About This Song

Burning Love by Elvis Presley (1972) is one of Elvis's most energetic rock recordings, and it's a great intermediate guitar challenge. The song uses D, G, A, and Bm in D Major — the addition of Bm (B minor) sets it apart from purely beginner songs. The Bm barre chord on the 2nd fret is the key challenge: index finger bars all six strings at fret 2, with the remaining fingers forming an Am shape two frets up. The verse walks through D/G/A/D while the chorus hits Bm/A/A/G three times before resolving A/D. The driving D DU UDU strumming captures Elvis's high-energy delivery. Highly recommended at JBX Music's intermediate guitar classes in Mumbai.
