Lick Library - Jam with Cream.
Presented by Michael Casswell.

Presentation
Usual excellent presentation from Lick Library, sounds and visuals are great.
Michael does a good job of explaining how to play the songs and stops to give extra information when needed i.e. when explaining chords.
What does it cover?
2 DVD's and 1 CD with jam tracks.
- Sunshine of your love
- Badge
- White Room
- Spoonful
- Crossroads

Overall
This one is probably just for Cream fans rather than general blues players.
Another great lesson from Lick Library, good value for money too.

REVIEW: Lick Library, Eric Clapton
Lick Library, Learn to play Eric Clapton.
Presented by Jamie Humphries.
RRP £24.99 GBP.
Presentation
Up to Lick Library standards, superb sound and picture quality.
The songs are well explained but there are a few points where the chords are brushed over rather than explained fully, but you can pause the DVD to take a look at positioning if necessary.
What does it cover?
Two DVD's covering:
- Layla
- Sunshine of your love
- Cocaine
- White room
- Bad love
I would say this is aimed at the intermediate guitarist.
Overall
If you are fan of Eric Clapton and Cream then you can't go wrong with this DVD.
