"sit down and watch a movie... build that muscle memory" man I wish someone told me that long ago... I have wasted so much time with mindless entertainment when I could have been productive at the same time. I just never put the two together. Great advice man, you just earned a sub.
SCOTT WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE FOR 30 PLUS YEARS, & PURCHASED HIS RECORDING STUDIO IN NASHVILLE IN 1991, & MY SISTER MANAGED FOR 7 PLUS YEARS. I PARTICIPATED IN HIS FUNERAL IN HUMBOLDT TENN. I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER HONEST FRIEND!!!
I am curious … did his playing ability lessen as he aged … and … if so … how did he deal with it? I notice it with myself at 74 and it bums me out. I’m just not able to do what I used to do without thinking
Rob, thank you so much for showing the details of that series of licks! That's exactly what I like playing. The quick fingerpicking and muted bass, along with the reverb, makes it sound so catchy! I WILL learn this and play it as well as you! The very first song I ever learned, I mean the only notes I could play (initially), was a version of Led Zeppelin's "Braun 'y' aur" (I know I didn't spell that correctly) on one of their early albums. I worked on it until I had every note, then I practiced or over & over (I was 17 y.o., lol) until I could really ring the notes together! My friends would watch & listen in amazement when I played it (after I got good). It was so satisfying to play, and I'm sure it ended up being "my version" after awhile. Anyway, I'm getting back to playing after a 30 year hiatus, and looking for new material. This will be a good one to learn. Thanks again!
Hey friends, are you ready to take your playing to the next level? Then be sure to check out my massive library of lessons, tabs, chord sheets, and backing tracks at Patreon.com/swiftlessons. Thanks for the support! -Rob
Cool video, I play this in the key of E so the chords I use are E, A7, B7, but I can’t work out the lead part for this, maybe you could do a video that shows it in different keys 🙂
Hey Swift, I got a question and out of all the music youtubers I watch, I feel like you could answer it best. Its more of a request actually.. What is up with the relationship between A minor and F major? Why do those two chords sound good in a progression? I've tried to read up on it but I haven't found a solid answer, just stuff about mediant chords and whatnot. Thanks for everything, and if it suits you, I think a video exploring this idea would be amazing. Happy pickin
Hey again! Quick question, if you have already done a tut on this please just point me in that direction but... in a 1-4-5 prog, why a D9 ? How did he come to a D9 there? A "normal" 1-4-5 would be A D E, the D9 has kinda thrown me for a spin :) Thanks!
Actually, Merle Travis’s playing career began in 1936, about 5 years before Chet got his start. Merle was also the first among the two to release a full length record.

50s is one of my favorites. Practically all of the 50s Elvis songs with Scotty are my favorites. Thank you!
Absolutely awesome! Thank you Rob for this legendary solo! 🎶🎶🎶
This is pure magic. Thank you Rob, hope you and yours are doing well! 🤠
Super good video! Particularly love the amajor third walk up. Very clear and helpful. Thanks.
What a musical genius scotty Moore was. And another great lesson swifty
The king comes alive in this Swiflessons tutorial. Well done Rob.
You give a great lesson. Loved Elvis and all the boys! To see the solo right there explained precisely -Thanks Swift Lessons
I really liked how you explained the construction and thinking behind the solo... more of that ,please! :)
Thank you for this Rob, I've been playing it wrong for fifty years.😁
Compelled to reply after watching this excellent and instructive lesson. Love your enthusiasm bro.

I noticed that on the first few intro notes it seems easier to use the thumb on the E string to transition after to the slide in chords
I'm hearing some Roy Clark...
Makes me think of "Mama Tried" by Merle Haggard😊
Edit: Maybe Workin Man Blues solo😊
Nice sir
Do you have a tutorial for the first part of the song (the electric guitar rhythm)?
What are you using to get the tone? Besides reverb? Thanks man for all that you do !
Cool dc
😁
Doesn’t he use a thumb pick and a plectrum?
👌👏👏👏👏🤝
Sir. That's Chet Atkins picking,Travis came later.

The tab is huge. Mucho thanks. I should do More, but what can I say ? I’m a bitch
