How to play 'Centerfield' by John Fogerty

This is such a fun song! Join me to learn the chords, strumming and rhythm patterns as well as a shuffle rhythm - and of course the super cool intro that kicks the whole thing off - there's something for everyone in this classic tune. We'll slowly tear it all apart and then as always, we'll do a slow playalong and then it's full speed ahead toward the end for a complete playalong at concert speed while I call out the chords and sections. Join me!
I'll be using the Beatbuddy (Rock 1 pattern at 142BPM) to keep us all together.
And we'll be using the amazing AEROS Loop Studio GOLD EDITION pedal from Singular Sound. Play along with me!

Well done Shane. You continue to expand the breath of online guitar tutorials and make us better for it. Thank you.

Shane, what a great song to practice and master a lot of nice techniques. And the way you present them demystifies them and allows everyone to practice what they feel they can handle, then move on to the details that might have otherwise discouraged someone. Great lesson!

Your videos make me want to grab my guitar and play along. Thanks dude!

[wallymurray]

Well, I can see what I’m going to try and learn this weekend, that intro looks fun.
As has been mentioned, this lesson looks to help us learn or at least improve on a few techniques, great choice.
Hope you’re doing well, thanks again for another fun lesson.

Thanks Shane! Special memories today!

Thank you Shane. There are a ton of guitar instructors on YouTube, but I seem to enjoy your style the most. Would love for you to do a Dan Fogelberg song soon. "Part of the Plan" is my favorite 🙂

[Stringbean]

I purchased a Beat Buddy that you use in your videos. They are absolutely fantastic pieces of kit and add a whole knew feel when playing the guitar. I don't think I could have taken advantage of your promo code though because I live in the UK.

Can you teach me proud mary by John fogerty

[pattybentley]

Hi Shane, thanks for another great song. I’m wondering why this didn’t come to my email as I am a Patreon subscriber. I wanted to download the music sheets and it says I need to upgrade?

[maconmemories]

Thanks Shane, as a beginner. Would you recommend the Beat Buddy or Looper as a first pedal?

[Tim.R.McDonald]

When I saw the notification I thought I read "Centerfold". "Centerfield" is probably a better choice... J. Geils is a bit different than J. Fogerty
