l' Ame du blues qui déboule dans son corps et dans ces doigts dans sa guitare quelle merveilleuse et importante rencontre avec Elvis pour nous tous ils nous ont libéré
I met Scotty Moore three times in the U.K. when he was touring. One thing that impressed me (apart from his wonderful playing and tone!) is that, when the gig finished, he stayed on the stage, cleaned his guitar strings with a duster, put it carefully in its case, then unplugged his amp (he was playing through a Peavey valve/tube combo at the time) and put the cover on it before going off stage. No guitar tech or roadie, despite his legendary status! A courteous, modest, very friendly and hugely talented gentleman.
When you're playing his guitars that that even if they weren't the fact that they were his guitars they would be worth over 20 grand. He has every one of his guitars he's ever owned. I got to see his collection of guitars one time and it was pretty impressive
Jochen Hansen Not necessarily! Michael Bloomfield was one of the greatest electric guitarists ever and he didn’t bother looking after his guitars. His Uncle owned a pawn shop in Chicago and he could access them easily.
Scotty I've been following you lately and I remember you in Jailhouse Rock and I got you know little more about your and I remember you and King Creole and probably there's some other boobies with those are the two that come to mind I also got to see the Michael st. Gerard betraying Elvis and I think if he actor that portrayed you brought out the best in your character you were diligent and I will always appreciate your music with Elvis I was raised to Vicksburg Mississippi and I was a child remembering the girls going crazy over this man that later I found out was Elvis even though I was a teenager when the Beatles came they never impacted me the way Elvis and your music has thank you for your artistry love for life and now lives in California
@@southernpride2003 What about those “Twangy” pick ups you can buy? And is there difference with Echo or Delay pedals? And will you get that twangy sound from a Strat with those pedals?

Parcker also told Vernon Vernon would never have to lift a finger to work again ! That is the real reason Vernon. Only had his own selfish reasons . For signing his sons life away to control of Parcker greed both cons! Elvis was planing on Marrieing a beautiful country and Like him a Rocka Billy Artist Wanda Jackson !

And she still has it ! And the Ring box he put it in To give to her !
RIP Scotty and thank you for the excellent music you brought to us all....That's All Right Mama, Don't be cruel, Heartbreak Hotel and so many many more. I still listen to the early recordings almost on a daily basis and it makes me feel like I am young and alive as my feet move to the beat and the sounds of your guitar light up the day. Thanks again from a real fan.
This is great! Scotty Moore is a living history of what happened at Sun Records I'm so glad he is doing this reminiscing as to what happened back then. Thank You Scotty.
That's one fancy guitar he's holding!But I actually didn't know Scotty M. was with Elvis before there even was an Elvis!One of the most interesting interviews I've ever seen!
THIS MAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING THE SPICE ON ELVIS’S RECORDS , HE KILLS ME WITH THAT JAPAN TIN CAN GUITAR 🎸 COMMENT !!! WHAT I LOVE ABOUT ALL THESE GUYS SCOTTY , BILL , ELVIS , DJ WERE LOYAL TO EACH OTHER !!! A GROUP OF GUYS THAT CAME TOGETHER BECAUSE OF SAM & SCOTTY’S DISCOVERY, MAY GOD REST THEIR SOULS !!!
That guitar is beautiful! Just watching this man talk and smile in a humble kind warm egoless way while thinking to myself, this man is the reason every guitarist out there since 1956 exist. Thank you Scotty and those world changing fingers and tempo defining picks and licks that breathed life into music. Before Scotty there was music. After Scotty there was rock and roll, rock, metal and every god damn genre we have known since. There's not enough gratitude in the world to the thank you we owe this legend.
Im so Lucky to have sent off and received the signed pictures of Scotty whilst he was still alive, God Bless. Just getting back into my playing and really looking into all the greats.
Here's the MAN started me on the long guitar road. I guess I was about 10 years old when I first heard Scotty's astonishing solo's on 'Hounddog'. Two solo's in about a 1:50 minute song??? Unheard of before then. Blew me away. From that day on, I wanted to play guitar. What an inspiration. RIP Scotty. You're wonderful legacy lives on.
I didn't know he passed 🙏 I'm an old gran who only discovered RUclips in recent months, awh, bless him RIP 🙏 This video more special than I thought. I have always admired those with musical ability, when one isn't gifted the appreciation of creating something that changes people's lives by listening, I take my hat of to all the greats and also the greats such as yourself 👍 if I could make music I'd do it constantly!!!
This is cool. A person that was the key in rock history. He must have seen things that no one ever seen or known about rock history. The Beginning of Rock.
Was lucky enough to meet Scotty and DJ Fontana during the 50 year celebration of the release of That's All Right held at Sun Studios in 2004. Elderly gentleman needed assistance to get into the studio and I volunteered. While waiting to get in, he told me he was DW Poindexter, the original singer in the Wranglers before Elvis took over. Got inside, DW introduced me and I shook Scotty's hand, then I watched he and DW talk for about an hour. Reminiscing, asking how each others families were, etc. I just absorbed the moment, being in that studio with Scotty 50 years to the day, couldn't believe it. At the end I asked him for a picture and he politely agreed, as did DJ the day before when I met him in front of the Studio. Though DJ talked to me for a long time, telling me stories from their '50's days touring. It was an incredible experience and I still got my pictures lol.
Met him, and was able to get his autograph,and also was lucky to watch him perform.For his performance/show his bassist was the player for the Stray Cats. A true Southern Gentleman .Great show! RIP
He took the blues years ,n turned them into rock n roll years,god bless this man,,im a 50 old metal head,,but even i no what this man has done for rock n roll,,
I find it interesting as a social experiment that people who think themselves musicians and artists seek out a page like this, watch the video--and make stupid, foolish remarks about the musicians and artists in the videos. I mean, WTF.
This shows you the mentality of some of our youth now-a-days............I grew up in the '50s-'60s and that is where the "real music" is......BUT some of the little peons in this generation think that loud/trashy music is the way to go..........
Downvoted for deceptive and click bait title. “How to play that’s all right mama on guitar with Scotty Moore” led me to believe he would be going through the lesson himself. The history was awesome but the instructor left a bit to be desired.
OMG! Scotty Moore and professional guitarists like him make that look so EFFORTLESS, but the actual skill & talent required to make those beautiful melodies is astounding! That guitar sound of 50’s Elvis is uniquely Scotty Moore! What a legendary talent he was! I’m a little envious of my Mom’s generation who were teens during that time period and got to live through the inception of this incredible music! Whatta time to be alive and be a teenager enjoying this music!
Invaluable video record of one of rock's founding guitar heroes. Thankfully future generations can be inspired by his magnificent playing through his recordings and historical documents like this. 🎸👍
Scotty made it sound like he was playing two guitars at once. Watching this video gave me a newer appreciation for Scotty and all guitar players. It was like Chinese math to me, I could never do it. Amazing
That is the "slap back" effect, which is slight delay of original signal mixed with original, sort of a doubling of sound source and a delay effect at same time, which Scotty describes @32:30
@@zdogg8 Yeah, I think he used a certain amp to achieve a certain sound. James Burton tells of some guys hanging out and jamming. He tried to get Scotty to play and he kept saying no, then finally Scotty went to the car and got his amp and joined in. James almost seemed dismissive, like Scotty needed a gimmick amp. Scotty may not have been the best, but he helped create a sound and was influential and a legend.
@@dennydeckerful Yes, he goes on to then discuss the amp he bought to replicate the above described studio slap-back effect, in both cases produced with the help of magnetic recording tape, in the case of the amp, an adjustable tape on a loop inside the amp cabinet itself. It was sort of a rare and/or custom product, sounds like it anyway, as per Scotty's description. That same type effect appeared in the late sixties, I believe, in the form of a stand-alone "Echoplex" effect unit, a favorite of guitarists. I don't believe in looking for chinks in the armor of musicians, generally, especially legends, especially if their legendary status is well-deserved. That comment by JB fall into the category of tacky, IMHO. Colonel Parker broke up the Elvis/Scotty/Black/Fontana group, aka "Blue Moon Boys." Movies were his priority, and as most of us know, the concerizing Elvis was place on the shelf, thus, no need for that band.JB would not be in the picture, otherwise. I know most reading this already know, but just for the record.
I used to listen to Elvis' early recordings all the time, day in, day out. I used to think that Scotty's guitar solos were easy, until I tried to play them. Then, I discovered that they were actually very difficult to play indeed. And every guitar player worth a damn - from Clapton to Richards to Townshend to Knopfler - all of them expound the highest respect for Scotty - not one of them says, oh, they were too easy. Not one. So, Scotty Moore's place on the top of the highest echelons of rock guitarists is well-earned. SIDE TRIVIA: I saw Scotty live at the Jazz Café in London in August 2005, and he said not one word to the audience; his wife came on stage to do it. As he left the stage and started to go up the stairs to his dressing room, I said, Thank you, Scotty, and we shook hands. A great claim to fame for me, and one of the half dozen moments I shall treasure. x
Watching the master give a demo/tutorial and tell us about his early experiences :). We are so so, so, lucky to have this on video, and so, so, so, lucky for his generous time to walk us through it all. There will never be another Elvis, Scotty or Bill Black. The three of them together made magic together as no other could have. It was meant to be.
He didn't discover elvis. That's why he can't remember what he said. Sam Phillips discovered elvis and then introduced scotty to him. elvis had already cut one album with Phillips before Scotty met him
Chris Monk he was the biggest influence on my friend, Duff Dorrough. Duff played him in the 1980s film, Heart of Dixie. If you haven’t heard of him, look for his RUclips videos. Not all of his music is rockabilly. RIP Duff.
no matter what stories you hear about how it all started you can be sure pound for pound this isthe actual way it happened. Thanks Scotty... God bless you !!
Scotty is an absolute legend and has been a catalyst for the style to be a huge part of Elvis success and many others! 😘 Great documentary Scotty better be in the Hall of Fame! Lmk
One of the coolest afternoons of my life. I got to spend with Scotty Moore. We both were from the same county in west Tennessee. We talked and talked. Some of the same stuff in this interview. Some of it about other stuff. He is one of my guitar heroes, and always will be. Besides all the other stuff. He was just a really nice man. I'll never forget it.
Scotty and Cliff Gallup were the Godfathers of rockabilly. Parker never did understand that it was not just Elvis' voice, it was Scotty's licks and solos that made the hits. The best music Elvis ever did was with the Blue Moon boys. They were treated abysmally but Scotty was never bitter.
James Milton I agree he's a gentleman and has never said publicly what he could have about how he and other musicians of the time were treated. But he may have been bitter privately. It's good he did get a lot of public recognition later on, like the Rolling Stone list and so forth. I know those lists weren't liked by many but there were some greats on them.
Well, he was somewhat bitter as revealed in his bio/autobiography. He was ready to continue on but he and the Blue Moon Boys were eventually replaced by studio aces. Scotty was especially miffed when he was put on a modest salary for live gigs rather than splitting the take like they did before.
@@genebrenner855 Imo, they had reason to be upset. Their deal with Elvis was that he got 50% and Moore and Black got 25% each. All three hired Fontana for a flat $100/week, which came from the other three's parts like the other expenses. Fontana said he wasn't upset because he didn't have the same deal as Moore and Black, but that those two rightfully should have gotten much, much more money when Elvis became famous. It was Parker, not Elvis, that ditched them.
Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, bringing back those memories of one of the best records ever made! Few people today can imagine the impact Elvis' record made.
The legendary Scotty Moore!!! This is where rock n' roll started... He created the sound The real story right from the man who was there from the start He helped change the world forever - a true American original!
Wow you're awesome! I'm 60 and bought myself a guitar a couple of years ago. Always wanted to play, never learnt but I just wanna learn this song as the original I've listened to so much, I love the early Elvis, but Elvis was mum's idol she even had a letter from him when she was 16, and I've grown up with his music and you knew him!! That just blows my mind Sir 🙏 My and mum's lottery win dream was to go to Vegas and she could maybe show him her letter as it stated things people didn't know about Elvis back then. Well dear Irish Mum's to frail now at 80+ and Graceland became our dream when he passed. It's still on top of my bucket list! I'd still be a silly star struck woman of 60 odd if I met you, God bless you and thank you. By the way I like to believe Pastor Bob Joyce is Elvis and I have him on that list too, I might be wrong but I like to think Elvis hadn't passed ( Mum too, but she doesn't think the lovely pastor is)👍👵🇭🇲
Thanks Scotty for being an important part in the development of Elvis Presley and Rock and Roll _____Pioneers like you changed the Music Of The World and gave us many more choices in Genres Thank You So Much
Ohhh man Scotty’s story of how he got to meet Elvis Presley totally blew my mind out .... I don’t think anyone would’ve had any idea that that was one of the most important moments in our history just on the making ... I can’t think of anything as big as Elvis ever since Jesus left the building ... I read that Carl Perkins was playing around fusing this rhythms reading the people’s reactions on what he’d played , in which was the Rock’n’Roll taking its natural shape in Jamboree sharing knowledge among the artist that performed there like Elvis , Hank Williams, Johnny Cash , then Carl send a tape to NY they answered back that “this rhythm is too rural , there is no market for this type of music outside Southern states “ .... Man that rhythm had market outside the orbits of earth , they even send Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Good to the space .... electrifying sound like nothing else I can tell ya .
The Legendary Scotty Moore. This is priceless! He plays so effortlessly that he makes it look so easy but that’s only because it appears that it came naturally to him. He didn’t appear to need to practice or anything. The notes just flowed from his fingertips and the phrasing was all his. Definitely a country picker but he also had a free flowing style that almost sounded jazz like. Brilliant player! His playing stood out on the Sun Sessions! Jimmy Page was a big fan and so was Keith Richards. One of the Rock Pioneers along with Chuck Berry and James Burton. Thank God he sat down for this interview to give his personal account of the early days of Elvis career. As great as Elvis’s singing was, it was Scotty Moore’s playing that made those records great! They complimented each other so well! And in the beginning, they called it Jump Blues. Which meant danceable Rhythm and Blues, not slow blues. And Little Richard said there was no such thing as Rock n Roll. He called it Fast R&B! Maybe his music was exactly that but Chuck Berry was definitely Rock n Roll music! And early Sun by Elvis, Scotty and Bill was called Rockabilly originally. God Bless the Original Rock Pioneers! The gave the World 🌎 a Musical Revolution That changed the World 🌍. Along with Buddy Holly. Then the Beatles came along who were heavily influenced by Buddy Holly, Berry, little Richard and Elvis. And they were the second Wave and Revolution and changed the world 🌎 again! John Lennon once said before Elvis there was Nothing!
Captivating! Once I began watching, I had to watch it entirely to the end! Entertaining, and Instructional! Less is Moore! Scotty Moore! Thanks for the instruction at the end! 👍🎸✌️😎
Hearing Scotty Moore is golden. The man behind the King. If I'm going to learn "That's Alright Moma", I'm going to learn it from the man himself.God Bless, Sir. Thank you and may you Rest In Peace.
mister scotty moore, you are the best in town. thank you so much . keep moving , keep going . we love you. i love this story so much. Huub ,from the netherlands.
It's not difficult remembering what happened 60 years ago; it's remembering what you had for breakfast this morning, or where you live that's the problem...
Lightnin Hopkins he probably talks about these times every couple days...he dont have to remember, cause' all the Memphis guys haven't had a chance to forget.... "I was there when it happened, saw Memphis give birth to rock and roll"! God bless them!
That was so easy to watch all the way through. What a great video this is. Informative, revealing and his wonderful temperament shines through. I agree, such a humble man for such a huge star. 🙂 RIP
Imagine having been part of the 3 guys that made the recording that launched Elvis' career and wrote rock & roll history.
L E G E N D.
His riffs emerged at the beginning of rock and roll. He is a true legend.
The Great Scotty Moore...

@@biggusdickus9240 Why bringing that issue up here?
To be a famous talented musician and stay so humble and down to earth is a mark of greatness
I like how he nonchalantly rips on the riff, and says "that's all there is to it". What a humble man.
Because he stole it. You are all idiots.

The man was a musical pioneer and one of the best guitar players to ever live.

Scotty's"ECHO"effect was the backbone of the early elvis songs/tunes.Scotty is a"NATIONAL TREASURE".

Scotty made it sound like he was playing two guitars at once. Watching this video gave me a newer appreciation for Scotty and all guitar players. It was like Chinese math to me, I could never do it. Amazing
That is the "slap back" effect, which is slight delay of original signal mixed with original, sort of a doubling of sound source and a delay effect at same time, which Scotty describes @32:30
@@zdogg8 Yeah, I think he used a certain amp to achieve a certain sound. James Burton tells of some guys hanging out and jamming. He tried to get Scotty to play and he kept saying no, then finally Scotty went to the car and got his amp and joined in. James almost seemed dismissive, like Scotty needed a gimmick amp. Scotty may not have been the best, but he helped create a sound and was influential and a legend.
@@dennydeckerful Yes, he goes on to then discuss the amp he bought to replicate the above described studio slap-back effect, in both cases produced with the help of magnetic recording tape, in the case of the amp, an adjustable tape on a loop inside the amp cabinet itself. It was sort of a rare and/or custom product, sounds like it anyway, as per Scotty's description. That same type effect appeared in the late sixties, I believe, in the form of a stand-alone "Echoplex" effect unit, a favorite of guitarists.
I don't believe in looking for chinks in the armor of musicians, generally, especially legends, especially if their legendary status is well-deserved. That comment by JB fall into the category of tacky, IMHO.
Colonel Parker broke up the Elvis/Scotty/Black/Fontana group, aka "Blue Moon Boys." Movies were his priority, and as most of us know, the concerizing Elvis was place on the shelf, thus, no need for that band.JB would not be in the picture, otherwise. I know most reading this already know, but just for the record.
His fingers are the tone ... I miss him. RIP Scotty Moore
What an absolute legend. We are so lucky to have access to this kind of stuff
I used to listen to Elvis' early recordings all the time, day in, day out. I used to think that Scotty's guitar solos were easy, until I tried to play them. Then, I discovered that they were actually very difficult to play indeed. And every guitar player worth a damn - from Clapton to Richards to Townshend to Knopfler - all of them expound the highest respect for Scotty - not one of them says, oh, they were too easy. Not one. So, Scotty Moore's place on the top of the highest echelons of rock guitarists is well-earned. SIDE TRIVIA: I saw Scotty live at the Jazz Café in London in August 2005, and he said not one word to the audience; his wife came on stage to do it. As he left the stage and started to go up the stairs to his dressing room, I said, Thank you, Scotty, and we shook hands. A great claim to fame for me, and one of the half dozen moments I shall treasure. x
What a legend .Scotty made the Elvis sound. God bless him. I wish i could have met him
Watching the master give a demo/tutorial and tell us about his early experiences :). We are so so, so, lucky to have this on video, and so, so, so, lucky for his generous time to walk us through it all. There will never be another Elvis, Scotty or Bill Black. The three of them together made magic together as no other could have. It was meant to be.
I Love This. Thank You. These Men Were Real Music. Took MUCH TALENT.
Scotty I have so much respect for your skill and genius as a guitarist. Definitely something to aspire to!!
RIP Scotty
A big thank you. Now I can learn this correctly after 50 years of faking it 😍
HE IS TALKING ABOUT DISCOVERING ELVIS. AND HE SAYS "I DONT REMEBER WHAT I SAID '. WOW THATS CRAZY COOL. THANX SCOTTY FOR BRINGIN US ELVIS.
He didn't discover elvis. That's why he can't remember what he said. Sam Phillips discovered elvis and then introduced scotty to him. elvis had already cut one album with Phillips before Scotty met him
@@VAHOSS What album would that be? Scooty and Bill are on the first records Elvis did at Sun.
A humble Genius
The most humble rock legend. Absolutely no ego detected.
Millions thanks for who every put this up,,,this is Golden,,,,RIP Scotty
the man was at GROUND ZERO for American ROCKnROLL. What a storybook era and life!!!
I love hearing these stories... Rock n' Roll History
Chris Monk he was the biggest influence on my friend, Duff Dorrough. Duff played him in the 1980s film, Heart of Dixie. If you haven’t heard of him, look for his RUclips videos. Not all of his music is rockabilly. RIP Duff.
no matter what stories you hear about how it all started you can be sure pound for pound this isthe actual way it happened. Thanks Scotty... God bless you !!
Scotty is an absolute legend and has been a catalyst for the style to be a huge part of Elvis success and many others! 😘 Great documentary Scotty better be in the Hall of Fame! Lmk
I`ve always loved Scotty :) Such a wonderful man. R.I.P.
So much of history is told by people or persons, who were never there ! so this video is a real gem , thank you Scotty . RIP
One of the coolest afternoons of my life. I got to spend with Scotty Moore. We both were from the same county in west Tennessee. We talked and talked. Some of the same stuff in this interview. Some of it about other stuff. He is one of my guitar heroes, and always will be. Besides all the other stuff. He was just a really nice man. I'll never forget it.
Scotty and Cliff Gallup were the Godfathers of rockabilly. Parker never did understand that it was not just Elvis' voice, it was Scotty's licks and solos that made the hits. The best music Elvis ever did was with the Blue Moon boys. They were treated abysmally but Scotty was never bitter.
James Milton I agree he's a gentleman and has never said publicly what he could have about how he and other musicians of the time were treated. But he may have been bitter privately. It's good he did get a lot of public recognition later on, like the Rolling Stone list and so forth. I know those lists weren't liked by many but there were some greats on them.
Well, he was somewhat bitter as revealed in his bio/autobiography. He was ready to continue on but he and the Blue Moon Boys were eventually replaced by studio aces. Scotty was especially miffed when he was put on a modest salary for live gigs rather than splitting the take like they did before.
Presley would've been huge no matter what. No disrespect to Scotty.
Gallup was not with Vincent very long - I cannot find any video/film of him playing guitar with the Blue Caps - He was amazing.
@@genebrenner855 Imo, they had reason to be upset. Their deal with Elvis was that he got 50% and Moore and Black got 25% each. All three hired Fontana for a flat $100/week, which came from the other three's parts like the other expenses. Fontana said he wasn't upset because he didn't have the same deal as Moore and Black, but that those two rightfully should have gotten much, much more money when Elvis became famous. It was Parker, not Elvis, that ditched them.
So many rockers owe a debt to Scotty, and they usually admit it . thanks for posting.
Scotty's guitar playing had a big influence on legends such as George Harrison, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore. 👍
If Elvis Presley led a revolution in popular music, Scotty Moore here was one of his field marshals.
I just found this its made my day what a great guitarist he was and down to earth
Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, bringing back those memories of one of the best records ever made!
Few people today can imagine the impact Elvis' record made.
Thank you so much.
That improved my playing this song!
I actually sounded not bad but now i hit the spot.
Greets and best wishes from Germany.
The legendary Scotty Moore!!!
This is where rock n' roll started... He created the sound
The real story right from the man who was there from the start
He helped change the world forever - a true American original!
I love hearing these stories... Rock n' Roll History. Rest In Peace Scotty Moore !
Wow you're awesome! I'm 60 and bought myself a guitar a couple of years ago. Always wanted to play, never learnt but I just wanna learn this song as the original I've listened to so much, I love the early Elvis, but Elvis was mum's idol she even had a letter from him when she was 16, and I've grown up with his music and you knew him!! That just blows my mind Sir 🙏 My and mum's lottery win dream was to go to Vegas and she could maybe show him her letter as it stated things people didn't know about Elvis back then. Well dear Irish Mum's to frail now at 80+ and Graceland became our dream when he passed. It's still on top of my bucket list! I'd still be a silly star struck woman of 60 odd if I met you, God bless you and thank you. By the way I like to believe Pastor Bob Joyce is Elvis and I have him on that list too, I might be wrong but I like to think Elvis hadn't passed ( Mum too, but she doesn't think the lovely pastor is)👍👵🇭🇲
É não é mesmo, sua mãe está mais que certa é só ver a idade que Elvis teria hoje seriam 87 anos e o,pastor não tem absolutamente essa idade…
Thanks Scotty for being an important part in the development of Elvis Presley and Rock and Roll _____Pioneers like you changed the Music Of The World and gave us many more choices in Genres Thank You So Much
What a legend. Love his playing
Ohhh man Scotty’s story of how he got to meet Elvis Presley totally blew my mind out .... I don’t think anyone would’ve had any idea that that was one of the most important moments in our history just on the making ... I can’t think of anything as big as Elvis ever since Jesus left the building ...
I read that Carl Perkins was playing around fusing this rhythms reading the people’s reactions on what he’d played , in which was the Rock’n’Roll taking its natural shape in Jamboree sharing knowledge among the artist that performed there like Elvis , Hank Williams, Johnny Cash , then Carl send a tape to NY they answered back that “this rhythm is too rural , there is no market for this type of music outside Southern states “ ....
Man that rhythm had market outside the orbits of earth , they even send Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Good to the space .... electrifying sound like nothing else I can tell ya .
One of the greats,Thanks Scotty!
When Jeff Beck was inducted into the R&RHoF for the second time, in 2009 for his solo work, he had Scotty at the head table near the stage.
The Legendary Scotty Moore. This is priceless! He plays so effortlessly that he makes it look so easy but that’s only because it appears that it came naturally to him. He didn’t appear to need to practice or anything. The notes just flowed from his fingertips and the phrasing was all his. Definitely a country picker but he also had a free flowing style that almost sounded jazz like. Brilliant player! His playing stood out on the Sun Sessions! Jimmy Page was a big fan and so was Keith Richards. One of the Rock Pioneers along with Chuck Berry and James Burton.
Thank God he sat down for this interview to give his personal account of the early days of Elvis career. As great as Elvis’s singing was, it was Scotty Moore’s playing that made those records great! They complimented each other so well! And in the beginning, they called it Jump Blues. Which meant danceable Rhythm and Blues, not slow blues. And Little Richard said there was no such thing as Rock n Roll. He called it Fast R&B! Maybe his music was exactly that but Chuck Berry was definitely Rock n Roll music! And early Sun by Elvis, Scotty and Bill was called Rockabilly originally.
God Bless the Original Rock Pioneers! The gave the World 🌎 a Musical Revolution That changed the World 🌍. Along with Buddy Holly. Then the Beatles came along who were heavily influenced by Buddy Holly, Berry, little Richard and Elvis. And they were the second Wave and Revolution and changed the world 🌎 again! John Lennon once said before Elvis there was Nothing!
Such a humble charming icon of American music. Thank you Scotty
Scotty had a fabulous sound; we grew up listening to his playing.
The best lesson about this song that I have seen. Thanks.
Sorry, but The Guitar Sage and Justin puts this lesson to shame.
Naturally, as it comes from scotty, the master himself :)
Captivating! Once I began watching, I had to watch it entirely to the end! Entertaining, and Instructional! Less is Moore! Scotty Moore! Thanks for the instruction at the end! 👍🎸✌️😎
Loved this guy! R.I.P. The sound of legends!
WOW! Scotty Moore telling an amazing story! He is one of my guitar heroes!
Rest In Peace Scotty Moore !
Hearing Scotty Moore is golden. The man behind the King. If I'm going to learn "That's Alright Moma", I'm going to learn it from the man himself.God Bless, Sir. Thank you and may you Rest In Peace.
Wow , so happy I found this, Scotty isba legend, all guitar players should listen/watch this legend tell his story
I was expecting a lesson from Scotty, but instead we got a really nice interview of the great man himself, But a lesson from some guy.
Count your blessings, I'd say. Two for the price of one, that's how I see it.
At first sight, just a humble old guy with a guitar. The truth: Rock and Roll Royalty.
I could've listened to this gentleman all day long. RIP
RUclips doesn't stop surprising me. Thanks so much for posting this. Big hug to Scotty Moore!
mister scotty moore, you are the best in town. thank you so much . keep moving , keep going . we love you. i love this story so much. Huub ,from the netherlands.
Wow, that was really something special! Thank You 🙏
I think for an older gentleman he is doing a miraculous job of recalling stuff from so long ago.
1956
It's not difficult remembering what happened 60 years ago; it's remembering what you had for breakfast this morning, or where you live that's the problem...
Lightnin Hopkins he probably talks about these times every couple days...he dont have to remember, cause' all the Memphis guys haven't had a chance to forget....
"I was there when it happened, saw Memphis give birth to rock and roll"! God bless them!
@@Zacharia503 My capacity for remembering old songs far outweighs my ability to remember why I walked into the kitchen....lol
discrimination buster
What an exciting time for music! Never again shall there be such new, unknown,fresh things to experience as once upon this time...
That was so easy to watch all the way through. What a great video this is. Informative, revealing and his wonderful temperament shines through. I agree, such a humble man for such a huge star. 🙂 RIP
Pioneers are always the coolest
Scotty moore is a true guitar rock god. A true legend.
Look at him, look at all that gear. I am sure he recorded a treasure trove for the future. I'd like to hear some of it now.
Thanx Scotty. I owe you and Jimmy P. bigtime. You were/are one of the true greats. We'll all get to play together soon. RIP.
