Love Me Tender put new words to a new musical adaptation of an 1861 Civil War song called ‘Aura Lee’. George R. Poulton wrote the music to ‘Aura Lee’, and the lyrics were written by W. W. Fosdick. The principal writer of the lyrics to Love Me Tender was Ken Darby. Darby adapted Poulton’s Civil War tune ’Aura Lee’, which was in the public domain. Love Me Tender was published by Elvis Presley Music and credited to Presley and Darby’s wife Vera Matson. Elvis Presley received co-songwriting credit for Love Me Tender due to his publishing deal which demanded songwriters concede 50 percent of the credit of their song if they wanted Presley to record it.

The more playing styles and techniques a guitarist can learn, the more diverse and self-sufficient a guitarist will become. A self-sufficient guitarist can then teach themselves, communicate with other musicians, and even write their own music once a solid foundation of fundamentals is established. The Creative Guitarist Method Series was written and designed by Kevin J. Paluzzi of Paluzzi Guitar Instruction in San Diego, CA. For more information on private lessons and books, go to: San Diego Guitar Lessons There really isn’t any one particular playing style or technique required in order to classify someone as a guitarist. For example, Andres Segovia, the Beatles, and Carlos Santana are all considered legendary performing guitarists, but each has his own particular style or technique (fingerstyle, strumming, and soloing) for playing. Every guitarist will have their own personal preferences when it comes to what style of music they would initially like to learn. Some may have a more-specific goal (singer/songwriter, soloist, etc.), while others may prefer a more general or overall approach to learning various playing styles and techniques. This series of books and videos are designed with a ‘pick and choose’ topic format (songwriting, soloing, etc.) so that once the Guitar Basics are completed, the guitarist can decide to focus on whatever topic they wish to study.
