BMR and Proud Mary are played in the key of D by tuning the guitar down a whole step and basing the licks around E, A, and B chord shapes. That is where those classic licks come from. Not many people can replicate them out of the traditional D/G/A shapes.
That technique is used on several other CCR songs - Fortunate Son and Run Through the Jungle come to mind. If you watch videos of John Fogerty in concert, he usually plays a black Les Paul on the songs that feature a guitar tuned down a full step.
