Hi Everyone,

Our newest TARGET and Pay Per Lesson release is on I Was The One by Elvis Presley!

I Was The One is a ballad song recorded and performed by artist Elvis Presley. It was
released as the B-side of his major hit single Heartbreak Hotel, released in 1956.

The arrangement is in the key of C, but features a few chords out of the key as well.

The strumming could be either done in cut time with swing feel or in 6/8 . Personally I prefer
the latter, which might be a tad harder to execute, since the right hand moves much faster.

We also take a look at how to somewhat copy the electric guitar riff in the intro.

Enjoy this level 4 lesson!

TGNess,

And the magic of Elvis returns. As always you channel his spirit so well. Again your love of his music is obvious from the joy you exude while performing it. :kiss:

This is SUCH a 50’s song. The sound but also the lyrics B)

Sounds like an alphabet soup of chords. Cool :P

But one thing I especially love about your playthrough, besides your charismatic singing, is the fantastic way you use percussive elements; using them as your very own, very cool ghost drummer. I love those sounds and all the important stresses that help make your performance so compelling.

Thanks E :woohoo:
