Lesson Twelve – “Aura Lee”

If you think this song sounds like Elvis Presley’s “Love Me Tender,”  you’re right.  Here’s what you should keep in mind when practicing this song:

  • This song plays best in the open position.  That is the first three frets, including the open strings.
  • Be sure to play the melody legato – “smooth and connected.”
  • Be sure to learn the new chords – E and G7.
  • A basic 4/4 strum is all that is need to accompany the melody.
