John Fogerty is an American treasure; make no mistake about it. Great voice, great guitar, original ideas and all-American.

@MarkZabel Месяц назад

Absolutely!

@lucasolari3756 27 дней назад

@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426 27 дней назад

Fogarty helped define rock of his particular era as much as anyone. Classic stuff. It’s too bad he was so contentious, proprietary, and like Henley and Frey, couldn’t find a way to get along with the lesser mortals in his band. Still, he’s a guitarist to really study….

As a 53 yro retired pro musician with Nashville pedigree who's been blessed to sit at the feet & look into the eyes of the likes of Dylan, Cohen, James Brown & many other Legends, i was never a big CCR fan. But about 20 years ago i caught Fogerty opening for Willie Nelson & he blew me away! It wasnt the music for me. It was the fact that ive never seen somebody so happy just to play his songs. He'd played 75% of his set a million times, yet he acted like it was the very first & would be the very last time he would ever get the chance to play his songs for people. He was just a little kid who's dream had come true!😅 It was amazing to behold. Rock On, John! 🤘🌎❤️

@lucasolari3756 27 дней назад

it would be great if you could tell us a bit about your experiences as a professional musician! i too am 53 years old and had a dream of learning to play the guitar well... unfortunately i had to resign myself to my limitations...

@satyadasgumbyji8956 26 дней назад

@@lucasolari3756 Well, friend, I'd love to tell my story but I lived 10 lifetimes by the time I was 30. Every time I get started here i have erase!😅 But my story is exactly about transcending limitations. I got nerve damage in my chord fingers & ptsd from shell-shocked Vietnam vet turned drill-seargent dad. Started out cause 9th grade friend took guitar lessons & could play every Metallica song including solos so wanted to do high school talent show. Asked me to "sing". Now for backstory: I was blessed to have my sister take me to see Alice Cooper at Tennessee State Fair '81 when I was 10. My 3rd rock show was Ozzy Diary tour, one month to day after Rhoads died. But Brad Gillis is a Beast! I was also blessed to see many greats at a young age, including James Brown, as can wildly be seen on here if look up "Charlie Daniels James Brown Volunteer Jam". I was 11. I later, after having become a fan I was back in Nashville in '96 & heard he was playing the legendary Ryman Auditorium/Mother Church of Country Music home of original Grand Ole Opry. A real church, like in The Blues Brothers!🤘😎 I couldn't find any of my rock friends to go. Just figured I'd get a cheap $20. When I asked for 1 ticket the guy said was my lucky day. They had to fill a seat up front & wound up front-row-center! Anyway, concerts were magical, other-worldy. At the time I was pretty much a pro bmx freestyler, before X-Games. Free Haro bikes, Vision Street Wear, etc. One day when I was 15 in '86 a kid moved in up the street & built a half-pipe, something extremely rare to see in the South. He was a skater into Punk/Hardcore/Thrash & turned me on to the tiny Nashville Underground music & skate scene. That's when I saw kids doing it themselves. If want to see what it was like, check out "F.U.C.T. Infectious World" 7:45 version. The scene also included the likes of Todd Milsap (rip), Ronnie's son, Shelton Williams (Hank III), & Freak😅 Hollywood film-maker Harmony Korine. All of us had to be at at least one of those shows as there was literally nothing else to do. Vid says '90 when starts but that was later promo. Can see stamp '87. Seattle had nothing on us!😅 ....Friend, maybe I can add more, or any😅, of what you were asking about later. Too tired & figured since mentioned those vids might as well leave you/y'all with another for music lovers. I worked with Billy Cox for a minute about 20 yrs ago, best friend Jimi Hendrix & bass player for Band of Gypsys & re-formed Experience. Funny story but too long. There's an excellent interview on here, Musician's Hall Of Fame/Billy Cox "Little Known Facts About Hendrix"(?) that tells Jimi's little known 5 year training in Nashville. Also "Jimi Hendrix Night Train '65". His 1st TV appearance on old black Nashville TV show that was inspiration for "Soul Train". Sorry, Luca, gotta get off here. Maybe more later.... Rock on!

I don't know if you will read this, but here goes: I'm not a musician. I cannot play (though I wish I could), I cannot sing, I watch Rick Beato and have no idea what he's talking about most of the time. But I love listening to music. I was never much of a CCR fan. I knew Fogerty's songs, but they were always "background music." I had zero appreciation. Then during Covid I stumbled upon his videos playing with his sons and daughter and I loved it. I started listening - really listening - to John play. A few weeks ago I also got to see him play on his tour. We had great seats in the "pit" right in front of him. Wow. I was impressed by his energy, his skill, and his joy. I hope the man plays right up to his last day. Wouldn't it be cool to be his neighbor and be able to hear him playing up the hill from your own front porch?

@MarkZabel 24 дня назад

That's how I felt too. I was also originally unimpressed. I was into guitar in a big way those days, and especially into technical players. I later came to appreciate the sincerity of his playing and how well it integrated with what I believe he was trying to accomplish with CCR's music. I wouldn't have used the word "joy" then, but yes, I would today. You hit the nail on the head. He made me truly believe that he's just in 7th heaven - playing his old songs again, with his 2 sons on stage with him. It's exactly what made me want to make this video. You saw him about the same time I did. You know what I mean, and you've eloquently captured it my friend. Thank you for sharing that.

@JohnVJay 24 дня назад

@@MarkZabelI appreciate that. I saw him in Virginia, and after the song "Who'll Stop the Rain" that mentions Virginia, which of course the audience reacted to, John sang "I went down Virginia" a couple more times randomly just to get a reaction. It was funny. I was also impressed by George Thorogood's playing. But again, I'm not a musician so I just know what I like!

Great video tribute to one of my heroes, as a lifelong John Fogerty fan since I was a teenager in the '60s and I first started buying Creedence records. I've followed John's life and career ever since. We all know about the painful decades of his life that he had to endure over control of his music. But the dark days are over, he has a wonderful wife and family, he has his songs back, and John Fogerty is on top of the mountain where he permanently belongs. He's one of the greatest songwriters of all time, a great guitarist and a truly gifted creative genius beloved by his fans all around the world. He's the only man to ever have one of his songs inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. For me John Fogerty's music comes out of that great era when the MUSIC came first ---- not the technology like today.

Back in the 60's in the San Francisco Bay Area a lot of the Bands were indulging quite heavily in Drugs and Alcohol. Not John Fogerty he got high on creating the music and got high on the energy from the crowd. And here he is later in life still looking great and healthy and still playing music like he did in the old days. I guess all those Hip people back in the day who criticized him for being so straight and not going off the deep end like the rest of them . Well guess what John was right and the majority of them are long gone. "Rock on John".

MrSmokyDog Back when I was in high school, in 1971, our school would provide us with "Weekly Readers", and in this one particular issue it featured Creedence Clearwater Revival, with an interview of John Fogerty. In the middle of the interview, Fogerty said that he did not partake in drugs, and that it was the music itself that made him feel good. I always remembered that article and especially what John Fogerty said about drugs and the drug life, and I know to this day that his words and statements influenced me to stay away from drugs. I still have that "Weekly Reader" in my CCR music collection. I would like to think John Fogerty's words and quiet, humble lifestyle and demeanor, not to mention his awesome guitar playing and genius songwriting ability had a lifelong influence on many.🎸🎶🎸

Ah, we think alike! The one, the only John Fogerty, who continues to have so much to teach us! As a boy, I can remember a friend and I performed "Down on the corner" and "Proud Mary" by CCR and "Love me two times" by the Doors at a school talent show. Can't remember what else. We both loved CCR. I'll admit I was the Doors fan. What a strange mixed up song selection, I remember that much! We were lousy! However It was not that, but the second song that nearly got us expelled. We should have stuck with a solid CCR set, and we would have been heroic, if not talented!

It's what I learned to play to in 1971. His signature riffs are what I always termed as "accessible". They only thing that throws off new players is he had his Les Paul tuned down a full step so if you didn't know that some of the tunes won't get you "that sound" if you try to play them in standard tuning. Fogerty was such a great writer as well...never wrote a bridge...two (maybe 3) verses ..chorus...solo ...say what you gotta say and get out🤘😎

Ask music fans what Status Quo’s biggest hit was and they’ll probably say “Rocking all over the world”. I joined a band in the UK 20 years ago and the singer gave me the “Premonition” album to learn. It was a real awakening for me. John Fogarty’s songs are so immediately singable and original. Other guitarists can get over complicated with busy guitar riffs but John Fogarty finds easy to play yet highly original riffs. I think his voice is still in good order also, unlike many of his contemporaries.

He doesn't loose his time with shreddings or any other "see-me-look-at-me-I'm-the--best-on-this-planet-type-of-thing" : He knows where the essential is and simply plays the right notes at the right time and just nails it !

As a younger version of myself my father ran restaurants and I remember at all of those restaurants was juice boxes Yeah to the younger ones they were a machine that you would put money in to play music and CCR was the most played music

I've seen so many many magazines on the best guitarists where John Fogerty was not included. Bizarrely those magazines included Kurt Cobain and Jack White. What rubbish. I didn't buy them.

As all R E A L Creedence Clearwater Revival fans know, CCR's very first album came out in 1968 and did quite well, on the strength of the radio (AM AND FM) airplay of "Suzie Q", but from 1969 through 1971 Creedence Clearwater Revival was the top selling and Number One rock band in the world.... and on radio and jukeboxes all around the globe John Fogerty had, besides Elvis Presley, THE most recognized voice in rocknroll.🎸

A friend of mine who’s been a Nashville studio guitarist for years got a call from him and wanted a country style guitar lesson.

@MarkZabel Месяц назад

Very interesting!

@vwwilson8625 23 дня назад

I agree, John had some of the best riffs and melodies just like Lennon, Harrison and Paul and a lot of those musicians from that era, could do, it's easier to make up those riffs and tunes if you got a rhythm guitar, drums and bass track playing in the background which is what John Lennon also said because you can hear the melodies amongst them.

@MarkZabel 23 дня назад

Cool!

@chesterproudfoot9864 Месяц назад

Good stuff as always. I saw somewhere that Fogerty played Bad Moon Rising in a different key (tuned to open B maybe?) that gave it that sound. Makes me wonder how often he tuned to different keys and how it might simplify fingerings.

@MarkZabel Месяц назад

Thank you!

@Bob.Silverstein Месяц назад

Nice one, Mark :) I knew you were gonna play Lodi when you said chords and lead combo. I also like his tone. Not many bands in the rock genre use that sound. At least not ones that attained his success. In terms of tone and style, Rick Miller from Southern Culture On The Skids is another great one who comes to mind with influences surely including Fogerty, as well as surf and rockabilly.

@MarkZabel Месяц назад

Thanks Bob! Good to hear from you. I'll check out Southern Culture on the Skids!

Most of what you show here is pretty basic, but he is a good player. Love his songs. CCR is one of the most underrated 70s bands

@MarkZabel 25 дней назад

Yes, he's a very basic player for sure. Does the fundamentals extremely well.

@johnanthonycafe2993 14 дней назад

John used existing licks from Blues & Country and put them to a Rock beat - why didn’t I think of that ?

I've heard him in an interview explain his "Swamp Chord" but I still don't understand the fingering. Even he said he doesn't know what it's called-some kind of D chord with a couple added notes i think. anyone know this? Here i found it! and STILL don't understand it "That riff and chord shape in 'Bayou' opened up a lot of poosibilities for me," Fogerty points out "I could jump around that E7 voicing and throw in my 'mystery chord.' I don't even know what it is...it's my swamp chord. I flatten my ring finger on the 5th and 4th strings and flatten my pinky down on the 3rd and 2nd strings at the 7th fret. I see it as part of a D chord added to the E7 (E9sus4), and keep the 1st and 6th string open." He added, "I've used that chord for years; it's like a signature for me. It's all through 'Bayou' - especially the way I do it now. I play it like a little horn part that answers my singing." It's a typical rhythm pattern from "Born on the Bayou," in which Fogerty uses the E7 and the E9sus4 "mystery chord." "I originally played "Bayou" on a Rickenbacker 325, the little three-quarter-sized hollowbody John Lennon model. At the time I did'nt think I was able to play a 'man's guitar,' "laughs Fogerty. "I realized early thet I had small hands and therefore should play a short-scale guitar. It became a crutch because it was so much easier to bend strings and finger chords on that small neck.

if he is playing in a relatively small venue, you HAVE TO GO to see him

He's had his songs back for quite awhile and he's was tapping since the 80's

@guitarshapedpizza Месяц назад

And yes John is the greatest maybe after Chuck Berry for opening guitar hooks and sounds that seem simple but are complex. John Mayer may be the modern version of what Fogerty introduced.

Long Cool Woman by the Hollies is a really great song inspired by Fogerty. He sued them for it, though

@catsofsherman1316 24 дня назад

That's a great tone you have there. What kind of Les Paul is that? CCR is a masterclass in how great tone and feel can make the most basic riffs, chords, and licks jump out of the speakers in a very distinctive way.

@MarkZabel 24 дня назад

It's a Sire Larry Carlton ... L7 I think is the model.
