Stand By Me - Ben E. King [RSL Acoustic Debut Grade]

Hello guitar students! This is the guitar part of the debut grade song you might be learning - please practice along with the track and you can watch and learn how I am playing the different parts also.

TIPS:
_______
The Stand By Me guitar part follows the vocal melody which is sung in the original song - if you know the song you'll understand this better when you play it on the guitar!

The key here is learning the parts which are based around A major pentatonic notes, so the open string and 2nd fret on the G, B and E string is where you'll be playing predominantly. Once you know the melody on the guitar, think about when each part is played as the timing is really important.

Listen to this playthrough to understand when each melody line is played and your playing will get better - muscle memory will kick in!

Make sure you keep in time with the tempo and the ticking metronome is there to guide you. Practice along with the track until you can play all the way through.
