This is an approximation of the main guitar solo in the song BADGE. BADGE was written by Eric Clapton and George Harrison, and was played by 'The Cream' (Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker) when Eric Clapton was transitioning from exceptional guitarist to 'frontman', doing vocals as well. The name apparently originated from Clapton reading George Harrison's notes regarding the song and misreading 'bridge' as 'badge'. What transpired in conversation after that is not clear .... but the unintentional song name remained.
