Notes
Studio recording, 1970. John Fogerty used the Rickenbacker 325 into a Fender Tremolux for early CCR recordings including 'Run Through the Jungle'. The Kustom K200A-4 was used live, but not confirmed for this studio track. Tremolo and reverb are from the amp. Drop D tuning.

Difficulty
The riff is accessible but requires attention to timing, muting, and groove to match the swampy feel and tight pulse, especially with the tremolo effect.
