_ _ _ _ _ [G] Hi, Malcolm from Guitars Rock.
So Heard Through the Grapevine by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Now that introduction, John Fogarty has lowered his sixth string down from E [D] down to D which
is two semitones.
OK, [A] so it's normally up [E] there.
[A] [Em] We need to tune it to the fourth [D] string.
That's your fourth string.
[E] _ [D#] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] OK, so you're playing the fifth string, [D] fifth fret.
[Dm] _ And you're putting your pinky on the eighth fret.
[Am] [E] Then coming down to the [D] seventh fret.
And you're picking both [C#m] fifth and sixth [D] strings. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
OK, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] and the introduction to the song is four of those sequences.

[A] _ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [G] _ _ [A] _
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Dm] It is a grapevine.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [Em] OK, now going through the verse and the chorus, I just played that over and over so you can
get a feel for the timing because it [G] is just a little bit tricky.
So [Dm] just running you through the chords, the first chord is D minor.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
[Em] That's A [A] seventh to [G] [Dm] G.
Alright, we'll just do it again.
_ [A] D minor to G.
[G] Then that repeats [Dm] itself.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ And to B [B] minor up [G] to G.
[Dm] And then D minor down [G]
[Bm] to G.
Alright, so we'll do that again.
B minor up to G.
_ [G] _
[Dm] D minor down to G.
[G] _ And to the [Dm] chorus.
So _ [G] _ _ [Dm] D minor down to G.
And then back again to D minor.
_ So [G] the _ accent comes on.
[Em] [G] It's going grapevine.
_ [Dm] _ _
OK, [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [G] _
_ [F#] on the instrumental I mean he plays a very, very long, several instrumentals and very long.
And he's basically playing it on the pentatonic [Dm] D minor.
Which [C#] starts, the extended one starts here on your [A#] sixth string on the [Am] third fret.
[F] _ [Em] So running up the third and fifth frets, [G] sixth, fifth and [Dm] fourth.
[A] _ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[D#] _ [Dm] _ And also [G] _ _ [Dm] _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ [Fm] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ _ [Dm] up here. _ _ _
_ [G] _ [C] _ [Dm] _ [Am] _ [Em] _ [Dm] _
Alright, [Dm] so all around that _ [Fm] pentatonic.
_ And a lot of fun just ad-libbing through the song on that pentatonic.
OK, so [C#] that's Heard It Through The Grapevine
