Learn how to play I Heard it Through the Grapevine, as performed by CCR released on their Cosmo's Factory album. Great version of the original R&B song converted into the distinctive CCR sound.
The lesson covers the guitar parts played by John Fogerty in D-Standard tuning, and Tom Fogerty in Standard tuning. I also will show you a hybrid way to mix those two for playing live and getting closer to that sound from the record.
