Finally, someone who speaks a guitar " language " I understand ! I learned guitar at 10 years old. I haven't picked up my electric guitar in 3 years ! I plugged it in again tonight ! Thanks ! I turn 70 this year !
I've been playing those three songs since they came out on 45s (I'm 68). And I've watched a bunch of UA-cams on "how to play" them, too. Yours is the first time I've seen the way John actually played it...tuned down a whole step. FIRST time! Well done.
My friend your an excellent teacher… your calm, precise and you have a very clear way of explaining each song. You are one of only few with this unique ability. I would like too learn from you all I am able. Thank you again for your time.
You popped up on my feed a few weeks back…and I am so glad. In the past, I have played all 3 of these in covers bands from the 80s onwards. Always knew they didn’t sound right but you are spot on here. Goes to show…old dogs can learn new tricks. Great job bud. Break that 12 foot chain 👍
I've been watching your content for sometime and I continue to enjoy your lesson style. I've always wondered what the 12 ft. chain references and never would have guessed what the actual meaning is. You have now encouraged me to consider my self imposed barriers with learning guitar and to "break those chains". That may be the single most important lesson I could have received. Thanks for sharing.
You my friend, have the extremely rare ability to teach guitar, plus you are a phenomenal player from what I've seen. You project such calmness, and it's apparent that you truly want to help. Thank you so much, I subscribed!!!!!
this is a great channel... I sometimes have to watch some of the fingering a few times to get it, but it explains so much that I did not figure out on my own.. .. i thought the 12 ft chain was for a sailboat mooring anchor chain... I have a Holder 20 racing sailboat, and crew on a 32 ft racing boat also.. so that's the first thing that popped into my mind.. thanks for the videos... old guy...66 years old in Amston CT. going to get my epi elitist burst les paul out of the closet.. and turn up the old fender blues Deville
Comment; I’ve watched a few of your videos and wondered about 12 ft chain. Your analogy is spot on. I grew up listening to “ccr “, stones, zeppelin, and could not figure out why I couldn’t get the sound exactly like the recording. Thanks to the internet and videos like yours I have discovered the wonderful world of TUNING. Thanks you New Subscriber.
Great lesson and love the 12’ chain analogy…I constantly remind myself that learning to play guitar is a continuum and where you are is where you are and the key is to keep moving forward…good luck with your channel and I look forward to more insights about guitar and life 👍- TGD
I subscribed to your excellent guitar Chanel sometime during the past 3-4 years of insanity. Yesterday and today a couple of your older videos (this one included) popped up. I watched both videos. Always wondered what the 12 Foot chain was about. Great name for your channel. You inspired me to play again and now to break my own 12 foot chain.🤘
Great video, only increases my admiration for John Fogerty even more. John is a true genius who makes what he does sound easy, but nobody else in the whole world writes songs and sounds like him.
so I got the les paul out..the songs are really spot on sounding now using the tutorial.... I gave my son my 1970's Kustom 150 head ( they are so loud) and the 2/15 cab with the tuck and roll... mite have to get it back for the "fogarty" stuff
Sooo glad to have found that true Fogerty sound / tuning method and after all these years! Just very good luck? To have found your channel, thank you very much!
A very amazing guitar lesson - thank you so much. I know and like the CCR songs since the seventies. But I never the secret of John Fogerty's guitar tuning. It sounds great.
Gibson Les Paul, string it with heavy gauge strings and drop it down below standard to "D" tuning, playing the "E" postion & so on with the riffs, my experience was playing by ear and learning off the Record(60s,70s) and noticing that the song was actually In D but the tones were different and finally I realized that one guitar had to be tuned down to D tuning so you could do the Rifts in the proper position (E), as I noticed in a video of Tom and John Fogerty playing Proud Mary (on a video from way back when), can be done in D, but E is way to go. Same with badmoon & so on, great video , thanks
Really happy I found your channel, you're hitting on all my favorite music and your tutorials are filling a void for me that was created by the abrupt departure of James James. Thanks, I love your work!
12 foot chain Thanks for being such a genuine person and mentioning James James, he helped so many of us on our journey. Very best wishes to you from Northern Ireland. Subscribed 🌠👌
Thanks, this is a very good video. A good teacher with a good guitar tone. I wish i could watch this lesson in 95-96 when i was trying to learn songs with my first acoustic guitar. :) I also wanted to add songs "Run through the jungle" and "Heard it through the grapevine" both in D standard tuning. I remember i was going mad to understand what's going on with this songs.
I love Buddy Guy and listened to his version of first time I met the blues. There is a chord he plays and it's near the end of the song. It sounds so cool. I would love to know what chord he is playing. The riff is played directly after he sings the lyrics AHH blues why don't you let me be.

I am 72 this coming year. Lets get together and show the kids how to do it! LOL
Awesome! Stay with it, you're still young.
12 FOOT CHAIN!! The message is so powerful! Go beyond your limitations! Thank you sir

Same here and proud mary has been a dream but now it makes sense......❤

Speachless... What amazing musical and teaching capacities. Thank you !
Love this guy. Everything his says makes perfect sense. Tuning down to D gives that unmistakable JF tone. Another great video.
From an O.A.P in the U.K. you have done more for me since I found you than 5 years of tutoring. Paul King.
glad to hear it, thanks!
I just started playing around with this tuning on my telecaster and all of the old CCR songs more since
YES!! THIS IS WHAT I KNOW I HEARD, BUT NEVER PLAYED IT. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL: GOSH, WHAT AN AMAZING IMPROVEMENT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS 🎶🎶
Thank you, again, I like your explination of the chain. I just got to remember that. so hooked on my fingers doing what they always do.
You are the best! Simple, concise and to the point with your lessons. Keep em coming!!
The proud Mary mystery has intrigued me for literally over 30 years !
Great tutorial. I have always played them in the standard tuning. Now the riffs are much easier and sound correct. Thank You
Another great lesson Sir. It all became clear why it never sounded right. Much appreciated. Thanks
Amazing C.C.R. group, my fave since spring 1971 to now. ❤❤❤❤
You my friend, have the extremely rare ability to teach guitar, plus you are a phenomenal player from what I've seen. You project such calmness, and it's apparent that you truly want to help. Thank you so much, I subscribed!!!!!
I enjoy learning the right way to play these classics. Thank you
Try to find the Ed Sullivan TV appearance. Fogerty played chords and licks very differently than you'd expect
Loss for words man. Thank you.
Love your new channel!
Thank you very much, good teaching. Looking forward to more videos.
A cool 12 foot chain story. So true that we all do have our own 12 foot chain as an ax to grind.

Anyone can immediately understand you.

I just joined a CCR cover band, so this is exacty what I needed, thanks!
Great video, only increases my admiration for John Fogerty even more. John is a true genius who makes what he does sound easy, but nobody else in the whole world writes songs and sounds like him.
You're going to kick butt on the Tube!
Playing guitar is a never ending story! Thank you so much for your Story!
Great stuff man. Easy to understand. Thank you.
Your lessons are as just like hanging out and chopping on chords and licks! Thanks for keeping it fun!
Thank you!

Fine! I liked very much your lessons. Thank you.👋
Nice breakdown. You got that right!
Recently subscribed to your channel, then found this video explaining the 12-foot chain meaning. WOW!
Your channel is a goldmine! Thanks for putting out great content.
Thanks Gustavo! That means a lot.
Thank you. Great stuff . No wonder I couldn’t figure it out decades ago. Keep ‘em comin. Love the metaphor of 12 foot chain .
Bro! I always knew the standard phrasing was off with Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising! Thanks man!
Outstanding

I’m super excited about this, Doug!
thanks man - no idea what i'm doing, but i'm gonna do it
@@12footchain Obviously you do! It’s really well done and super helpful. Again I would love to see more tips and tricks with standard tuning.
This is awesome - I wish I'd learned to play guitar this way.
Great content- I'm ready to relearn those songs again
Hell yeah, man. Inspirational idea
You rock it, we rock it with you!!!!!!!!😊
Great story, great channel.
Very good! Amazing!. The trick of whole step down is a treasure
Fantastic ...Thank You.

Nice lesson good stuff
I knew about fortunate son and bad moon rising but i never suspected proud mary lol. great video
Thank you, much appreciated!
Thank you so much. I didn't know that rascal was doing that. I never could make it sound right.
Thanks, this is a very good video. A good teacher with a good guitar tone. I wish i could watch this lesson in 95-96 when i was trying to learn songs with my first acoustic guitar. :)
I also wanted to add songs "Run through the jungle" and "Heard it through the grapevine" both in D standard tuning. I remember i was going mad to understand what's going on with this songs.
Thank you very much for the lesson.!!
You are welcome!
Thank you very much! John's songs it's realy great! Peace&love✌️
great lesson, and now i know what the 12' chain symbolizes...
Thanks for this. I love CCR and am excited to try playing these songs again. I look forward to your future videos. Keep Rockin’.
Great insight.
I love Buddy Guy and listened to his version of first time I met the blues. There is a chord he plays and it's near the end of the song. It sounds so cool. I would love to know what chord he is playing. The riff is played directly after he sings the lyrics AHH blues why don't you let me be.
The 2nd guitar run up during the A-Bm lead sequence is played banjo style between the 2nd and 3rd string.
Ok. Subscribed after Maggie May, Yesterday, and CCR....
Thanks
Thank you! Tell your guitar playing friends :-)
I love Guitar sound!
Thanks for this. As you said something never seemed right when playing these.
Just discovered your channel,better late than never.....
Gotta keep tugging that chain buddy,thanks for a much needed reminder
Sounds ace thanks.
12 foot chain explanation = sublime. Subbed
Welcome aboard!

Lookin out my back door and midnight special ! Please.
