Elvis was the King, but Scotty Moore was the engine that propelled his early song. Scotty's guitar work on the Sun Records recordings set the blueprint for rock'n roll and rockabilly. His ability to mix country, Western swing, blues and R&B created a sound like no other!
This guitar lesson will walk through one of the first rock n roll songs! It is a staple of rockabilly set list and a great song for beginners up to intermediate and advanced.
Be sure to comment and let me know what other lessons you would like to see in the future and subscribe for more classic rock'n roll and rockabilly songs in the future!
