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.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CREAM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
