What scale is Clapton soloing over during Old Love from his Unplugged album? Here's a video:

Re: Clapton unplugged

99.99999% of claptons solos are done on the minor and major pentatonic...largely the minor. crossroads w/cream is a good example of him weaving between major and minor.

but yeah, if you know the pentatonics then you are set to try and pull off some clapton stuff....now all you need is some major blues mojo

EDIT: Old love in particular is mostly Am pentatonic

Yeah, it looks like the major and minor pentatonics woven together. Clapton's very good at it, and makes solos like that sound like they are done in some odd exotic scale..

Re: Clapton unplugged

i think that odd sound might be throwing in notes from the natural minor scale that add a diff sound than just playin notes from the minor penta. IMHO, i havent learned the song or anything im just guessing from the vid.
