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.]
@@twkotb Actually, it makes it an R...
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. 👍
I've always wondered that. So glad you posted this.
Guitar pleb here. You explained it PERFECTLY but I still couldn't discern the two guitars. No wonder it's such a brilliant tip!
Excellent job Doug!
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent job spot on
I play this song everyday and my wife is getting annoid, funny
Well done!
Now you tell me. I was in a band 1974 and we played that song in run down bars, Holiday Inns, Frat parties and schools. Everyone loved it. I only knew standard tuning.
Awesome!
Great explanation
Um, ya! I was wondering that exact thing today😮!
Thank you!
Dude I learn so many nifty tricks from you🤘
Awesome thanks !
Nice man... Want to hear more from you...
Can you please do an in-depth lesson on Bad Moon Rising?
AWSOME 👍🏻👍🏻
Do you ever worry that your Bandmaster thinks it's Christmas 365 days a year...?
You nailed it! Love the blonde bassman in the back!
I did not know that.
Thanks
Yessss that's why and so cool
You da man!
That les paul is beautiful. Ive always preferred the solid color plain tops over the flamed bursts.
Good tone hommie
Way cool. BTW what is the color on that Les Paul? Beautiful guitars!
It's called translucent red
Keep playing it buddie.
Very cool..where did you learn this fact?
Very cool
Yep I hear that
Didn't know that!😎😎
I love
John would be happy
Greaaat
Mystery Solved🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
.без слов ясно
Вы прекрасный музыкант..
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You know what, I never knew this.
I absolutely did wonder why I couldn’t find that song’s sound
👍
Same thing happens in Bad Moon Rising
You're Good! RIP Tina Turner 24 May 23. 😢
Man, come on join with me and let's make a Creedence tribute band!
That's why it's not easy to replicate the original recordings
How old you sir starting playing guitar? It's a child question heheee but I like watching your fingers..
Started when I was 13/14
❤😊..
Beautiful red L.P.
I'll meet you halfway and tune e flat
🤯
🎸🎵💎😎👌
😁👍🙋👌
I love playing guitar but the guitar don't I have guitar at home too...
No I Never. Wonderd about that 😅
Did you hear that or did you learn it?
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
@@12footchain thank you!! It always amazes me when ears like your hear things like that. My ear can pick up things that laymen would never think of but yours are on another level!!
sounds like a 12 stings
.... I miss Tommy the fog!
I wish more kids know CCR. no disrespect, thats prolly my least fave car song, I dont know why. I listen to Chronicle religiously though! lol
Want to make it really sound authentic use a Rickenbacker.
Or you can just open tune and bar chord the intro.
Looking for job in the City, Awesome, could get you a job, on a Cruise ship.
skynard is the same way ....three guitars going for most of thier songs so it sounds empty
🤔…..so actually, if they had added just one more guitar tuned down 2 whole-steps then the song would have sounded even cooler! 👀…..but then that 3rd guitarist would have to play an F# bar chord….so, uh….🙄….
nevermind.
Lol
better tune saul goodman
Chords blah blah blah. All I see is that Blonde Bassman behind you.
Lol
Too bad that's as complicated as Ccredence got
I did know that
