Can't help falling in love

Beautiful Doug! Love your "well used" Fender! That song brought back many memories of my youth in the 60's.

Nicely done!!! I love it when players render a beautiful melody nicely without over embellishment.

Thanks guys! I didn’t like Elvis much when I was a teenager, but when I reached my later years I was surprised at how much he had improved! :)

Thanks Mike! And I've enjoyed your playing.

Just want to mention... this song is in my "25 Songs" book, but it's a different arrangement, in the key of F. The video version is in C. Here's how that happened. I recently made some backing tracks for one of the singers I work with and she does "Can't Help Falling..." in the key of C. So I used that track to make this video.
