HOW TO PLAY “BAD MOON RISING” BY CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVI– Easy Guitar Lesson

Capo: No
Strumming: 1 2+ +4+
Chords: D – A – G – D

This classic groove is a great song for practicing tight rhythm timing and quick chord switching. The progression repeats throughout most of the song, which makes it perfect for building confidence while playing along with a steady beat.

Tip:
Focus on keeping your strumming hand moving continuously—even when you’re not hitting the strings. That motion helps the syncopated “+” up-strums feel natural and gives the song its signature bounce.

Start slow, loop the progression a few times, and then gradually bring it up to speed. Once it locks in, you’ll find this one is super fun to sing along with too!

Save this lesson and try playing along today—and let me know if you'd like a lead riff version next!
