  I heard this acoustic arrangement of this CCR song in an episode of the TV series Sons Of Anarchy.
  It took quite a bit of work to transcribe it. The fingerstyle accompaniment is just 3 chords G, F and C, but they are played in many different ways. So I recorded it in 2 tracks, because I liked this more than arranging it into a solo fingerstyle piece.

    Thanks, Denise.
    
    I listened to your Ipanema on Soundcloud and I really enjoyed the tasteful combination of guitar and sax.

  A really nice artistic approach Wim. I loved the melody over the fingerstyle backing. I hope you enjoyed making it as much as I did listening to it.

  I remember hearing this on Sons of Anarchy (think it was played over a picnic scene in a park that turns into a shoot-out). Great TV by the way.
  So I went right downstairs to my little studio to learn it, and performed it live a few times using my Boss looper. Got a great reception, but never recorded it.
  
  But you inspired me to get it down for posterity. It’s such a simple but engaging instrumental.
  You did a great job on this.
  Thanks Wim.

  Well done. Great submission.
  
  Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

  Thanks for all your nice comments.
  This guitar arrangement is actually by Lyle Workman & The Forest Rangers and is on the soundtrack of Sons of Anarchy.
  
  I just had to transcribe (and learn) it, because I could not find good tabs on the internet.
