Topic: Proud Mary - Creedence

So there I was spooning around with a Dry Riff (17E) Vamp setting when I found a great 'Proud Mary' verse sound. Barre chord B on the seventh fret, I transposed the rest of the song and yes the 'dang-dang-dung' riff works quite well as A > F# - a simple drop to fifth fret and then second fret then back. Wish I'd watched John Fogerty's set at Glastonbury closer.

Anyone else played this song this way?

Re: Proud Mary - Creedence

You can also barre a B chord on the 8th fret, using the E chord shape.  I normally play this one with the major chords.  Pretty easy to play song overall.  Once you have that one down, try Suzie Q guitar licks.
