Fogerty, Hendrix and Clapton have to have heard this song

[sandergordon]

Now I know where the second solo in Suzy Q by CCR came from.

🎶 Whoa, smokestack lightnin'
Shinin' just like gold
Why don't you hear me cryin'?
A-whoo-hoo, a-whoo-hoo, whoo 🎶

[TheNavalAviator]

It's been a while since I found something that kicks ass like this one does.

[Kingscrib]

For every kid who ever wanted to pick up guitar and play this iconic riff, here it is. Great way for a band to learn this incredible music without having the lyrics. It's just the beds, the way it was originally before the vocals were added. 

[reedbender]

Nice rendition ...who's playing ? 🤔 Gary? OK ...cool... ✌

[lepere]

Holy Hubert! Flat gittin' it done.

A-whoo-hoo, a-whoo-hoo, whoo

Whoa-oh, tell me, baby

Why don't you hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo

Whoa-oh, tell me, baby
Where did you stay last night?
Why don't you hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo

Whoa-oh, stop your train
Let a poor boy ride
Why don't you hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo

Whoa-oh, fare-you-well
Never see a you no more
Why don't you hear me cryin'?
Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo
