Why Ritchie Blackmore Kick Ass
Excellent !
Nice work, mate. Kind of ironic, I started playing metal like Ozzy and stuff, and now many years later I developed a liking for this sort of thing. Your video is very helpful.
Keith Richards said : « Everybody wanted to be Elvis...I wanted to be Scotty Moore. ». You know the rest.
Man, much respect to you for making this video to highlight Scotty's talent. He's pretty much a hometown boy here in Southwest Tennessee, right along with Carl Perkins and Elvis. We are very proud of them all. Just seems Scotty and Carl don"t get their due respect as much as they should for what they did to change popular music forever. I haven't had a chance to look through all your videos yet to see if you've done one of these videos about Carl. If not, I would love to see you do one pretty soon. Thanks again for showing some of these licks, and playing them extremely well to boot! I'm subscribing! Have a good one Brother. (Bryan, Jackson TN)
Thanks Bryan? I am glad you liked the video brother, greetings from Ireland!
@@GuitarPilgrim I've got some Irish blood in me. Hope to be able to visit there someday.
Lots of the 50s guitarists are under-rated speed-demons.
Especially for the rythym sections
Try and keep up with Cliff Gallup...
Danny Cedrone's solo in Rock Around The Clock. Still a jaw-dropper.
Not only speed but good feel
Dude, youâre so incredibly entertaining, and an absolutely brilliant guitar player as well...love all your videos!!!
Thanks Joe! It was great fun making this video, Scotty Mooreâs guitarwork is an absolute joy to play!!
@@GuitarPilgrim very singing too đ

Agree! (England)
Scotty was working without a prior template for Rock N Roll, he WAS one of the originators. He was coming from Chet Atkins, Merle Travis and Jazz guitarists, not really blues players. Thanksgreat job!
đŻ thatâs the difference,he made the connection to rock/pop that tied it together when Leo Fender was changing the sound of guitars / amps to distortion / sustain - players added echo and effects but this is the bones right here. The Brits ran with it
You got the Scotty Moore mojo going G.P. He's smiling somewhere. Your guitar sounds great!
Finally someone is appreciating Scotty!
It's about damn time!
Oh, he's been appreciated for quite a while now: Moore was ranked 29th in Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2011. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and the Memphis Music Hall of Fame in 2015 (Wiki).
Amen
Vehlicks Keith Richards has always paid homage to Scotty
AMEN! Now we just need one of these on Carl Perkins.
Guitar Pilgrim, I was 13 in 1955 when I first heard Scotty Moore play Mystery Train and it changed my life. I wrote to Scotty a few years before he died to request a signed copy of his book, and told him that I believed that it was he and not Elvis that created the Big Bang that was Rock & Roll. Without Scotty, what would have EP become? Through his caregiver, Gail, I learned that he was quite pleased to hear this. You are do his playing style the best I have ever heard, and I've heard a lot of players tell about his influence. You made this old man smile one more time.
That's great to hear brother, I had the same experience when I was a young boy listening to the beatles and of course Elvis, those brilliant licks by Scotty, his guitarplaying whenever I hear it puts a huge smile on my face as well! Best to you!
SD West - A word I'm not given to squander: cool. It's very cool that at such a young age you were tuned-in enough to pay proper acknowledgement to a proper sporting hero. (All of my absolute, genuine heroes are musicians over and above athletes.)
Of the hundreds of music lesson videos I have watched this is an absolute Gem. Iâm an instructor at the VA with guitars4vets, we teach veterans with PTSD to play guitar and award them with a new guitar after competition of 10 lessons. As a Vietnam veteran it is a honor for me to be a part of the program. I am looking forward to sharing this with them. Just happened to stumble upon you today, you have an amazing gift...thank you so much, Jack
Hi Jack, thatâs great to hear! I have great respect for the work you do! I am glad the video is of any help! Greetings from Ireland
@@GuitarPilgrim A great country for music.Up the Irish!
You continue to blow my mind with your ability to play and recreate such amazing players' creations. Your talents and teaching abilities are top level to be sure. I'm glad you are out there. You are a bright light in this world. Stay Well.
Thank you brother, I just do my best trying to make a good video and hope people enjoy it!
You can tell he has a lot of passion . Great video
...Similar to Rick Beato and his CZcams channel and seriesâWhat makes this song Greatâ (1.17 million subscribers and growing). The guy in the featured video is actually much cleaner than Rick though
And that's why Guitar Pilgrim kicks ass!
Absolutely astounded by the amount of effort and knowledge that these videos must take you to put together for us to enjoy.
I can only be amazed at your talent and simple explanations that make these videos a compulsive watch and more important for me a big learn.
Please keep them coming and many thanks
It's an absolute joy to watch and listen to your videos.Your playing is beyond belief and so effortless.IMHO this was the best Elvis period in his whole career,for me,once the 60's arrived it was just a pale shadow of the 50's stuff...I could listen to you playing this kinda stuff all day long..Thank you.
I love this series! You're doing such a fantastic job, thank you! :)
This is why this style of music has stood the test of time and still tunes kids ears in to it all these years later. To me this always sounds. Fresh. Today's Teenagers love this now too
I've seen a lot of great guitar tutorials on CZcams over the years and this is one of the very best! Amazing work and a great tribute to a very underrated guitarist. Thanks!
Dude, where have you been all my guitar playing life? How incredibly refreshing it is to watch you play and how inspirational! I've been playing along and learning how to play chordal solos thanks to you!
7 reason why Mick Taylor great.
7 reason why Jimmy page great.
7 reason why Ritchie Blackmore great.
MICK TAYLOR IS A GOD
Jimmy page is good, not great
@@chucklemuchuckle2170 He's great. I can't play like that. It's so disjointed. It's got me fucked.
@@MistaRat He's not great, he's God.
@@MistaRat why do you think hes great
Alabama here remember a lot of this as a kid and love it just run across your site it's awesome thanks brother đ
Well done. Huge Elvis music fan and breaking down âtrain,â BONUS!!!
Thank you so much for all your exemplary videos and outstanding guitar lessons for all of us in CZcams land . Keep Rocking!
One little thing : in the solo for That's All Right, you only hit the open E string for the bass run the first time through, when the solo is first kicking off. The next two times through, you're supposed to be hanging onto the double-stop to make it sustain, and jump back into the bass run on the second note, which is the E string fretted at the second fret. But that's part of the genius of Scotty : he knew Bill was doubling that run on bass, so he could skip that first note and nobody could really tell, because Bill was filling in that note on bass. Listen to Elvis' version with all of the bass turned off so that you can really hear Scotty's guitar in detail, and you'll hear it for yourself : he only plays that open E the first time, and then let's Bill fill that note in the next two times đ
It's great to read expert analysis like that, hats off to you Chad. I think the point you're making is testament to their comprehensive grounding in folk and country music where there is no reliance on drum to create layers of sound and every reverberation is melodic. I consciously recognise that guitar / bass duality in a lot of the rockabilly I listen to and it makes all the difference when you have competent musicians who don't overplay their part. A lot of modern 'rockabilly' doesn't have that grounding and is essentially 'thrash' by comparison.
Great video, Thom! You really bring life to the music with your astute explanations and expert analysis, not to mention your virtuoso playing. Thanks.
Absolutely loved this video. First visit and subbed right away. Huge thank you from an old Rk n Rler... fortunate to be 13 years old when Elvis burst on the music scene in the UK in 1956.
I just discovered your channel, and this is the first video I watched, and I've subscribed.
This was a fantastic, concise lesson, and it will give me hours of stuff to practice. Without Scotty Moore and his great rhythm section, I don't know if Elvis would've been the immediate sensation that he was. To me that early stuff is his best.
Also, what I love about the stuff you chose and this style of playing is that there's so much melody, and, even if it's not someone's style of music, this is such valuable information for anyone in a band with two guitar players. And learning how to play melodies with these simple chords opens a world that is just endless.
Thanks - great stuff!
Just want to say thank you for featuring this amazing musician!! Scotty made it look so easy! An inspiration to generations for sure. You do a kickass job playing these songs! Thanks again!
This is one of the more worthwhile guitar channels. Good on you for giving all these precise renditions.
That guitar work in "I forgot to remember to forget" is phenomenal!!!
My all time Elvis favorite is "You're Right, I'm Left, She's Gone" with Mystery Train and Good Rockin' Tonight close seconds.
Excellent work ! Thanks everyone involved in doing such a great video!
THank you for this one Thom... I had the pleasure of interviewing Scotty in Memphis many moons ago... great guitarist and a true Southern gentleman
Love these! Please keep making them :)
That's just brilliant, thanks so much for bringing so much pleasure reliving the Elvis and Scotty era.
In any style, you are always awesome and fun to see! Thank you for showing us very useful skills and hints all the time.
Just love watching all your videos! Keep it up!
I enjoyed every minute of your playing, demonstration and explanation ... brillisnt.
Great video, GP! Scotty Moore's solo on Elvis's "Too Much" is insane. Worth a listen!
Love the strat you play. Good video dude. Keep em coming.
Man it's unbelievable how much you're bringing to the table. Thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge and making it so entertaining. When I get good enough I will def sign up for your Patreon !
Undoubtedly THE best analysis of a guitarist's style that I've ever watched - full of both enthusiasm and superb demo snippets. Thumbs up, subscribed, bell rung.
I've always loved Scotty's playing. You did him full justice with this analysis.
Will now check your channel to see which other of my favourites you've talked about - probably unlikely to find Lonnie Mack (been a HUGE fan ever since '63) but there are sure to be others.
Great job.
Cool vid man!! That last Scotty Moore melody at the end was super nice I gotta learn that one
That really is a true, classic solo indeed! The song is called âI forgot to remember to forgetâ
Thoroughly entertaining video. Keep up the fantastic work. Glad I subscribed many months ago.
Fantastic playing, love the Rockabilly sound.
This is really cool. I love the lessons and tabs to help us play a little more like this.
Great stuff my Man ! love seeing these songs broken down like you do !
I could spend a day listening to you recreate the awesome artists of past and present.
I have sent a lot of people your way, posting on the Strat Talk forum... Keep up the good work.
Nice little demonstration on Scotty Moore's playing style. He's certainly one of my favourite guitar players being inspired by Chet Atkins and Merle Travis style of playing. Nice upload.
It is my understanding that they started messing around after recording other stuff at Sun and playing their jazzed up â Thatâs Alright Mama â and Sam Phillips asked them what they were doing? They said they were just fooling around , so Sam told them fool around some more and play the whole thing. He turned on the tape and when they were done he cut a few demo records of it and that is what you hear and what started it all. By the end of the week everybody was looking for that guy on Sams latest record.
You pretty much summed up what really happened. đ
the beatles covered this elvis song, they were big fans, and george harrison loved country guitar style czcams.com/video/AW0OXl3dxVw/video.html
Looking forward to trying these licks when I get home from work. Great video as always!
I love your laid back demeanor and attention to detail and the history involved.
Great stuff.

I really enjoy watching your videos, Great Job!
This video was absolutely great! It got me interested in trying to play in this style almost instantly.
Fantastic. I know every one of those licks. Beautifully done.
man, what a good video. i gotta learn every lick and chord you played here. great scotty! thanks!
Elvis Presley had some great players in the recording studio with him.
And his players had the soul depth and diversity of the king to play to.
Pure magic.
Hey Guitar pilgrim! Just found your channel and I love it! Everything about it is just excellent.
Great work brother! Love the vibe đ¶
You have real good mad motor skillz for this. Love the attack and texture nice playing man!
"I forgot to remember to forget her", lol. That gooood!
Fantastic video my friend absolutely mesmerized by it!!
wow, what an inspirational video. thank you very much. i loved the old elvis songs.
Fantastic lesson. Great job, Thom!
Soooo glad i happened across this video. An absolutely excellent examination of a great guitarist's work presented with superb skills. Great vocals as well. Thanks so much. Gonna be spending some major time on this channel. Well and truly subscribed. Wow!
As always; Great, Great, Great video!
Fantastic work Sir!...Love dem Scotty Riffs
need a second chapter of this... LOVE IT!
Just learning hybrid picking and getting into a bit of rockabilly. Those old songs really are tricky if you've never played that style before. Thanks for this great video/lesson!
Iâm not a guitarist nor do I read music, but I love music and itâs history!!! This is such a great video, which shows the greatness of the late great Scotty Moore!!! He really was amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video!!! âźïžđđœ
Wonderful videos! Learned a lot and inspired me to get to it on my guitar! Can't wait to watch more of your work! Thank you!
Inspirational...makes me want to practice, learn and play more right now!!! Thanks đ
You are a great musician and nail the licks that every guitarist should know. All these licks are incorporated in one way or another into Hendrix Harrison Knoppler SRV Page Stetzer the list goes on.. Bravo!
It's really amazing the way you dissect styles, music, the history of music through decades and so on... When I was 13 my music preference started with melodic punk rock (90s). But now I bought a guitar, I want to play it in a way that enjoy myself, and I discovering the need to master a broader spectrum of styles. And through your channel I'm discovering the roots of what I like... Because through these videos is very simple to see what you need, what techniques and tricks really matters, who do that for the first time... Priceless. Really congrats for your channel and the fresh, emotional style of your videos.
I fall in this channel. Man, these names are of course the greatest but how you play well all of these different guitaristâs work! The best guitar channel on CZcams i believe. Cinematography and storytelling are great too. And these guitar tonesâŠspectacular! Keep going please! Thank you.đđ»đđ»đđ»
Wow what a pleasure listening to you play
You always seem to surprise me with your knowledge. Thanks as always. đ¶đđ¶đžđ¶
Thanks for this video man!!
The Pilgrim kicks ass to be able to mimic and recreate 60 year old riffs and chords..thanks man...
That was great that's the kin of sound that moves you deep deep down . I loved it
*.....Your intro is so accurate and clean....*
great playing and video man. I just discovered you through a YT suggestion, and I'm glad I did....subbed! :)
Excellent lesson! Thanks for sharing.
Dang, I'll never forget the first time I saw Scotty Moore's work with Elvis! Absolutely legendary and influential guitarist in the world indeed! I was hoping you could do one of Gary Moore!
I don't play guitar but I watch all your videos :-)
@@josefbuergi Oh... Why thank ye my man. Cheers!
Scotty Moore is far moore (see what I did there?) my cup of tea but I always did admire Gary's work. A great talent, sadly gone too soon.
Really enjoyed this video m8... Came across you watching Scott Moore videos..... Subscribed đ
That was so good. Well done brother!! Thx
Thanks so much for this great video!!
What a great video! Brilliantly presented. Inspiring! I know what I'll be messing about with later. Thanks.
This was really entertaining to watch and i couldn't resist picking up my guitar and playing along with you too. very good video!
Great playing! I really enjoyed it. :)
Great video, always loved those records and the guitar work
Great video! (Amazing T-shirt btw :) )
Nice tribute and amazing playing. I absolutely love this style of playing.
Thank you for this lesson.
damn dude i love your videos! youre an amazing player. i am learning so much from you.
Great video!
Comprehensive and very well presented!
Iâve just started playing guitar with an Elvis music lover who sings with me. I need to l learn what youâre demonstrating. Thank you!
Hallo Thom, I like your Videos, specially this. Thank you.
Scotty Moore was a master of the CAGED method before they had given it a name. I also learned the CAGED method without knowing it existed...but I cannot do it with such grace! Rock on!
Really enjoyed this analysis and the playing. Relaxed and very approachable. I've el been playing for years and this has unlocked Scotty for me - so thank you. I am that 4 year old and happy now to have a key to open Scotty's Sun sessions with Elvis. Its a real shame that Tom Parker and Elvis cut the trio out in the 60s. Then Elvis took Scotty's amplified guitar in the '69 Special. A real shame. Scotty died in 2016 but was not forgotten by the greats - see Clapton and Knopfler playing with him in latte days. Thank again for this wonderful session.
Great Playing My Friend Simply Great
