3. You are most welcome!

I got the album as a Christmas gift in 1970. Between this number, "Old Times Good Times" w/Hendrix and "Black Queen", I wore the grooves off while dropping the needle.

Night & day in both tone & skill.

6. Stills says Clapton's solo was " ... one take and he got a fabulous sound."

7. His Tone Evolved A Few Times

When he first went Strat his tone (like here) was REALLY Strat-y
Then it became a little more full. Then it became more distorted, and ended up about 70% of that.
Like many players, he was seeking the sound he had in his head, and when he found it, it became a signature soubd.
Over the years, he must have mentally heard more than one ideal tone.
