Jun 26, 2008 · It could be that he used the single coil paul on Green River, since you can get a little more twang and pick attack out of it. I think the Les Paul Junior with the P90/SoapBar pickup is one of the greatest sounding guitars.(Maybe because I'm partial to Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter's tone from Rock n Roll Animal, and all the early Leslie West ...

Jun 25, 2008 · Speaking of Fogerty and his guitars, I once asked what was his most prized one: John Fogerty * The guitar: 1968 Les Paul Custom * The story: "I still have the original Les Paul Custom that I played on I Heard It Through the Grapevine and Midnight Special. It's a D-tuned guitar, a special tuning down lower. That guitar is just magic.

May 6, 2008 · Here's a look at some of what Fogerty currently plays on stage. For recreating the Creedence sound, he uses the Rickenbacker (a modern model) along with the original Kustom amp for stuff like "Suzy Q" and "I Put A Spell On You". The gold top Les Paul with the "soap bar" pickups is tuned normally for "Born On The Bayou" and "Green River".

May 6, 2008 · I wonder if Fogerty also used heavier-gauge strings back in the 1960s than what you're using now. That can have a big effect on a guitar's sound. Like with John Lennon's Rickenbacker for example--he (John Lennon, that is) used heavier-gauge FLATWOUND strings.

Feb 19, 2016 · As mentioned, the 1975 John Fogerty album is tops for me, and I like Blue Moon Swamp and Revival. But much of his other stuff, in my opinion, is lacking. The Centerfield album has some good songs, but suffers with John's doing all …

Aug 27, 2022 · Fogerty was (is,) a perfectionist, which is why he was hard on people around him. He is talented, knows song craft and production. Those CCR albums are Gold. My favorite album is his first (S/T, 1975) solo album. Wish he would have released "Hoodoo" also. He did not like either of those albums. Enigmatic guy, that Fogerty...

Jan 10, 2025 · "Big Train". Maybe it should have gone earlier, as it's just a typical CCR/Fogerty song. I don't remember, but probably some CCR compilation. My father's got a few of their records that I had listened to before that. He also has the self-titled John Fogerty LP. I think the first Fogerty album I bought myself was Blue Moon Swamp.

Apr 25, 2020 · For full-blown Fogerty rantin' and ravin' read his book ' Fortunate Son'. Everything is bugging him there, not the least is the time he went to some record company convention/party and Ricky Nelson showed up. Fogerty says Nelson was looking great in a black suit and a red shirt while he was dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt.

Aug 9, 2019 · John recently on live TV. Love the old style setup! Basic 4 piece band setup. No tricks or gadgetry going on here. John's plugged straight into the Fender, no guitar swaps, no multi star backup band. You don't see that often. John is usually polished up with a multi guitar rig setup. His vocals are a little flat, but eh?
