Crossroads


"Cream - Intro, 12 Bar Progressions & Outro Section" by Crossroads is a guitar study piece focused on foundational blues structure. Built around the classic 12-bar blues progression, it covers the intro, main progression, and outro, essential sections for any electric guitarist looking to understand traditional blues form. Mastering these structures opens the door to a wide range of blues and rock guitar vocabulary.

  • The 12-bar blues progression is the backbone of countless rock and blues songs, making it one of the most valuable patterns to learn on electric guitar.
  • Studying intro and outro sections alongside the main progression helps guitarists understand how songs are arranged and how to transition between parts smoothly.
  • Crossroads is a name closely associated with blues guitar tradition, referencing one of the most iconic themes in the history of the genre.
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.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah
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.
