Hello friends,
and welcome to another By Request song tutorial, brought to you by Revo Guitar Straps. In this lesson, I'll revamp a previous tutorial on Ben E. King's 1962 classic "Stand By Me." This time around, I'll be showing you a more advanced version that features percussive strumming, and embellishments taken from Lloyd Trotman's iconic bassline. For the more advanced viewers, I'll also demonstrate how you can solo over this tune with some Jimi Hendrix inspired licks. This lesson was made possible by my supporters at Patreon.com/swiftlessons and my friends at Revo Guitar Straps. Let's get started! fbit.co/217S

[@stefenalexanderhwang8383]

[@Cacofonixravi]

Thank you Bro. You are such a great teacher. Inspired. Hope to get it. Knowledge should be shared for betterment of humanity. Only big hearted can do this. On behalf of humanity thank you teacher. Best wishes.

[@teonguyen1]

Honestly , I think you are the coolest dude i found on youtube, You are very details in your tutorials with chords and especially the picking and strumming patterns which others never want to share unless paying them money.. Thank you.

[@lincolnfromct34]

That’s some sweet playing and singing: beautiful. What a treat. Great lesson, too. The Perfect Storm of talent.

[@SuperNayaab]

when i first started the lesson i thought i'd skip the riff (never played a riff before) and even now it feels difficult but im halfway through (never could have imagined) and am determined to learn it completely. Thanks

[@susanaespolong1518]

You are so blessed,multi-gifted, highly entertaining.Thank you for your guitar tutorials-- a wealth of information I can learn from and process slowly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@alexuscool9990]

Excuse my English, I'm from Russia and it's not my native language:) Thank you so much for your lessons! You're doing it in so positive way and it helps me a lot to improve my guitar playing and music theory! Keep it going! Always great to watch your new videos.

[@swiftlessons]

+Alexus Cool I really appreciate your kind words Alexus. Thanks for taking the time. I'll have many more lessons up in the coming days, so keep checking back. Enjoy your progress. -Rob

[@martilyachenovich3669]

lol it´s okei

[@philippecollard2204]

That build up after the solo is simply amazing !

[@Rishdogg34]

How could anyone dislike this? You are amazing man I hope one day I can play this song half as good as you!

[@eveyeverson2405]

It's not about him or his guitar ability, it's about him delivering a lesson that sucks ! Yes, he's good, and we are trying to be good also ? He crams way to much in this lesson !

[@jaime7120]

Evey Everson do you want a hour lesson?

[@Mohammed8778]

it sounds nothing like the original. some parts of the "bassline" are one octave up which kind of defeats the purpose of having a bass(sic!) line at all. if you listen to the song, there is the bass, playing the bass line and on top a variety of different instruments. some being violins or even voice. no strumming guitar whatsoever. yet there is a guitar in the beginning that you actually can learn. its not to be found here tho

[@munsonHOF]

Great lesson. I like that you added the solo. That helps those of us who are trying to progress into solos.

[@skaz1504]

Stop fun to play and sing--a true classic! Thank you for this re-make! Love your channel

[@davidgarcia9672]

[@Max1dollar]

You are by far my favorite guitar teacher on KZbin. I love how detailed every lesson is and how you show how the song is going to sound before you teach it, unlike most Guitar lessons on KZbin. Keep it up man! You're doing a great job 👍🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👌🏼

[@swiftlessons]

Thank you. Excellent lesson.

[@Haiyain]

Wonderful! Thank you for this!

[@chrishartmusic87]

Amazing lesson. You have a great voice aswell. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@hunkosaurusrex]

Great voice. So powerful. Find it interesting how you sing in a way I do opposite. You sing the word "shed" softer than "a tear" which is louder and stronger and the same for "stand" is softer than "by me" which is stronger and louder. Also, there is a weird small echo sound throughout, bit distracting. Love your clear radiant singing. Thank you for making this helpful video.

[@MB-ol4xc]

He uses a lot of autotune

[@cntrlscrutinizer5374]

Very nice cover to say the least!

[@renelasser1419]
