I am a huge Creedence Clearwater Revival fan.

I picked up the guitar because of CCR. I heard the song "Up Around The Bend" on the radio when I was a kid, and I wanted to hear more. So I got their Chronicle Greatest Hits album, and still couldn't get enough. So I got a big box set. I think trying to play along with John Fogerty is probably the biggest reason I didn't give up. Now I still can't help but throw out a Fogerty riff while messing around on the guitar.

I still don't think Fogerty gets enough respect as a player. Everybody holds up Page and Hendrix. Fogerty played guitar like Clapton and sang like Solomon Burke, what more could you ask for?
