    As always, clear and easy to follow instructions! Curious about one thing, though. You say it's an easy 4 Chord Tune, but you never play the C chord. Did I miss something?

    Awesome cover. What happened to the C-Chord? In the beginning of the video you said the C-Chord is in the song, but I didn't see you use it. Sorry if this has been answered before. Thanks again

    Love this tune. John Fogerty is probably my favourite songwriter (although he didn’t write this). Actually got to see him live in London in 2018 supported by Steve miller.
    Thanks for this video. All my electric guitars are in lockdown 25 miles away and all I have with me is my acoustic 👍

      I think it can sound good to switch between C/G or even D/C in this song instead of just doing hammer ons of D/G. I’m assuming he just forgot to do that but it can sound cool and add another dynamic to throw a C chord interchangeable with D/C instead of hammering on.

    To help us singing with you
    Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring,
    And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
    Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.
    But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man.
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me.
    Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
    By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore.
    Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand;
    She come to see the gov'nor, she wants to free her man.
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me.
    If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right;
    You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
    Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down.
    The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound.
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me.
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
    Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me.

      @rogerpoindexter7764 3 роки тому

      Its DDU(D)UDU also known as the most popular strum in the world. Thousands of songs use this pattern. In this song the 2nd and 4th D is a percussive strum. I was told by a guitar teacher and friend to practice that strum until you can carry on a conversation while playing it . The singing over it isn't a problem. Hope this helps.
