As always, clear and easy to follow instructions! Curious about one thing, though. You say it's an easy 4 Chord Tune, but you never play the C chord. Did I miss something?
Love this tune. John Fogerty is probably my favourite songwriter (although he didn’t write this). Actually got to see him live in London in 2018 supported by Steve miller. Thanks for this video. All my electric guitars are in lockdown 25 miles away and all I have with me is my acoustic 👍
That’s all you need!!! I saw fogarty live a couple years back, he is as great as ever!! I’m glad you like My vids. Thanx for your support. Take care and stay safe
Thank you for all your kind words. I'm glad your back at it!! Good luck in your learning and thanx for tuning in. Hey, I'm trying to reach 100k subscribers so please spread the word about my channel, it would be greatly appreciated, thanx
Awesome cover. What happened to the C-Chord? In the beginning of the video you said the C-Chord is in the song, but I didn't see you use it. Sorry if this has been answered before. Thanks again
To help us singing with you Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring, And they march you to the table to see the same old thing. Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan. But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me. Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know? By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore. Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand; She come to see the gov'nor, she wants to free her man. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me. If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right; You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down. The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me.
I think it can sound good to switch between C/G or even D/C in this song instead of just doing hammer ons of D/G. I’m assuming he just forgot to do that but it can sound cool and add another dynamic to throw a C chord interchangeable with D/C instead of hammering on.
william .lafreniere Party Marty does easy guitar tunes. Beginners can't tune down steps etc.......and some of us don't want to bother when you're jamming at a party etc.......
Honestly Marty, you are really like (I assume) Bert Wheedon & his ‘tune in a day’ technique. Now this was a method that one particular Liverpudlian learn how or play ... that Liverpudlian was the late great George Harrison 👍🏼
Thanx - I'm glad you like my channel, that's a great tune, I'm trying to answer a lot of requests right now but I'll keep it in mind for a possible future project, Thanx for tuning in and good luck!!
PartyMarty EasyGuitarTunes it's all good. I don't even know if there is a feasible acoustic strum for Back to the Island...just love the song. The CCR tunes have been a big hit at family functions. Thanks again for what you do.
I kept watching for it too wondering how i was missing it. I scrolled down just to see if anyone else missed it and mentioned it,, thanks And great tutorial.
That's great!! I'm glad to help. Hey, I am trying to reach 100k subscribers so tell your friends about me, it would be greatly appreciated, thanx for tuning in, good luck to you and take care
Just want to say wow dude great work just found your vids tonight and have listened to alot so far and i have to say its the best.. have you already done roller derby queen by jim croce that was the first song i ever learned how to play
Thanx, I'm glad you think so. Hey, I am trying to get 100k subscribers, I would appreciate it very much if you would subscribe to my channel and tell your friends. Thanx for tuning in and good luck to you ands yours

Always a pleasure watch'in...Good work Marty.."Centerfield" by CCR next...Like ta' see ya do that one 'dere buddy! With the pick'in part in 'dere too...Lol.
Its DDU(D)UDU also known as the most popular strum in the world. Thousands of songs use this pattern. In this song the 2nd and 4th D is a percussive strum. I was told by a guitar teacher and friend to practice that strum until you can carry on a conversation while playing it . The singing over it isn't a problem. Hope this helps.
Awesome song and great tutorial! I'd love to see you do some Robert Earl Keen, something like "The Road Goes on Forever" or "Corpus Christi Bay" would be awesome, but he's got such a huge catalogue in sure you could find something!
Thanx - I'm glad you like my vid, those are great tunes, I'm trying to answer a lot of requests right now but I'll keep yours in mind for a possible future projects, Thanx for tuning in and good luck!!

I'm afraid, the idea is to practice the chords to where you can play along with me like we are in a kitchen playing together which is how I learned. Good luck with it and thanx for tuning in
Marty, what is an easy way to play Romeo and Juliet from Dire Straits? One of my favorite songs, great band and definately mark is one of the best guitarists ever. But is there is simple way to do it and make it sound clean? kind of a campfire version? I havent seen one yet. thanks
I am lucky that my fingers are big enough that I only need 2 fingers to press down on 3 strings. I can also manage to lift up my finger a bit to play the A7 when required. Just a little trick I came up with years ago. Thanx for watching and Happy Holidays to You and Yours!!
great lesson only criticism is you got the lyric wrong. it is no food upon the table no PORK up in the pan. he is saying there is nothing on the table and nothing cooking in the pan. why would it matter if there was a FORK in the pan or not? Also it was not written by fogerty just covered by CCR
Just want to say wow dude great work just found your vids tonight and have listened to alot so far and i have to say its the best.. have you already done roller derby queen by jim croce that was the first song i ever learned how to play
Thank you for your kind words, I am glad you like my channel. That is a great tune, I have a tonne of requests that I am trying to get through right now but I will keep yours in mind for a possible future project. Thanx for tuning in and good luck to you!!
This guy got me back into guitar after years of neglect. Thanks for the vid man!
This is the song that I must learn. No high pitch, I think I can sing it. Thanks Marty, Cheers from Indonesia.

Best part is being able to play along the whole song :-)
Thank you for beautiful music.
I like it! Was strumming along. Fun
CCR covered this song. All credit forever belongs to Led Belly.
Lead belly covered it too
@@adriancantu7176 He sure did, seems there’s a bunch of variations to the song.
tres bien jouer good guitarist
Love song and the cover 😎
You are very easy to learn from I never could play and sing at the same time til you great job
That's great, I am happy to help!!!

Another great lesson! Thank you Marty :-)
you are very welcome razor, thanx for your continued support
Amazing
So where's the C chord?
thats what i said ????
its at 44 seconds...and then again at 55 seconds. watch it again carefully and youll see it
@@bazzad81 Yea he didn’t use it in the song tho
I think it can sound good to switch between C/G or even D/C in this song instead of just doing hammer ons of D/G. I’m assuming he just forgot to do that but it can sound cool and add another dynamic to throw a C chord interchangeable with D/C instead of hammering on.
Awesome Marty thx
Great lesson
As the song was recorded , tune down one whole step to D , G , C , F , A , D. 1st chord strummed slowly is E ...... A....... E........ B7..

Exactly, make it easy I say, thanx for noticing and for tuning in
Love it!
I'm glad!!
Honestly Marty, you are really like (I assume) Bert Wheedon & his ‘tune in a day’ technique. Now this was a method that one particular Liverpudlian learn how or play ... that Liverpudlian was the late great George Harrison 👍🏼
Nice video dude loved it
But isnt it a 3 cord song?
i never saw you using the C cord
Your one tank of a man
Great job
thank you
nice job!
I may be crazy, but where is the C used in the song? I can only see 3 chords used. D, G, D, A7, D. I'm missing where the C comes in.
always look forward to "new song Thursdays". Personally, besides the more bluesy tunes, I would love a Leon Russell, Back to the Island tutorial.
Thanx - I'm glad you like my channel, that's a great tune, I'm trying to answer a lot of requests right now but I'll keep it in mind for a possible future project, Thanx for tuning in and good luck!!

Down - DownSlap - Up-Down-Up - DownSlap?
Always a pleasure watch'in...Good work Marty.."Centerfield" by CCR next...Like ta' see ya do that one 'dere buddy! With the pick'in part in 'dere too...Lol.
Hey love your videos and lessons. You make everything easy to understand, thanks for what you do.
New to the guitar and really enjoying your videos. Thanks so much. Can you give us the strum pattern.

I was told by a guitar teacher and friend to practice that strum until you can carry on a conversation while playing it . The singing over it isn't a problem. Hope this helps.
I made a comment about the strumming, it was supposed to be a reply to your comment and ended up at the end, sorry
What’s the strum pattern
what’s the strumming pattern?????
I didnt get the c. You didnt play it that i could see
request "HEY TONIGHT" by CCR
Great song. I have a lot of requests right now but will put it on the list for a possible future project. Thanx for tuning in and take care
What happened to the C chord?
Awesome song and great tutorial! I'd love to see you do some Robert Earl Keen, something like "The Road Goes on Forever" or "Corpus Christi Bay" would be awesome, but he's got such a huge catalogue in sure you could find something!

Great lesson! Thank you very much.... but..... where the f** is the C chord?!?! 🤯 I can't see it
Great Video Marty! I have a request, Can you make a video for Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash Please :)
+PartyMarty EasyGuitarTunes +George Great idea! Cocaine Blues will be a great addition to your collection Marty. Looking forward to it. Thank you.
Thanx - I'm glad you like my video, that's a great tune, I'm trying to answer a lot of requests right now but I'll keep it in mind for a possible future project, Thanx for tuning in and good luck!!
Do any of your vids show the lyrics and chords so we can work through the song with you?
I'm afraid, the idea is to practice the chords to where you can play along with me like we are in a kitchen playing together which is how I learned. Good luck with it and thanx for tuning in

Thanx. That is a great tune, I have a lot of requests, but will put yours on the list for a possible future project. Thanx for tuning in and take care
How do you get a nice sounding voice? When I sing it sounds like a rat dying.
Beautiful
But don’t be afraid to let that voice out even for the intro!
Yeah where's the c cord
C chord?
Better without slap thingy imho ( grates after a bit) but good lesson otherwise👍
Forgot it was acoustic which is odd because he plays a les Paul
The way you play your A is weird to me. I know it's an A7 but like you said it is the same position as an A.
I am lucky that my fingers are big enough that I only need 2 fingers to press down on 3 strings. I can also manage to lift up my finger a bit to play the A7 when required. Just a little trick I came up with years ago. Thanx for watching and Happy Holidays to You and Yours!!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🎉🍻 🙏🙏🙏🙏
great lesson only criticism is you got the lyric wrong. it is no food upon the table no PORK up in the pan. he is saying there is nothing on the table and nothing cooking in the pan. why would it matter if there was a FORK in the pan or not? Also it was not written by fogerty just covered by CCR
Or listen to Proud Mary a bunch of times.
lead belly
the C is the first C from CCR lolll
no pork up in the pan
Gah dammit
fogerty did not write this song, its just his version of an old song that dates back to the 1800;s
Yes you are correct and if you read the info I have provided for this video you will see that I clearly mentioned that
so its G,D,A7,D no C
yup sorry for the confusion
Love this song and love your videos,but Leadbelly wrote this song
me too, Thank you and thanx for the footnote
that's a 3chord song...no C...just saying...
Easy lesson, there was never a C chord.
Cadd9
It's just dropping 1st and 2nd fingers down one from G
Great lessons but you must play through the song first so we have something to latch on to.
?? I play the whole song!! Is that not good enough?? lol
lol theres no fukin c in there. guess marty parties too much..
Just want to say wow dude great work just found your vids tonight and have listened to alot so far and i have to say its the best.. have you already done roller derby queen by jim croce that was the first song i ever learned how to play
