Joan Fogerty from Clarence Crapwater is a woman! Big up yourself!

[@peterbulloch4328]

Mate an Australian here, born in 62 I have always played my A chord with the ends of two fingers, the index and the middle fingers. Two fingers can hold down three strings easily no buzzing and can move freely to other positions no problems. A mate of mine told me to hold the strings down with one finger the middle one flattened like you would with your ring finger on a bar chord, I could do it but it was difficult. Love your content, lessons, knowledge and energy by the way. Keep on going mate.

John Fogerty is such an underrated guitar player 😔😔

[@c.a.g.1977]

I'll see your "John Fogerty is such an underrated guitar player" and raise you a "John Fogerty is a rock 'n roll God"

[@lordcajander]

@@c.a.g.1977, he definitely is

[@xtill8279]

I completely agree.

[@xtill8279]

@@c.a.g.1977 by all means, but I don't think it has entered common knowledge as one really, thus leaving him an underrated guitarist in my opinion.

[@c.a.g.1977]

@@xtill8279 Nope. Look up "Rock 'n Roll God" in your dictionary, you'll see a picture of John Fogerty.

[@CorbCorbin]

Anyone else watch Fogerty playing with his family during the pandemic? One of my favorite rhythm players, song arranger and band leaders. So many different styles in his guitar parts, yet his voice and phrasing make it always sound Fogerty.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Moi oui.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Yeah, that was so cool! Out in the garden on a bale of hay, strumming along with his kids! You can find those songs on spotify, not sure if I am allowed to share a link to it, but Fogerty's Factory, that's the "album"

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I grew up with a huge sword over my head, Vietnam. We were trying to stop the war since I had a couple classmates that lied about their age, came back and one of them put a bullet in his head. For a band that had great songs to help in the movement to stop the war, CCR was really at the center. I'm trying to stop wars still, and there are many wars. I have John Fogerty songs for my inspiration, to give me strength. Great video showcasing his work. Leadbelly was such an inspiration for many guitarists.

[@daleduke1315]

Yo, GP, I learn so much from you, been playing pro/now old man pro 😎, since 1964, you have a special talent, and not trying to be bullshit comedian. Respect.

[@DevadipEric]

Always a pleasure to start the WE with a video from Guitar Pilgrim 😁

[@alessioperlini6792]

Absolutely my favorite guitarist together with scotty motore... So many inspiring and iconic songs, at the CCR time and later in his solo career... And his sons are good too..

[@alessioperlini6792]

Scotty moore of course...

why doesn't this guy have a million scribes? Been watching for over a year.. great channel.

[@deweyhobie]

You do a great job of explaining the music and style of John Fogerty to non musicians like me. Your videos are very enjoyable. I would love to see you do a video about the Allman Brothers and the different styles of Greg Allman and Dickey Betts.

[@fabientissier1218]

I love CCR... One more time the zoom on that part of the song is such fantastic !!!!! Thanks a lot from France

Hallo Guitar pilgrim, all your Videos are verry good. You are an verry good guitarplayer, singer and this positive way how you teach music is exzellent. I hope you will go on for a long time, because I think this is the best motivation for so many people to make music. +1

bonjour de France je trouve vos cours excellent merci les chansons des Beatles son mes favori

[@nickbrouwer9643]

Just a few weeks ago I copied the way you use the A chords (in a differtent video). I always had problems with this chord, but since then not anymore. Thank you! And CCR was my favorite band when I was young. Had all their albums and stil love their songs today (and so do my children after all our vacations when they "had" to listen to CCR in de the back of the car). I think he's an amazing guitar player, but I have to say that imo the time with Doug Clifford and Stu Cook was the best. For me they also were a big part of the Creedence sound.

[@1twangmaster]

Nice job brother! I love Fogerty!

[@alexandretavares1285]

As always you make it sound so damn easy! ;)

[@nickbrouwer9643]

And when you go to your room and pick up your guitar suddenly it's not that easy! Always the same: the videos are very inspiring (lot of respect for GP, every Friday a high quality video), but on the other hand it often makes me feel like "I will never learn to play proper guitar!".

A massive part of the credence sound was fogerty’s les paul all strings dropped a whole tone. bad moon rising, midnight special, fortunate son...among many others.

[@traxblood]

John is an American Icon not just a musician. After all the sacrifice and death etc. to hold on to Democracy the country is filling up with morons vomiting conspiracy theory's. This man is a Hero in many ways. Where is the kindness, love and patience he's sung about over 50 years?

Did he actually play guitar in those songs?

[@dominikkurowski3145]

@@CorbCorbin No, but he composed them.

[@CorbCorbin]

@@dominikkurowski3145 Cool, thanks for the info. Many get turned off by the more experimental, or weird(depending on one’s opinion) work, and miss out on some of his more accessible stuff. He was actually a pretty soulful singer too. I used annoy a friend of mine by saying that Beefheart sounded a bit like Bob Seger sometimes. He hates Bob Seger. 😄

Bruce Springsteen called him the Hank Williams of their generation.

:-) The A chord? I play it with one finger (my middle finger). It's hard at first, but later practicing this technique will help you a lot; it frees all your other fingers

[@markh7523]

when you showed the diagram of the a pentatonic scale [ 2.51 ] was that the E first tuned to D?

[@jonasclementdk]

Looks like a typo to me, the guitar was definitely in standard tuning :)

You forgot to mention that he is also a fantastic singer. Especially in the CCR years; listen to his growling on Born On The Bayou. Later on he started to sing in a higher pitch, somewhat to my regret.

You're absolutely right, his vocals are the best!

[@nickbrouwer9643]

One of my all time favourites by CCR. It goes on and on and on!

Have you directed Lindsey Buckingham? His picking on Big Love is impressive.

[@brunnegd]

Oops, autocorrect interfered. I meant dissected.

[@michaelsingley5641]

Just sheer nosiness but, that Strat with the .011s on it (I'm assuming it's in Standard tuning) is the only electric guitar you have? Nothing wrong with that just curious. Ur a great player.

That's the only one, I would like to get a black Gibson one day though!

I Actually Learned alot of John Fogerty but the solo "blues stuff" not strummumg... cool Water? Born on the Bayou! It's embarrassing I've been playing over 40 years I don't remember all the Fogerty songs the names of the song but I know how to play them...

[@JayRedding12_12]

My dad finds it more comfortable to play A chord that way. He got me into John Fogarty.

It is safe to assume that you have spent several hours on the guitar for sure.

[@windyhillbomber]

I can’t agree with the A chord fingering. The traditional method works fine but hey, each to their own.

[@mikaelsjoberg1894]

No - above all , he is (was) one of the absolute greatest singers in the world - number two he is one of the absolute best guitarists and number three hes up there with Neil Young when it comes to songwriting. Beatles was in a class of their own. And they were four. Also when it comes to CCR - the band , drums , bass and Johns brother on guitar was a really , really good band. John solo is nothing compared to Creedence.
