Hey friends! Here's a lesson showing you how to play the Ben E. King classic "Stand By Me" with an acoustic guitar, no capo, key of C. Notably, I'm deviating from the "official" key of this song (Key of A) in order to prioritize an "easy to play & sounds just like the song" arrangement, which I trust you'll find helpful. I break the lesson into two halves: (1) learning the intro, and then (2) learning how to strum the verse & chorus sections. Here's timestamps for my video lesson:
0:00 Lesson overview
2:10 Intro riff: the basics
9:13 Intro riff: adding percussion
16:02 Verse & chorus strumming
23:46 Full playthrough
I hope you enjoy!

@Jaques Demolay Hey - I'm using a Taylor 310 in this video, and most of my existing ones! the GS Mini I got is relatively recent (it has a darker koa finish). I believe Taylor doesn't make the 310 anymore? I got mine in 2001.

So great! Thank you! I’ve been playing the chords to this song but couldn’t figure out this intro riff and I’m so glad to have found your video. You are a great teacher and this is so helpful.

Even a single strum makes the song complete to slow things down singing live. Sometimes a balled is all it takes to make people dance. Less is more. Great tutorial 🎸

Oddly enough this is very similar to the way I learned to how to play this song 20years ago I guess great guitar teachers think alike. Thanks for the refresher it's been a long time since I played it and it's such a fun song to practice walking around the neck of the guitar

Nice, great to hear I'm not alone here! It's funny, before I decided to learn this one - and I was listening to the original recording - I would have bet $100 it was in the key of C, just because it felt like such a natural one for the guitar bass line notes, at least. Was surprised to be wrong. Just the same, hope it's helpful!

This is vary cool! I haven't played this time in years! I ran the bass line through my loop and put in a drum beat also , then the chord progression came out really cool man. Thanks for putting it back in my memory Bank! LOL

Nice - jealous you have all that setup - I need to get on the ball! I do have a looping pedal I picked up a while back but it hasn't been touched since I moved to a new place (a year ago).

@harryodum5598 4 жыл бұрын

@@songnotes it took me a good year to to get this new technology hooked up. The DigiTech Trio Plus seem to be the hardest for me I picked it up used on eBay the guy that got it off of said he could never get it program either. Instruction that came with it had type so small I couldn't hardly see it. But I'm 73 and that don't help LOL my wife copied it out and large type and finally got it. And it's connected to the boss RC-10 total looping workstation and it's cool after learning how set it up with the Trio+. And I'm not that hot with electronics wrong generation. LOL it probably would have been really easy or some of these new cats that use a lot of pedals.

@songnotes 4 жыл бұрын

Too long? Or are you impressed? Seriously would love feedback :) Weirdly, as I've drifted toward "don't rely on editing every single sentence, try to get it in one take, minimize edits" - that makes the overall time of the video go up (good/bad?), even though editing time goes down (very good). Honestly curious though if shorter, to-the-point, 3-5 minute lessons would be something people are interested in - in addition to longer ones (which lets people pick their poison).
