 White Room
 (Jack Bruce/Pete Brown)
 By The Cream
 From the album "Wheels of Fire" 1968
 Transcribed by Halfdan Baadsvik

 "White Room",  one of  the great  Cream  anthems, and
 among the best rock 'n' roll songs ever.
 Clapton  makes some  small changes  to the  main riff
 when he playes it. Here it is written with  all notes
 he leaves out or puts in. Listen to the record to see
 what I mean. If you  have the  remastered  version of
 the album, it's easier to hear.
 The  solo tab is  not complete, 'cause I don't  wanna
 bother  tabbing  the whole thing. But it should  give
 you some good guidelines on how to make your own solo
 to the song and to play fills in the second verse. As
 you might see, it's all based on the pentatonic scale
 in Dm.
