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.

[@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…

[@jmbishop8863]

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

[@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 😢

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@roblarson9065]

Phoenix AZ: Angela, you know your stuff. Notes are spot on and your teaching slow repetitively works great. I’ve been playing for 50 years & I learned a song from you that I’ve wanted to play for that time frame. Just relax & teach without worrying about what we are thinking about you. You are great!

[@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

[@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.

[@dukeofearl4117]

I’m 72 and love this song. Brings me back to the good times I had in the 60’s. It sounds like they’re playing this on a resonator guitar. I have one and I am going to try it.

[@barryholman2645]

In retirement I have turned to all my lovely guitars to play these again. Do I like Blind Faith, YES, I saw them live in Regents Park London. Will I learn this tune, well maybe. BUT I could watch you all day, your personality is infectious. Please keep teaching videos going, you are great to watch. I shall keep a watch out for yet further hours of entertainment.

[@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

[@bobekstam1164]

Really excellent job of teaching this song! You broke it down into digestible parts and brought it all together in the end. With enthusiasm and lots of smiles. Well done Angela! I am now a fan!

[@scottreynolds6317]

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

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

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

Thanks for the lesson, Angela. As a former SoCal guy from Huntington Beach and been away for about 12 years here in Southern Indiana, I sure wish I could find my way home. :)

[@chucks6318]

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

[@dominicmcstay6561]

Thanks Angela and Greetings from England .A great song and a great lesson, and a minor win for me. I'm 69 years old and been playing for about 3 years. I attempted this lesson about a year ago and found it very trying......... I've just come back to it this evening and I've almost mastered 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.

[@dizzyd3670]

Hey Angela! I have to give you thanks from the bottom of my heart. 5 Years ago I stopped playing guitar. Going thru many challenges in life and losing my wife and family. For some reason I stopped playing .Stopped learning. But last week I found this video and picked up my guitar again and it has helped me start healing in my life and my divorce. I saw your video and it inspired me to dust off my guitar and start playing again this week. You are a great teacher and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your videos put me at ease and songs I never attempted to learn you make it seem easy. Thank you from your newest fan!

[@AngelaPetrilliMusic]

Thank you for the kind words. Much success to you.

I have tried to play this for a long time. Your breaking it into parts and slowly going through the combination chords/chords with a bass note really helped me get it. The drop D also adds a nice touch. Thanks.

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

[@anthonyruda2021]

OK, so you said something that resonated with me. This song by Steve Winwood is really beautiful on so many levels. It bothers me when I hear people dismiss it as a "drunk song" because of the lyric. They are missing so much. For example, there are many tunes with a descending bass in the verse, but that technique here really touches a nerve. The chord changes over this along with some very beautiful suspensions really give the song its character. Add the dynamics and the vocal melody and you can see why the song is such a hit and sounds so good so many years later. Thank you, Angela, for the way you explain things. I see that you have a very high level of musicianship which shows through without your even trying. It's very admirable. Tony from Detroit

I know that this video is 2 yes old but today is the day I decided to learn it and when you asked for my favorite Eric Clapton band I had to leave a comment since I will be attending Eric’s concert in Minneapolis tomorrow night. One of only 5 stops on the North American tour Other than two nights at the Crossroads Blues Festival in LA. Picking a favorite Clapton band is really sort of unfair because he’s done so many great songs but if I could go back in time and see a Cream Concert , I’d be On my way stopping by Tim O’Leary’s on the way !

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!
