How to Play Hound Dog by Elvis Presley on Guitar with Scotty Moore

Elvis guitarist, Scotty Moore, takes you through how to play the early King's classics. Rock critic Dave Marsh credits Moore with inventing power chords on the 1957 Presley song "Jailhouse Rock." Moore was ranked 29th in Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. Rolling Stones' lead guitarist Keith Richards said of Moore, "Everyone else wanted to be Elvis, I wanted to be Scotty."

I was fortunate enough to see Elvis perform live at the National Theatre on Feb 6, 1956. He did four shows that day. Elvis opened the show doing Mystery Train and I loved Scotty's guitar sound on that song. I watched Scotty more than I did Elvis. After that show I new I wanted to learn guitar and play all of the Sun recording's. I was 13 years old by the time I was 15 I had learned most of Elvis's Sun recording's. Thank you Scotty Moore for inspiring me to play guitar. RIP my friend!

I think a lot of us are playing guitar because of Scotty Moore without even realizing it. All the great bands we respect owe something to this rock pioneer.

[@TroyNaumu808]

Always enjoyed listening to Mr Moore and also listening to his stories. He is dearly missed.

Hound Dog Lesson starts at 33:55 Great video - watch the rest too.

R.I.P Scotty Moore A big part of the reason why Elvis is so famous

[@hogsbelly63]

The Man and the song that started me on the long guitar playing road. Thank you, Scotty. RIP.

[@BedeLaplume]

​Scotty Moore's solo is epic on this song.. It's actually quite sophisticated, borrowing bebop jazz lines mixing them with blues-rock riffs.. Certainly one of the first true guitar hero without shredding with distortion..

[@tadsomato1940]

This man is a legend, and influenced scores of guitarists beyond his ken.

SCOTT, WAS A Friend OF MINE FOR 30 PLUS YEARS MY SISTER WAS. HIS EXECUTIVE BUSINESS ASST. FOR 30 PLUS YEARS I SAT WITH HIM AT HIS HOME THE LAST WEEK BEFORE HE PASSED . MY SISTER PASSED AWAY THE YEAR BEFORE, & MY NIECE TOOK OF HIM. HIS LAST 2 YEARS. SCOTT WAS ONE OF THE NICEST EASY GOING FRIEND THAT I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE. HE PROBABLY PLAYED " MYSTERY TRAIN FOR ME

[@pjriverdale8461]

Had the opportunity to meet and thank him some years back shortly before he stopped playing.

[@billtice5057]

His Guitar changed my life as a young kid. Not long after hearing him, I took-up playing guitar. 40 years later and several national tours later he’s still an inspiration too me.

[@icanfartloud]

His guitar changed the world. Presley's records were the Jimi Hendrix's of the fifties, not all of course just the thrashing guitar ones. In reality, you are looking at the original Hendrix, Paige, Townsend, Harrison, Richards, etc...

[@IceCubeNETWORK873]

That Is one of the Nicest Gibson’s I Have ever seen in my Life!

[@wmmatthew83]

One of my favorite guitarist rip Scotty Moore

[@philm.6113]

I finally have my Scotty Moore -The Guitar That Changed The World - album. More Moore!!

[@jimday2618]

I’m an 80 year old man who learned to play Like Scotty Moore the greatest Rock a billy guitar player on the globe. When I heard him I bought a Old beat up guitar for $10. In 3 years I could just like him even to this day.

[@alberttatlock5237]

I'm more inclined to believe Scottys version of events than Sam Phillips who always puts himself there as the man who discovered everything

[@iVideosongs]

We declare ourselves "Switzerland" on taking sides. But Scotty was a humble guy.

[@woodrowvankoutrik3007]

I agree and I think the way Sam Phillips treated Billy Lee Riley was awful

[@GOGOLH]

Genius solo - and great lesson!

[@jacobjones3990]

This video is worth $1 million

[@russellpaloor8225]

It's just so hard to listen to. Old folks when they tell a story they bring up details and search for dates that are nice to know, but draw a story out soooooo long! I still sit and listen though!

[@iVideosongs]

Ease up on the social media. Your ADD may improve to accommodate the rest of us.

[@Mike-rp8ev]

Scotty you are a legend I'll miss you big brother

[@Francesco-cn1js]

Elvis Scotty and Bill 💯💪 Love SUN recording "Mystery Train" 👌

SCOTTY MOORE - The Father of ROCKABILLY GUITAR A N D The King of ROCKNROLL GUITAR

[@Prag11]

Classic of the classics

[@haro82]

Great interview and lesson. Exactly like the record.

[@nandoblondemobydick5438]

In the second solo, at the intro is even more genial the are a couple notes more on the slides chords which sound even more killers, their are 4 notes chords diminish or augmented i don't remember now, but i used to play its an inusual harmony, and woo!! really killer intro seems to break something in this slides, all the solos are top class but the second intro is genial

[@20thcenturyboy85]

THANKS SCOTTY!!!!

[@goldenultra]

Quite clever solo, it seems more unique too. Is the first part when you fret 3rd and 6th part muted¿ I know he uses tape delay.

[@paulafranceschi]

Look at that Manley behind him!!

[@peterk.guitar5729]

Danke, super rechte Handstudie für alle Gitarristen

[@princenaz23]

It cut right to blue moon of Kentucky and didn't talk about alright mama the A side lol!

[@michellevolkmann5675]

Love you!

[@chiefhalftown]

Pretty much the most accurate Hound Dog on You Tube!

[@metalheadlazz]

Gene B Well I would hope so Since he played on the song

[@stevenvanrensburg2938]

Metalhead Lazz???

[@metalheadlazz]

steven van rensburg what is there to question with my comment. The dude said "Pretty much the most accurate Hound Dog on KZbin" and I said well I would hope so since he played on the song

[@stevenvanrensburg2938]

Metalhead Lazz I was??? because you said he played on the song, so he should know. Which version do you mean, the song on this video is a cover.

[@chiefhalftown]

I repeat my comment. After the Scotty Moore talking section, which is pretty much the same on all Songmaster videos. Toward the end of the video, the guy goes through the song on guitar in detail. His solos are the best and most accurate that I've seen on You Tube. The second solo most guitarists don't touch.

[@gehbw]

Good part starts at 47:31

[@charleydowd3126]

gehbw I came to learn the solo! Thanks!

[@nickangel6596]

I expect the tuto "How to Play Hound Dog with Elvis Presley on Vocal"

[@ciatangallaghe2485]

Its mad to me that Scotty ever existed. His guitar playing seemed otherwordly

[@buzzlightyear1191]

Barney Rubble can play that guitar pretty dam good!!!

[@yer6105]

44:11

[@bobs2809]

Beautiful guitar. What are those red markers on the fretboard for?

[@juanantonioestirado4923]

RnB inside him .....Uaaaaaauuuuhhhh

[@gumdash]

a god strumming his guitar

[@joachimihned1984]

Is it possible to download somewhere these transcriptions? No matter if for free or paid. Thanks

[@PaulJohnson-xb9gi]

I believe the truss cover says "Chet Atkins" and the pick guard says "Scotty Moore". Do I need new glasses or what?

[@larryyouguessame6078]

I wonder who ever got that Gibson here off of Scotty after he passed?🤔

[@cjgonzalez9181]

What guitar does scot have in the vid

[@user-eo1im4fi9v]

remove the subtitle out so that i can see how he play the solo

[@danielscroggins6806]

which Gretsch model is Scottys guitar

[@seankagan5720]

Daniel Scroggins he plays a gibson and a 6120 I think

[@chinesealan5683]

In what world do you think 1 hour is the right length for a guitar tutorial??????

[@thomaspappalardo7589]

It’s a history lesson and guitar lesson. If you can’t appreciate both, you’re not ready.

[@davidcunningham8318]

play it on an electric, ok?

[@raymondthompson2908]

The start of the second solo is totally wrong on this tutorial. In timing, structure and chords. And the band performing Hound Dog need dealing with as Elvis did to Old Shep. Raymondo

[@billmartyn-smith1364]

Scotty was great Elvis was very limited in his guitar skills that's why you never see him plugged in. It was mostly for decoration

[@jimcraig8566]

A storyteller he ain’t.

[@user-eo1im4fi9v]

เอาคำแปลออกไปเหอะ มันบังวิธีการเล่นกีต้าร์

[@bbsoni4814]

we want to hear scotty play, not that guy, gee....this is ridiculous
