How To Play GREEN RIVER By Creedence Clearwater Revival
00:00 : Song Playthrough
02:45 : Intro and "Green River" History
05:44 : Lesson Begins
24:52 : Outro
As to the music, Fogerty said that: "Green River" is obviously a tip of the hat to the Sun Records sound, but I can't think of any real specific song.
Actually, with the loping beat of the acoustic guitar and then the bass kind of doing that rocking beat on the one and the four, I tend to think of something like "Dream Baby" by Roy Orbison. Yet "Green River" was much more rocking than that song, but the rhythm treatment fit.

Yes, I'd like to have a viral video. No, it will not change my life. I just would like to enjoy it for a moment...
1. You should post “live” performance videos
Throughout 2023 and 2024, most of the music-related videos that I’ve seen going “viral” (meaning lots of views, likes, comments, and shares) are performances. And I don’t mean concert footage from gigs.
I mean things like Jon Poppii’s minimalist acoustic covers.
Or Mark Scibilia’s live-looping videos.
Or Walk Off the Earth’s hilarious stunt performances.
No matter how much you hear about the popularity of GRWM videos, dance trends, or memes — when it comes to music, it seems that viewers on TikTok and Reels simply love seeing good performers doing their thing. Singing a song. Playing an instrument. Feeling the feels.
