That one song launched my 50 year career in the music business. Nothing like a 9 year old begging his parents to take him to see his first concert and being floored….and inspired beyond belief. Ironically some of the members became friends in later years. Thanks so much for covering this silly but fun and classic song.

Hey Angela!!! My favorite song! I listen to Three Dog Night since I'm 11 years old and I'm 55!!! Its the same kind of music as C.C.R. but they didn't have the same success!!!! Keep Rockin'! From Québec Canada !!!!

Tuning in from Perth Western Australia. Great workout for the "7" Barre chords that I am not good at yet !

Phoenix here, I am glad you clarified the song is Hoyte Axton's, Hoyte is rarely giving his due ( I feel ). Christmas in prison by John prine is my favorite holiday song. That and Alice's restaurant on Thanksgiving.

I’ve struggled with bad chords! You beginners hang in there! You’ll get it!

At about 6:00, you said the barre finger should be perpendicular to the fret. It should actually be parallel to the fret. I realize that you simply misspoke but wanted to help clarify. You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. And to the beginners: Barre chords only seem impossible. Before you know it, they will become easy, just as Angela said!

I kept waiting for an explanation of the count. The syncopated rhythm is very important in this song. For example the G chord in the intro is pushed and comes on 4+ of the first bar. I haven't played this song since college and needed to relearn parts of it. Angela's lesson is good and well presented. I wish the rhythm had been taught.

U don't have to EXPLAIN what is a D, G and C and B Flat chord in such detail!
