They’re also good for easy leads, eg the Bayou riff which is just an E7 (you don’t even have to move your left hand) and Green River. Then there’s the major key Up Around the Bend and Fortunate Son riffs which are good ways to learn different chord voicings up the neck

Green River can be tricky because that are so many guitars on it, each throwing in these iconic little licks.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 15 August 2019 21:24 (four years ago) link
yeah Green River is hard if you try to play all those riffs on one guitar!

eg the Bayou riff which is just an E7 (you don’t even have to move your left handAlways think this is a major component of the “swampy” sound, basically a Mixolydian vamp that may change chords but doesn’t sound like a blues and mostly stays on the I7 the majority of the time. See also “Polk Salad Annie.”

Daltrey struggles with the riff here, but his voice is perfect for it. https://youtu.be/YYYxad4SxKY

Still can take or leave the bass solo on Woodstock “Suzie Q” but it’s still better than Skip Battin, say.Lol at Roger Daltrey saying “It’s the only thing I remember about Woodstock.”

re: the vinyl, ending side 1 with aimless between-song tuning was a weird choice
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 16 August 2019 12:57 (four years ago) link
lol, at the end of side 2 there's more fiddling, fogerty says 'now we'd like to do a song called i put a spell on you', side ends

here's a nice cover of "born on the bayou" by an indian garage band from the early '70s

A key CCR moment for me was honestly buying the first Richard Hell album and hearing the awesome cover of "Walk on the Water." Must have been middle school? Whenever it was, it was the first time I realized there was more to the band than their 20 or so hits.

i mean, the song's on side 3, but.. how could that have even happened
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 16 August 2019 18:10 (four years ago) link
If side 3 launches right into the song, I guess I can see why they may have cut it that way
― Stub yr toe on the yacht rock (morrisp), Friday, 16 August 2019 18:14 (four years ago) link
Yes that's why but.. surely you put the intro at the start of Side 3 or cut it out entirely??

I have been thinking about who was as relentless at this time and I keep coming back to Buddy Guy
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 16 August 2019 19:00 (four years ago) link
I mean, I don't know what style he was playing at the time but he can do a similar kind of throbbing, hypnotic shred-out

Heard a tidbit of the middle-part jam from Ramble Tamble as transition music on my NPR station today and it made my day
Where is the love for that song? It's easily one of my favorite CCR songs for a number of reasons but primarily because there is a monster jam hidden inside the primary song framework. It's like going on a tiny trip to Cosmo's Factory and then being safely delivered home at the end. Good lyrics too.
