Such a great song , simple chords and great rhythm, I feel the same as you ,one of my all time favourites and Scotty Moore is one of the best.

Hey Mat - I agree with you this is one of the best Elvis/Scotty performances. I was lucky enough as a young rocker to be introduced to it around 1956 by a neighbour who gave it to me on a RCA 45rpm import - it blew my mind. Playing the Sun sessions on iTunes today(5*) I was inspired to investigate Scotty's playing on the track and found your channel. Nice explanation and demo - thanks.

Is this similar to how Arthur big boy crudup did it? I want to learn his version but can’t find anything on it

[@mattdwyerbluesandrootsguit683]

Hey Tommy, Elvis' version was wildly different to Crudup's version. It's an interesting experiment to listen to Elvis' sun sessions then go back to the original. Elvis had a way of making songs his own, since he started til he died. And quite often Elvis' reinterpretation of a song becomes my favourite.

@@mattdwyerbluesandrootsguit683 I heard Arthur plays in crossnote tuning a lot. Which I’m clueless about. So I’m looking forward to trying this one.

[@mattdwyerbluesandrootsguit683]

@@tgipson20 I'll have to do some research.

Elvis did not record this at Sun. It was recorded on 30 January 1956 at RCA New York after he had left Sun.
