They all seem to have a valid and musical take on this classic. • However, my favorite version, from a guitar perspective, is the version recorded by Otis Redding in 1964. Session guitarist Steve Cropper laid down some very cool guitar lines, so I thought, if I was gonna do a Stand By Me lesson, this is the one I would like to do. • The guitar is tuned to standard, however, the key of the song is raised up a 1/2 step from the original Ben E King version from A major to Bb major. • I have included not only the guitar chords, but I also incorporated the bass line into the lesson as well. You can easily play them together to get the full sound of the song. • During the verse we have a cool bass line that moves around quite a bit, followed by some chord stabs on a few basic triads. Make sure you kill the sound of those triads immediately to help keep the rhythm moving along. • In the chorus we drop the bass line and just play the chords albeit in a different rhythm. I will count out that rhythm for you in the lesson so you can know exactly when to hit those chord stabs. • During the second verse is where things really begin to get interesting. Guitarist Steve Cropper does some nice soloing that compliments the vocals very well with double-stops, slides and pull-offs. It creates a very musical statement. He then repeats it almost exactly the same way except for a slight variation at the beginning. • I think this lesson would be a great challenge for the intermediate level player and when you have that along with a classic song, you really can't lose. :) • Carl...
