- This is a note for note transcription of Creedence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising.
I transcribed Bad Moon Rising Note for Note, then replayed all the instruments and sang the song so you can see how it's played.
There was an interesting challenge with this song, and that was the guitar part.
On the original Fogerty is playing a Les Paul tuned down to D, meaning all the strings are tuned down a whole step. This allows him to play open E chords, even though the song is in D.
So, I tuned my les paul down a whole step and learned it exactly the way he plays it. The problem was that the guitar continued to go out of tune because it wasn't used to the tuning. Fogerty keeps his one Les Paul set up in D tuning all the time. The intonation was even off a little as well. Now, I could have setup the guitar to be played in that tuning, but I thought, If I'm having this much trouble with this, imagine how hard it's going to be for the people trying to learn it?
So, I had an idea. Could I take all the notes that he plays in Open D tuning, and find them on the neck in standard tuning, and would that be possible to play?
So, I did just that. Found the notes in standard tuning, and it winds up that, yes it is possible. The only thing that is missing is the low D string (E tuned down to D), and he only plays the low E in a couple of James Burton type open E string licks. You can play this in standard by simply tuning down the low E to D. In the tab, I just left out the low D.
So, if this looks different than the way John Fogerty plays it, that's because it's in standard tuning.
Same notes, different tuning.
I thought this might be easier for the nightly working guitar player that doesn't want to have to retune all night.

Thank you so much Karen. You are so supportive.
Your tabs are clearer than most Abraham! This serves as a great study for how these guitar parts are laid out. Your playing is top notch brother!
Thanks Jimmy. You're too kind brother. Studying these songs has been so much fun, and so educational. With every song I learn more about producing. So glad I can share some of the tabs with my fellow musicians. There really is no education better than breaking down the classics.
The magic is in there, you just gotta find it.
Thanks so much for watching and being so supportive. It's awesome to call you a friend.
@@ThePickingPythagorean I have to quote that "There really is no education better than breaking down the classics." Abso-freakin'-lutely brother!!!! You said it right there...it's almost like you gain insight into what drove them to come up with a part or write a tune for that matter. It's great to see you keep breaking new ground and it's awesome to call you a friend as well...keep those killer jams coming Abraham!

@@ThePickingPythagorean Thanks so much, mate, you too! I really enjoy your singing!
Very nice guitar playing! Keep up all the good work.
Thanks Nathan.
Great playthrough and wonderful Les Paul!!!
Thanks Andrea. Yeah, I love that Les Paul. My cousin put the handwound custom shop pickups in it, and man, ever since then, it's sounded like a five thousand dollar Paul.
Thanks for watching man, and I loved your cover of The Look. Very cool version.
I'm very appreciative of your work on YT. I can't imagine how much time you've put in and the musicianship is spot on solid..... And I love this song "There's a bathroom👉 🚽 on the right".😀
Thank you so much Levi. Those are such kind words my friend and I appreciate them. And, yeah, what a great song!!!!
Thats a beautiful gutair BTW
Thank you!!!!!
The song about werewolves! Great lesson man!
Yeah, this is a cool one. That one little lick he plays during the verses is so classic. And it's really moveable on the neck as well, so you can play it in different keys.
Thanks for watching Ace. I appreciate all the support.
Just wondering isn’t this in standard tuning ?
Yes. Standard Tuning.
Great job with the guitars man, you may already publish an educational collection 😁😁
You know, that's what I'm hoping for. Just something out there that you can learn from if you want to, without having to pay for it. Thanks Dark, you're too kind Brother.
@@ThePickingPythagorean And you're doing it great man!! 👏👍👍
