Lodi - Bass Cover and Playalong with Notation and Tab

Показать описание

A quite simple but yet effective bass line of Stu Cook of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Note how the bass drives song forward.

Some more info about this song:

"Lodi" is a song written by John Fogerty and performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Recorded in March 1969, it was released in April, four months before the album, as the B-side of "Bad Moon Rising", the lead single from Green River.

Background

The song describes the plight of a down-and-out musician whose career has landed him playing gigs in the town of Lodi, California. After playing in local bars, the narrator finds himself stranded and unable to raise bus or train fare to leave. Fogerty later said he had never actually visited Lodi before writing the song, and simply picked it for the song because it had "the coolest sounding name." The song's chorus, "Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again," has been the theme of several city events in Lodi.

The song's arrangement includes a change of key in the final verse of the track, emphasising the melancholy drama of the lyric, "If I only had a dollar for every song I sung..."

Reception

Billboard described the single as having "an easy beat," being as powerful as its flip side "Bad Moon Rising" and as having a similar feel to Creedence Clearwater Revival's earlier single "Proud Mary." Cash Box similarly described it as "powerhouse material" that is similar to and as strong as the group's previous single "Proud Mary."

Songwriter's assessment

John Fogerty stated, "On 'Lodi', I saw a much older person than I was, 'cause it is sort of a tragic telling. A guy is stuck in a place where people really don't appreciate him. Since I was at the beginning of a good career, I was hoping that that wouldn't happen to me."

Love the super clean shot and how easy it is to see your finger movements. I know when I record, even if I get a clean shot of my hand, it's not always clear what fret Im on. Kudos.
