Everly Brothers
Love Her (1963)
(Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil)
A very beautiful song; not well known, though. Strings, bass, acoustic and
electric guitars blend,
creating multi-layered chords that are hard to reproduce with just one guitar. The voicings
suggested below attempt to recreate the main lines.
