That's All Right - Elvis Presley - Acoustic Guitar Cover

This was Elvis Presley's first single in Sun Records. Recorded and released in 1954, it was a rockabilly cover of a blues record made by Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup in 1946.
Elvis's original key of A is too high for my singing range, so I've transposed the song down to F# (playing in E with my capo on the 2nd fret). The chords are just E, E7, A and B7, although I'm playing a chord riff on the E that imitates Scotty Moore's guitar part on Elvis's recording of 'Mystery Train. This rockabilly classic can be found in my 'Hot Rockin' Hundred' rock 'n' roll / rockabilly songbook, which is available from Amazon (in paperback) and from Lulu.com (in coilbound, paperback and eBook (pdf) formats).
If you'd like to learn this one or strum along with me, a song sheet containing the lyrics and chords I use can be viewed or downloaded from my songbook blog here:

Thanks very much mate! Yeah, I like playing this one on uke.

Great video Jess. I was awake here at 5:10 am and found it by chance. I learn a lot by your playing rockabilly on the acoustic guitar. Your singing is also top notch.

@@RocknRollSongbook I got up to use the B.R. and then watched your video. Always a treat. I learn something new everytime.

Love the way you play and sing the 50's, what a pain I am I would love to hear you do some 60's British songs with that style of yours, "Here Comes My Baby" ETC,

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Thanks very much! I have another acoustic guitar channel where you'll find my versions of 1960s British (and American) songs ...and lots of other stuff too. Here's a link: www.youtube.com/@JezsAcousticGuitarSongbook

[@msherer260]

How in heck did I miss this, Love it, just spent over an hour listen to you on that channel, it is on my desk top now so I can find it again. Already copying some of you style as I am getting to the point the fingers don't want no fancy stuff anymore. Thank You.

Splendid! To me the music Elvis played for Sun Records is the best he ever made

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Thanks very much Oliver! I agree. I love those Sun recordings.

[@hacenramadane]

But where is the solo?

[@RocknRollSongbook]

@@hacenramadane I left that out, as it would sound a little thin and empty without other instruments backing me up. Sometimes it’s necessary to modify song arrangements when playing solo. 👍

[@rolfberger4243]

Great rocking sound. Rockabilly forever👍

Thanks very much Rolf!
