That guitar sounds great, is it a telecaster?

[iVideosongs]

@anbujaked It is a PRS.

[imjustpassinthru]

That sounds like more of an Eagles singing voice that a Creedence voice. Good voice, though.

[TeamMastaPr2]

The Intro is CCCA AA G... CCCA AA G... CCCA G F... FF F6 F D isn't it?

[imjustpassinthru]

For someone like myself who doesn't play the guitar, it would be interesting to learn how Fogerty got that characteristic guitar sound that immediately lets you know it's Credence. Other bands and guitarists have unique guitar sounds. How do they do it? Is it in the amplifiers, in the guitar itself, the engineering and placement of the pick ups? It seems like any chord or note Fogerty hits has that characteristic sound. It's really a unique sound that no other group has.

[guesser7]

I thought it was F to D F,D C, Bb, G ??? or is that too hard for you?

[mathwizard44]

@guesser7 This sounds like a transposition to what the person in the video did.

[TeamMastaPr2]

Well, you learned the Intro here, do you have bass lessons?

[vachalia]

Sorry, but this is not he way Fogerty played it. His guitar was tuned down one whole step which makes the first chord a D. Ever wondered why no cover band sounds like CCR? Here's the answer.

[OfficialRobbieMason]

John has his black gibson for this song and others tuned in d not standard . check out him playing live 

[eddiefogerty]

C A C A C A F and now D for the verse

[eddiefogerty]

@eddiefogerty

C A C A C A  G F and now D for the verse

forgot G

[SmokeBojangles]

D Was More Complicated Than That.I Agree with bkevans63

[GalaxyHorse]

Just as an addition to this: in the original, and current way John Fogerty plays this with his guitar tuned down a whole tone-he then plays this in E major -making it, of course in D major, but the tonality is different-combined with the Rhythm player doing it in standard tuning , creates that CCR sound.

[mobius59622]

beautiful PRS man :)

[eulessnemesis]

Thank's!!!!!

[MrBawitha]

thank Q for teach ........

some body said we play in Cthe round

i play atD

[partymonsterri]

Creedence did it in E, NOT D

[willmanx]

wrong. CCR is pretty always in D. And this one is in D too. Though my singer can't do in it, so we play it in C.

That's not really important...

[jemogan]

you're both half right. I sounds like it's in D, but on the original recording the guitar is tuned down a whole step, so you're fingering it as if it's in E. It's a trick Fogerty uses on several tunes. Watch him live and you'll see him switch to the same guitar for Proud Mary, Fortunate Son and Commotion - a guitar tuned down so the lowest note is D. I've been playing his songs almost as long as he has, and I've seen him up close and personal and I guarantee that's what's happening.

[partymonsterri]

Correctomundo. I stand corrected. Didn't listen with my guit nearby.

[iVideosongs]

@jemogan Very cool insights

[sara092]

If you bought your guitar 5 days ago, of course you won't get the lesson, cuz you really wouldn't catch up that fast :D what do you want guys?! It IS a lesson

[SstratocasterR]

if u know playing the guitar, yea it's a lesson

it just says to you chords and rythm.

then you play and you make changes whatever u want

[cjkokes]

instead of G chord in the intro you can just play the 2 3 and 4 strings open ... it sounds almost the same

[El135o]

Well, let's just say he's showing us Tom Fogerty's rhythm guitar part LOL!

[heroboy22]

thanks dude

[frassedylan]

okey! thought it sounded like an A but looked like an Asus2... there's why!

[frassedylan]

he cheats on the A though... doesn't he..? never seen anyone take an A chord with two fingers before. or is it supposed to be an Asus2..?

[countryclassic]

It's an A chord, 2nd finger covers the 3rd and 4th string, the 3rd finger on the 2nd string. A little opractice...works real good.

[willkarlos]

very good, very, very, very, from carlos.

[CaptainPrivate]

Like rccline says, you play the song in (pattern E) not D. Fogerty used a 3/4 size Les Paul! That used to bust everyone's nutz back in the 60's.........everyone played and plays it in D and it doesn't quite get the sound.

[ThomasIZBackkkkkkk]

that doesn't sound like john fogerty unless u got his recent version X D

[heyhowami]

its ccr moron

[Minotauros]

Am I right that the verse (D A Bm) strumming pattern is just DUDUDUDU... ?

[wizardeal]

you could, but remember the timing is 1&2mute3&4mute and you'll be fine

[El135o]

Don't forget that the LEAD guitar is played on a guitar tuned down a whole step to D-G-C-F-A-D. That means you play the song in E chord shapes.

The part presented here is the rhythm guitar part.

[rccline]

Your instructional videos are really cool!

Keep it up man/

Cheers.

Robert
