TARGET Members will have any Charts, TAB, and Guitar Pro Files
When he was a teenager, John Fogerty kept a little notebook with a list of potential song titles; Proud Mary was at the top of the list, although he envisioned it as referring to a housekeeper or domestic worker of some sort. When he came up with the opening chord sequence (C-A), it brought up a picture of a paddle wheel going around, which made him think of the Mississippi River. The signature riff is an unusual combination of chords that are not often played together as they are not in the same key.

I too have been hoping Neil would add a section to teach the Play Through melodies and riffs.

Neil,
I echo the other sentiments: I love the riffs and little melodies you're throwing in on the Play Through section. Please consider adding a part 10 (optional techniques) where you take us through it.
Thanks,
Bob

Back in 1976,1977 I was in 7th and 8th grade. The junior high I was at had a guitar class. I took it for two years. It was great. It was not taught by a pro but taught by someone who loved the guitar and was good enough to teach us plenty.
Can you imagine Neil 30 students in a room all take out there guitars and start working on chords for the first time. Yea he would often have us play one at a time at first. By the second year we just all played together.
This song was our introduction to synapated strumming. And it was our make your piece with bar chords song. Because the way he had us play it was maximum bar chords.
Nice to have this song back after many years of not playing. In my late 20's after almost 10 years of not playing a thing, I gave away my guitar, my banjo (a steel string instrument of torture for which I got no where) and about a 100 pages of arranged sheet music I could all play. THe music was the biggest loss. The guitar needed to be replaced. It was a steel string budget guitar. My mother paid $139 for it in monthly payments of #30. The $30 was hard to come by. Those where lean years. My mother had been out of work for years. My father was gone. But this guitar had steel strings and tuners with plastic bases on them. So by the time I was in my late 20's all but maybe one of those was cracked to where some of the tuning pegs where no longer straight up and down. The guy I gave it to was glad to get it. And he was going to fix it. But I bet he never did. He has 4 or 5 guitars in the 2 to 3 grand range. So it goes, Thanks.
