    Fun fact: Like many older country songs about trains that used a rhythm that emulated a locomotive, the rhythm of Proud Mary emulates the rhythm, or "set" of a steamboat paddlewheel as it strikes the water with its boards.

    Glad you threw the solo in. Such a simple piece, but really sets the feel good mood of the song. Great job on the video

    It's called scordatura. The tuning of two instruments to different pitches, which are then played in duet. I usually hear it on violins. First time I've seen it on guitars.

    The detuned guitar part has a C# note added to the E chord with the pinkie on the second string on "beat 2" and "beat 4". This is a "way cool" sound by John Fogerty!

      It’s actually a D chord..shaped like an E chord… so the C# is the 7th of D… makes it a dominant chord..👍🏼

      @@joeurbanowski321 If the “E maj” shape is really a D maj, then the “C#” is really a B, so that would make the chord a D6.
      To sound a D dom7, you would have to put your pinky on the “D” (which is really C)
      [Also, just to be extra pedantic… For dom7 chords, the flattened seventh (or “dominant seventh”) is used, not the seventh. Adding the seventh gives you a maj7 chord, not a dom7 chord.]

    Yep that was really neat the way John did that
    he doesn't get enough credit for what he did back in the day with ccr and how he crafted that swampy sound.
    He's the one that told Tom to play in the standard tuning and he's going to drop a whole step.

      I realized this trick a few years ago while working on Bad Moon Rising. It frustrated me for years that it did not sound like the record, then I was like WTF? How did I not see that years ago? Tune down a full step and your D can now be played like an open E. BANG......CCR sound.

      Yes! Many people don’t realize what an innovative and clever player he was for the time. My first attempt at playing a lead part back in the day was Side of the Road. Never got it exactly right but he inspired me to sit on the edge of the bed and put the needle back in the groove over and over. Truly one of the greats. 👍

      Difficult to answer. I will say I always heard....SOMETHING, and didn't fully realize what it was. Once youtube became a thing I noticed videos of him playing it with E shaped chords and then the light bulb went off. I never saw him live so never knew that a bunch of those CCR songs ate done that way on his Les Paul custom tuned to D standard
