Georgy Zhukov Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Known for being Elvis Presley's guitarist until 1964. Pretty much influenced anyone who picked up a guitar around that time. Keith Richards, Bruce Springsteen, George Harrison among them. He was 84. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/scotty-moore-dies/ Edited June 29, 2016 by Georgy Zhukov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 He's a genius. This chap was George Harrison's god. Everything about him was great. His solos were perfection. Blue Moon of Kentucky for instance - you can sing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Keef worshiped him too. He said "Everyone else wanted to be Elvis, I wanted to be Scotty" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Just found out about this and came back here to say WTF. If you ain't big, you're not dying this year or seems. A giant of influence. The other seed of Rock and Roll guitar along with Chuck Berry. R.I.P. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of the least rated relative to what they actually achieved, i mean they really are the gold standard, them and The Crickets too, although moreso Elvises lot. Elvis was the selling point but it weren't just looks, us boys are into it cuz of how it sounds and the sound was really something, thats the heart of rock n roll, the swinging drummer, the staunch earthy bass and...well theres no real way to describe what Scotty Moore was up to.

We lost another legend. He may have not influenced your favorite shredder, but he influenced every notable guitarist from the 60's, 70's and 80's.

DieselDaisy Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 There is only Fontana left, who by the way is the greatest drummer that has ever lived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Band music is the key to good rock n roll drumming, it's simple, it's big and most importantly, it swings. If you could pin point the first veering off the tracks of the rock n roll thing it's when your drummers stopped swinging. It's why without Charlie Watts you don't have a Rolling Stones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 This song captures the early Elvis band in full flight, The first ten seconds - drum roll, Black's descending bass, Scotty - might just be the greatest moment in rock n' roll.

Also Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, Chet Atkins, Bo Diddley, B.B. King and T-Bone Walker. Before we had Clapton, Hendrix, Richards and the rest of them, we had their influences.
