Murph Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Without Scotty Moore, Elvis would have not been the same. I truly believe he was as much of the sound of Rock and Roll as any single living person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser Bill Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Scotty is the reason I play guitar. I was 11 when I first heard Elvis. I had no idea it was the man behind Elvis making that wonderful sound. R.I.P Mr Moore you were a pioneer and a force to be reckoned with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretplay Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The first LP I ever bought was Presley's first and the Scotty Moore playing just blew me away. He must be the most influentially guitarist of all time. May he rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Say what you want about Elvis... to me it was the rolling sound of Scotty Moore that made those songs pop. And of course he was always a Gibson guy. Here's a cool interview that's pretty recent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Thanks for posting that, surf. Nice interview. The DVD they mention near the start must be worth checking-out. For any of the "London and Parts South" bunch Martin Taylor is performing tomorrow evening in Sevenoaks. I'm guessing he might perform a few of Scotty's numbers by way of a tribute. Pip.

jdgm Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 R.I.P. to one of the original rock guitarists - he had an amazing life. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHenry Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Sad news indeed. There's a rather nice article in the Guardian newspaper that highlights Scotty's importance in creating the modern lead guitar player's role: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jun/29/scotty-moore-guitarist-elvis-presley-early-hits-dies-aged-84 RIP Scotty.
