Susie Q Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my Susie Q guitar chords chart by Creedence Clearwater Revival. You’re definitely going to get your 7 chords worked out in this one.

This is a pretty cool song and it also has a cool little lick line that goes along with it.

Main riff:
E|----------------------------------------|
B|----3---------------------------------—|
G|------2-0------------------------------|
D|-------------2-0h2--2---—-0---------|
A|---------------------—-0h2------------|
E|--0------------------------——3b--0---|

The riff takes over most of the songs but if I were going to strum this songs I would likely use an accented rhythm here.
