Notes

Studio recording, 1969 (Willy and the Poor Boys album). John Fogerty is widely documented to have used a Gibson ES-175 and Kustom K200A amp for CCR studio recordings of this era. No evidence of pedal use for this solo; amp has built-in vibrato and reverb. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo is approachable for intermediate players but requires control of bends, slides, and double-stops for authentic phrasing. No fast runs or advanced techniques, but expressive articulation is key.
