Lessons
Lesson 1: I Want You, I Need You, I Love You by Elvis Presley - Guitar Lesson
I Want You, I Need You, I Love You is a song written by Maurice Mysels and Ira Kosloff, and another big hit single in 1956 for artist Elvis Presley.
The arrangement is mainly in the key of C, but uses a lot of chords out of the key, and even changes keys in the bridge. It includes several barre chords. For that, a complete beginner is encouraged to try another Elvis-song first.
The strumming could be either done in cut time with swing feel or in 6/8 . The latter is probably a tad harder to execute, since the right hand moves much faster.Lesson 2: Little Sister - Acoustic Guitar Lesson
This classic Elvis hit is based around a 12 bar blues progression and incorporates some excellent blues licks. In this lesson you’ll get the inside scoop on the riffs that makes up the song, as well as how to play the chords. Not only will you learn these hot licks, but you’ll also get a good dose of tempo and meter change, which will significantly increase your sense of timing and rhythm.
Lesson 3: Suspicious Minds - Acoustic Guitar Lesson
This Elvis song is a perfect example of how good songwriting can take simple chords and embellish them using relatively easy techniques.
