White Room


"White Room" is a song by British rock band Cream, composed by bassist Jack Bruce with lyrics by poet Pete Brown. It was recorded for the 1968 double album Wheels of Fire and later released as a single in both the US and UK. For electric guitar players, it is a rewarding study in Eric Clapton's expressive blues-rock phrasing, wah-wah pedal technique, and the interplay typical of Cream's power-trio format.

  • Eric Clapton's prominent wah-wah pedal work throughout the track makes it a classic study in expressive effects technique.
  • The song appeared on Wheels of Fire, a 1968 double album split between studio recordings and a live performance disc.
  • The US single release used a shorter edit for AM radio, while FM stations and UK audiences heard the full album version.
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.
