Love EP's sense of humor! 😂. Thank you for doing these reactions! Love it when you play! 😁❤
60 years on, and Elvis is still getting censored on the Sullivan Show.
LOL, right? But Fil's workaround was clever and typically Pegasus-cool.
Some folks drag us through the mess they cause like keeping James Brown topside so his family could fight over his estate!!! 60 yrs later is beyond crazy!!
It's all about GREED!!!
So that's the performance that got him banned from the waist down? His suit coat hides anything really provocative.
I think this is the first time (I was born in 58) I've seen the video-thank you, Fil, for the link.
It's really still banned in some countries? That's insane!
@@Andrea.S.Alvey12 The "banned from the waist down" thing is a myth. There are numerous video clips from 1956 proving it.
My father gave me driving lessons one day when we heard on the car radio that Elvis had passed away. He told me to turn around and drive back home..........I saw what Elvis meant to my parents through their eyes that day, I will never forget. YOU AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A HOUND DOG, CRYIN' ALL THE TIME...
Condoléances. He was missed.
I was just getting home from work when I heard about it
Elvis has left the building, but Fil is in the house taking us through his performance with excellency. 👍
Yes sir!!! 👍😊🎶
Yes! Fil is in the house and has provided us with another splendid music analysis. Thank you very much!
So glad Fil kept his shirt on
Thanks for showing us all that there is more to this song than I realized...a lot of technique.
Thanks for putting the spotlight on Scotty Moore...He's one of my absolute favorite guitar players...Despite his iconic status in the annals rock
music it somehow feels like he still deserves wider recognition for his innovations...Top technique, fantastic sound, distinctive style and above all the quality that so many technically proficient players seem to forget about (or simply lack) - exquisite taste...
Thanks Fil, great as always!
Exquisite taste... How rightly, you express this.
mine too
Thank you for remembering the King. Elvis is the man. 🇺🇸
I saw this performance live on TV back when I was just 6 years old in glorious Black and White. I actually remember it very well, that's how much of an impression he made on me at just 6 years of age. My older sister was crazy about Elvis and I liked him too, believe it or not! Oh, he was not only a great showman but probably the best looking man to ever sing/perform on TV to this day!
Hi Fil! I remember Hound Dog coming out in 56! I was a ten year old little girl, but I sure remember the effect he had on us girls! I am almost 75, and he still gets me weak when his songs are playing! Yes I know he had a guitar player with him, but with Elvis on the stage we didn’t seem to notice! J/K....Scotty was loved too! ✌️
What made girls feel that way? His looks ?
Snap, Sunday morning on family favourites, the light programme
I was very young and riding in the car with my uncle. Suddenly that song came on and it immediately affected me with a new sense of excitement and anticipation. My uncle went to change the station and I quickly put my hand over his wrist to stop him. He looked amused and said You like him? You like Elvis the Pelvis? I had no idea who it was or what he was talking about. But he let me listen to it and every time the radio came on afterward I kept listening for it. Up until that time I had never paid any attention to what was on the radio.
@@Earthtime3978 It was the whole package…the innocent young southern boy with his ‘yes ma’am’. The shyness he had when first starting out…then he would get on stage, and the music started, and the shyness was gone, and when he starting moving his pelvis we were already in a trance! We loved him like a brother, and a lover…he had it all!
@@suzannerobbins6293 trance!! At 10!!!! And me at 10yr didn't like Elvis 🙈
Now I'm in trance 🎶🤕😖😶🎸🔥🤙🔊🙈
It’s got this beautiful rawness that is almost punk.
Thinking about it, I actually agree, never seen it that way before.
Elvis created hard rock, punk and grunge with one song that he did not even write! He changed the melody and the spirit of the original for sure.
I have never seen it that way, but now that you say it, damn you´re right, I totally agree!
Cool work around! Elvis knew how to work the crowd for sure. Thanks Fil!!
I never heard of Scotty Moore and had no idea that he was such a guitar icon. That's why it took me by surprise when I found out year's later that the Beatles and the Rolling Stones sure knew who he was.
He was remarkable and unsurpassed to this day in that style. You rarely see anyone use a hollow body electric guitar in rock music anymore. If there is rock music anymore.
He's buried in a very modest grave in Coxville Tennessee that I suspect is rarely visited. I doubt if 1 in 100 Elvis fans could identify him...or Bill Black for that matter.
Keith Richards have even said that without Scotty Moore there would not be a Rolling Stones.
On which planet were you on till you found out about Scotty Moore lol
Sad....but true
@@Goddybag4Lee Exactly. He even said that when everybody wanted to be like Elvis, he wanted to be like Scotty.
Watching this a year late but still love the review of the brilliance of Scotty Moore’s influence on the rock and roll revolution. Your insight helps us all be better fans! May the King and his sound live forever!
Its funny Fil, even with the blur I can still recognize the stance and movements on the full body scenes in the video are unmistakably Elvis!.
The performance shown at 1'18 in this video is from October 28, 1956...one of the 4 or 5 times Elvis did the song on national TV.
You can easily find it in non-blurry form with a little work.
I suspect it is blurry here only for legal reasons.
Most would tell you that the wildest Elvis TV performances were from The Dorsey Brothers show, before he ever performed on Ed Sullivan. 12 songs spread over 6 shows from January to March 1956. He wasn't on Sullivan until September. All available in non-blurry form.
Thank you for the break down/analysis. I was a huge fan back in the day and I didn't have an appreciation of the guitar playing then. Elvis had such a beautiful voice. He could really sing gospel songs.
Fuken brilliant. Cheers. Thanks for your time.
I love his introduction... He was a funny guy. Always makes me smile, and cry a little bit...
Elvis propably the greatest entertainer of all time. Complete control in his prime and the big voice
Elvis’s first public performance was in Memphis in September 1954.
He was sh#t scared.
Hence the legs that started to tremble and afterwards the question “why were they all screaming ?”.
However, once he learned how he affected an audience, he became a master at whipping-up an audience into a frenzy, although he always was very nervous before a performance.
Well, you saw that in his first Vegas show.
Scotty was awesome. Perfect addition to Elvis! Love it! Excellent analysis and demo Fil! 🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yes indeed, amd it was unfortunate that Parker, who had so much influence, did not have the perception to recognise what an asset Scotty was to Elvis. Elvis had the voice, but it was Scotty's guitar that took it to another level. At that time, I would say the only other player who was as close in skill in the rock-a-billy genre was Cliff Gallup.
When Elvis said "Can I have your attention please?" Silence.
How to 'own', not just the stage, but the whole auditorium.
You do such a great job breaking down these amazing performances and your appreciation for Scott Moore is so deserving... here we are 60+ years later enjoying the music and admiring the greatness of the sound and quality of the notes. Big thank you for taking the time to do this video.
HI FIL WOW OH WOW HOW COOL WAS THAT. LOVE HOW YOU PLAY AND YOUR VIDEOES. YOU ARE THE BEST. ELVIS ROCKS SO DO YOU LOL. GREAT SHOW LIKE ALWAYS. THANKYOU PEACE AND LOVE
🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍👍👍 Great Analisys.👏👏👏..The King👌👌no more words!..👊🤘
Brilliant as always.🌈🎸🌈❤️
Your have things in common with The King; a likable personality, and a great talent
Thanks!
Yes, the backing vocals really were brilliant on the record, and it may have been the first time they were used to back a guitar solo, not the vocal, and that was probably Elvis' idea, since at RCA he was in reality the producer of his tracks as well as the artist. Scotty confirmed that in his book 'That's Alright Elvis'. Back in the day I had this on 10 inch vinyl, and played it so many times on my Mum's stone-age gramaphone, with it's blunder-bus pickup arm that it wore out, and I had to buy another copy. Got it on CD now. How times have changed!
We love Elvis ...
The original hound Dawggggggggggg.
Elvis the pelvis... 🎸 😃
Well Ken, he might have been a hound dog for you but Willie Mae Thornton did the original.
@@56doowopdave big momma is great i agree... But Elvis took most of the # 1 song's he sung were from other's that couldn't break the top 10.
His delivery / stage presence was such that people flocked to him. I brought my mom's to see Elvis in filthadelpia.
It was one of the greatest show's i ever seen. He was magical. Is all...
At the time all my friends wanted to see rock band's . Clapton/ who / zeplin / skynrd. I didn't tell them i got tickets to see Elvis. I snuck out to see him with mom.. She loved the show . he was one of her favorite...
@@56doowopdave
Yes, Lieber/Stoller wrote it for Big Mamma Thornton, but Elvis' version is completley different from hers. In fact he based it on that of Freddie Bell and the Bellboys, he heard them play it in Las Vegas.
Scotty was legendary and very influential in forming the early rockabilly sound.
Fil, I would love for you to try and demonstrate Scotty's signature rockabilly style of picking rhythm on songs like "Mystery Train". That style is so representative of the classic Elvis Rockabilly sound that Scotty created.
Not to detract from Fil or his excellent content, but that said, there are already a few excellent lessons on Scotty's part in Mystery Train available here on the ol' Yeehaw Tube. First one that springs to mind is Adrian Woodward from the channel anyonecanplayguitar.
Doesn't really matter if one can see Elvis or not.......
The eyes are not what we hear with...
Can't beat the ENERGY felt when listening to Elvis perform and ALOT of that energy comes from Elvis' musicians, so we'll in fact, that one can FEEL it vibrarate from everyone on stage, Elvis' energy reflecting off of Scotty's energy and Scotty's energy reflecting off of Elvis' energy!
I often wondered what the world would have been like if Elvis was never heard...
I often wondered what the world would would have been like if Scotty was never heard...
I often wondered what the world would have been like if Chet Atkins, who was Scotty Moore's idol, would have never been heard...
It is no coincidence that timing of these legends were in the right place at the exact right time and era to witness some of the greatest TALENT the world would ever see!!!
As always, another EXCELLENT video my friend!
Best regards!
true about the eyes
Clever work-around! We remember what they look like! Love Elvis' humor, it really comes through! Red lining on the Fil-Fun-O-Meter!!
And what a babe. Back in the day, you were either a fan of elvis or pat boone. I was definitely in elvis's camp.💜🤘
@@aprils6589
Now You got me humming "Love Letters in the Sands" 😁
@@drewpall2598 Just as long it isn't in one of those walk-in tub pat boone advertises. 🙃😷
I love those old rockabilly guitar licks and even more if on a resonator. Thanks for some coverage of this wonderful sound. That E slide is on many of the other Elvis songs to, much more prominent. Not sure it is an "E" but similar move begins in his "I Beg of You"
One thing everyone seems to fail to acknowledge is Elvis’ wonderful sense of rhythm.
And, it should be clear to all who think that Elvis couldn’t play guitar that in this clip, during his performance, he is reaching for the chords without paying the slightest attention - that kind of muscle-memory does not develope overnight.
Scotty’s use of major and minor pentatonic is wonderfully illustrated during his guitar break on the 1956 studio version of “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” - as you rightly point out: it should never be just a question of playing a bunch of notes!
Wow...this song is older than me , but not by much...was.born in '56..but remember this very well...what a classic... he may have left the building but he is resting in peace at his home at Graceland...but to me Elvis was.known as a singer not a guitarist...and also an idol...my favorite song was and still is The Wonder of You with James Burton playing the guitar solo...I loved it when he said, "play the song James"..... all of Elvis's songs are classics...
Years ago, famous guitarists, such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix and others didn't have many guitarists to influence them, like we have now. I am a fan of these Sun Record artists, including Elvis. Thanks for sharing this analysis video, even if it is blurry. Cheers, Fil! ✌️
So ahead of his time .
Damn dope anyway.
Fil , envy your talent dude !
Love your analysis and music lessons. The sounds took me back to those early days when Elvus woke us up and let us know it was okay to feel and enjoy being young. Great memories. 👍🙂
I love how he broke it down and explained each section. Thoroughly enjoyable xxx
Well at least they let us hear it. I mean, 70 years old and still they hold tight to his image. ELVIS !
Rock on Elvis 4 ever❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've always admired Scotty's phrasing, particularly his distinctive, clever approach to blending of the major and minor scale, and use of swing to tie it all together.
You should analyze Elvis' performance of Too Much on the ed sullivan show next. Scotty did a nice guitar solo.
Glad you got this up so we can hear what you had to say about Elvis. He was quite something. Thanks for doing this. Take care.
I'm learning more and more from these videos! Thanks for breaking them down, and explaining everything.
Love this Fil. Such a good dude, Scotty. Love the breakdown of this. Scotty playing was epic on every song. Great job Fil. Perfection.
Fil who cares when you are looking at Elvis!!! Love him❤️
Scotty Moore is a rock n roll god. Like Les Paul and Chet Akins but in memphis Sir Scotty is royalty. I met mr. Moore in Memphis on his 80 birthday party at Gibson. He is a mentor to many but especially my buddy Brian Setzer. He sure could pick the licks
Moore wasn't a guitar god!! Average at best!
@@freedomfighter7630 top 100 guitarist is average. I’ll take it. He laid the rockabilly Highway Each his own.
I love your smile and very likeable too, love your analysis learning all the time, Elvis a good master of music and song we keep learning and enjoying
As always, you provide splendid and thorough music analyses. Bravo for your analyses of Elvis, Scotty Moore and Elvis' band's performance! I appreciated your description of Scotty's application of techniques in his guitar playing via your providing your playing the rhythm and guitar [in the composition]as well as your explaining how this benefits the overall performance. Just my opinion: I don't know why you put "attempts" in the title because you always nail it...thanks and rock on, Fil!🎸
Thanks Fil...much appreciated
Gotta say I still love Mama Thorton's original much more
Great Analysis as always!
I just love when you analyse Elvis’ abilities and in this case Scotty’s playing as well.
I still smile at my phone watching you smiling...lol
How you recreated what Scotty was playing that was a surprise bonus I wasn’t expecting, I really enjoyed that as well.
In 56-57 Elvis was so young, do you think he may have had a natural ear to hear how good Scotty actually was, to have hired him then & kept him on ?
I will never catch up with all your posts, but happily discover new Elvis related ones consistently. Scotty was awesome! As a failed, wannabe guitarist, I truly enjoy these analyses. Thank you for sharing!
Dad was jealous of Elvis, because Mom always had a crush on him, LOL! Mom would have liked your analysis, just like I do.
My dad is 91 this year. He definitely remembers Elvis. The 1950s had some great music.
@@dwaynewladyka577 - can you make a 91 year old jealous with this Elvis video? 🤣 tell you what, they still feel those emotions! So cute...
My mama loved Elvis, also ...but my daddy like him, too. Daddy just wasn't the jealous type 😂😂 My husband is very jealous, but he likes Elvis 😂
I just found this after watching your Elvis why so popular presentation, Scotty is a huge character in Elvis's career.
Great to hear this dissected and put back together. Nice playing too, guy.
Thanks. That's a terrific 'splain of how musical excellence works. 🖒🤠
Great stuff, Fil. I reckon Scotty's finest moment was 'I Forgot to Remember to Forget' It's like a mandolin technique he used, and the solo part is one of my favourite sounds ever recorded. I'd love to see that get a closer look, sometime.
Bet you could sing it great for fun.I grew up in Memphis I remember being on the tennis courts at 17 when they released Elvis had died.The whole town sorta shut down. My mother was a fan.It took her years later then I finally realized his phenomenal talent. Great video as always!!
That screaming is immortal. Fil, could you make a song that will be based on that words "immortal screaming"?
Loved this! Too bad that Elvis' gorgeous self had to be blurred out 😂😂 You're a great guitarist, Fil. Hope you're having a great weekend 💙
Thanks!
I learned to dance from listening to Elvis Presley songs.
Excellent breakdown. Liked and subbed
Thanks!
Great tribute Phil🥰
Fil….would love to hear you analyze the work of Elvis Presley’s rhythm guitarist, John Wilkinson, especially when he accompanies Elvis on the song “Early Morning Rain”.
Hey Fil! Top notch as always. Elvis wss a consummate performer, like Michael Jackson , the pauses were deliberate. The beginning, I thought they were going to play When you wake up in the morning by CCR. Always love your reactions and narrative. Peace.
Awesome!
Bill's Kay bass was amplified. it had an internal pickup that was attached to the floor peg. It was called an amplified peg... or Ampeg for short.
Was it blurred so we wouldnt be corrupted by seeing his bottom half? I love that chunky 50s guitar sound.
😂
It’s like a question for Generation Z -
“Do you know Elvis?”
“He’s the blurry man?”
“No, not a blurry man”
“You mean the man who plays guitar and makes it sound like popcorn?”
“😳?!””😲!”
“🙈💧”
“Oh no, go watch a Fil video...”
I feel like Scotty gave the G to imply the turnaround, as a pickup point for Elvis to hear where the C would naturally come.
Never looked at "Hound Dog" as a guitar song. It would be of value to isolate Scotty's guitar work and give it a listen. Plenty of Elvis productions where the lead does shine. I go out on a limb and say that 90% of us that want to do it,will be able to "play similar to how Scotty plays" in this song, after 4 years into guitar, some probably earlier. I am not saying "come up with the concept for the riff" but copy what someone else has already done. Fil brings up the "no errors" part. That may take a bit longer.Another lesson that shows us just how much of "playing guitar" is in the right hand. I copy some out of "Marie's the Name" in my practice routine. It is even simpler. I find it hard to figure out which guitarist (lead) is playing for Elvis at times (3 different leads for "Marie's the Name".) Thanks Fil.
Fantastic analysis. Love your videos but I seem to love the Elvis tapes. His vocals are so interesting to learn about. His cry voice etc. I used to say to people. Did you hear that, how can a guy sing and cry at the same time.
Great video, Fil. Scotty was something else. Rumor is he invented power chords LOL?
Great Job Phil . 👍
I remember the day he died. I was at Infant School at the time. The most appalling thing, sadly, was the look on my Mums face when she told one of the other mothers waiting outside the school that he’d died, only to be told “ I couldn’t care less “.
Great analysis as always, Fil. I was hoping that you could have a go at Mick Mars and how he plays with his disability.
This is sooooo cool 😎 !!!!
Really good breakdown again, wish I could play guitar😉
One of Elvis many talents was that he was a really great music composer, would be cool if you did a breakdown of his 73 American trilogy, it's rated the most liked live performance by the fans as well
Elvis didn't compose/compile the Trilogy.
@@TheOriginalRickhe was executive producer and director, he arranged every song and instrumental performance.
Another tall order BUT my Brother Fil will triumph.
Scotty had the all round great sound, Rockabilly, country, single pick doublestop . Certainly a huge influence on countless axemen over the years. Like I said once before, even S. R. V. was "All Shook Up" with Scotty's sound.! At the beginning of his solo here Fil, I thought it was an isolation. Sure made it stand out! Good you point out these pioneers of the rock gitfiddle Fil, most folks don't know about some of them. You've covered Scotty before, also Merle Travis etc . Good job Fil. Love your comment about the audience liking you. Ha. I heard ya starting to crack. Ha. I've also seen your video where Fil had a Mom made sandwich before the audition. ( Jimi would ask : Are you experienced? "). Well I'm still circling the block folks.
Thanks So much Fil and a good time to say I bet you KNOW why I call you brother!!
Great show again Bro!
P. S. I saw a low quality, faded picture the other day, totally forgetfull until you see who the 2 guys togather are.
..... Albert Collins + Rory Gallagher!!!!
Ooooowwwweeeee!!!! The Iceman with an Irishman!!!! LOVE IT!!!!
I love watching Fil watching the video and smiling. 👍
Think about this that was the beginning of rock and roll i think Scotty was winging it lol... Learning on the fly.. you and many others have had a chance to refine your craft and skill
Could Elvis hear himself singing over the screaming? ☺
I remember watching the Beatles on the ES show with my grandmother, and she said she thought she might like their music, but she wished the girls would stop screaming so she could hear them better LOL
There is a lot to learn by the 50s and 60s guitarists. Lots of cool rhythms and semi bass lines in there along with the chords.
Great analysis. Very interesting to see this stuff from the birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Listening to the original by Big Mama Thornton was wondering about how this blues was blended. Is it with Rockabilly, as with Blue Moon of Kentucky (just the other way round)?
Well explained as usual fair play
Elvis looks like a feathery bird covered with foam. That was kind-a fun to watch.
Another outstanding video Fil!
On another note I can totally see why it had to be blurred out. Elvis was so raunchy and by today's standards he would cause so much ruckus for his blatant sexuality and his pushing the limits as far as he did in this performance. Lady Gaga, Madonna, and a host of other entertainers look so tame compared to Elvis in this 1956 clip. And considering RUclips and the tameness of a lot of content creators that wear so much clothing that there is no sex appeal. This video of Elvis should be removed more than just blurred out.
Seriously though I love your analysis videos especially the ones on Elvis and other entertainers that you show which expands my musical tastes. Thanks so much, Fil.
Exactly....lol 🤭
The best part of your video is your face expressions!
Thanks Fil
Great breakdown . Different than the record where Scotty puts in that little lick if I recall after the second Hound Dog - did dump - just two intervals .
I’m sure you noticed the difference between how James Burton played on a telecaster within a year of this . James was so far ahead of his time. I think James solo on Hello Mary Lou where you could hear the bends on the strings ,and the great way he used arpeggios in that solo. He pulled it all out on that solo.
There is a video out there somewhere of James talking about his time with the Nelson family ,and using a banjo string for his high E string .
He was I think 19 at the time Ozzie ,and Harriet was being filmed ,lived with their family in real life, but got homesick and went back to Louisiana until Oz made him a deal to come back. Sorry for hijacking your great breakdown here ,but when it gets into the recording studio with Rick they have interviews with guys that worked at the studio. They talk about how they recorded everything pretty much live on a three track I think ( maybe wrongly ) .
That video would be right up your alley .
As always love your takes on these songs from I’m sure we’re long before you were born. That’s a huge credit to you …
Fil is an honorary Blue Moon Boy !
Elvis live on the ed Sullivan show October 28 1956
I'm glad you decided to do this one bill I really am Amy Polo you get a started
I know why they blocked the visuals.
Having Elvis and Fil on screen together would have broken the algorithm.
I used to know a guy who looked like Elvis. He had two little dashunds so I named them Chuwie (Chewbacca) & Caramel. It was just a joke but he named his little dogs as such. His girlfriend dumped him after serving time in the military. As long as he had his two babies (chewier and caramel) he was going to be okay. 😄😁 Elvis reminds me of him. He was such a nice person. 🥲
Now I understand why Elton John calls “Houndog” the perfect song.
Scotty is so underrated.
@AJ Porter On Pluto perhaps, not on this planet.
Elvis’ version of Hound Dog came to mind the first time I heard the Beatles sing “Got to Get You into My Life.” Partially, I think because they both build to a crescendo of musical instruments toward the end of the song.
Odd comparison but I hear it now 🤔 :o
Scotty Moore was my (unofficial and unwitting) rock'n'roll guitar tutor. If you want to hear a more "modern" solo which is archetypal Scotty Moore, listen to the opening intro solo to "Paradise by Dashboard Light" on Bat Out Of Hell. I don't know who the guitarist was, but he played it Scotty Moore style!
Hate to add a comment, I seem to attract haters, but have been a Elvis/Scotty fan forever. would like to point out that nearly everytime they played this live the solo was a little different. (and the record version took 40 takes before Elvis was happy with it) Maybe Scotty "winged it" more than analyzed it! another thing that's impossible to tell from the censored video is the amp. I think at this period Scotty was still using the Butt's Echosonic tape delay amp. (I've spoken to the guitologist, Five watt and "uncle Doug" and nobody want's to do a profile on this groundbreaking amp) The sound of that amp alone changes the whole game! I suppose I've said enough to cause a fight, so I'll let it be except to add you have a beautiful smile. I look like that when I listen to Elvis too! :)
