Almost Saturday Night John Fogerty
John Fogerty's second solo album, â??John Fogertyâ?? 1975.
I have arranged this in the key Fogerty uses on this album. It is in the key of D.
later he records this song in C. Fogerty uses multitracking to achieve the drone. I
the drone in this rendition. I do this by leaving the bottom E string open (1st
Itâ??s a good version offering a full bodied sound, especially when you are the only person
the song!
Drop both your E strings to D.
Note: the underscore line indicates a slide (ex: 5__7, Slide from fret 5 to 7)
