The melody of Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival runs 246 notes across 40 bars, 3:07 long in G at 108 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
