This must be the video; it is interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4vxOoSS5RY

That's the one -- thanks for finding and posting it!

If you listen closely to some of the riffs Eric demonstrates you'll hear snippets of "Deserted Cities Of The Heart", "SWLABR", and several other classic Cream songs.

Anybody remember the jingle that Cream composed and played on behalf of Falstaff beer? I think the ad campaign ran in 1969.

My goodness! A cig stuffed into the machine head-strings of that custom painted SG. Bet, that guitar is worth a pretty penny, today!

:D

That SG is known by guitar enthusiasts the world over as "The Fool". It's changed hands many times over the years and I believe Todd Runtgren may be the current owner.

Guess "The Fool" was sold to a private collector for $500,000.
