Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival | Guitar Lesson

[@rudigerschrodel7911]

At the age of 66 I finally understand why CCR sounds like CCR. Thank you. Greetings from Germany!

[@stevelee2471]

That Les Paul sound is a perfect match. Beautiful guitar too!

[@Delzona]

I just love the bit of history and information that you bring with each song! Love your content!

[@macc7245]

Thanks for the breath of fresh air!

[@kevinmalone8903]

I like it when you play the songs at the very beginning so some of us can see and get the gist instead of having to go through the whole video. You have done this in previous videos. But these are great tutorials either way

[@12footchain]

Yeah i understand. Was in a rush this week, so time was limited.

[@tajvida8710]

As usual, you’re pretty much the only guy on YT giving accurate instructions on how to play this song the right way…you’re quickly becoming the only channel that matters…Bravo & thanks! 👏👏

[@12footchain]

Wow, thanks!

[@user-ql1pc7pi9x]

But he's missing out the little lick in the 2nd and 3rd verse.

[@notyrants]

Great lesson. Your voice is always so pleasant.

[@johnutah293]

The only person who got it right! Awesome playing

[@ivandoucet597]

Thank you, solved a mystery.

[@jakollee]

LOL, when I was a kid, I also thought the lyric was "There's a bathroom on the right"! Great lesson, thanks for pointing out about the whole-step down tuning on this and other CCR songs. I once posted a tab for the intro to Fortunate Son on Ultimate Guitar explaining that tuning and tabbing as though the song played is in "A," and got some nasty responses telling me I was nowhere close!

[@chris5222]

This is lovely, your work is fantastic thank you

[@RufusSka99s]

Love this kind of stuff and different tunings. I grew up with CCR, this is a great video, THANKS!

[@JS-nf1sn]

Another awesome lesson. Thank you.

[@JuanMoreGame]

It was nice that you left in a couple little flubs, at first glance Fogerty's chord type leads seem so simple but once you try them you realize he's a damn good guitar player in. Thanks for the lesson, like many on here you're one of my 'go to first' instructors.

[@STVG71]

Another great lesson! Thank you very much for your hard work :)

[@GaryBook]

GnR & Velvet Underground love to tune down to Eb, I see John tunes down a full step. Standard D tuning. You always give the best insight & information on the songs & artist. You are both a musicologist & great musician!!!😊

[@lenspin14]

Excellent info and teaching style! Thanks! Will be a regular student.

[@djmojolosangeles8190]

Just found your channel - Subscribed :) love CCR and the way you break down the tutorial, please keep them coming, thank you! Awesome lesson!

[@12footchain]

Welcome! Tell your friends 😀

[@jayson1979]

Nice to see the real way played . Thanks for the video

[@rikdriscoll2160]

Great lesson! Thanks so much 👍

[@frabis1]

Nice job - so many of us pre-internet played John's parts wrong without realizing they'd been tuned down. What also adds to the fullness of the mix is a partly buried acoustic rhythm part Tom played on a Gibson J-200 as well as a single note palm muted line that's hardly audible (to me, only from the stems). Who knew so much was going on?

[@fredruhoff8576]

Exactly! "Pre-internet" I had no clue where alternate tunings were used (and with Kieth Richards, for example). If playing lead solo on this song in standard tuning it's best to improvise to get something that sounds close. That nugget about the Gibson J-200 is interesting, too.

[@mrcurtis73]

Great lesson! I’ve been looking for an accurate lesson on BMR for a while but nobody else seemed to get it right. 👍🏼

[@TheTwangKings]

Very nice work! I love playing these classic songs.

[@TomTom-kv5nf]

Yes please for more CCR 😊

[@stringmantony]

Great lesson!

[@wooferdevlin3571]

Outstanding!! Congrats on the '68 type Standard, looks and sounds ace. I think the Guild is the Starfire. BTW, I use D'Addario XL 10-52s to keep the 6th string stable for down tuning D. Jolly good show!! 🐘

[@jimsteele9559]

Great once again, thanks. I’ll be checking it out. CCR Grapevine would be interesting as you mentioned, but whatever you do I’ll be tuned in. Thanks again.

[@ericgass7231]

Thank you for doing this.

[@mattdunes5065]

Satisfying lesson! Love Credence! What are the chances of doing a lesson on Jimi's Long Hot Summer Night? There are plenty of lessons that get the basics, but none that get it like the record! I believe you're the man for the job!

[@soulrebelno1]

I'm like the sound from your new Les Paul, the P90s sound great! A suggestion for a new lesson, how about "Angel" by Jimi Hendrix. 👍

[@meljames52]

Love the CCR tunes... So many more to do. Is Born on a Bayou on your todo list? You're making great content. Mel

[@12footchain]

Thank you, and yes, on the list

[@Authorityoneverything]

Thank you I never knew why I would throw my guitar down in frustration trying to figure out ccr

[@MrRontac]

Awesome lesson 💯💯… please do Heard it through the grapevine.. thanks 👍👍

[@paulahiggins4725]

Love your lessons! Tuning down for CCR songs was a great tip! Your explanations are very helpful too. Any chance you could give a lesson on Eric Clapton's (Michael 'Nesmith's) "I looked away" done by Derek and the Dominoes on their album in 1970 or 1971? Seems like a simple song, but having trouble with it. Thank you!

[@12footchain]

Thank you! Yes will look at that song

[@kendunn9810]

@@12footchain please do !

[@bradleyramondpierce133]

Your sound is killer🤘🏼

[@12footchain]

Thanks

[@1111MJR]

Great lesson. If you could do one on LA Woman by the Doors, that would be great, thanks.

[@briangisler1981]

That was great. I always loved CCR All my life since I was a little kid. I’m 54 now. American werewolf in London, this song made that a great movie. Question, is that a re-issue Custom made Les Paul or a original 50s? I’m a major Gibson guitar lover and player. I’m guessing not a original but still a absolute beautiful guitar and it sounds amazing.

[@12footchain]

The one I was playing? That's just a 2022 standard 50s

[@briangisler1981]

@@12footchain Ok thanks. Sounds Incredible.

[@randybackgammon890]

Great upload .Simple when you know how but thats genius for you.Just one thing what about the lead fills that answer the vocal on the second verse.Could never figure them out.Also is there an acoustic strumming somewhere in the mix?

[@djmojolosangeles8190]

Thanks!

[@12footchain]

Thank you very much!

[@djmojolosangeles8190]

@@12footchain You are very welcome, I really appreciate your tutorials! I hope to grow with them in my guitar journey! Been practicing CCR in standard tuning and some were not quite there, you helped me alot :)

[@thelolguy007]

Awesome 👏

[@rl11148]

You gave what’s called the keystone or the Rosetta Stone for all CCR songs

[@WhySoLoud]

would have been helpful to have the on-screen chord boxes for the Solo section also, but guess we can't have everything.

[@petestern3639]

Love it!

[@andregosteli2177]

I think there is a bit of confusion when talking about E-shapes and A-shapes. For me an E-shape is the same same shape an open E chord but as a bar chord when finger 1 takes the function of the bar and the other fingers for the same E-shap as an open chord. Similarly, an A shape is formed as a bar chord where finger 1 is marking the bar and two frets above we have the A-shape on the D, G and B string.

[@wahwalker]

nice job

YEEEAAAAHH THE BATHROOMS ON THE RIGHT

[@glendajane100]

Thanks

[@bandit4915]

This lesson is for First time guitar players

[@martinmcevoy4376]

Hi ! Love your work! Do you ever venture into Grateful Dead/Jerry Garcia territory? I picked up a 68 gold top reissue a couple years ago. I love the P-90's too!

[@12footchain]

Not my wheelhouse but eventually will get there

[@Alejandro-rh7sv]

Thanks all lot, ..!

[@rl11148]

Christmas came early

[@destarruction]

Are there any special strings that would sound better turned down like that 🤔

[@12footchain]

I was playing 9s, but yeah probably would be better w at least 10s

[@queasyRider3]

Dude, do you live at Guitar Center? Nah. Nice collection, though. Thanks for the inside scoop for the tune about the bathroom on the right.

[@orbituary]

Missing the Scotty Moore style hybrid picking in the rhythm parts

[@Phillip-y6d]

Xlent

[@timsharkey1993]

I was working on this in standard tuning but it’s easier to play and sounds better tuned down.

[@maplechill75]

🎶There’s a bathroom on the right!🎶

[@justinwiggy]

Great video. Leave the squeaky strap off next time 😂

[@BobK5]

😎

[@rexmonarch2]

Back in the day we used to sing along "There's a bathroom on the right..."

[@wakefieldyorkshire]

to save time the actual lesson stats at: 4.55

[@TheTimeProphet]

This is all very well, but I don't downtune for anyone LOL.

[@SyntagmaStation]

Go brother! Testify!! I’m with you! 😂

[@catloveralways]

There's a few of us

[@wiseguy9202]

I tune down a half step just to get a bit of extra chug.

That's cuz you are stuck. Stuck stuck

Ghost?

[@MrDoneboy]

No! Watch Fogerty play this classic song live, man!

[@weps2097]

Thank you for the tuning info... now I can stop butchering the song.

[@SyntagmaStation]

I covet his guitar. All of them, actually . . .

[@Gregorious2270]

What? You say John Fogerty tuned like this way before Motley Crue came along

[@rl11148]

B7 okay

[@ingonowack3839]

There’s a bathroom on the right 🤔? Let me make a half turn and I‘ll agree 😏😬😂🥳😘!

[@WahrheitMachtFrei.]

Just call the shapes, forget the absolute key when you're tuned differently. We get it, it's in D, but as guitarists it makes no sense to call an open E (shaped) chord anything other than that shape.

[@johncarlo7395]

The video was too long for the content, it didn't need eleven minutes +, to explain a three chord song

[@Jason-td4hu]

Talk less. Play more. It takes SOOO long to get the lesson.

[@ThomasLieb-u7x]

Man quatsch nicht spiel
