You are easily, my favourite guitar teacher on the net, and I have watched hundreds.

Now retired after southern rock bar bands (with little craft) for decades & just playing instro surf now for enjoyment. But that has led back to rockabilly, the need for basic technique and wonderful tunes like this one. Thank you for sharing. Many can do, but few can truly teach, and you are doing a fine job at both. (Your approach and civility actually evokes Hank Marvin's gentlemanly way I've heard in informal discussions of his echo & other technique.) Keep having fun; we are certainly beneficiaries.

“...by collapsing the first joint on the third finger” I LOVE IT.👏🏽🙏🏼

Not sure if you heard the news but we lost Scotty Moore yesterday. : ( I heard it on the radio in a 3 second news blip after longer news blips and just before a commercial break. I was like, "Wait, wait, what, no!", and had to look it up online to be sure I'd heard right. He deserves so much more than a 3 second news flash. So many great songs and such a big impact on so many of us who love music. Thanks for helping to keep that great music alive. Be well. Peace.

Played since 1965 and have never had a better teacher or friend passing on information on a song. Very accurate, and guitar tuned and attenuated perfectly. Your a real professional.

I am in total awe of your ability to break this down, explain it clearly, and play it correctly. You are a true professional. Thanks so much for sharing your skill and your talent.

Learning this song was a life changing event and took my playing to another level, after years of seemingly going round in circles. I can now play all those wonderful Travis picked tunes like Dear prudence, Buckets of Rain, Julia, He's a Mighty Good Leader and many more that I thought I would never be able to play in a million years. Thank you so much Adrian for all your hard work, may the heavens rain glorious jewels upon thee! 💯

No matter what style guitar you are playing, you make it look SO... easy. You look so relaxed. I always enjoy you video lessons very much.

Sir, I have recently started on the Travis Style and Mystery Train is my chosen victim. I have studied about every video lesson available, including a couple paid sites, and have gained some progress. BUT without question, your lesson here is the best, clearest, most patient, most organized, best video, and plain best instruction I've found for this tune and the style. Great job. Thank you and I will be seeking more.

You taught me something new. I'm 73 and still learning. Thank you very much Adrian. Loved Scotty's guitar playing since I was a kid. He really is what made Elvis great. Ron from Annapolis MD

I started learning this song last year - it was a long journey having grown up with Elvis as a kid and hating that music most of my life (familiarity breeds contempt) - I finally made it okay to appreciate Scotty and his influence on the likes of Hank, who influenced Gilmour etc. But once I started to try to learn this song I put the guitar down for a year. Turns out this is a really unique approach to the guitar - and like you said - a substantial archetype for rock-and-roll. You do it justice and I might just pick it up again under your inspiration.

Fantastic lesson for one of my favorite Elvis songs with the great Scotty Moore on guitar, thanks.

I love how you explain so much detail. Learning to play is neurolingustic, so the technical helps the brain meld it all into happening. Thank you.

Simply excellent.....I bow to you. My favorite Elvis song when he was 20 years old, and with Bill Black also playing, this is truly, great. Scottie....His best.

a likeable unassuming guitar demon.....from the Banshees to this....frankly inspiring!

Brilliant lesson; as always. Thank you yet again Adrian. You are the quintessence of British gentlemanry and a fine teacher and wonderfully gifted player. My hat off to you Sir!

I really like the way you explain things. Most guys that have been playing a long time forget to explain the little details. Thank you for sharing. Very articulate.

Hi Adrian! Your lesson is by far the best lesson on the song ever!!!!!!

You’re an outstanding teacher my friend!! Cheers from Houston, Texas!

Your teaching is exceptional ... Truly appreciate your gift of teaching !!!

Thanks, Adrian. You get straight to the point and your instruction is lucid. Only KZfaq lessons I have ever had the patience to stick with all the way through.

10 years and a stroke later... Thanks to this lesson, I used to be able to play Mystery Train passably, although I never perfected it. Now after an untold number of neurons have died, I am back again, for a lesson in humility, patience and impermanence. I think Adrian's channel may have had around 1/30th of its current number of subscribers back then. Given the consistently high quality of the channel, it's a mystery to me he hasn't broken 1 million yet. Maybe he doesn't care that much, and authenticity always comes first? Anyway, if he did a couple of collaborations (Eric Haugen, Puisheen, Dave Simpson, That Pedal Show, 60 Cycle Hum, Justin Sandercoe, Jens Larsen are some of the names I think might work) he'd easily double his numbers. If he wanted to. I bet he has been asked and declined a few times.

I as an older guitar player fully appreciate just how authentic this is - producing the relaxed train style feel to it - very good. The best track from the Sun album. I was also emotionally moved that you as a young player felt this was an important song to add to any guitar player's repetoire. This was pioneering stuff that still reverberates around the world - pun intended. I felt the high point of your lesson was the close ups of your right hand.

Excellent teacher and best tutoring on this song. Thank you very much.

Best guitar tutorial I've come across .Thanks for sharing, you make it so simple even I could follow it. Cheers.

Wow. Great playing, great sound, AND great teaching.🎸

This is the best, most well-explained lesson of Mystery Train available in the known universe. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great explanation, excellent resolution, taught slowly enough, sounds great - great playing!

this is the perfect guitar lesson format.....the clip gets right to the music with a nice run through of the piece....then the details, point by point....great stuff...

Thanks a mill for such a thorough lesson. Haven't learnt a tune since my 20's and this has got me hooked on learning more Scotty Morris numbers and that finger picking style. Your lessons have made this lockdowm more bearable so thanks bud. Stay well.

Now this, is probably the best informative/instructive video clip, I have ever seen. Very, very well done. Kudos to you and keep up the good work!

Best Mystery Train lesson you will ever find, thanks for the good work!

You are a fantastic guitar player and teacher. Thanks for taking the time to produce such great lessons.

Adrian, your lessons are a joy to watch! Your playing is fantastic and you do a wonderful job of explaining what is going on... really ideal teacher! Thanks so much for all these great videos!

Loved watching this years ago, struggling along on my acoustic… but now I have an Epi, yay. Great tuition and ‘can do’ . Thank you 🙏 👍👍

Your really good at teaching .Very clear and very easy to digest . Some KZfaq teachers are 100 mph but you do it beautifully. Thanks for this . 👍

I'm a subscriber and you are a very clear teacher but sir... that Telecaster behind the door is giving me a heartattack

Man I love your style of teaching. I finally learned Travis picking with your help.

The best so far to Play Elvis 🎸 👏👏 Glad I found you

that was a great rendition. I am an Elvis enthusiast and rares the cover or replay of one of his tunes.I think this is one of his very best. You were true to the sound of the original.

Such a sweet sound from a wonderful teacher!

YOU are one incredible guitar player! Man, love listening to you play

So glad I found this lesson always loved that intro riff 🎸🎸!!...well explained once more..

Thanks man! You're a very good instructor, know how to explain. The selection of great guitar tunes is also very helpful for me to expand in a different way. I´m autodidact and appreciate your work a lot. Thanks again!

The best way ever to show how to play this song thank you you are a good teacher

Excellent lesson and always appreciate the technical and theory explanation!

Excellent video, I've watched a few others to try and get this song down but yours helped the most. Many thanks!

He breaks this figure down very nicely. I mainly play jazz and a little classical, so this rockabilly comping has some unfamiliar intricacies. This an awesome lick. It sounds mad cool and fun as hell to play! Thanks Adrian!

i' m watching from corsica , i like very much the quality and clarity (?)of your tutos. thanks for sharing and especially race with the devil . thanks again and long live rock n' roll !

Such a great lesson... I come back for a refresher regularly! :-) Thanks!

You are the MAN!! My favourite guitar teacher... and super cool 😎, much ❤ 🙏🙏

Thanks for a great lesson! Working on the song now and it's coming together nicely. Appreciate the detail in the lesson.

Outstanding lesson dude. U Always have the coolest guits and such wonderful tone. That Princeton is glorious.

I love coming back to your lessons, I'm learning so much. Thanks again Adrian! Also, your guitar is awesome.

I concur. You are a marvelous teacher. I Thoroughly enjoyed this lesson. Spot on

Awesome, thank you for sharing your talent! Fantastic tone and guitar too.

Great lesson. Always wanted to play this & you nailed it. Thanks

Adrian, 1st class teacher. I love your stuff.

Fantastic teacher, great lesson! Thank you.

Nice! I am trying my hardest to learn this style and your video is really helping me out! Thanks!

You are amazing! Great teacher, too!

DUDE! Well done! Thank you from Texas, USA...

Hi Adrian, another great lesson enabling anyone seriously interested in the guitar to really improve their playing. Always love hybrid picking whether it be the late, great Scotty Moore or that man in the beret, the still blooming Richard Thompson. Over the years I've learned a great deal from many excellent postings on KZfaq and the related links to the sites of countless players/teachers. Without descending into 'brown nose' territory, I honestly can't think of any site that is better than yours. I , along with many others no doubt, am very thankful for your generosity in providing us with such superb material. Looking forward, if you ever get the time, to see more with your Tele - I've got the same axe myself. Cheers.

PERFECT. Thanks for the lesson, Adrian!

Great tutorial - inspirational in that you give others (me) hope that they can follow suit and actually learn - enjoyable. Thank you for making it.

Bravo... GREAT JOB ! Thanks for the lesson. Cheers.

Brilliant easy to understand lesson..a huge thank you from surfing the net land...

First class - many thanks and happy new year.

following this lesson ,so well and patiently done as a beginner it's been really helpful

Man!, You have the coolest music taste. Thanks for sharing all your great videos.

This lesson is different gravy. I do believe, Scotty Moore himself would struggle to teach his own stunning guitar part as effortlessly as you have my friend. People who want to teach would do themselves no harm by watching this, gentleman. 10/10 :)

Fantastic stuff Adrian. Great teaching! Many thanks

Thanks for the lesson! you do the song justice ...from N. California

I really like the way you teach. Thank you.

Hi Adrian, thank you so much for this lesson, it was very clear, never knew how to play it, but now I can thanks to you dude!

Adrian , you' re great and mucho simpatico ! i love each of your lessons

Sound and playing are very authentic!

great in depth clear lesson, thank you for sgaring your skills and knowledge

thank you for putting this lesson together. Much appreciated!!

Adrian - a huge thank you for saving me hours of ineffectual second guessing notes, timing and ... every aspect of this classic song. Being inspired to revisit songs from yesterday is sooo rewarding and enjoyable and with your considerable assistance it is fab making progress. Love the lessons and the playing. Keep going :) Oh ... and stay safe of course.

Thanks Adrian, this gave me the breakthrough I needed. 👍🙂🎸

Thank you for your fantastic tutorials!

Awesome job sir! Thank you for the post...Greetings from East Los Angeles!

love it best take yet

Excellent lesson thanks so much for the insight. Greg from Australia

You are a very gifted teacher!

Beautiful presentation, thank you!

I love the song and your version..Kudos

beautiful. can't thank you enough

you are one of the best teachers on here

I admire your dedication and skill.

Adrian you are one hell of a guitar player , gee man !

Thank you for this! Cool Vox guitar!

Beautiful tone and playing. I bought a Gretsch largely due to Setzer/Moore/Eddy/Cochrane/Townsend Pleasure to listen to this

Great playing Ade, doing justice to the one and only SM

Absolutely brilliant lesson. Our little band have started doing a few rockabilly numbers and trying to get Scotty Moore's work down correctly proves just how good he really is and how ahead of his time he was 60 odd years ago. If you've time, a couple of numbers I'd love to see your take on is Scotty's work on My Baby Left Me and Hound Dog. The start of Scotty's 2nd Hound Dog solo has me completely baffles. Delighted to subscribe and see what other gems you've got lined up. Terry

Personally i think the best on You tube and out there online... I`m so into Rockabilly since 13 and i`m 54 now, so you an imagine when i saw this, and then the Robert Johnson finger picking... i can see your a great coach and also Rock n Roll historian.. With pick and fingers this is new to me, but i`ll crack on, the thumb pick may be a little investment, we`ll see.. thanks so much... Micky in Portsmouth

Well thought out and nice friendly teaching style.

excelente amigo,suas aulas são sensacionais. muito obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos. 😊👏👏👏👏

You really are gifted, man! Good on you
