Notes

Studio recording, 1969. John Fogerty played the solo on the neck pickup of a Rickenbacker 325 through a Kustom K200A-4 amp. No pedals used; amp vibrato/tremolo available but not always engaged. Reverb reportedly not used by Fogerty on this amp for this song. Settings estimated based on amp type, era, and genre due to lack of explicit numeric values.
