On this day in 1956, Elvis recorded “Love Me Tender” for his upcoming movie of the same name. By early November, the song had reached #1 on the Billboard charts, replacing “Don’t Be Cruel,” which had replaced “Hound Dog.” All in all, Elvis spent 16 weeks at the top of the charts that summer, setting a record that remained unbroken until 2004. To honor this achievement, we’re posting a video of The King performing “Don’t Be Cruel.”
This all-time classic has an infectious groove and easy chords that make it a great song for beginners. Our video lesson will teach you the backbeat strum pattern and a few rhythmic tricks that will have you sounding Kingly in no time (make that 4/4 time, actually)!
Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to know so much approximately this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something. I think that you just could do with a few % to pressure the message house a bit, but other than that, that is excellent blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
Pretty great post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to mention that I’ve really enjoyed surfing around your weblog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing on your rss feed and I’m hoping you write once more very soon!
