[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Should I like this? Wait, you are playing the band that helped keep me out of Viet Nam. And yet my friends that had to go to Viet Nam were also listening to CCR. This was a band that was a product of their times, but also they contributed to breaking the mold of those times. The Military Industrial Complex was eating us up alive, as well as lots of Bayou Rats around the world, and John and CCR played meaningful music that move people. You do that as well. You are a Guitar Master, Pilgrim. You send that mood and can move people. Ok, I will smash that like button. My only regret is that I can only like it once.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

That’s true!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I will delve deeper into that stuff in the upcoming kick ass video!

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

@All About Guitars thanks for the information. I love this channel.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I will look into that!

[@bluwng]

You do everything on your one single coil Strat in a day of musicians owning dozens of guitars. Admirable

[@WeyounSix]

Amp modeling combined with really good playing

[@alessandromorosin5498]

Gotta say, that strat sounds sick on these fogerty jams and riffs! Wow . Almost like a SRV version of credence

[@bluwng]

@@WeyounSix assumption

[@WeyounSix]

@@bluwng No, he made an entire video on it pal

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

A single Strat or Tele style guitar is all you need really. They are both far more versatile guitars than humbucker-loaded models such as Gibson in my opinion.

[@gund2281]

John Fogerty is a GREAT example of how you don't have to be some insane virtuoso playing licks that only a few people on the planet can play in order to play a great solo!

[@seanfitzpatrick7878]

CCR was one of those rare bands that put out albums with no fillers. I genuinely like almost every song they ever recorded. Back when we would buy an album because of one amazing song and often realize that there's only one song on the entire album that we love, CCR was the exception.

[@marcoechavarria7274]

In the short amount of time they were officially together, literally nothing but classics were put out.

[@craigdamage]

"Ramble Tamble" blows every single one of those away. So darkly sad and sublime sounding. "Ramble Tamble" starts off as a typical CCR Rockabilly style stomp but then when the guitar solo instrumental section in the middle comes on out of nowhere is is absolutely stunning. Fogerty's epic high water mark I say.

[@RC32Smiths01]

CCR is one of the most iconic sounds of all time! Amazing riffs all around indeed!

[@TenThumbsProductions]

I think heard it through the grapevine is my favorite. Those big leaps that match the melody are amazing.

[@shlomoshekel]

My little cousin loves ur uke lesson :)

[@robhand7205]

We can all learn from the "less is more" Fogherty approach. Cheers.

[@jamesmilton8765]

Man, you are my favorite guitar demonstrator on the web, not only because of the sheer energy and skill that goes into your playing, but also (and important) is that you keep the chat to a minimum to simply explain what is needed. So many others waffle on for what seems like hours before actually playing anything.

[@justinlarsen2281]

“I put a spell on you” is easily one of the greatest solos of all time. It’s insanely good. Always on my top

[@johnnyneverletmedown53]

Yes, John should get more git cred, just on that solo alone. He never did but. But he should have, same with Q, Grapevine and Chooglin. Everything right where it should be, same in Green River. Don't know why he 'talks down' most of his earlier playing now that he tries to play like Brad Paisely. He should be proud of it's gritty earthiness.

[@anoicinfo4414]

It is the greatest solo in rock history. Period I can’t explain why, but it just is.

[@gunsofsteele]

I play that solo up to the first bend & then I keep hitting the bend over & over until I see tears rolling down my wife's face. Only then do I know it's perfect. 😎 Ask her & she will say, "Help! He's trying to drive me crazy!" 🤣

[@lionelhunt3610]

Dude! I dig your story telling and playing! Rock on brother

[@thedude6307]

Yeah the story telling is what sets it apart. Good balanced videos.

[@ALong-fo5so]

Fogerty isn't the most technical or fastest but boy he comes up with the coolest licks. BTW what a salute to a legend. Great playing. Comes really really close to the feel and original touch of the great man.

[@JB-gw8ee]

He just hooks you in. You can't turn away.

[@vojtaz9518]

John Fogerty is really an underrated guitar player...

[@grene1955]

When I was a young punk kid, starting to sing in rock bands, (1970's) I thought John Fogarty was only an "OK" guitar player. Eventually I came to realize that he can do more with three notes than a lot of players can do with the entire guitar. And he created his own, distinct sound . Not many can make that claim. Much respect. Also, much respect to you sir, for your incredible playing and enthusiasm!

[@PAM6901]

Hello. I am French. I wanted to tell you that you really are an exceptional guitarist. Capable of reproducing all styles of "pop-rock" guitar. I'm 66, I've seen and heard these guitar heroes. But I find you exceptional. I wish I had a teacher like you. You have everything. Cheer

[@teamhex]

CCR is one of my favorite bands of all time. I feel like they're under-rated or over looked sometimes.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I agree, CCR is one of my favorite bands as well! There's nothing better then Born on the bayou, as far as I'm concerned!

[@CorbCorbin]

Fogerty is. His band mates were assholes who couldn’t do shit without him.

[@rundoetx]

Top 4 American rock and roll bands. (in No particular order.) The E Street Band. Tom Petty And The HeartBreakers. Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Doors.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I do not quite agree, that drummer and bassgitarist definitely have their own unique sound, a good band is only a good band when all members contribute, wouldn't you agree?

[@rundoetx]

@@CorbCorbin Don't confuse CCR' S legal battles and later name calling with how well they worked as a band. John was the driving force by his own choice. But good music is only good music until the right players meld together, and CCR certainly melding and became one of America's greatest bands. Having had the pleasure of seeing them onstage, I was lucky enough to witness the interplay first hand. That'd the true test of a great band.

[@Capillus]

I know that it's a matter of taste but, the solo on "Pagan Baby" is one of Fogerty's best. The track is also very underrated; it is probably one of the rockiest Revival tracks. Pure energy!!!

[@rudolfbittnermusic]

This guy is a killer on the guitar! 👏 Bravo.

[@robclancy6001]

Yeah man and the piano

[@gladyssellar6408]

Green river is a good tune too

[@timsharkey1993]

These solos were always just what the songs needed. Nothing more, nothing less. And you captured that spirit perfectly.

[@bigdaddy4294]

You're attack is amazing! Also John Fogerty is one of the most underrated guitarist ever, just a brilliant musician.

[@gerardoalonso6229]

I congratulate you for your talent and thank you for showing how each song is played. There are people who find it difficult to get a guitar solo and thanks to you the path is easier. thank you

[@TokyoBlue587]

Yes! Finally CCR gets some more credit, I feel like they've been overlooked lately. They were great. I'd love some lesson videos for each of these songs.

[@sharktroubles]

Guitar Pilgrim's one of my musical heros. He seems like a great human being, too.

[@Desert9999]

Dig your sound, rare to see proper vintage sound these days without pedals and too much overdrive, also your videos are very very inspiring! Keep up the good work!

[@joewalsh8217]

My favorite version of I put a spell on you. The solo has so much feel

[@ronnieo9571]

That was fun! That "I put a spell on you" sounded like it had a lot of Link Wray going on inside of it.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

oh yeah, Rumble by Link wray, that has to be one of the best guitar records ever!

[@jeffren70]

I saw Fogerty about a year ago. He put on a great concert and sounded fantastic.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

It’s amazing he still has that great voice!

[@markmarkofkane8167]

Thank you. John Fogerty is one of the best guitarists ever!!!!!

[@kevinb9327]

I love "Put a spell". One of his best in my humble opinion. Your cover was AMAZING 👍💯

[@Daniel_Antonio_Arellano782]

I had probably commented on this post before but I have to tell you that this is the best John Fogarty guitar playing I've ever heard other than John himself! And even that brief singing was right on the money.

[@eduardoescobar566]

Lodi, what a song!! It's a song for everyone who has been stuck for years, it really change my mind. Thanks from México.

[@seanjoseph3813]

I always change the words....Oh Lord, I’m stuck in low gear again 🤣

[@rizalpunio5919]

lodi petmalu

[@kel72ong]

Up around the bend guitar intro is also very catchy. More a riff then a solo perhaps. All the same ... infectious guitar sounds.

[@gibby9298]

One of the best songwriters of all time, and a very underrated guitarist aswell.

[@angelovalerio1969]

Your rendition of "I put a spell on you" is amazing and hauntingly beautiful. Speechless.

[@sandyamaulana2317]

This video popped up in my KZbin recommendation for... reason. John Fogerty is such a great guitarist, very understated and also underrated. When I started learning how to play the guitar, certain CCR songs were the staples of my practice. My favorite has to be "Tombstone Shadow". That single note part of the second solo is almost a religious experience to me!

[@TheAzmountaineer]

Very nicely done! Like a lot of people my age, Fogerty was a big influence on me as a kid. Still is, come to think of it.

[@Wooblidoo]

Melted my face with that last guitar solo! You even had a Patreon jam to go with it.

[@ppvk2610]

Same here

[@abhinishsingh3603]

Lodi lines Ran out of time and money Looks like it took my friends..😢💔just touches me hard every single time I listen to it..😔

[@saepiumv3813]

How can anyone dislike this? Awesome video again!! 👍 Bedankt!

[@BBQ1953]

SUPER tutorial, Thom! I first tried to learn Lodi, start to finish (with intro, fills, bridge, & solo) when I was 16. I had a Sears Silvertone Strat and an embarrassing, southern-engineered amplification system that I, to this day, refuse to call an amplifier. I struggled with Lodi but I nailed Born on the Bayou! That was 1970. Over the years, I learned several of the songs but you’ve inspired me to return to that catalogue and master all 10 of those songs. Thanks!

[@cloudbudget]

THANK YOU for this episode!!! You are an incredible talent and you deserve so much credit for noticing the underrated genius of John Fogerty on guitar. I have been telling people for years that the solo of the Credence version of "I Put a Spell on You" is, all considered, perhaps the greatest and certainly the most under-appreciated guitar solo. I say this because the solo tells a story of an anguished mind filled with dismay, rage and insanity. To create a solo that fits the song so perfectly in terms of the narrator / main character is simply unparalleled. When I saw the title of your video I thought, "He's got to choose "I Put a Spell on You" as number one, but what if he doesn't!? And you did!!! Thanks!

[@stipcrane]

The piano solo at the end was brilliant. After the raucous "I Put a Spell on You" it was very calming to have the demons chased away by the cool waterbrook sound of the piano.

[@lafreeway]

Man, you make guitar playing fun. Sometimes, I get so caught up in trying to play too technical and forget why I started playing in the first place. Thanks.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

It’s all about the enjoyment and the feel, who cares about being a perfectionist! It’s 90% feel and immersion and 10% technique in my book

[@mugginsdot]

Guitar Pilgrim your video here has me hankering to go grab my STRAT,patch into my Fender Mustang 3,rethink my approach on what to learn and get out of my guitar playing rut!

[@nickbrouwer9643]

Feeling totaly happy now! A lot of my favourite solo's.

[@tw8454]

you NAILED both John tones. Forgerty and Mayer, oh baby do i love this.

Came for the CCR...and was pleasantly surprised by the piano at the end. How beautiful. Excellent video sir.

[@urfuturo6467]

You really nailed it! Many thanks for an inspiring lesson.👍🎸👏

[@LightningDogg]

Great playing and commentary. I loved the keyboard at the end as well. Very pretty.

[@BlackRaven156]

WOW, you do those solos justice! Great work, my friend!

[@Sandstorm9562]

You have one of the nicest classic Strat tones I've ever heard.

[@crowhaven200]

Watched it again...lol. (and will watch it many times). You are an amazing talent. I learn more fro you than anyone on youtube, and get to enjoy the music while watching you play and tell stories.. John Fogerty is one of the best of all time. CCR is imbedded in my being. Maybe the best, but I don't like making competitions out of music. I am so glad John is back to touring and playing. He has so many songs that everyone recognizes immediately and you can sing along to. Thanks for picking him. I can't wait till you do another one of these. Godspeed. Love the piano at the end. Beautiful. :o)

[@matthewstreb6886]

Wow. You're a phenomenal player with a great feel for Fogerty's tunes. Thoroughly enjoyed, sir!

[@rundoetx]

[@RobJ1929]

I have to say its been a very long time since I heard CCR lead solo's. You done them justice! I have listen to them over and over again and passed them off to friends that will enjoy these. I wish I was in one of those bars to listen to you play. I do not come close or know anyone that is that good as yourself. I am going to watch all the youtube clips you have. I just love to listen to the music I grew up too since I was born 59 years ago. Thanks again.

[@agentrocky9390]

Glad I'm up, just got done watching Dom Fera and AVGN, then a new video by you pops up!

[@craigallen9461]

Great playing and wonderful background info. Thanks for a nice flashback session. Nice selection too! Most obvious but some lesser known gems.

[@butch3715]

I've watched several of your video's. Amazing playing. I'm also amazed how you can remember all those songs.

[@ronaldrickard3551]

Yer vids are such a treat

[@jbrobertson2758]

"Commotion" is one of the few songs that start with a solo and continues with a solo build during the break. One of my faves!

[@randypenn8763]

Absolutely Brilliant playing GP!

[@hervevdb]

Oh boy ! I really enjoyed your “go through CCR solos”. It was veeeeery professional Thank you.
