STRANGE BREW from the CREAM album 'Disraeli Gears' (1967)
Issued by the famous CREAM trio made by Eric CLAPTON, Jack BRUCE ( bass player)
and Ginger BAKER (drummer), this surely is one of the pillars on which Eric CLAPTON
built his fame. And the engine starts at the first stroke !
There are six verses each of them consisting of the usual 12 bars.
1. Intro verse
2. 1st sung verse
3. 2nd sung verse
4. solo verse
5. 3 rd sung verse
6. outro verse
I suppose that the chords are played like this ( they sound OK to me like this ) :
D9 : X5455X
E7#9 : 07678X
D7#9 : X5456X
and A : 577655 (simple full barre)
I tabbed the rhythm guitar separately because it is easy to make out the bars
and to synchronize the solo guitar and the bass.
Now the lead and bass guitars.
The lead guitar is easier to tab than to play. So I tabbed the
solo as carefully as I could.
The bass was another story to tab : the riffs vary constantly
and you must listen very carefully to what Bruce is doing !
Only in the 2 last verses do we find a steady pattern.
You can download the full AUDIO MP3 demo from the URL at the top of this
doucment in which I approximately played the voice at the end of the left
channel for you to be able to check were you are when reading
the tab (not sure it's a success) !
The lead and bass tabs come after the rhythm guitar tabs and the
full tune is tabbed. The bass plays a real solo all along.
RHTHM GUITAR :
The riffs are repetitive ! There are only two variations that are
noted farther with the solo/bass tab.
Legend:
h : hammer-on
n ! : do NOT let ring (choke when releasing)
~~~ : do let ring
1 : bar number
fbu : full bend up
fbd : full bend down
hbu : half bend up
hbd : half bend down
qbu : quarter bend up
