"Love Me Tender" by Elvis Presley

Very nice ballad.. For this song, I worked on the original Elvis recording. This is just the guitar part as simple as it played :-)

"I Shot The Sheriff" by Eric Clapton

For these lessons, I decided to work with the Clapton's version. Even if the original Marley's song sounds very nice, the guitar strumming of Clapton was more usefull to define something clear with an acoustic. To be able to  adapt it, I used a capo on the 3rd fret and the left hand muting technique :-)

"Dust In The Wind" by Kansas

Great song to learn the fingerpicking technique :-)



"Dust In The Wind" parts 1 to 6

"Jamming" by Bob Marley & the Wailers

Because of the orchestration, there is no exact way to play this song with an acoustic guitar. Here is my arrangement, I chose a special strumming for the 1st riff to keep the spirit of the original intro.

"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt

Nice song by James Blunt with an interesting chords progression on the 8th fret :-)

"Over The Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Very beautiful cover by the Hawaïïn Israel Kamakawiwo'ole with his Ukulele. A Ukulele is most of time tuned with a high G 1st string (g-C-E-A) which is good to play melodies, but sometimes the players prefer to use a low G 1st string as the guitar tuning (G-C-E-A). This is what happen here and this is why there is a possibility to reproduce the song at the guitar. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole played with his fingers and his strumming technique was very, very great. I use a pick to try to find something close, and it's sound quite good, even if I know that it's not as great as he did :-)
