I wasnt happy with any of the lessons on youtube for this song because none of them played it properly. Now that i found your lesson i can finally learn it
great teaching video, certainly not for beginners, I'm a "Flat pick & fingers man" so the style is something I understand. I have played the song with various bands over the years, and always thought I had got it pretty near, but this lesson shows me I need to put a bit more time in to get it right so thank you very much..Kind rgds Andy Spivey UK
GREAT version. I've been playing this song for centuries with just the basic strumming patterns. I would love to get more on the fingerpicking pattern you're using.
@@mattsmusicacademy5189 BTW: I just signed up with your Academy to learn (re-learn?) piano. Looking forward to making real progress compared to the three years I took lessons.
Very good! I liked it very much. And yes I believe James Burton played it this way. But what about the single version with Reggie Young? That intro sounds so pure.
After explaining the intro pattern, lesson starts at 3:20 Interesting version with a B Major over "Suspicious", and the Diminished chord thrown in just before the "slow part". Going to have to try those out and considering throwing them into my rendition with is using the original chords off of the "official video" version that doesn't have those chords in it. They seem to twist the ear a bit more than the original version does, which adds a bit of interest to it.
There ain't a bad version of this song this was excellent all players should have their own take of all songs otherwise play the record a close up of the diminished chords would have helped but I'll work it out good job
Nice job, glad to see someone doing it right. Just a question: You said the guitar is by James Burton, but the credits for the song on Wikipedia say the guitars are by Elvis and Reggie Young. Is James Burton one of Elvis’s live band guitarists and Young was on the original track?
It is not James Burton on the recording of "Suspicious Minds". It was the great, Memphis guitar player, Reggie Young. Burton played on many but not all of the Elvis hits. Certainly not this one. You might have seen him play it live with Elvis but he didn't play it on the recording.
You are fantastic but got to tell you something. I was playing in Memphis one Saturday night and James Burton caught my acoustic show and saw the way I was playing it with bar chords with the double stops as hammer ons after each chord in a Hendrix style licks and he told me the only reason he decided to come in was because I was the only one he had heard live to play it as it was recorded. He said as Elvis started doing it faster in his live shows he got out of the habit of doing it in the muting bar chords and did it in open chords to get through it so fast. Lol, I was so awestruck I just said thank you sir.... My claim to fame!!! Lol.... PS you are a fabulous picker....
My issue isn't how much he talks, it's the lack of explanation about the non-standard chord playing. He explains the chords you need, then plays a G with a hammer-on C which he hadn't mentioned at the start, then a C with elements of D but doesn't explain that at all. Then "you just walk down" apparently. And in the 'slow bit' you have figure it out for yourself.
Sigh. Reggie Young is the guitar player on the recorded version of the song. Burton is the one who plays it live and he plays it with open chords. Reggie Young on the recorded version does not play with open chords. A for effort though.
From the UK. Excellent Lesson. Good to hear it played correctly

Thanks for the comment! Keep playing!
When I herd the chords for the Deliverance banjo duel, it brought back real bad memories of that film.
*_you got a rare frickin gift Pilgrim ...phenomenal...thanx!!_*
Excelent my dear! Just one thing, the chord B for me is minor, don´t you thing fits better?
Fantastic...got it now
Great tune Elvis Burton and Tutt, what a band
GREAT version. I've been playing this song for centuries with just the basic strumming patterns. I would love to get more on the fingerpicking pattern you're using.
Sure thing! Thanks for the comment.

@@cjlooney9152 hey man, thanks so much!! Make sure to send me a video with your progress!
Very nice learned big time very fast watching you do those chords thank you brother
Well played ...from South-Africa
Very good! I liked it very much. And yes I believe James Burton played it this way. But what about the single version with Reggie Young? That intro sounds so pure.
For sure! I’ll do video on that. He did it from Bar chord positions
Thanks for the lesson. I'm in Blackheath, London. Was this the way Reggie Young played it?
Thanks for comment! No, Reggie played it a little different. This is how James played it live

It's not diminished, It's B suspended 4th
Don’t know why you apologise in the beginning of the video ,your voice is really nice to listen to
Good tutorial and fantastic voice
Thanks!!
Nice job
I think Reggie Young played guitar on the studio version of Suspicious Minds.
That is correct!

And you have a great voice .
Incredible ! Thanks so much : )
Great job

Yes. Reggie is on the record. He plays it a little different then James did live. Thanks for the question!
Wow wasnt expecting that well done....get yourself a cowboy hat, skinny ripped jeans and your a star
From Ireland man
Hey Leo!!
Hi Matt you're good you sound just like him very nice.......billybones

Thanks for the comment. You are correct. I’m showing James here.
Such a shame you don't put up the full finger pics, chords and rythum on screen
Great playing. But i cant finger pick though
👏👏👏👏 Great!
Thank you! 😃
Still waiting for them tabs! lol
What's the riff you're doing off the C? Similar to the G riff, you didn't show it.
Sure…I’m in an A position hammer ing on the c shape. I’ll send link with it asap. Thanks for question!
Thanks for putting in the Burton Lick, it matters.
U sound like Blake Shelton, can u do a lesson with one of his songs. Thank u ,if u do I well subscribe.
👏👏👏🙌
i've only sung this song 1 million times...and can't remember the words!! lol

@@MrFlood1963 awesome!! Thanks for watching!
the B chord sounds suspicious:) I think its a Bm
That’s correct
Horrible. Where’s the finger picking explained at.
Too much excess talking and jumping back and forth. Sounds great but hard to follow.
Thanks for feedback! Sorry about that
Too much nonsense, we know you can play so stick to the task and leave out the fancy stuff. Too much distraction....
Thanks for feedback. Will do!
Tabs would be awesome...hint hint. lol
I’ll do that!
@@mattsmusicacademy5189 If you add tabs post a link where to get them, i'd be happy to pay the typical tab fee, don't expect it for free. :)
three minutes talking blah bla bla
long time no guitar lessons you make me sleepy dream
Thanks! Sometimes sleep is what we need!
@@mattsmusicacademy5189 get to the point, less blah blah blah
Talks too much
You're playing it wrong.......
Reggie did play it different on record. I’m playing like James did live.
Talk to much
My issue isn't how much he talks, it's the lack of explanation about the non-standard chord playing.
He explains the chords you need, then plays a G with a hammer-on C which he hadn't mentioned at the start, then a C with elements of D but doesn't explain that at all.
Then "you just walk down" apparently.
And in the 'slow bit' you have figure it out for yourself.
Great performance but man can you talk 😂
Yeah, sorry about that.
Waste of a couple of minutes
Thanks! Lol

Correct.
Talks to much
Sorry! Thanks for feedback.
