The melody of Hound Dog by Elvis Presley runs 187 notes across 25 bars, 1:12 long in C at 176 beats per minute. The tab sits low on the neck, mostly under the fourth fret, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
Prefer to strum and sing it instead? Hound Dog chords and lyrics.
