Song: Sunshine Of Your Love
Album: Disraeli Gears
Artist: Cream
Year: 1967
Composed by Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Pete Brown
Tabbed by Spencer

This is a very easy song, and Im transcribing it from a book so 
I know its right. Im also transcribing the fingering so sounds 
best. A lot of other tabs say you should play it on the higher frets, 
but that doesnt sound as good.

The song is composed of four main riffs.

Riff 1:

G—7—7—5—7———————————————————
D——————————7—6—5—————3b—————
A——————————————————5————5—5—
E———————————————————————————

Riff 2:

G———————————————————————————
D—5—5—3—5———————————————————
A——————————5—4—3—————1b—————
E——————————————————3————3—3—

A lot of tabs exclude that final note at the end of those two riffs, 
but if you listen carefully, its there. It also adds a nice flow 
to the song.

Riff 3:

G————————————
D————————————
A————————3———
E—5—5—5————3—

Riff 4:

G————————————————————————
D————————————————————————
A————————————————————————
E—5—55—55—55—55—55—55—55—

You get the hang of it, right? You can figure out on your own where 
each riff goes and how many times its played, but theyre all 
repeated throughout the entire song.

As an added bonus, Im going to show you how the song relates to 
the blues scale! The main riff is in the key of D, so Ill show you 
the D blues scale, and work the fingering so it more closely matches 
the song.

D Blues Scale:

G———————————5—7——7—5———————————
D———3—5—6—7——————————7—6—5—3———
A—5——————————————————————————5—
E——————————————————————————————

Look at the second half of the scale (the reversed part), and 
then look at the main riff again. See the similarities? The blues 
scale pops up in classic rock very often, so its a handy scale 
to know.
