This song is so much more fun to play when using a tuned down guitar!

Sounds so simple to play most CCR Songs, that is until you start playing them and you realize there isn't anything simple about it. !!!! John Fogerty was (is!). a very, very talented musician,,he not only played flawlessly but was a fantastic singer and song writer, just an amazing individual and one of my favorites!!!! Way up there!!! TY Pilgrim. You know how to pick them bro. !!! 😎✌✝💕

Your teaching method is as refreshing as your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you for what you do.

Too simple to bother? No, once again a very enlightening lesson. Entertaining and very informative.

Just watched 3 or 4 lessons on this song- this one is by FAR the BEST! I especially like the way you explain how the ORIGINAL was played using whole tone down tuning and E B7 A chord shapes instead of D A G! EXCELLENT!

Another great video about another great performer/songwriter. John Fogerty shows that feel and expression are the things that can make a great song, and great music can happen even if you're not the most proficient person at shredding and instrumental pyrotechnics. Fogerty's songs defy you to not feel something when you hear them. Thanks for another awesome video.

Never heard better explanation about John’s part 👍👍👍👍

Great video. John Fogerty is a true songwriting genius like few other people. What seems "simple" is often extremely difficult to achieve. Writing a song like this is one thing----- recording it perfectly and delivering it to the whole world as a globally recognized hit for the rest of your life is another. Every Creedence Clearwater hit song was written by John Fogerty, except for "Suzie Q", which is astounding. And he's still playing live on tour to this very day.

Another super lesson from the master teacher. Thom you bring so much life and music into the three chords, as nobody else can do. Thanks for this wonderful lesson.

Terrific lesson of a great tune Thom! As you noted, it looks and sounds easy until you try it! Anyway, hope that you & your little one are doing well. 👍👍🎸🎸👏👏

Wow, the only tutorial to really explain what's going on and the subtle way it's played that makes it such a great song. You are an amazing player with a natural gift of departing your knowledge to others.

Merci beaucoup for this. The 1960s were a chaotic confusing time, a time of upheaval, and Creedence was a music that touched the soul. Many of my friends had wildly divergent tastes in music, but everyone liked CCR. Great playing, great lesson.

Can’t explain John Fogerty guitar without using the word "tasty"… which is a high honor. Thanks for this artfully clear dissection of a great song. Not once did you make us wince by saying "now place the third finger on the sixth fret, fourth string" the way most guitar teachers do. Very well done.

Hey hey .. that John's part is a revelation to me.. Thanx😍👌

1969, Frankie Chretien's backyard. First heard this life-changer. Rock and roll! Fell in love with Creedence that day. My Mom still won't listen to it, since I played it over and over to her ad nauseam. Thanks for the cool lesson.

dude thats the best tutorial for any song i've seen so far. amazing ! thank you so much :)

Brilliant! I thought I knew this song but there’s much more to it than I realised. Thanks.

Great Job on the video. I played this song back in the 70's growing up with all the great music back then. This video is great for people just learning these days.

This is the best guitar tutorial for this song, thank you so much. Never realised how straight forward it is. :)

Your passion and attention to detail is much appreciated!

That is the best lesson on youtube for this song - thank you!!

Great lesson, one of my favorite songs.

What a superbly brilliant yet so simple way to tune to that arrangement!

So much love the enthusiasm! Shows how much us rockers just want to jam out and leave the world behind! Keep rockin' On!!🤘🎸🤘

This is exactly what I was looking for! I found those other tutorials but they only explained the basic cords, never mentioned anything about the tuning John used. Thanks so much! 👍🏼🍺

Beautiful sound, great skill exhibited and a pleasure to revisit CCR. I began in 1970 playing drums to Travelin Band. Love it.

Awesome detail! That is a proper lesson.

You sure pick great songs for your channel. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Best tutorial I’ve seen. Great work my man

Love your explanation of this great R&R song! Goes to show how really great John Fogerty is & was!😀🇨🇦

WOW thank you GP. Brilliant teaching and the fun you put into it. Great video. Thanks. 👍

Thank you very much Sir ! This is a really great guitar tutorial . So honest and really true . You re the best for me ! KEEP DOIN THE RIGHT STUFF ! THX

Wow dude you are incredible. I won’t ask how you do it but that is a phenomenal breakthrough. Awesome

Thank you guitar pilgrim , youre analysis is always top shelf

You are very skilled and have an excellent sense of how guitars really work! Thanks! I've been playing since 1964 btw so I know a thing or two about it.

I just love this. Thank you.

Thanks Thom! This was the first song I ever learned to play with the guitar. It was 1969, just after the song was released. I was 11 then🙂 I did it Tom's way. (And still doing...) Thanks to you, now I'm not wondering anymore...📻

Thanks for your video's, I enjoy them a lot. Just gonna leave that here.

Nice! I learned this song a long time ago but never with the drop tuning. This sounds right!

Thanks for the wonderful tuning tip...

This a phenomenal analysis of the song. Thank you. Up until now I play D A G standard

Very informative! Been playing it ,,wrong,, since1972.thanks pal.

As soon as you talk about Elvis and Scotty,I feel happy Thanks for noticing that

Great teaching! Thank you.

Outstanding, flowing instruction.

never heard before the band name but loved to play the song.really nice song .thanks a lot for it.

Love that Gibson sound!

Love you GP. Very refreshing lesson. Thank u v v much.

As always it is the nuances which generate that classic CCR rhythm, some people think it is simplistic, but there are lots of details when you focus in

Simple yet involved

I really appreciate the attention to detail in this video. I'm getting kinda tired of "teachers" making easy content by doing short tutorials on popular songs like this with basic chords. I would like to believe if you were learning to play a song so you could actually teach it with some semblance of credibility, you would watch the original artists play it to see if there's something you're missing. That's how I came to this video cause I felt like the plain D A G chord progression wasn't quite what I was hearing.

Very good lesson, thanks !

Brother, your voice is like professional singer.....❤

I love your lessons!

Awesome job sir!

Very imformative guitar playing

Excellent tutorial, and it sounds great when the guitar's tuned down! It would be really great to see more CCR song tutorials like this, since some of those are tuned down as well! I hope you will consider this suggestion. Thanks again. Best regards.

Thanks for the lesson🙏

John Fogerty, underrated guitarist, had some great chops

Excellent, thank you. I’ve always played it in standard tuning including the solo. Now to experiment with drop D….

Awesome!!!!👍😎

Отлично! Спасибо!!!

Maravilloso mi amigo...saludos desde argentina!!

Great lesson 👍

So awesome that you’re bringing some CCR tunes back into the limelight. How about a lesson on their Ramble Tamble?

Geez and here I thought I was playing it correctly all this time! Well kinda was but this is a fantastic lesson. Now I have to relearn it! Thank you

Sweet,,,,,thank U.

This sympactic guy does very good tutorials

Teaching the technical David Gilmour sir. Terimaksih banyak from indonesia

Cool I learned it up the neck years ago. Gonna go back and okay it this way

John haircut is underrated!

Brilliant 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻

There's a bathroom on the right! :)

Iv got a lot time for you amazing talent 👏

I've been saying this for years - about the Scotty More/Elvis influence on this song. In fact I think the track off the Sun Album which is closest to these licks is You're Right I'm Left She's Gone. So I was really pleased to watch your analysis. Maybe this is where the 'revival' part of their name comes from? :)

Thanks a lot

You're a genius

Well done 😊

De niro said,you gota gift my friend!

Thanks! :)

Cool!

Best tutor

GreaT JOB!

Thanks

Sounds very much like I‘m Left, You’re Right, She‘s Gone - even down to the guitar solo.

The genius and the 3 judas

Thanks G.P now I know.

That was one of my first songs to learn to play, it simple and easy! Thanks for sharing it and I've started working with the drop D tuning which makes it more fun to play!!

thx

Most songs on the _Green River_ album are in the DGCFAD tuning!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Парень ,сделай программу на РУССКОМ ЯЗЫКИ и тебя будут смотреть и слушать миллионы !

please please please, can you do a tutorial on how to play Eric clapton's unplugged "circus" version

I recently came across a lot more songs from CCR and this one stopped being my favourite,compared to down in the corner and born in the Bayou,just brilliant songs

X Dios!!!! Como sonaban los 4 juntos ...increible ...pueden tocar los mejores , pero ese sonido es único e irrepetible...

👍👏

You don't discuss it here, but a key component to Fogerty's playing is immediately muting the strummed chords as he plays them.

Great tips n tricks! The downpitch is the killer! But you forgot the intro 'in between' strokes in the A and G chord! However anybody will find out themselves of course. Thanks anyways!

CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" and also John Fogerty's "Big Train from Memphis" are very similar to Elvis'/Scotty Moore's "I'm left you're right she's gone"

A love your tutorial. Thank you, I am pretty sure John is cutting the cords short (stops them from ringing too long) in the intro, they seem to come to an abrupt end. Am I hearing it correctly?
