[ZuurstofNL]

That's some nice playing, sounds great man! Keep on rocking!

[objuan6]

That's just what I was going to say!

Looks like you were having fun with this one. I read on one of your posts you used to be in a band when you were younger. Maybe you still should be. You've definitely still got what it takes!

Love this...shows a little bit of a rebel side. By the way, were you performing in your jammies..LOL!!

[Nephi2006]

@Nephi2006  Thanks Nephi!

[frozenwhitebear]

Sounds GREAT! Ur looking healthy. BTW Wheres Uncle Lester?

[2wheelsturnin]

Thanks, h. The Lester is the main guitar in this song, I just used the Squire Tele for the rythym and the video.

Great job!! I am a big JF and CCR fan...and you did this one right!!! looks like you changed the key from the original...sounds great with your voice...kinda like Bob Seger...GREAT JOB!!

[2wheelsturnin]

THANKS mikey. This song is done in A with the guitar tuned down one step, as Fogerty does. The second rhythm guitar plays in G, in standard tune, which everyone thinks is the correct key. I just tuned the guitar down more than one step so I could sing it. Check Fogerty's own videos, it's done in A which allows that bass note in the beginning to ring out. Glad you like it!

[2wheelsturnin]

Sorry mikey, I confuse MYSELF sometimes. I actually tuned the guitar UP to suit my voice. The A and G tunings still apply.

[MrNormsHGW]

Nice job, ya had the sync down real good...

[2wheelsturnin]

Thanks MrNorm, it's a lot closer than some of my others LOL.

Great cover Jim...you do yourself an injustice...NONE of us are what we were 30 years ago...that's probably a blessing. keep 'em coming.

[2wheelsturnin]

Thanks Bill, I guess I was feeling my age after blowing out my voice on this. I used to sing like this all night LOL.

[jugnutgut2]

I had this on a 45 and played the grooves out of it :).. well done Jim!

[2wheelsturnin]

Thanks jug, it means a lot especially since you know this song so well.

[auntoni51]

[2wheelsturnin]

Thanks ione marie - what I didn't say was that my voice was shot after doing this twice LOL. I'm glad you like it.

[marcie99]

[2wheelsturnin]

Thanks marcie (kat) - let's see what you say when I'm propped up in my walker, still playing and singing on youtube LOL!
