[@emilysanders8116]

I was married to Scotty Moore and you sound just like him. You have a real gift. Thanks for your kind words about him. He would be impressed with your talent.

[@camildube9938]

love all your video ,great stuff

[@dekerivers5798]

I wonder what you think about Scotty‘s solos on Too Much and King Creole.

[@emilysanders8116]

I was married to Scotty Moore and hearing you play is like having Scotty sitting here by me. Thanks for making this video. I miss him so much. Emily Moore

[@underonecover]

Emily you got any cool stories of Scotty

[@2011littlejohn1]

It must be something for you to know that all these people were influenced by him and consider his playing so iconic and seminal.

[@v-g-z3689]

I heard on Peter Guralnicks audiobook that at some point in 1954, Elvis joked around that he was looking for a date with Scotties wife which Scotty didn´t find amusing at all. Was that wife you?

“Every one wanted to be Elvis. I wanted to be Scotty” Keith Richards

[@SpookyFox1000]

Everyone loves Keith !

[@deathmagneto-soy]

@@SpookyFox1000 - Everyone wanted to be Johnny Depp. I wanted to be Keith.

[@christophersorensen6522]

By the time I rolled in... I wanted to be Charlie Watts!

[@John-ob7dh]

I remember my buddy learning all his solos in 1959.One of his favs was just because.He was only 16 but was headed for great things.i beleive he met Scotty. His name is Albert Lee.

[@WorldsOkayestGuitarPlayer]

Scott Moore has some really tasty licks to learn from 🎸🎸

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Scotty Moore is a huge influence, you can hear a lot of it in John Fogerty's R&R chops

[@quinnolore1582]

Totally sounds like SRV took a lot of inspiration from this when making pride and joy

[@musicaliturgicacatolica4278]

Actually SRV sounds like that.

SCOTT, WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE FOR 30 PLUS YEARS. I PURCHASED HIS RECORDING STUDIO FOR MY SISTER TO OPERATE. I HAVE COOKED BREAKFAST ON HIS KITCHEN STOVE QUIET A FEW TIME , WHILE HE SAT AT HIS KITCHEN TABLE PLAYING HIS GUITAR. AUTHENTIC & PURE SCOTTY MOORE GUITAR MUSIC.

[@guitarman1477]

Shut up

[@guyesentals9406]

Thats heavy ! Guy sweden

[@wowwowwow185]

it's that amazing sound he created .Elvis was lucky to have him along with Bill black and Dj fontana

[@larrypower8659]

Those A7 and B7 chords are really the old school way to play them. Scotty Moore’s solo in Hound Dog is wicked, too. There’s one chord that defies logic when he starts part two of his solo. He was a great and trend setting player, for sure.

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

yep, the 7th interval is on top only, i keep noticing this old version in things too, pops that note out more though, it matters which interval is the highest note in a chord, similar to how, the notes are arranged can make it sound completely different.

[@brocluno01]

This riff is one of the all time rock a billy go to riffs. It's prolly in the top 10 of all rock n roll riffs. Modified, it's still being played today. Good show, and please do more Scotty :-)

[@tonyvogler7778]

Thank you for recognizing the Great Scotty Moore! A humble Giant

[@denisechetty4019]

That's such a typical simple and great Rockabilly lick! I love them both Chet and Scotty. Thanks🎸🙏.

[@noahtenshen]

Ah, the music of my childhood made so much better with your clarity and demonstration. Speaking of Rockin'. You my friend ROCK! Stay Well.

[@crazydiamond3403]

Wow, I've found your channel by the video what Mick Taylor did when Jimi Hendrix is in the audience, I gotta say that I love your songs that you make content on and you really radiate positive vibes and energy in your videos. Thanks for making my day much happier 😊😊

[@InfiniteRiffs]

You can definitely hear Pride & Joy in the opening and rhythm. All the greats borrow from the greats

[@stephengoh5456]

Super awesome! Love it. Thank you.

[@michaelmendillo7513]

Great Stuff Pilgrim. !!! Luv it. !!!! Very motivational. !!! I actually got up and grabbed my guitar. !!! 😁😎✌✝💕

[@owenbrett2747]

That's beautiful. I've been listening to that almost all my life, but it's the first time I see it.

[@davidsummerville351]

Love that guitar!

[@aidanmcclelland1991]

This such a great breakdown. Awesome stuff brother.

[@davi_lins]

The Great Scotty Moore

[@wjewell63]

Brilliant

[@tupelokid11]

I was lucky enough to see Scotty perform a few times and meet him too. One time before the gig I decided to pop out quickly to get something from my car and walking into the club by himself in his raincoat was Scotty! I couldn’t believe it!! I shook his hand and thanked him for coming to the UK

[@alanwarren4587]

Great teacher by a brilliant guitarist 👍🏻🤩🤩💪

[@murattaner7384]

Never heard a LP sound like this (good). Congrats :)))

[@kevinvoisine1922]

And it’s the studio Les Paul. Goes to show it’s the player, not the guitar

[@cato451]

Scotty Moore is awesome

[@sapelesteve]

That was great Thom! So many of those old country pickers were great guitarist. I was wondering if you ever did a video about the late, great, Gary Moore? Happy Holidays to you & your family! Be well and stay safe! 👍👍🎸🎸🎄🎄😉😉

[@stephen285]

great vid

[@Splattle101]

Good video, and a nice introduction to the importance of muting. So many of us don't get our muting chops right 'cuz we're too busy learning the cool bits.🤘🤘

[@fischman26-China]

Simple, fun and interesting video. Good job! I just hope younger musicians get a chance to discover Scotty and his impact, even in music today.

[@patrickgueguin792]

I like when you play rock and roll

[@antlerking69]

Thanx very cool! Nice to see you broke out the Studio LP

[@joepalooka2145]

You are entirely correct about how great Scotty Moore is. There are very few guitar players who have influenced so many others, who are so distinctive and original, and who still remain at the top of the list all these decades later. I saw an interview with Scotty once, and he said "There's two kinds of guitar players---- the ones who play notes, and the ones who make sounds. I make sounds." He was a real genius of the guitar, and it was an extraordinary act of fate and God that put him together with Elvis, Bill Black, and Sam Phillips.

[@borjewahlen6917]

You are so good teacher and a super good guitarist. You appreciate dynamics and simplicity when it's needed. There are thousands of skill guitarist out there but they don't sound interesting..just like a barbed wire. Thank you . 😊

[@AaronLS.]

good lesson. love how you go over the physical details of the technique. would have been helpful to know theoretical what notes he was playing with those high slides? various dyads? notes of the E major scale? its just hard to implement without understanding some why.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Why did everybody call him "The Great Scotty Moore". Cuz he was great. Elvis was spoiled. Going from Scotty Moore to James Burton. Love your pickin', Pilgrim.

[@BezhurnyDecibels]

Спасибо тебе дружище, очень круто!🔥🎸👍

[@70selvisfan]

I'm a Fender guy, but that Les Paul is a sexy guitar!

[@thecoastCoverband]

Way to go T

[@deathmaybeyoursantaclaus]

Thanks for this man, would be interested if you would have a go teaching us some of Charlie Christian's music?

[@2011littlejohn1]

Scotty was so in Money Honey (where he used that slide you demonstrated with an E chord) in the solo when he changes to an A chord there is a short gap then he hits the down beat - absolutely sublime.

[@philippedesaintleger6574]

Scotty the real Elvis sound, forever " Elvis and blue moon boys "

[@chimpanzee420]

Less is more . Just what I love

[@jimfritz9503]

Less is MOORE

[@123Elvis1]

Reminds me of Carl Perkins song Honey don’t.

[@paulcooper5748]

Can you do one on the great jeff healey i know its hard because of the way he played it flat on hes lap and so forth but would be great to see one on him love these vids.👌

[@John-ob7dh]

Good rocking tonight. Baby lets play house and Lawdy miss Clawdy.i have learnt.

[@nickefgen9219]

I wanna learn how to play this song, it’s one of my favorite tunes. I play the guitar and have been for 33 years

[@rohitk2497]

sounds like country/swing SRV!

[@antlerking69]

Have you thought of a Paul Kossoff show? ❤👍👏

[@aidanmcclelland1991]

Has a very large Vince Gill sound to it. That "chicken pickin" sound.

[@v-g-z3689]

Some fun facts here: Scotty heard Chet playing the alternating bass pattern (and perfected it in his own unique way that is different from anybody else doing it). Chet got from Merle Travis, and you know who taught Merel Travis? Ike Everly, the father of the famous Everly Brothers. And you know who taught Ike Everly? Arnold Shultz, a black R&B musician.

[@sevapaco]

genial tron

[@yvondemers3094]

Can you puy the intro by Scotty Moore of the song I Want You I Need You I Love You by Elvis Presley

[@spanishmasterpieces5203]

The basic is blues and boogie woogie!

[@aigarslindentals8315]

Easy ! ))

[@wiscgaloot]

Wait, I just read that he came from fingerpicking like Chet, and played with a thumbpick and fingers on those early recordings.

[@johnpeeler4455]

It seems like SRV pride and joy is a mixture of lightning skyhop and Scotty more

[@obiem9319]

I'm surprised you haven't cover Jeff Beck

[@Guitarplayer724]

The song was written in 1947 by Roy Brown. Supposedly it’s considered as one of the first “Rock & Roll’ songs. Courtesy of Wikipedia.

[@maxwellspeedwell2585]

Double stops. Chuck Berry taught us all that.

[@marcelmuller8572]

For me, Scotty Moore was the best Guitarist of all Time, although Hunk Garland was a bit heavier and just as Brilliant. But Scotty shaped the Rock Sound and Style with DJ, Black and Presley in such a Way that after them there was hardly anything that the four of them hadn't done long ago.

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

Scotty Moore…round 2..

[@LevinsThe]

Tarantino vibes

[@karlgillies]

Seek out Joel Patterson, and you two, travel the world, working together. Cheers .

[@indiegemsthatjam3986]

Thank you for another fantastic lesson on an often overlooked legend. However, if I could humbly add my 2 cents ... changing the camera view 10 times on your intro riff is unnecessary and distracting ... your playing is all the polish we need!

[@lamper2]

Did Roy Brown get rich from writing this or even get ANY money?

[@Scorhos]

You showed in another video that Srv like copied the tone riff and so pride and joy was born..

[@AthelstanEngland]

I play an Epiphone ES295... no need to ask why! :)

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Gee, it sounds like Creedence jamming some stuff to see what comes out.

[@federicovicente8116]

It's sounds like a "proto" Stevie Ray all over the place. I've never listened to this guitarist, so I have homework to listen.

[@Kittykatwiz]

OMG! Who are you!! I’m in love!! 😍 ❤️ Awesome video and I swear I’m not a creeper lol

[@marcelocunha4379]

So you surrendered to the charms of a les paul?

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Yes indeed! 😀

[@guitarman1477]

Your playimg the lick wrong
