This arrangement works really well Daniel, great job.
 
 

Thanks Steve! ...glad you agree with the arrangement. 


Cheers



I've had another couple of listens today actually Daniel, and this is really growing on me. I love all the extra 'transitional' chords you've used (over and above the original's basic arrangement around the I-IV-V chords) to add texture and interest to an old classic.
 
The masterstroke you've pulled off though is slowing the song down to allow these added chords to really ring out.
 
And finally, I can listen to a version of this tune without immediately thinking about An American Werewolf In London, although it's still a great film
 
 

yeah, I've seen the movie back than. And I was tempted to add a howling wolf to the outro, but than I said to myself: "Daniel, don't do this! It's just too cliche"
 
Actually by slowing down the tempo, a lot of possibilities opened up to lay down some chords under that rather simple melody to give the song a bit more tension. 
 
Thanks for taking the time to listen again!  : )

An interesting arrangement.  While I played many CCR tunes in many nightclubs in many different states.... I was never a huge fan, but this was one of my favorite CCR tunes, so I kind of miss the up-tempo vibe.  You have to admit Foggerty is performing trouper and has a very commercial appeal and rightly deserves is claim to fame.
 
Well recorded and sang as always.

Daryl,
 
I see your point, missing the up-tempo vibe. I absolutley do love the original version. That was the way it was ment to be and that's how it became a classic. I've never meant to out-produce John Fogerty's version (how could I dare), just tried to approach it from a different angle.
 
Thanks for listening and commenting!

I love your arrangement of a classic tune.  You own this version!

Very nice arrangement of this tune.  The recording is very nicely done too.  Rob (Batsbrew) did a very nice job on covering this too.  Wow, your guitar is sooooooo great.  I really do like your interpretation of this song.  I think I like it better than CCR.  Is that sacrilegious?  Everything about this is nicely done.

I just got back from California (...played a cool gig last Sunday afternoon at the Sweetwater Musichall in Mill Valley...)  and haven't looked at this forum for a couple of weeks.
Being back in Amsterdam today, to my surprise I find some new responses on Bad Moon after a month from posting it.
 
PJH, I have to say I'm slightly blown away by your feedback ; )  ...Thanks, Peter! 
 
Lynn, thanks a lot for listening and comment, I really appreciate it !  
 
evadianepug, ...well, receiving a compliment here for guitar playing made me blush for a moment, since there are so many better guitar players around here...
                   ( ...sacrilegious? In my first post I've asked for forgiveness by John Fogerty, so I hope that'll have us covered)
                    Thank's, Warren!  (btw, thanks for the hint to the Batsbrew version...got to check it out...)
 
All the best!
Daniel
