Learn how to play Born on the Bayou, as performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) released as part of their 1969 album Bayou Country. One of the defining songs for the band and has an interesting guitar solo combining two string picking techniques and using parts of chords to create a melodic instrumental section.

The lesson covers the rhythm and lead guitar parts, but mostly focusing on the lead guitar section.
