Elvis Presley Volume 2 Pack

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. In this lesson you’ll learn the fingerpicking patterns and how to turn a standard chord into something much more creative and interesting by varying the fingering patterns and rhythms. If you’re looking for a fun song to help you improve in multiple areas of guitar playing, than look no further.

  One of the most famous Elvis songs, this tune is one that will have you shaking and grooving with the catchy blues riffs, while your fingers get a workout on the dual solos. In this lesson you’ll get access to all the licks, riffs and guitar tricks of this classic rockabilly hit!

• Lesson 5: One Night

  'One Night', originally recorded by Smiley Lewis, is another cool song by singer Elvis Presley. It was released in 1958 as a double A-side with 'I Got Stung'. 

  The song is in the key of E and is relatively easy and much fun to play. 

  This lesson breaks down the chords, the strumming with swing feel, and the little bass riffs which Presley throws in there all over the song. 

  This should be in every Elvis fan’s repertoire!
