I saw Blind Faith July 13 1969 in Bridgeport Ct. Of course the perform the entire album. They were using Firebirds. Though the Free were billed as opener, Rory Gallagher (The Taste) opened, followed by Delaney and Bonnie then Bling Faith. Janis Joplin came and hung out at the concert. She had played the Yale Bowl in New Haven the night before. Great night.

[@thomasfoss9963]

That was a month before the Woodstock festival!!! To see Blind Faith, Free, Taste, Delaney and Bonnie had to be special!!! One of the early multi- band shows!!!

[@EricCirca]

Does that mean that Free didn't perform?

[@metwo3389]

I saw them at Madison Square Garden the same summer. I can remember Free and Delaney and Bonnie as the opening acts. The thing I also remember is that Blind Faith only played for about 35-40 minutes and we stormed the stage... don't think at the time they were getting along very well.

[@davidclark9086]

Wow, that must have been awesome.

[@Cabronosidad]

I saw them in Hyde Park, London, that same summer. I was 17yrs old.

[@MikeFerguson-yq2jh]

Great great job of teaching ,Angela!

[@guitarplayerz4893]

I saw Steve Winwood in concert and he did this song during the show. Great tune.

[@robertkelly1434]

I play a Briarwood (Peavey) acoustic that I upgraded with a Fishman 301 Presys Blend. It has a built in microphone, in addition to the Sonicore piezo pickup. I play it over a Marshall AS-50D amplifier. It sounds SO awesome!!! 👍👍👍😃😃😃

[@jameskowalkowski2308]

WOW - I really can play one of my FAVORITE songs! Really amazing teaching style too! Thank you so much!!

[@waldi-gh4qg]

Thank you❣

[@victorvargas165]

Thank you for an awesome lesson. New Mexico.

Great teacher

[@richardfrion8055ll]

Awesome thanks love your smile 😊❤

[@Pedro2706]

UK here-Cream without a doubt-extraordinary music & guitar playing -Eric was 21 when he joined -I mean,thats ridiculous-

[@pronczka1]

Here from Connecticut, and Cream for the Eric Clapton Favorite

[@toddfederman8221]

Originally from NY currently in germany, Derrick and the dominoes

[@bobn1944]

Your guitar sounds awsome. Subscribed

[@toddmcintosh83]

Hello from central Florida. Where do I start, or how do I pick a favorite EC/Slowhand band? New Yardbirds, Blues Breakers, Blind Faith, Cream, Derek and the Dominos? How about all of the above? No way to beat Eric Clapton! My favorite musician!😎👌

[@journeywithstu7199]

Denver, and Bluesbreakers

[@pauloguinngmail]

Oh, I'm in Love! Hah! "You send me..." The greatest teacher... And, I've been playing for 49 years. But, I still look like my profile... Believe it...

[@doggystylez10]

Thank you so much!! This is a song I’ve been wanting to learn for a long time. Honestly, after spending the last month on Going to California this was relatively simple. That being said, can you explain the D chord?!?🤔😁

[@jmbishop8863]

Blind Faith made one record and, man, didn't they make it count. I love this song. Thank you for this tutuorial.

[@fposmith]

The Yardbirds ! It had the greatest set of guitarists known to man.

[@williamb3323]

Electric prunes too.

[@johntrude6926]

Good call.

[@casamar1000]

Love this one, is there a link to the score youre using?

[@MCeleste56]

You are spot on! Great, great sound. I love Steve Windwood. He's great in the band Cream and Blind Faith. And yes, Eric Clapton is an amazing artist!! Love, love them both!!! You make want to learn guitar, with the help of my brother. He plays guitar. THANK YOU

[@homercarey8951]

What guitar are you playing. Jimmy Buffett had a custom one built for Paul McCartney

[@homercarey8951]

Can not comprehend . Computer & musically stupid. We’re you taught this or you naturally gifted. Techniques of Doc. Watson. Dan Fogelberg version of Road Beneath My wheels

[@homercarey8951]

Eva Cassidy

[@dabsafe]

I’m an old guy that decided he wanted to start playing guitar a few months ago and I’m desperately trying to follow along. I love your passion and also your teaching method. It suits my learning modalities (albeit a tough go for me). Thanks for these lessons!

[@brucejordan8444]

I'm right there with you, Brother! I picked up a guitar for the first time at age 60. Fast forward two years and I'm fair with basic chords but looking to continue to get better. Angela makes it a lot easier the way she breaks things down. Stay with it!

[@dominicmcstay6561]

Agreed chaps. Im 69 Y.O and playing about 3 years and Angela explains these songs very well@@brucejordan8444

[@jhandle4196]

As Carlos Santana said, "When you play music, you bring light to the darkness." Carry on bravely.

[@johnrobinson7036]

2 years down the road, but I’m an old guy who took up guitar two years ago. Hope you stuck with it! I’m having a blast.

[@vinnyliberto5806]

I wish some day I can play this song and make it sound something like a song.... Clapton loved watching Duane Allman play he would crawl under the stage just to get a closer look at Duane playing slide...he was a huge fan....so when they got together to form Derek and the Domino's....like blind faith only produced one album.... really liked that one....my mom taught me how to play Layla on piano....loved it

[@raxideezxxx8752]

Love al of EC's bands, but I'll be a little obscure: Delany and Bonnie!

[@LaMusicade4]

Motel Shot

[@sgriggstn]

Derek and the Dominoes.

[@roenvalenzuela2492]

EC did one song with Bob Dylan. Something to do with Blue eyes 👀!

[@raxideezxxx8752]

@Michael Yeah, he and George were essentially "pick-up" players but he was never the leader of the band, but I think that was the point. I think he wanted to escape the spotlight for awhile and let someone else drive. He was exposed to so many different forms of music that it really shaped his music. Delaney also inspired E.C. to sing.

[@knuckle47]

Atlantic City… played this tune in places back in the early 1970’s and no one gave a shit. 50 years later it has resurfaced in hundreds of video lessons… I like yours the best

[@chazlevine1468]

Angela, your enthusiasm, personality and method of breaking this song down makes this lesson fun, focused and with feeling! Thank you for all you do…

[@captquest1]

Your lesson on this song is awesome, so clear and entertaining. I really learned much more from your instruction. Looking forward to more from your channel.

[@bobhylands1876]

Just became aware of this lesson from you today. No one teaches the way that you do. Thank you so much for inspiring and encouraging all of us. You are an incredible gift to all of us making all of our musical lives so much richer. We so appreciate your talent and enthusiasm. I personally am so indebted to you for the joy that you have given me through learning new songs, thank you so much.

[@johndmalarkey]

I was in Bridgeport in 1969 too. They blended so well it felt like they’d been together for years. Then they dissolved onto their own separate paths. What a great series of concerts in Bridgeport . The Doors, Jimi Hendrix and Blind Faith.

[@gregsantogrossi7532]

mustve been the same tour that came thru LA at devonshire downs in 69... my brothers all went ..i was too young to go .. remember really wanting to see jimmy.. i can still feel the disappointment 😢

[@Chaletcreek]

Vancouver Island BC Canada. I’ve been working on Hideaway ~ Albert King but love Clapton’s version on Blues Breakers album. Fav album Clapton and Winwood Live at Madison Square Garden!!

[@johnvinje9765]

This is a song that is never heard enough from a group that was so incredible to hear live. Great job breaking it down.

[@jhandle4196]

Certainly it's one of those songs that can be put on an endless loop, and never get boring. John Paul Jones playing "Going to California" on the mandolin is like that too.

[@anomalous9448]

Wish you were around 50+ years ago when I was trying to figure this song out. Drop D; Who knew? Not to mention dropping the needle over and over and over on the record.

[@rodmcdonough6111]

That was great! One of my favorite songs also. Glad I found your channel!

fantastic

[@evlew482]

Love this song. Your lesson inspires me to pick up my guitar and learn the chords and riffs. Thanks for the lesson. Very well presented.

[@stoneymulroney]

Plus the added bonus of you being way cuter than say Marty Music. lol

[@cytopete]

I grew up with Blind Faith - glad to see that someone much younger likes the music from the late 60's, early 70's.

[@jeffmarc1846]

Same here.. If you are new to this song, it’s really worth DLing to hear. Not just for Stevie Winwood’s amazingly smooth vocal performance on it [Notice, no matter how high he sings, his voice never ever thins out!] This made him one of the most sought after vocalists of the times. Plus, DL to hear the ultra-complementary Nylon String lead going on constantly along with the rhythm, shown so nicely here, to the point where they practically blend as one, for they dove tail so well together, they enrich each other. So very worth a quick listen.

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Often when I want to learn a asong quickly for one of my videos, I watch yours to get it because I know it's gonna be accurate. Thanks!

[@chucks6318]

Great lesson yet again and we even had the pleasure of hearing a small sample of your beautiful voice.

[@guydouglas6094]

That is simple - the drop D tuning stands out so much. Good lesson on a great Steve Winwood song.

[@scottreynolds6317]

Clapton in the Bluesbreakers is my favorite, but this is one of my favorite songs ever. Fort Worth, TX here.

[@unclexeres]

John Mayall, lest we forget.

[@RF-lz9cd]

You’re an amazing guitar teacher. Keep up the great work and keep em coming. Thanks!!!!

[@richardsteinbergmakingknives]

I've done this song just about every gig since 1975. I still love it. Great to sing too, a lot of meat on the bones vocally. I like your guitar too. I play a 000-28 and a D-16. You're really good at this! Keep it up. Great way to pay it forward. If you were my daughter I'd be very proud.

[@craigakey4203]

Awesome lesson! I've watched a few of the tutorials on this song! You rocked it girl! I've been playing for years, since I was 12 years old. took a 2 year course in High school. Did the Rock band thing, play the bar seen! I'm 59 now and I'm still learning and Thank you so much! XO

[@earlgrey691]

There's an awesome body of fine tutors on tube lately and l think you fit well into the mix with your friendly and reverent appreciative take on pops crown jewels and this one sure fits the bill. If you've not seen it already, l recommend a yt clip of Steve playing this masterpiece by a crackling fire at his Gloucestershire home, a treat indeed. Hope for many more from you Angela, I've got this one nicely squared away thanks to you, now...let's talk L-Buckingham's-' Never going back again'..heh...heh.(sure you can handle it)

[@timtaylorguitarnut]

Went into a record store in Pittsburgh, a big record store, asked where the blind faith albums were. The clerk said he never heard of them, I was gobsmacked. Thank you Miss P.

[@raymondmorris20]

I don't think I could play with my fat fingers won't work that way

[@dljohnson1974]

Mid-Ohio here, and I liked Eric's work with The Bluesbreakers

[@MicMrp]

Greetings from Seattle. OMG! I just nailed the F to the G5 to the D! It sounded awesome and greasy just like you showed it! So cool. You're a great teacher, thanks! :) BTW, if I set the video setting playback speed to 0.5 I can follow you exactly (but then you sound drunk) If I try to go any faster though ... it's just knuckles and elbows. HA! I'll stay at it!

[@harrybertoia]

I get chills when I hear this song - one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Great job!

[@jhandle4196]

And all about a guy getting too inebriated. Wow. I never considered that Winwood might be a connoisseur of alcoholic beverages until reflecting on this song, and "John Barleycorn." Not being able to find his way home may be how the World lost guitar virtuoso Gary Moore. Just live forever Stevie.

[@harry8097]

Yet another great instruction video! Thank you for making learning these great songs fun!

[@chrispaul2937]

Your lessons are at a nice pace and thank you for taking the time to show us each note you are playing...and keep repeating it....I feel good when you advance to the next section.

[@bruceweigman2798]

Hi Angela. Once again you have struck a chord (hit me where I live) on a beautifully done lesson. Having mastered your "Rain Song" lesson, I'm learning this one now. I already played this but not nearly as well as you do. Thanks again for being the best guitar teacher on KZbin. It's not even close....:).

[@kevinbiddison3431]

First time going by seeing you teaching I would say you are truly amazing woman if you don't mind me saying so. Love seeing you love listening to you love learning from you and just love you. You inspire me God bless you

[@mikeski7621]

Thank you for teaching!!! I'm an intermediate player and it helps me to have an instructor that doesn't go to fast. I love to watch you, I can see the passion that you have for music and teaching. If you are taking requests, I would love to learn how to play "What you give" by Tesla. Thank you!!!

[@dougtwigg3285]

I just love all of the different songs that you picked they're all my favorites also and I'm trying to learn them from you but sometimes I get confused.i wish you had tab . I love the way you play guitar you're very talented. I guess I'm just way too much of a beginner, the different strumming parts on some of your songs are so intricate and without doing them exactly the way you do them it doesn't sound the same and it's hard to keep up because it's fast tablature would help a lot.like when you go over the first part then say strum the chord .in the part where you play the whole song you don't strum the chord ?

[@donnamariecommissionartwor5267]

crud i missed it!! oh well ganna watch now :)

[@donnamariecommissionartwor5267]

[@markjaeckel8839]

An attractive young woman who plays well and has the patience to explain- thank you for this lesson, Angela! The tab would help, as I'm more of a "paper" learner.

[@petes2858]

Thanks for your insightful instruction on this beautiful blues composition. I had begun this piece with another instructor and he is very good with the melody within the chords but you provided clarity on the chord arpeggios, the strum/fingerings, to D on the 6th, and clarity on use of the sus A, and the F# hammer on the D chord, (to which I took the liberty of also adding to the D, a pinky hammer on at the E string G and its pull off back to the regular D chord, just because to me it also seemed to fit haha) been playing approx 6 months and my experience has been greatly enhanced by your comprehensive instruction!
