The correct way to play Bad Moon Rising by Creedence

[@saywhat4314]

Damn your voice suits this song so well

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Thank you!

[@nicolascruz7560]

He got a nice voice I’d like to see more covers

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Maybe soon

[@haeuptlingaberja4927]

I was a boy in the 60s when CCR came out, and while I already loved the Beatles and dozens of other bands, Creedence just hooked me like no other. To this day, more than 50 years later, I still get goosebumps when I hear songs like Born on the Bayou.

[@deere7227]

Absolutely nothing else compares

[@dirtyboy601]

In the song there are 2 guitars. One playing open d chord in standard, the other is down tuned and plays d in the e position

[@nanob0zo]

Ay. That was a pretty good rendition. Nice vocal chops.

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Thanks!

[@jamesoconnor9042]

CCR, my first concert ever. God bless John Fogarty. ❤️

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Wow that’s cool!

[@oswaldogarcia4144]

Fogherty did this with many of his songs including "Proud Mary," which has all the same chords as this song, and then some. I guess it's a more comfortable tone for him to sing in

[@kennethlippertshauser3376]

You're very talented my friend thank you for taking time out and showing us the proper way things should be played you my friend are a rockstar

[@Zack-bl2gg]

I remember when I realized playing the same chord but in a different placement made songs sound different, blew my mind

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

You learn the CAGED system yet? That's the one that opened my door. I realized the chords connect with one another, so I took that same energy to my mandolin and banjo, and they were also similar.

[@red_right_hand8376]

I love the song, I love the movie, and I love that scene. Thanks for showing us how to play it so well!

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

😁

[@johnharrison1126]

He wasn't dancing around the room to bad moon rising, he was turning into a werewolf.

[@stuartmiller7419]

lolz. It was kind of a pivotal plot point, I agree. I guess Creedence was just more memorable to him :-D

[@wyldelf2685]

Yes awesome music was playing and the guy was going through tormenting Hell while his body was painfully altering into canine shape , , , , too bad the sequel we got looked so crappy , damn early CGI , , , 😋😋

[@ohboy7790]

haha perception is a funny thing hey

[@Betterthantelly]

Ahhhhhhhh! That makes so much sense! Yet I’d not picked it up. Thank you. It makes all the little riffs a heck of a lot easier plus you get the open strings to jangle away.

[@RavenRedwood]

Thanks for mentioning this! It's a fun chunky bar chord riff, I find myself playing it almost unconsciously when dialing in drive+reverb

[@Joey7Z7Horror]

I'm a horror specialist and I can tell you that horror movies are great ways to learn about amazing songs. Final Destination introduced me to Dust in the Wind a year ago and now both are my favorite horror franchise and favorite song of all time :D

[@jaybee9269]

Same bro! I got into a lot of music from that movie…also Van Morrison.

[@trashbagLasagna]

CCR also in Twilight Zone the movie with " midnight special "

[@jordanevans7544]

Yep, I love that opening scene.

[@rcass5713]

John Fogarty is a legend. You nailed that!

[@thunderstruck5484]

Love the song and saw the movie several times in the theater, really enjoy your short videos excellently done, thanks

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

I saw it on video tape. I was way too young when it came out in the theaters

[@Bennett.R]

I love The Dead Milkmen shirt in the background! A fellow man of culture!

[@RealMelodyBlue]

I used to run around singing There's a bathroom on the right!

[@patrickmccarthy7068]

First time i heard the song was in that awesome film back when it came out, now i know why i can’t get the same sound!

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

But now you CAN get that sound!

[@robertthompson9004]

That is awesome Anthony!!

[@marokokisetter]

cool lesson man, keep on rocking - appreciate your spirit

[@notmillionaires]

I just love that we're the same age. From the Milkman shirt I wore all the way through 8th and 9th grade. To the movies we grew up on. Man him transorming was so gnarly. Didnt MJ use Landis for Thriller because of exactly that? I saw Thriller play the first time it aired on MTV. They played the whole thing at Midnight. My family and our close friends family all stayed up to watch it together. So cool. Plus Blues Brothers was my favorite movie then. AND STILL IS! LOL

[@mauriceclemens3286]

I never learned how to play guitar,I don’t have the talent, but I felt the same way when I first heard Credence on the radio in ‘69. Those were good days.

[@joeramadan1254]

Great sounding cover man!!!!! Nice vocal

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Thanks!

[@ryanedwards4512]

It wasn't the first time but it was memorable Great movie and great song

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Yup

[@falqar1.6]

More Creedence please

[@roland4ever22]

Your sir are spot on. I noticed the same thing. Great that someone else is thinking the same thing as me. 😅

[@dmiller7425]

Thanks man that’s eyes and ear opening for me 👍

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Right on!

[@loganwoelz2933]

Very good job more covers

[@professorpancakes6545]

Your videos are cool! Quite inspiring

[@Allison_Chaynes]

American Werewolf in London is such a great movie. Yes, that song stuck out to me too. Cheers

[@kastro99]

great voice!

[@richardmcdowell534]

This song was popular among soldiers in Vietnam.

[@julianbeira2492]

great singing too!

[@semdallinga69]

If you look at old footage, you’ll notice a Rickenbacker and a black Les Paul. The Les Paul is tuned in D, while the Rick is tuned in E

[@kevinmcgrath8310]

That’s exactly when I first heard it too , love d the movie and couldn’t get enough of CCR after 👍

[@Philo68]

Wow! Salute sir.

[@thebottles3153]

Mine was Mafia 3 and I loved it like Fortunate Son.

[@robertthompson9004]

I love you man good job you hit the nail on the head you caught that swampy sound you got it!!!😊

[@ac158]

I'm a very novice guitar player but when I learned to detune it opened up a lot.

[@robertthompson9004]

That was the first time I heard it as well. My sister and brother-in-law world hippies they said that's CCR!

[@leesloan8216]

thats a thick Tele body!

[@robertborden2666]

CCR made me appreciate jangly low distortion guitars played hard. There’s so much more happening when you ask the player to push instead of the distortion.

[@DanielBisagni]

This is great, I love your Dead Milkmen t-shirt, i stole one from my sister in the mid-90's.

[@rebeccabooth2970]

I love Creedence One of the 1st albums I bought

[@user-fz5kx5mi5y]

Very cool!

[@wyldelf2685]

That's a big help on that song , also that's quite a spiffy Telecaster you got there , , , thanks for cool video man , , , , 👍👽

[@schaind11]

I was supposed to see a Credence cover band last month but John Fogerty postponed it.

[@prettyshinyspaghetti8332]

XD ouch

[@schaind11]

@@prettyshinyspaghetti8332 I have 3 tickets in the 8th row. He still hasn't rescheduled.

[@johnhoover7278]

Great movie, great song

[@Crust_thug]

Bro beautiful playing and signing voice, good job

[@cgfftrophilessspursfan9952]

It's also in the book of the shining

[@alvillanueva2525]

He tuned down for Proud Mary and Fortunate Son as well.

[@ursafan40]

Great movie

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Totally

[@lewikono2781]

yeahhhhh man you got a good voice for ccr. can you show us all how to play cotton fields by ccr?

[@MymanBrodude3000]

He reminds me of my Rock band Academy teacher

[@amguanakickbooty5019]

CCR. A California band. Thanx for the tuning info.

[@jakeklutts864]

That’s where I heard it too. The whole soundtrack is songs with “moon” in the name

[@jaxyjax7208]

Youve gotta release a full length version of you singing this

[@MikeysGeetar]

This is interesting. Awesome man

[@Hamster123_]

I love an American werewolf in London

[@markduran9562]

Wow cool 😎 But he had never heard this song till 1981 Dam 😎🤣

[@aprylrittenhouse4562]

I saw that flick in the theater scared the shit outta me

[@gnawbabygnaw]

Cool. Thanks! There is video of Jack Pearson playing a Flying V at a museum. He’s tuned “three frets down” he calls it. Low E is C#. Can bend for Days. Hard not to. Fun! 🤙

[@TreVader1378]

At no point in the film does David dance around the living room to this song.

[@jaybee9269]

True…he’s locked out of the flat.

[@jamesbyers6720]

I don't remember dancing around to that song in the movie. I remember David being bored and unhungry right before the metamorphosis into the werewolf occurred.

[@justinx590]

Eyyy that's good! More singing please!

[@HappyBear376]

Jenny Aguter oh yeah baby!

[@jeffgarrison7056]

I tune most of my guitars down = ½ step, 1 step, 1½ steps, 2 steps, all of the guitars I use for my own music are also at A = 432hz instead of A440. I do so for a number of reasons: a deeper heavier tone/timbre, especially with thicker strings to maintain string tension, make it easier on my fingers, to change the keys of songs in E, A, D major/minor/modes, and to give songs a different mood/feeling/depth... You have a good voice.

[@AJSenju]

432 is effectively the magic tuning as well, as most instruments are tuned to 440h. 432 , is the key to the universe

[@wwill2516]

I believe that tuning is called " open D "

[@greghester2720]

Right about that swampy sound, de tuning thing is like a trade secret or something!

[@syloxgaming3895]

As soon as he said "Swampy sound" I immediately didn't think of a Werewolf but The Legend Of Boggy Creek, like Boggy Creek and CCR Bad Moon Rising go together pretty good, because you don't wanna be out at night in Boggy Creek or basically out at any night specifically lmao

[@petervasquez4135]

Bro that dead milk man shirt 👕 love it

[@clarkhull7546]

very interesting

[@carterthemainman5781]

I think all of CCR's songs are d tuning

[@mma1st105]

He tunes down for a bunch of stuff.

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Yeah I think so

[@kmican]

I think he may be playing a B7 instead of a B, at least on a video I recently saw of him playing for Howard Stern 😊

[@cenziapaulussen]

Good

[@donkeydesiamericanprofessor]

Love

[@DrB81]

-“A naked American man just stole my balloon”. -“What”?

[@chrissullivan4496]

He wasn’t dancing he was morphing

[@LuminaryCursorem]

I think you need a 70s Les Paul custom to play this song.

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Nah

[@laviniafranca2771]

The the dead milkmen t-shirt 🥹

[@theeasternfront6436]

Down tuning is something I so want to figure out.

[@NunyaDammeBiznis]

I knew this song from the 60's

[@dustinatkinson5744]

John's not a great looking man but that doesn't matter because he has a fantastic voice

[@NorthViewModelShop]

There’s a bathroom on the right. That’s one of a my favourite songs

[@ffrederickskitty214]

I always played it F, C and Bb, which suits my vocal range. There is no “correct” way, only the way that suits the singer

[@donparker4521]

Fortunate is the same, but now I gotta go back and see how many more. 3 cheers for an excuse to listen to CCR more carefully!

[@bobhelbig]

And then another guitar dubbed in playing in D really gave the song a unique jangle.

[@usmcchrisg]

I hate it when that happens. I was playing baby I love your way in a moronic way for far too long.

[@renatacantore3684]

You Are So Cool 😎

[@DiAbLo_SaYaJiN]

Tom fogerty plays it like that G D and A chord you can ser that in the vídeo too

[@bajonettm2122]

incoming phone call ;)

[@jcstevegigs]

I’m not a fan of special tunings especially at gigs. I’ll drop my D but that’s it. I take one guitar to a gig and it’s too hard and takes too much time to mess with tunings. It is a cool sound though.

[@zoodxfirexx3504]

No offense but I though Jordan Peterson was teaching me how to play bad moon rising 😂

[@frankdukez4951]

damn u sound just like john with that first verse

[@jebronlames5997]
