Cat's Squirrel
Cream - BBC Sessions
 
Listen to song for timing, as you're going to need it.
 
Basically an E chord over and over again. Esus4 -> E  %%%%

So, that's the main part you hear like 60 times, but obviously it's just kinda strummed, but
that's what's pretty much going on that makes it sound like Cat's Squirrel.
 
Aha,
     This is just different random ways Clapton would play I guess.
