I Feel Free


"I Feel Free" is a 1966 single by British rock trio Cream, with music composed by Jack Bruce and lyrics by Pete Brown. It blends blues rock with psychedelic pop, demonstrating the band's stylistic range early in their career. For electric guitarists, the track offers an entry point into Eric Clapton's tone and phrasing from Cream's formative period, sitting at the crossroads of raw blues feel and melodic pop structure.

  • The song was recorded in December 1966, making it one of Cream's earliest studio recordings.
  • Music was written by bassist Jack Bruce, not guitarist Eric Clapton, an unusual creative dynamic for a guitar-led band.
  • The track runs just under three minutes, packing blues rock and psychedelic pop textures into a tight, focused arrangement.
Gibson SG Standard
Guitar

Gibson SG Standard

Lighter and more aggressive than the Les Paul, the SG's slim mahogany body and twin humbuckers produce a raw, snarling midrange. Angus Young's weapon of choice - perfect for high-energy rock and hard-driving riffs.

Marshall JTM45
Amp

Marshall JTM45

Marshall's first amplifier and the blueprint for all British rock tone. Based on the Fender Bassman circuit, the JTM45's KT66 power tubes and bold midrange deliver a warm, fat breakup that influenced decades of rock playing.

Pedal

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

The most recognised wah pedal on the planet. The Cry Baby's vocal frequency sweep gave Hendrix, Clapton and Kirk Hammett their signature lead voices. Rock, funk, metal - no pedalboard is complete without one.
