This is one of the first songs I learned on guitar. Now that I watched this video I see how I can add fillers and licks to make it my own version. Very cool!

Great lesson. I’ve always liked this song. The guitar licks create an incredible vibe. New players trying to learn this from this site should use headphones And buy/ download the song. That really helps.

GREAT stuff, James! Definitely Hank Garland. 👍🏻 He and Bill Munroe were the principle architects of the Nashville Sound. “A list” session player and crossover guitar virtuoso played with everyone from Cowboy Copas to Red Foley, the Everly Brothers, the Chuck Wagon Gang, Patsy Cline, to Elvis Presley. When asked who was the best guitar player in Nashville, Chet Atkins didn’t hesitate: “Hank Garland”. Took his Nashville Allstars to the Newport Jazz Festival and blew minds. Check out the classic “Jazz Winds From A New Direction” LP with Hank, Joe Morello and Gary Burton on CBS Records. Guy did it all until permanently incapacitated in his tragic September 1961 auto accident.

I don't frequent very many channels regularly but your channel is definitely one I always tune into. I also like the volume you play the song at in the background. Its just enough to hear the song in the back. And your ear is amazing. Wish mine was as keen haha. Maybe one day.

Hey JJ, you mentioned you think that Hank Garland was playing the lick. There's a video here on YT posted by Romaico Nieuwland with various clips of Elvis in the studio and it looks like James Burton is playing his pink paisley Tele doing the leads throughout the song. That aside....you rock and I really appreciate your videos.

your doing a great job J just keep on what your doing. I know exactly what chords your doing and know how to play ( advanced) but yr ear is better than mine. As for the Eddie Van Halen stuff I don't do out of respect for him and that's his thing ( lead guitar with piano and percussion infusion). that's his thing and i leave it alone. I prefer Page and Lifeson.

Your lessons are absolutely fantastic and many of us need and love them. However, I must correct you in one area. After the ending verse lines (for example: don't you do what your big sister done), the E chord is not played with all down strokes. This part actually begins with an upstroke. It doesn't matter much but is, in my opinion, a small difference that might help others.
