Guitar Tabs of John Fogerty - most of the tabs below are referenced from
another site somewhere on the world-wide web, which may or may not be
operational at any given point in time. I
intend to transfer and preserve as many of these transcriptions as time allows. Some notes on web tabs. First of all, Fogerty will often tune a guitar
down a whole step, so that while someone transcribing who is blessed with
perfect pitch will hear a D, he is really playing E chord progressions on the
guitar. When playing electrics, this is very noticeable when in
concert...whenever he plays a black Les Paul Custom, that guitar is tuned down a
whole step. Here are some comments from Robert Aerts:
************************
Hi guitar players and others,
My friend Robert Q. compiled a list of songs in which John's SOLO
guitar is tuned in D (means ' DAFCGD' instead of the usual 'EBGDAE' )
I think this list is pretty close to the truth,
if not please tell me, together we can make it perfect
We're not sure of the songs which have a ??? behind them.
