FUN FACT: If you listen to the original recording of this song, it has a bass intro, that is actually Elvis playing the Fender bass. Story has it that Bill Black, Elvis' original bass player, and Bill played stand up bass, Bill got frustrated with the Fender bass and threw it down. Elvis said "I'LL PLAY THE DAMN THING" (according to Elvis' drummer DJ Fontana ) and so he did. So, that's EP playing bass on this song.
Great tut on a classic song. First time I played this song, my fingers discovered the opening hook with the hammer on in the key of F. Playing the much dreaded full barre, I just lifted the index finger and brought it down. It seemed natural and has a lovely deep resonance, but then you'd have to do the almost equally dreaded Bb chord!
I just got a Dove pro , now i'm thinking I should have got the Epi's version of guitar you have , does it's have more volume & bass you think as the common Martin / Gibson HumingBird/Dove shape? The Dove is thinner than I my other acoustics by 1/3". Maybe thats why it;s a little more "focused" sounding & not as as loud. Sounds good. Elvis got me into music I was into Elvis when my buddies were into KISS I liked the 50's stuff till I heard Back in Black that was it. Game over must play guitar was activated in my brain. lol
Erich, you're not square, Dude! You're awesome! Thanx for this fun Elvis song. I grew up listening to Elvis, and he was def not square! Keep 'em coming, Erich! We're having fun!
Man please do a tutorial on Marie's The Name (His Latest Flame) by Elvis. I swear not a single person on yt teaches that sounds right to me. I can't figure out the percussion hits/strumming pattern
Great lesson Erich! Some feedback- when I’m looking for lessons on a cool song that’s a bit off the beaten path, you’re always there. (e.g. - Spanish Bombs) Apparently we have similar musical tastes. Great job, love your channel
sceno Do 1 minute changes. Go from G to C with a timer on for 1 minute. If you write down how many times you changed chords you'll be able to see the progress over time and youll be wondering what was so hard about it. Been playing for about 4 months now and doing 1 minute chords changes has helped me improve most. Courtesy of JustinGuitar (I would link the lesson but I'm on mobile)
Thanks for responding. I've seen another substitute by barring the first two strings at the 1st fret, then the G string at the 2nd fret and the D string at the 3rd fret. Will that work?
Nice singing and playing the verse, but how about playing and singing the bridge? Cuz, no, it is NOT an F# diminished you are showing. The notes you are playing and sounding (although not in this order) are B D# F# A - a B dominant 7th chord, in 2nd inversion with F# in the bass. Well, I suppose you could call in a D# diminished triad with an added major 6th "B". And no, it does not at all "sound terrible by itself." However, IF you played the "C" (as you mention) instead of the open "B" then it indeed would be a diminished 7th. But you aren't doing that. MOREOVER... Elvis is singing a D natural on that chord, and that chord you are teaching really sounds wrong under the vocal. I see different players playing different things at theis juncture, some not even changing from the "F" chord, one dude even playing a F# major chord, which really sounds wrong. A plain old D triad with an F# in the bass (thumb) here sounds way better than your chord with the voice. What is Scotty Moore playing on the original Elvis recording???? I dunno! ok, "Sage?"
the only reason I bought a guitar is so I could learn this song, then I found your channel so thanks btw you do a great job on it

Awesome! I barely heard of this song a week ago and loved it and looked for chords but none where good as your tutorial! Thank you!

Hey wolf did you ever figure out Marie's the Name?

👊🏻🙏
In the chorus the part that ascends from an F to G isn't there an intermediary F#13th or diminished chord?
Could be, Jack. I did not hear it, but I’ve heard wrong before.
@@yourguitarsage No I was wrong. I meant the bridge and you do the diminished.
Looking for tips for the F chord.
th-cam.com/video/H8uxxU6wL68/w-d-xo.html
why does C/F still work over "you don't like rockin' bands" you are singing different notes so shouldn't you need two different chords?
Definitely a buddy holly song :s
I fucking love you mate
Haha!! So kind! Thanks Mike🤘🙌👊🏻
@@yourguitarsage STRUMMING whats the STRUMMING
It so hard to change to C what should I do
I started a month ago

Oliver Lewis thak you i will try
Practice bro! You're only at it a month, keep practicing!
I don't know why your heart beats but it does. i think is the lyric
or maybe not! haha
I don't know why my heart flips. That's what it sounds like anyway
You sound like a younger Elvis at the beginning :)
Hi! Can you explain to me how ypu do the intro? It's the hardest part for me
Queen brought me here
Same
if you dont know the lyrics, im done here.
You teach us a substitute for the F chord but yet you still use the F bar chord throughout the lesson
Because I can play it. The substitute was for YOU if you can’t.
Thanks for responding. I've seen another substitute by barring the first two strings at the 1st fret, then the G string at the 2nd fret and the D string at the 3rd fret. Will that work?
🙂🤣
Just, the version is not accurate, sounds more like the Buddy Holly´s version

Not everyone knows that. But yes, 1,4,5.
