Notes
Studio recording, 1968-1969 Bayou Country sessions. John Fogerty played through a Kustom K200A-4 amp with built-in effects, but stated he did not use the amp's reverb or fuzz for this song. No evidence of pedals or external effects for the riff section.

The riff requires fast, precise picking and tight rhythm, but uses straightforward rock techniques and no advanced chord voicings or complex fingerings.
