TABLATURE TUESDAY: ELVIS PRESLEY - A BIG HUNK O' LOVE


This song was a #1 hit in 1959.  Hank Garlands solo has a Chuck Berry-style, double-note bluesy lead, as do most of his fills during the verses.  There are some string bends (including unison bends), boogie bass lines, rhythmic chord chops, and some pianistic two and three-note chord pounding, all of which intensify a solid rock groove. Chet Atkins played second guitar!!
