I find -1 super easy!

billringer

Sorry, I meant C/Em/F/A?

000

Strumming pattern ?

cazeeo

this song lowkey reminds me of tommy & dreams relationship in the smp lmao

billringer

Is it possible (and sound right) to play it using D/Em/F/A.

FluffyUnicornKnowsBest

+1

Ukubae

I like using +1 but instead of G I do F and one strum

Gaby

I use a capo on the first fret, makes it so much easier to play

Callisto

-1 is super easy! I play C7 after every Gm chord, but stick with C after every F. I find that makes it sound more natural. So instead of F-C-Gm-C, I do F-C-Gm-C7.

katie

-1 is the mamma mia version

Album: Jailhouse Rock

Biography

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the “King of Rock and Roll” or simply “the King”.

Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience.
