Lesson notes

'Can You Feel The Love Tonight?' is a song from Disney's 1994 film 'The Lion King', composed by artist Elton John with lyrics by Tim Rice. It earned the duo the Academy Award for Best Original Song. 

This lesson teaches a fingerstyle arrangement in the key of G, where the guitar is capoed on the 3rd fret. 

It breaks down several examples for the fingerpicking, and a few strumming suggestions for the ones who prefer to do that.  We take a look at the chords, including some inversions and their fingerings, as well as how to incorporate the melody in the intro. 

Keep in mind, one should be comfortable fingerpicking in general. It should also come out a little different each time.
