Default Stand By Me - Fingerstyle Guitar Cover

Hi everyone,

Here's my fingerstyle guitar cover of "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King. I tried to come up with a way to play the bassline and melody together. I hope you enjoy listening. :-)

All the best & have a good day!

Thanks for posting. One of my favorite tunes and I really like what you've done with it. I checked out your rendition of "Hit the Road, Jack" also. The interplay between bass and melody is very cool on both of these.

Very well done! That's a tough challenge to put the bass pattern and melody line together in some coherent manner.

Nicely done!
