Awesome! Stay with it, you're still young.

12 FOOT CHAIN!! The message is so powerful! Go beyond your limitations! Thank you sir

I've been playing those three songs since they came out on 45s (I'm 68). And I've watched a bunch of KZreads on "how to play" them, too. Yours is the first time I've seen the way John actually played it...tuned down a whole step. FIRST time! Well done.

You popped up on my feed a few weeks back…and I am so glad. In the past, I have played all 3 of these in covers bands from the 80s onwards. Always knew they didn’t sound right but you are spot on here. Goes to show…old dogs can learn new tricks. Great job bud. Break that 12 foot chain 👍

My friend your an excellent teacher… your calm, precise and you have a very clear way of explaining each song. You are one of only few with this unique ability. I would like too learn from you all I am able. Thank you again for your time.

Same here and proud mary has been a dream but now it makes sense......❤

I've been watching your content for sometime and I continue to enjoy your lesson style. I've always wondered what the 12 ft. chain references and never would have guessed what the actual meaning is. You have now encouraged me to consider my self imposed barriers with learning guitar and to "break those chains". That may be the single most important lesson I could have received. Thanks for sharing.

YES!! THIS IS WHAT I KNOW I HEARD, BUT NEVER PLAYED IT. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL: GOSH, WHAT AN AMAZING IMPROVEMENT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS 🎶🎶

From an O.A.P in the U.K. you have done more for me since I found you than 5 years of tutoring. Paul King.

Speachless... What amazing musical and teaching capacities. Thank you !

Hi 12 foot chain/Doug. Thanks for this splendid lesson. I've been a fan of CCR since back in the day. It's kind of funny and strange, that they've made such a huge impact, although just being together for 4 years - exactly like i.e. Cream and yet still have been so loved by and admired for generations. Keep the goodies coming, Doug. ☮️❤️🎸

Comment; I’ve watched a few of your videos and wondered about 12 ft chain. Your analogy is spot on. I grew up listening to “ccr “, stones, zeppelin, and could not figure out why I couldn’t get the sound exactly like the recording. Thanks to the internet and videos like yours I have discovered the wonderful world of TUNING. Thanks you New Subscriber.

Great lesson and love the 12’ chain analogy…I constantly remind myself that learning to play guitar is a continuum and where you are is where you are and the key is to keep moving forward…good luck with your channel and I look forward to more insights about guitar and life 👍- TGD

Great video, only increases my admiration for John Fogerty even more. John is a true genius who makes what he does sound easy, but nobody else in the whole world writes songs and sounds like him.

You my friend, have the extremely rare ability to teach guitar, plus you are a phenomenal player from what I've seen. You project such calmness, and it's apparent that you truly want to help. Thank you so much, I subscribed!!!!!

Amazing C.C.R. group, my fave since spring 1971 to now. ❤❤❤❤

Great tutorial. I have always played them in the standard tuning. Now the riffs are much easier and sound correct. Thank You

That was the coolest frickin'' lesson.

Love your new channel!

I just joined a CCR cover band, so this is exacty what I needed, thanks!

I subscribed to your excellent guitar Chanel sometime during the past 3-4 years of insanity. Yesterday and today a couple of your older videos (this one included) popped up. I watched both videos. Always wondered what the 12 Foot chain was about. Great name for your channel. You inspired me to play again and now to break my own 12 foot chain.🤘

Another great lesson Sir. It all became clear why it never sounded right. Much appreciated. Thanks

Love this guy. Everything his says makes perfect sense. Tuning down to D gives that unmistakable JF tone. Another great video.

Gibson Les Paul, string it with heavy gauge strings and drop it down below standard to "D" tuning, playing the "E" postion & so on with the riffs, my experience was playing by ear and learning off the Record(60s,70s) and noticing that the song was actually In D but the tones were different and finally I realized that one guitar had to be tuned down to D tuning so you could do the Rifts in the proper position (E), as I noticed in a video of Tom and John Fogerty playing Proud Mary (on a video from way back when), can be done in D, but E is way to go. Same with badmoon & so on, great video , thanks

I enjoy learning the right way to play these classics. Thank you

Try to find the Ed Sullivan TV appearance. Fogerty played chords and licks very differently than you'd expect

A very amazing guitar lesson - thank you so much. I know and like the CCR songs since the seventies. But I never the secret of John Fogerty's guitar tuning. It sounds great.

I love that casino in the back ❤

Love this. Great information and great sound.

You rock it, we rock it with you!!!!!!!!😊

Bro! I always knew the standard phrasing was off with Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising! Thanks man!

Thank you, again, I like your explination of the chain. I just got to remember that. so hooked on my fingers doing what they always do.

The proud Mary mystery has intrigued me for literally over 30 years !

Recently subscribed to your channel, then found this video explaining the 12-foot chain meaning. WOW!

so I got the les paul out..the songs are really spot on sounding now using the tutorial.... I gave my son my 1970's Kustom 150 head ( they are so loud) and the 2/15 cab with the tuck and roll... mite have to get it back for the "fogarty" stuff

Thank you very much, good teaching. Looking forward to more videos.

I love Guitar sound!

A cool 12 foot chain story. So true that we all do have our own 12 foot chain as an ax to grind.

this is a great channel... I sometimes have to watch some of the fingering a few times to get it, but it explains so much that I did not figure out on my own.. .. i thought the 12 ft chain was for a sailboat mooring anchor chain... I have a Holder 20 racing sailboat, and crew on a 32 ft racing boat also.. so that's the first thing that popped into my mind.. thanks for the videos... old guy...66 years old in Amston CT. going to get my epi elitist burst les paul out of the closet.. and turn up the old fender blues Deville

Champion!!!

Muchas Gracias You taught me a LOT!!

Very good analogy and philosophy. Glad to learn the tuning down in these songs too. The only thing that saddens me is the elephants in labour thing. Someone should break their chain, shouldn’t have been there from the beginning …

This is awesome - I wish I'd learned to play guitar this way.

The Dude Abides !

You're really good at this Brother! You're helping the songs you teach live FOREVER. I'm an atheist but THAT is God's Work. Just found you today, looking forward to more.

Brilliant demo/lesson! The explanation about 12 foot chain was great also and a wake up call as to how we can all let ourselves become very restricted by our own thinking. Thank you so very much, you are a breath of fresh air for sure. Subscribed 👌🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠.

Sooo glad to have found that true Fogerty sound / tuning method and after all these years! Just very good luck? To have found your channel, thank you very much!

Hell yeah, man. Inspirational idea

Thank you so much. I didn't know that rascal was doing that. I never could make it sound right.

Well done Doug. You and Daenerys Targaryen "Breaker of Chains" have a lot in common

Playing guitar is a never ending story! Thank you so much for your Story!

Thanks, this is a very good video. A good teacher with a good guitar tone. I wish i could watch this lesson in 95-96 when i was trying to learn songs with my first acoustic guitar. :) I also wanted to add songs "Run through the jungle" and "Heard it through the grapevine" both in D standard tuning. I remember i was going mad to understand what's going on with this songs.

The 2nd guitar run up during the A-Bm lead sequence is played banjo style between the 2nd and 3rd string.

Thank you very much.

Pure gold!

Good story about the 12-foot chain. Good lesson also

Thank you. Great stuff . No wonder I couldn’t figure it out decades ago. Keep ‘em comin. Love the metaphor of 12 foot chain .

Heavy illustration on persistence and overcoming perceived barriers, either learned or, self imposed. 👍 And, as usual, you're spot on with the tutorial. I once watched a stripper dance to "Lookin' Out My Back Door". Her performance was quite memorable.

Excellent video, many thanks!! Please learn us to play Born on the bayou...

I'm here!! SUBSCRIBED!! I knew something was up with Proud Mary when I could never play the finger picking lead break and get it to sound right. It was virtually impossible to play in standard tuning! Where's your Mariners cap??

Great content- I'm ready to relearn those songs again

Very good! Amazing!. The trick of whole step down is a treasure

Thank you very much for the lesson.!!
