George Klein's Memphis Sounds with Scotty Moore

Filmed August 2009: Scotty Moore is legendary Elvis' sideman, Rockabilly innovator and Guitar God who played on Elvis' early albums and appeared in many of his movies.

[@pauladams9067]

Scott, was a friend of mine. For 30 plus years. One of the nicest easy going friend I had . I sat with him 3 or 4 day in his upstairs. Bedroom at home in June before he passed away, while my Niece took care of his home & cooked for him.

[@perarvesen3986]

i met scotty at least four times in Norway in the nineties! What a nice man!RIP.Scotty😅😅

[@ericswolgaard1808]

SCOTTY!!!! You scared the heck out of me back in the 50's when I was just a young kid getting mesmerized by the early sounds of Rock n Roll - your swampy bluesy primal guitar playing has never left me- You and Elvis will NEVER leave my building!! RIP, Sir

R.I.P. Scotty Moore. One of the most influential guitarist of all time.

That's the first Rock n Roll holy grail guitar he's holding Gibson ES 295 Scotty bought in 1953 from Memphis music store but then he traded for another guitar in 1955, luckily a friend of Elvis bought the guitar and kept it all these year till it was finally given back to Scotty in 2007

[@arthurblackhistoric]

An absolute legend and a really lovely genuine guy as well. Humble and gracious. RIP

[@izzigogo]

Love this interview`!!!!! RIP Scotty Moore, you were the BEST! Loved to hear about what happened at the Opry straight from Scotty Moore. He is so proper and a true Gentleman. Elvis and his team were all Gentlemen, how loving....miss all of you``RIP

[@catdaddy3302]

RIP Scotty. Legend.

[@flashy5150]

by a million miles -- he was the first rock n roll guitar player that I was ever exposed to. Even after Scotty has passed. he "still" has licks that I've always wanted to get "perfect. My first guitar hero. D.J. was the guy that got me really liking rock. I used to pound the shit out of a stool that was stuffed with foam, I beat that thing 'til the stuffing was all over the living room. I knew I loved rock then. Hound Dog got me wired.

[@deirdremacmahon7402]

It's great to see Scotty Moore who i met in 1990 in the haven holiday park Norfolk in England it was at an elvis week festival and it was a pleasure and an honour to have met Scotty Moore and I'm in shock hearing the sad news about Scotty Moore passing away god rest his soul may he rest in peace amen

[@dlmullins9054]

The man who started it all. The King of Rockabilly , Scotty Moore!

[@catdaddy3302]

Him and Carl Perkins. Sun Records superstars.

[@ULTIMA-GENIUS-PREMIUM-HD]

Them and Cliff Gallup, Grady Martin, Les Paul, Eddie Cochran, Hank Garland, James Burton, Rockabilly guitar genius!

[@melodymakermark]

I've seen GK many times around my neighborhood, at the grocery, pharmacy, gas station. Super nice and approachable man and a legend himself. If you listened to Memphis radio in the 60's and '70's, he's imprinted in your brain. As far as Scotty, yes, the godfather of rock n roll guitar, just ask Jeff Beck.

[@Sarasdad91]

Scotty Moore A true legend

[@dlmullins9054]

Yes, there were many guitar heroes who were there at the beginning, and I think the moment Scotty Moore began improvising that day, Rock and Roll was born. Those magic fingers pulled it straight from his heart for the world to hear. Many came right after, but every great player in the fifties and sixties owe it all to Scotty Moore along with Perkins, Les Paul and a handful of other's. Just imagine all the great things they started. Amazing group of innovators who still own the brand!

[@dotfoster5626]

Such an unbelievable talent! RIP Scotty!

[@flashy5150]

I've always dreamed of Elvis reuniting with Scotty, D.J. , and the Jordanaires. I wish so much that Bill Black could be there, because he was crazy and I loved him -- he was my long lost brother. lol

[@TheFarmerfitz]

They did on the 68 comeback special.. Except for Bill of course because he had passed away before that... And I don't think the Jordanairs were there either...

[@GarryFullerSr]

Good to see Scotty. He's looking good.

[@stevewhite8059]

RIP Scotty Moore. Thanks for the music.

[@davekay960]

Scotty must surely be the most influential guitarist ever - and so humble

[@royarchibald6392]

Ran across this in my feed today. I sure remember going to sleep at night when I was growing up listening to the Q and the Geeker in my speaker. I went to Humes for three years and George lived across the street from the school for a time. He was emcee for one of our talent shows at Humes. The best memory I have of George, and I have kicked myself for 50 years for not taking advantage of the contact, I stopped George for speeding on Southern Ave not far from WHBQ. I didn't take the time to talk to him for a few minutes, tell him who I was, and where I went to school. I should have told him I wouldn't write him a ticket if he'd help me meet Elvis. Never crossed my mind until he was driving away. No, he didn't get a ticket anyway.

[@RaffiArto]

Im so sad it s like another part of our King has gone....thanks mister Scotty Moore to be a huge part of Elvis carieer and one of his best friends rest in peace near God and Jesus Christ ...Ill do my best to keep your memorie alive on stage and tel about you to the fellows of my generation

There is an integral part of the music of that time---its about the individuals and then the groups--that turned out the finished product. Thank you for posting the videos that demonstrate what I am talking about.

The late Mr. Scotty Moore was really one of the best guitar players around ! A shame the threesome of Elvis, Scotty and Bill didn't last. I heard that Colonel Parker broke them up... deplorable ! Mr. DJ Fontana was the bomb as far as drummers go. RIP Mr. Scotty, Mr. Bill and Mr. George Kline.

If you play rock & roll guitar,one way or another you were influenced by Scotty Moore..The first & best singer & guitarist combo ever! You later had,Mick & Keith,Jimmy & Robert, Edward & David Lee,Brian & Freddie..Countless others but Scotty & Elvis started the dynamic.

[@moviemagg]

Scooty Moore was probably the Greatest Guitar player in the history of Rock and Roll, with Chuck Berry a close second.

[@anonymusum]

I sincerely doubt that.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

Chuck Berry sang and played so he knew what he was gonna do... Scotty had to figure out what Elvis was gonna do by watching his back side... Both are phenomenal in my opinion..

[@TheFarmerfitz]

Scotty Moore, took a Chet Atkins style of picking, and he built his own style from that, once perfected he made it look so easy that the genious behind what he was doing was over shadowed by Elvis... In my view, The power of Elvis's voice backed with the power of Scotty Moore's Guitar and Bill Black's Bass was a phenomenal event that hasn't yet been matched... Especially once he perfected his style and was able to afford the best of equipment....

[@marvinbush5278]

Sure, Scotty Moore all but invented Rock n'Roll guitar.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

@@marvinbush5278 I wouldn't go that far, but he was there in the beginning of Rock-n-Roll.. (not to be confused with R&B).. There were others experimenting with it, and they didn't even know what to call it yet... And (the big time) didn't happen overnight For Elvis, Scotty and Bill either.. They paid there dues.. And along the way they developed their own style.. One that worked (Obviously)... Elvis learned a lot of his moves "as he went"... Scotty knew early on that more and more, it was Elvis who was becomming the "star attraction"...And he was absolutely just fine with that... But, one cannot listen to Elvis's records from the 50's, hear that driving guitar and not know that, Scotty was a major contributor to popularizing Rock-n-Roll... Even if he did just stand there in the background and play...

How funny Elvis's most recent drummer ( Ron Tutt) that played for him till Elvis died said the same thing Scotty Moore said, he had to watch Elvis to play according to his moves.Scotty Moore was an amazing guitar player. Too bad Parker made him leave his original band. Evis brought them back for "68 Special".

[@Denae2239]

No. Scotty isn't nearly as influential as Chuck Berry Bo Diddley dick dale. Hendrix has the top spot, also Eric Clapton,

[@seaside882000]

ready teddy considering he was the lead guitar player in the FIRST rock band, I'd say he was pretty influential. Every one of the british invasion bands site scotty moore as a HUGE influence. You could make the case for him and chuck berry for sure. these guys wrote the first book on rock and roll.
