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

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!

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.

John Fogerty is really an underrated guitar player...

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

"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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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!!!

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

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!

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.

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

Green river is a good tune too

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

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

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

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!

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

I saw John Fogerty in Portland, Maine in 2005. In the last chorus of Bad Moon Rising he clearly substituted "there's a bathroom on the right" instead of "there's a bad moon on the rise". I don't think most people even noticed the substitution. It was a great concert, I'll never forget it. Thanks for the video.

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

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

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.

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

This video popped up in my RU-vid 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!

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.

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

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

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

The crowd goes 'crazy' when my band plays Born on the Bayou. I just got a Boss MD 200 this week so now I can dial in the tremolo for this CCR classic. The trem is critical to the sound on this one. Thanks for this excellent post.

Tombstone Shadow is such an underrated song, so I was thrilled to see it on the list! I do however think that at least to me the most iconic solo is actually the second one, in which Fogerty literally plays the same note again and again and again, and it's AWESOME.

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

Best G.P. video yet!!! Fantastic list of solos played to perfection. Thank you!!!

"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!

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

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

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.

Never a dull moment with this guy!

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

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!

Always great to hear this again. 👍👍👍👍🎸

I enjoyed that almost as much as you did.....thanks for sharing your passion with us.

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

I heard an interview of JF once where he said he didn’t think his own guitar playing was that great or special. Quite the contrary! Hey man, you capture the nuances of players so incredibly well. And your apparent passion for music is inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work.

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

as always your guitar chops,editing skills and no waffle commentary are a joy to watch.....

As always you bring us the most interesting and sometimes unlikely material GP!

Fantastic. As a long term player, I watched what you did and instantly got something out of it which has improved my sound. Thank you. Plenty here for everyone.

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

This is exactly why I started playing guitar in the late 60’s you soon we forget these great phrases, thanks for refreshing bro

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.

Nailed them all. Excellent!!

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

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

I love the stories behind the solos! impeccable playing!kind regards!

Wow! what more can i say .Was blown away.Love the Piano Solo was very haunting.Yet Beautiful.

Wow Pilgrim. You made me want to dig out and listen to all my CCR albums again! Thanks for reminding us of how talented John Fogerty is.

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!

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

Love your playing, you always nail it !

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

Absolutely Brilliant playing GP!

¡John Fogerty es un genio!

John Fogerty is a straight up genius.

Wow, i had goosebumps during your I Put a spel on you solo. Well done man

Love your personality & guitar playing. Love your madness. Your the sort of a person I’d love as a friend. Thank You

Always putting out videos on people that I love thanks pilgrim 👍👍

Pilgrim you are top notch - what a great top 10. Not really a "solo", but gotta say the opening riff for Up Around the Bend is so classic CCR and simply iconic for the period. When you hear the tone of that first open D you know what's coming and you know it's gonna be good.

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

Love John, shoutout to him being one of the few Rickenbacker players.

Your shredding is magnificent thanks for doing these and I am subscribed

YEP! Nice one! Thanks for the great showcase of this very underrated guitarist! Spell on You... AWESOME!!! 10\10.

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.

That Strat sound! Amazing! 😍

Awesome presentation. John Fogerty is quite fabulous. I'm so glad he went back to playing his CCR music. Wow, such a soulful, touching keyboard piece on the end of this, very emotion provoking.

Absolutely FANTASTIC ! You're a great guy !

You are amazing. Love CCR and you nailed it perfectly! I will study this. Thanks!!

Your talent, teaching method and personality make every video you post a must watch! 👏🏻 not to mention, you do it all clean (relatively 😉)

BEAUTIFUL. Fabulous sounds from The Strat. Great discussion/playing and respect for the musicianship of J.F. And yes there really is a bathroom on the right.

Yer vids are such a treat

Great job. Really glad I watched

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

Spectacular sound and playing! Congrats!

Wow! Loved it! You're great!

Outstanding brother 👏. Thanx for sharing

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

You rock bro, keep it going!

Many-many-many thanks!!!

Saw his show a few months ago. Best show I ever seen

Great job, excellent choice of solos and perfectly played with feeling and soul !

Love this! Thank you for finally solving the sweet mysteries for me! Love what you're doing from Los Angeles CA!

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.

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

so much groove and good vibes in these. awesome video, quality content as always :)

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

Wow,you somehow play with such personal feeling,yet never make it about you..... A generous teacher. Thank you.
