For your consideration.

As this was the discussion topic of the month( apparently??) I gave it a go.

I used the long backing track and added my own improv at the end.

One thing became evident to me whilst unraveling this - There is very clear phrasing and punctuation in the structure.  Each lick is really made up of two or more "words".  I jumped right in at the end of the structured section whilst still holding the vibe and inspiration and just let loose with whatever came out!

As always comments and recommendations greatly appreciated.

That is great man! It's harder than it seems, isn't it? The rhythmic phrasing by Clapton is always very cool and varied.

Your timing could be improved a bit, perhaps. Not bad though.

It sounds so different with the more saturated overdrive you have, and by using a pick. It's great and interesting to hear this solo from that perspective. I used less overdrive and used no pick, but it's all good man! (Saul Goodman if you've seen Breaking Bad.) 🙂

Yes, ahh no pick would make a huge difference.  As I listen back it sounds like I'm a bit drunk in places! Dragging my feet and slurring!  Ha!  Saul Good Man!
