Notes
Studio recording, 1969 (Willy and the Poor Boys album). John Fogerty used a Gibson ES-175 with PAF humbuckers into a Kustom K200A solid-state amp for most CCR studio rhythm tracks of this era. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for this recording.

Difficulty
The riff is based on simple open chords and steady strumming, with no advanced techniques or fast passages, but requires solid timing and groove to capture the CCR feel.
