The book mentioned that Clapton and the others just got together and all equally contributed to create the album.
I recall seeing a documentary about the album and a guy who worked the mixing console was asked about the "live jam" vibe that Clapton wanted for the entire album. This guy had worked with the ABB, so he said something to the effect of: "What I was hearing was fantastic and yet strange. Having worked with the ABB, I was unaccustomed to hearing Duane play even a single note wrong - but this is what Eric wanted it to be - to sound like they just picked up their instruments and jammed. And basically, Eric would play the melody and describe what he wanted to do, and then that's what they did, just jam."

That man was legendary, producer/engineer, Tom Dowd. He also worked with Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Miles Davis, Coltrane and countless others. The documentary in called "The Language of Music" I recommend it for any music lover.
