The songs from The Yardbirds, and Clapton with <strong>Cream<\/strong>, are propelled almost solely by guitar lines. In three-piece groups like Cream, each member delivers equal impact, but the guitar is the theme of the song.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
