AcousticTrench is a popular YouTube channel featuring a guitarist named Trench and his dog Maple. Most of the videos are songs played on guitar, but a few feature harp and kalimba instrumentals. A kalimba or mbira is an African instrument that is played with the thumbs. In the video above, Trench plays Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love on the music box-like instrument before Maple comes to say hello.

Below, a more contemporary song choice: All The Small Things by blink-182.
