Excellent!! Wow, thank you Randy Richter! We appreciate all that you do!!

[@ducktailcat]

And I really appreciate your comments, likes and support!

[@johnnycongamusic]

Hi randy, thanks for all your great content. One suggestion for your solo instruction videos. Could you please play the lick a few times normal and sloe speeds then break it down? There is no timing taught when you only show notes like this by saying, and then we go like this.... I simply cannot piece together the solo in this style with no reference points. Maybe somebody with photographic memory can but I need to hear a tempo and a context to understand where these notes fall. Thanks in advance.

[@ducktailcat]

Hi Johnny, Here I play usually two bars at the time as a unit slowly. Then I go into detail. Additionally the timing and rhythm are displayed in the tabs on the screen. Are you familiar with note values and this style of guitar tabs?

[@clark4033]

I am always astounded by your phenomenal memory, Randy.

[@billtice5057]

Fantastic! Scotty’s the happiest cat ever! :)

[@georeed62]

You are a very patient teacher I have been playing 45 years and you have shown me some things I have been missing who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks LOL thank you for your patience and kindness Your new friend George Reed

[@ducktailcat]

Thank you for your super nice comment!

[@georeed62]

you're very welcome mr. Richter.

[@georeed62]

Didn't mean to send that yet,,,,,,, I appreciate that you share your knowledge and the fun of playing guitar. I have had my share of students over the years some of these teenagers blow me away and how fast they catch on to things.I started with a John Denver's greatest Hits album and the book with the cords above the sheet music. Boy I wore that record out until I knew every song.I tried to show them how to listen for the guitar and try to copy what their hearing and playing by ear because I believe that shows them how he guitar can bring the song to life and I think that instills into their hearts and souls the purpose they are fulfilling, well enough about me I hope this message finds you in good health bless you and your and what you're doing for people!!

Randy, is ELVIS playing rhythm guitar on this RCA track? BTW, I just came back to give the forgotten 'thumbs up' .bad habit of mine. you have Rockabilly nailed down, my friend.

[@ducktailcat]

I'm pretty sure he is

[@flintdavis2]

That looks so hard! Gotta be an easier way! How do you play without memorizing all those finger changed? Playing buy ear? Is that the way!

[@ducktailcat]

Yes, I play mainly by ear. I sit down listen to the solo phrase by phrase and try to learn and memorize it

[@dan194445]

Merci !!

[@atomicflash1753]

How do you play Scotty's rhythm part to this song ?

[@v-g-z3689]

Very, very nice! Could you possibly do the 1960 version from the movie GI Blues as well?

[@ducktailcat]

I actually really prefer the 1956 version, so I have to disappoint you here. Sorry!

[@v-g-z3689]

@@ducktailcat Das macht nichts, trotzdem vielen Dank für die Antwort :) Ehrlichgesagt kann ich mich nie entscheiden, welche Version mir besser gefällt... vlt komm ich irgendwann noch drauf :)

[@Yannplaysguitar]

Lovely guitar and course. Can I ask what amp you use?

[@ducktailcat]

It's one I built myself. I will show it in one of my next videos.

[@Yannplaysguitar]

Nice! Look forward to that

[@josefk5659]

This is my kind of black music!

Hi Randy, love your work…. I’m looking for the solo tab for Blue Suede Shoes… don’t see it on your website. Did I miss it? Thanks.

[@ducktailcat]

Blue Suede Shoes is part of my Scotty Moore Udemy course. Here is a discount link for you: www.udemy.com/course/how-to-play-1950s-elvis-songs-just-like-scotty/?couponCode=RR-SCOTTY-24

[@bradleybt]

It would be useful to show what cords we're playing over.

[@ducktailcat]

You're right, will do that more consistently

Need to cover The Fool by Sanford Clark, Al Casey on guitar.

[@dan194445]

Très bon choix .....

[@joesjunkyard935]

Yes, i listened to that song just today before your comment! Its been a while since i heard it

[@ducktailcat]

That's a great song. I have the signature lick in my course 101 Awesome Rockabilly Licks

[@handyjim]

fantastic could i ask a favour could you show us how to play the solo in go cat go's lonesome road i normally sing it in E

[@ducktailcat]

Thank you for your comment! I try to stay away from modern rockabilly bands and focus on the original artists from the 1950s and 1960s. I'm sorry!

[@jackburl1950]

Waiting for ever --- never got the lesson . What the problem???

[@ducktailcat]

Hi Jack, what do you mean with never got the lesson. The course is available on Udemy. You just have to log in and you should have access to the whole course. If you have technical problems you can always write to the support team of Udemy: support.udemy.com/hc/de

[@cZerHD]

hi randy, what thumb pick do you use? I've tried a dunlop one and find it's uncomfortable and too thick

[@ducktailcat]

I use Fred Kelly Slickpicks light

[@Maplefuzz3542]

Hi, what model gibson is that?

[@ducktailcat]

It's a ES 295

[@DaPunkShadow]

Pete Seeger, is that you?

[@melcantell7479]

Not just playing like him, U r starting to look like Scotty more n more. Just in jest, don't take it seriously.

[@tojaks]

Sacriledge! Carl Perkins owns this. It has nothing to do with Scotty Moore or Presley. You should be ashamed.

[@mick2181]

I don't like ...

[@antoniosantorini9355]

YOu TALK TO MUCH !!!!

[@rickserrano3471]

Sounds like a rip off of Johnny be good

[@ducktailcat]

Not really, since Johnny B. Goode was recorded and released two years later than this version of Blue Suede Shoes. Both solos share the mix of Blues and Major Scale just like countless other songs, but apart from that don't have too much in common I think.
