The very fast lick near the beginning of the “Panama” solo is an example that I played which is an extension of the Clapton “Sitting On Top of the World” ending solo lick patterns: And another example of this Clapton......Read more

I’m not sure where you get that I “failed to recognize” that “Beat It” was recorded more than once. I’m well aware of the demo and the re-recording of the track after Edward’s solo was recorded that Luke mentions. Luke can......Read more
