Elvis Presley - Guitar Man 1967 | REACTION

[@carriemichelle322]

BANGER!! Cant wait for you to see this live, 68 Comeback Special ❤❤❤

[@Laura-M-L]

This is a classic Elvis song! He didn’t need a guitar to set the world on fire! 🔥 ❤. Love this song as he performs it in the 68 comeback special!

[@Mary-bk2wj]

Wait till you hear the ‘68 Comeback Special version (Trouble/Guitar Man). It’s ❤️‍🔥

[@florinfrentiu1383]

Everything is on fire in this song. The accoustic guitar, Elvis voice, the sound. I think big boss man is even better.

[@ElvisForevermore]

When Elvis did the song, he requested to get the original guitar player, Jerry Reed to play on it, a great move, and so he called up Jerry on a fishing trip, he came down in his fisherman attire, and came down to play the song for Elvis.

[@WoodsWoman822]

Love This Song but Live is even Better !! ❤

[@jennyjorgensen9935]

He went down I 55 to New Orleans, on the Gulf of Mexico, about 400 miles, then East on I 10 to Mobile, Alabama (not far) on the Gulf. What fun it would be to find Jack's place and see Elvis heading that 5 piece band. I would have stayed there and never left.😂 He brought Jerry Reed in to record this because he couldn’t replicate the guitar licks on the original. When Jerry met Elvis he said, "Damn, that was the only time I ever wished I was a girl. He was the most handsome man I ever saw"! Great reaction, Seph. You hear everything and makes me go back to hear it, too!!❤❤❤

[@Jeri_C11]

Love when he sings this live on the 68 Comeback Special ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂Love ya Seph. You are truly authentic. 🙂🙂🙃🙃

[@SephPlays]

I'm verrrryyyyy much looking forward to this Special! Everyone i've spoke to over the past one and a half years has been saying that this is one of the best things they have ever seen and that i should watch it. The hype is real haha

[@SheenaRea]

Such a COOL song!!! Elvis delivers this with CLASS!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks Seph!!!😘

[@janetbentsen1829]

It doesn't get any better than Elvis and finger picking Jerry Reed. Who incidentally wrote Guitar Man. Love it ❤

[@marion_R]

This song will always stay on my playlist. Jerry Reed plays the guitar perfectly, I can never sit still hearing this.💃

[@AnnemarieSwarts]

Groovy and unique. ❤ Loosely the story of Elvis' career. He actually makes me believe he lived the lyrics! Due to his lean spell it didn't get enough air play, though. 😌

[@jjbud3124]

Good one. When this song comes up again - don't skip it. You listen to granny now, ya hear?😄😁 Song written by Jerry Reed in 1967. Jerry Reed is a great country singer and pretty good song writer who wrote a few songs for Elvis. U.S. Male was one.

[@kathifielder1110]

I like the way you got your point across without giving Seph a spoiler. Unfortunately, the spoiler is everywhere on this one.

[@jjbud3124]

@@kathifielder1110 I've been guilty in the past, so I try. 🙂 Sometimes I'm bursting to give him a spoiler.

[@robbansa]

The Elvis showing what he's made of, when he is in the recording studio and can pick his own songs. Great picture of young Elvis. It's a really groovy rock'n roll song. Imagine him picking his own movie songs...

[@WoodsWoman822]

I WISH !!

[@maryrowell1122]

I can see Elvis doing a rap song he could do any music

[@balovett]

(4:30) "What have you got in your jacket? It's my guitar! Oh, God I'm crude..." Made me chuckle. 😉

[@judyzeller3921]

There is a short video on FB of Jerry Reed telling the story of them finding him fishing, begged him to come in for the song as no one else was able to make the right sound. He is talking to someone off camera as he reminisces & says he walked into the studio, saw Elvis & said "you're the best lookin' man I've ever seen. Kinda makes me wish I was a girl." He said Elvis just laughed.

[@mandyheath1793]

Great upbeat song from Elvis ❤

[@johnbattles1002]

The way he says "GEE-tar" is the way a true Southerner says it! Lol!

[@MaryJones-vo5nz]

This is his early recording, but wait till you see the opening number to the 68 comeback special it is absolutely a work art. It's A production number. Pure Southern accent.

[@janetb.8683]

Great song & well sung by Elvis! It was originally written & sung by Jerry Reed who was an accomplished musician & fantastic guitar player. When Elvis was recording 'Guitar Man' in Nashville they couldn't get the guitar sounding the same as Jerrys' version so Elvis wanted Jerry to come into the studio to do the guitar work. They eventually located Jerry who was on a fishing trip at the time & brought him into the studio (still in his fishing attire & sporting a beard) to complete the recording. I think that's how the story went. Enjoyed it Seph! 👍😄

[@jessethornton8664]

When Jerry Reed walked in the hall to go into studio Elvis was standing on the far end of the hall. Jerry ran down the hall and jumped in Elvis’ arm and kissed Elvis . Saying I’m as straight as can be but your are the most beautiful person I have ever seen.

[@janetd6686]

Glad you liked this one Seph. Me too!

[@raymondturner3952]

Can't wait for US Male.

[@helenludlow2331]

Yay the double banger is back - love Guitar Man - such a great upbeat song and Elvis sings it just wonderfully as we know he can🎵🎤🎶🎧💙

[@allandickson8576]

great song

[@senyart890]

Love your reaction to this one. Jerry Reed wrote those lyrics and I bet it brought back memories of 1954-1955 for Elvis.

[@carolinedefoy2215]

I can listen to the sessions over and over again, Elvis as a musician and his good perception couples this song with What'd I say. double banger you are right

[@allandickson8576]

U.S. Male should be next I think and that is just fantastic.

[@elvistcb3521]

Jerry Reed. Elvis called 📞 Said "Hey man... What are doin'?👍

[@gorse9030]

Excellent reaction Seph, on a song that what was deemed by many people to be the renaissance of the real Elvis, (personally I was never sure what that really meant) and probably on most fan's playlists

[@grahammalcolm7130]

There are great stories attached to this song . But the main thing is elvis loved signing this song

[@kathifielder1110]

WARNING: Spoiler alert in lots of comments on this one. Guess you'll just have to grin and bear it. I don't think Elvis gets enough credit for his enunciation. Not all artists can sing a fast song like this and have every word understood by the listener. A double banger for sure!!

[@traceycater]

I’ve always said his articulation was fantastic! Yes, Elvis was never got the credit he deserved.

[@Elvista]

Love this song....great all-round 🤘🏼💯🎸⚡🕺❤

[@giuseppinarispoli3326]

Spero che in seguito farai.vedere il video dello special comeback del 68 dove Elvis canta questa canzone in modo favoloso ciao Seph ❤❤❤❤❤

[@thepuma2012]

As said, the song was written and sung by Jerry Reed originally. He is worth a listen: He plays the guitar fabulous in his own finger-picking style, he sings quite well and he wrote his own songs. He also is a funny guy, a lot of songs have humour in them. Most of them are in country-style, sort of, and I think you said you like that too. He also was an actor in the famous and funny movie Smokey and the Bandit. Some songs: Oh! what a woman, Take a Walk, Another Puff, Tupelo Mississippi Flash (and coincidentally Elvis is born in Tupelo....), instrumental: The Claw.

[@ianraymondback]

Again there's a fantastic video version of this in the 68 comeback special you'll love it the best of elvis is yet to come for you to react to you lucky thing 😂

[@brandonayong5823]

There's also a longer version where at the very end of the take you hear elvis improvise a jam on "What I'd say" by Ray charles

[@gorse9030]

That was this one !!!!

[@brandonayong5823]

​@@gorse9030Yeah I realized that watching the video

[@theresacona1328]

Great song ❤❤❤

[@randymoore8336]

Jerry Reed was playing the guitar and wrote the song.

[@charlesfrancis6925]

Elvis Southern American accent is the best American accent!

[@maggieshome]

Brilliant banger love it 😍

[@okejee3455]

Guitar playing here is the great Jerry Reed.

[@Snorkebogan]

A GEM❤

[@karolakover5298]

Please watch the live version of guitar man 68 special. Please consider these songs. The impossible dream & closing vamp in Vegas Jan 29, 1971- live Snowbird The last farewell Suspicion Holly leaves and Christmas trees Why can't everyday be like Christmas Great reaction!!!

[@sherrera66]

Ahhhh😊 awesome Jerry Reed on guitar and had to be Jerry cuz no one else could get the sound that Jerry could and believe me they tried 🤣. With Elvis’ dress code in the studio and Jerry shows up in his fishing attire no shower lol.

[@jjbud3124]

That pronunciation of guitar is a southern "thang".

[@emerald1805]

Elvis is the best at everything. But I love Jerry Reed’s original version. Jerry is one of the best guitarist’s that ever lived. edit*. Please react to Jerry Reed’s “Preacher & The Bear!”

[@traceycater]

Seph do you think every song he sings is about him personally? 🙄

[@SephPlays]

Is this song about him? I never picked up on it if it was 👀
