Eric Clapton has used many guitar settings in a career that goes across several decades but people are still fascinated by the sound that people call the “woman” tone. If you don’t know what that means listen to the Cream track, “Sunshine Of Your Love” that features the guitar solo starting with the melody of “Blue Moon” by Rodgers and Hart. With none of the modern technological stuff available to him in the nineteen sixties, Eric just set his guitar and his amp according to his taste and played.
Some of what you hear on record is more to do with what happens as the music is recorded than with the sound Clapton set out to make. Eric Clapton always played with the volume at full tilt and the tone was at a very low setting. The use of the wah-wah pedal and heavy gauge strings also contributed alot to the sound.
Eric Clapton emerged with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers in the sixties playing a 1960 Les Paul Standard guitar. His amp was 1962 Marshall forty-five watt 2×12 combination. He fought with producers and engineers to be allowed to play at concert volume in the studio. This was unheard of at that time.
When he played with Cream, Clapton played a 1964 Gibson Les Paul SG. He chose 100 watt Marshall heads and 4×12 cabinets. He was also one of the pioneers of the wah-wah pedal. It was with this guitar and amp that he produced his famous “woman” tone. Do not forget Eric’s Marshall amps were extremely overdriven and this was another major contributor to his sound.
You can buy pedals that are supposed to duplicate Eric Clapton’s guitar settings but you can be more “authentic” by setting the guitar and amp yourself. Because Eric has mostly been seen playing Fender Stratocasters for some years, we will stick with setting a Strat to try to get that “woman tone”. But remember that Eric was not playing a Strat when he was with Cream so you will need to be creative to get the sound out of your guitar.
You will be using the neck pickup. You need to turn down the second and third volume control knobs to get a fairly muddy tone. From here you need to use your ear to compare your sound with one of Eric Clapton’s records. As far as your amplifier goes, set your bass to around seven and the middle at five. The treble should be set at five. These suggestions are only meant to be a rough guide to start off in the right direction to achieving a tone that you may not have the equipment to duplicate one hundred per cent.

There are many common misconceptions by people about learning the guitar. However, they are all incorrect. Here is the reasons:
One: You should practice on an acoustic guitar.
NO!: It is better to practice on an electric guitar since it?s easier to play, has lighter strings, lower action, and a smaller neck. It?s also a little more interesting for first time players as you can add distortions and effects and keep the learner more interested.
Second: The best way to ?get? a famous band sound is buy a pedal that has player presets.
Truth: Although some multi-effects DO have some important presets, it is far better to learn the correct technique rather than trying to imitate the sound. Generally the sound of the incredible players comes from their spirit, their skill, and choice of guitar and amp. (Rarely do these guys use digital effects to create their sounds.
Three: You have to have a gigantic amp to get a large sound.
NO!: Some of the most huge sounds that have been recorded have been done with smaller 10 -20 watt amps with the tube made very loud. Many infamous bands have many amps on stage that are empty of speakers and a small amp hidden behind the stack that is mic?d up to the PA system. Some bands are also using digital recreations (POD, Digitech etc) of their amps in the studio but most purist players still use a real amp and analogue pedals.
Fourth: You should use lots of ?string wrap or turns? around the machine (tuning) head to get stable tuning.
Wrong!: Although B.B. King does use this method a better way is to have about 3
