Joel Paterson - Scotty Moore Sun Session Solos

I was overseas at the time of Scotty Moore's passing, I didn't get to pay one of my biggest guitar influences a proper tribute. It's a little late, but here is every Scotty Moore solo from the Elvis Sun Sessions, and a big thank you to a true giant of American music, whose mix of country blues and Chet Atkins style fingerpicking single-handedly invented rockabilly and truly was the guitar that changed the world. Rest in peace, Scotty!

Elvis meeting up with scotty was perfect timing, just like lennon and McCartney meeting, the stars all in perfect alignment

[@564df6g5h4d6f5g4h6d5]

For Elvis it was. Scotty got totally boned by the Colonel on the money and was forced to leave soon after.

[@CHlEFFIN]

Unbelievable playing. In my humble opinion this is a lot more impressive than shredding. That tone just makes you want to MOVE!!

[@harrylime5147]

CHlEFFIN ...I can shred but I can’t do this

[@haro82]

I agree 100%. I could listen to this style all day.

[@oddjobtriumph1635]

Shredding is for people who are not Musical.... you can't hide behind loads of distortion and effects why you play old school....

[@joebush1663]

[@evelknievel3091]

Impressionnant bravo quel picking finger au top 😮

[@axiomist1076]

You sure are good. A master. This goes to show Elvis was a down home country boy and Scotty was playing souped up country licks to fit Elvis's style and moves. And the kids just ate it all up. I first heard this stuff when I was 8 years old , in Cuba and it changed my life forever. Still love it and you bring it all back. Thanx a million. And thanx a million to Scotty, the original.

[@Danny-mn8nm]

I have watched this video over and over, I never get tired of hearing it, You are a great player and you have nailed that vintage rockabilly Sun records sound, right down to the original guitar Scotty used in the beginning,Gibson ES-295, not to mention the thumb pick technique. Thank you

[@MichaelLynMusic]

Yes Sir...God Bless you Scotty and RIP...you changed the world

[@GD7Music]

Masterful!! As good as it gets. Scotty lives on in you. Not just the right notes, inversions, also the touch, the sound, the finesse. You have set the bar and done me and guitarists everywhere a great service. I will be watching and studying this for years to come. Thank You.

You are truly an inspiration to all of us who admired Scotty. I had the fortune to work with him a few times in Nashville at his studio. I ask him to show me the guitar solo on Hound Dog. It took a couple of swigs off the old bottle, but he finallyremembered. I'm was truly blessed and thankyou again.
