I've been playing those three songs since they came out on 45s (I'm 68). And I've watched a bunch of KZfaqs on "how to play" them, too. Yours is the first time I've seen the way John actually played it...tuned down a whole step. FIRST time! Well done.

You popped up on my feed a few weeks back…and I am so glad. In the past, I have played all 3 of these in covers bands from the 80s onwards. Always knew they didn’t sound right but you are spot on here. Goes to show…old dogs can learn new tricks. Great job bud. Break that 12 foot chain 👍

I've been watching your content for sometime and I continue to enjoy your lesson style. I've always wondered what the 12 ft. chain references and never would have guessed what the actual meaning is. You have now encouraged me to consider my self imposed barriers with learning guitar and to "break those chains". That may be the single most important lesson I could have received. Thanks for sharing.

Comment; I’ve watched a few of your videos and wondered about 12 ft chain. Your analogy is spot on. I grew up listening to “ccr “, stones, zeppelin, and could not figure out why I couldn’t get the sound exactly like the recording. Thanks to the internet and videos like yours I have discovered the wonderful world of TUNING. Thanks you New Subscriber.

Hi 12 foot chain/Doug. Thanks for this splendid lesson. I've been a fan of CCR since back in the day. It's kind of funny and strange, that they've made such a huge impact, although just being together for 4 years - exactly like i.e. Cream and yet still have been so loved by and admired for generations. Keep the goodies coming, Doug. ☮️❤️🎸

I sometimes have to watch some of the fingering a few times to get it, but it explains so much that I did not figure out on my own.. .. i thought the 12 ft chain was for a sailboat mooring anchor chain... I have a Holder 20 racing sailboat, and crew on a 32 ft racing boat also.. so that's the first thing that popped into my mind.. thanks for the videos... old guy...66 years old in Amston CT. going to get my epi elitist burst les paul out of the closet.. and turn up the old fender blues Deville

Thanks, this is a very good video. A good teacher with a good guitar tone. I wish i could watch this lesson in 95-96 when i was trying to learn songs with my first acoustic guitar. :) I also wanted to add songs "Run through the jungle" and "Heard it through the grapevine" both in D standard tuning. I remember i was going mad to understand what's going on with this songs.
