How to play 'Proud Mary' by CCR

Here's another essential campfire classic - we'll nail down the chord shapes and strumming patterns for this masterpiece as well as the super cool lead phrases in the chorus. We've got very important percussive strokes built into this strumming pattern, a really important skill for any guitar player. We'll do a slow playalong as well as a full speed playalong toward the end. And...we'll throw in some lead at the very end for those of you looking to improve your scale practice and soloing skills. Fun!
Songsheets are always available at / guitaratwork
And.....we'll be playing along with the fabulous BEATBUDDY drum machine pedal and we'll be using the amazing AEROS Loop Studio pedal from Singular Sound. Play along with me!

    Shane I can't believe it but because of your lessons I went ahead and got good on guitar and finally actualized a dream I've had since a kid and am even writing my own music. I don't have the words. 🙏💯🎸💪😎🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!!!!!!also u taught me how to mute guitar and this is coming from a guy who can't mute Nothing 😅

    Wonderful lesson, as always. Shane, I'm always amazed how you anticipate the impediments that every level of player will encounter and how to overcome them. My experience is that the more expert one becomes, the more likely they will forget the struggles others will have. Those little tips save people so much frustration and are just as valuable as the play-throughs. Thanks!

Quick question: the Aeros looping machine sells for about $600 but I see other loopers for less than $200. Just wondering what makes the Aeros so special that it costs so much more? Does it have more "bells and whistles" than most of us really need? Thanks so much again.
