  • Elvis guitarist, Scotty Moore, takes you through how to play the early King's classics. Rock critic Dave Marsh credits Moore with inventing power chords on the 1957 Presley song "Jailhouse Rock." Moore was ranked 29th in Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. Rolling Stones' lead guitarist Keith Richards said of Moore, "Everyone else wanted to be Elvis, I wanted to be Scotty."

      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

    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.

Same with Aron ! Aron from the Bible ! The old group with Bill Black and Scotty More Was great Then Vernon signed the Contract with out Elvis and his mom's beeing present !
      Parcker promised if Vernon would hurry up and signed the life time contract and agree to 50% cut on every dollar Elvis braught in ! Elvis never would have agreed ! To that ! Vernon knew this ! 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 !
      He already asked her Dad And Her Dad maide Elvis promise to wait for a few years ! Because she and Elvis just really started touring the Southern areas ! And they were still very young ! So the your was over she got a call her mom was I'll! Come home ,. She and her Dad headed to Oklahoma City! Elvis wanted to tell his Moma all his plans for Marrieing Wanda ! She loved Wanda very mutch and was realy happy ! Parcker showed up . Vernon already signed him up day before ! Vernon refused to let Elvis go see or call Wanda ! And rules Parcker layed down ! We're forbidding Elvis to date Wanda she would be big Compatition! Broke two hearts for Vernon's and parckers lousy greed . She's the girl now lady that the song about . Wear my ring arround your kneck . was written about ! She was titteled first Queen
      Of Rocka Billy and Rocken Roll ! Elvis on stage with Wanda was crownend King and Queen Of Rocka Billy and Rocken Roll ! That was the duo ! And Elvis his self also started out performing as a Impersonator of many country And Pop Rocken Roll Stars ! He gave Wanda his heart and his Class Ring on a chain to wear arround her kneck ! And she still has it ! And the Ring box he put it in

    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.

    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

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."

    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.

    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 .

    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)👍👵🇭🇲

    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!
