This one is a fun one. In the mid eighties you couldn't escape this catchy little riff just about every time you turned on the radio.
In seems like to me that the intro riff we are gonna learn for "Centerfield" by John Fogerty is highly inspired by the intro to La Bamba by Ritchie Valens.
In any case, this Centerfield guitar lesson presents some nice challenges for reasons you may not realize. The hard part of this riff isn't the notes that you are playing, it is keeping the notes that you don't want to be heard any more quite which is the real difficulty of this riff.
The problem stems from the fact that we have a single note riff here in that you should aim for no more than one note to be heard at a time. What makes that a difficult proposition is that we have a lot of open strings in the riff that have to be muted right as the next note sounds.
If you watch the video closely enough you will see when I playing the riff very slowly how I am using various fret hand fingers to mute those open strings to give the riff a nice clean sound.
If anyone is interested in learning this whole song simply like this video on UA-cam. After 600 likes I will teach the entire thing note-for-note. Until then, I think this opening riff will keep you busy for a little while. :)
Enjoy! Carl..
Love john fogertys music..Centerfield is a great song and fun to play once you get it down right!
Good job as always! Sure would appreciate Bad, bad boy lesson by John Fogerty. Thanks for your lessons. I appreciate the effort that goes into them.
i cant play this without playing LaBamba now.......
Great lesson!!!
Sounds like la bamba
John is one of the great innovators of modern music, right up there with Jimmi Paige. Thanks and hope you cover more of his licks and riffs.
Probably poor spelling ;) But if you really don't know you're in the wrong section of youtube.
Nice EJ Strat 👍
Well done. You are always clear and thorough.
Sounds like you have some buzzing frets. #Guitaradjustment

I was playing La Bamba and realized how similar the licks were..
And now I'm here.
Seriously, we all know where John got his inspiration. 😂🤣
