ACOUSTIC GUITAR COVER OF "AND I LOVE YOU SO" WITH BACKGROUND INTRO

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Even if you aren't A fan of 70s music, you've probably heard Don McLean's hit song and I Love youe. So what you may not know is the song was widely covered by other recording artists, most notably Elvis Presley and Perry Como. Yes, I said Perry Como. In a career that spanned decades, Don McLean wrote and recorded 22 studio albums, four live albums and 16 singles. He is best known for his song and album of the same name, American Piece. I'm constantly amazed at the way major recording artists create unique compositions to express their music. And I Love youe so features an original picking method combined with interesting chord shapes. Learning to play a song the way the artist does is a great way to expand your musical scope and technique. Here is my cover of Maclean's hit I've re recorded it 1 fret lower take the next step that's in your wheelhouse this is the path to your success.
