Learn how to play Proud Mary, as performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival released in January 1969 on the band's second album Bayou Country. Just a classic piece of american popular music/classic rock written by John Fogerty. Playing this song and sounding anywhere close to the record has been a challenge for many, until you learn the secret as to why the guitar sounds are unique. I answer that question here.

The lesson covers all the rhythm guitar parts and the lead guitar section.
