't Come Easy features more Leslie speaker sounds from George, which is the purpose of this video. Cheers!

[@piggyroo100]

Clapton plays the Leslie bridge bit. Sorry.

[@RobertLaberge]

George Harrison recalled in Secrets From the Masters that the bridge was important because it introduced Clapton’s stunning solo. “That’s where Eric enters. On the record Eric doesn’t play guitar up until that bridge. He sat through it with his guitar in the Leslie, and I think Felix Pappalardi (bassist from Mountain and producer) was the piano player. So there was Felix, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and me." So, to be precise, George plays the eerie arpeggios that start the bridge, and then Eric enter with his flamboyant solo.

[@mrkite89]

@@RobertLaberge If these are Harrison's own words, then Clapton plays all guitars in the bridge section: the solo is obviously him and the only guitar through a Leslie is the famous arpeggio iff. No doubt that George WROTE that part. He also played the rhythm electric guitar during the rest of the song, with a really nice lick just before the switch.
