How to Play Heartbreak Hotel 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 used to listen to this song as a kid - years ago, so glad I finally learned how to play it 50 or so years later!

Pure legend, proud to shake his hand

I like how he sums it up at 11:40 "...then all hell broke loose, didn't it?" Funny.

[@cardozofran]

The authentic guitar lesson for this beautiful song! God bless you!

34:20 Scotty says that’s all just a simple little.. not knowing in 1956 that simple little riff would start the beginning of the biggest entertainer the world as ever known

Scotty o grande guitarrista de Elvis no começo de sua carreira, no entanto, Elvis era tremendamente diverso em todos os sons, de modo que depois de Scotty também fez sucessos estrondosos como ninguém mais fará haja visto o show do Hawai com mais de 1,5 bilhões de assistentes.

[@jamesadcock5235]

Was there a acoustic guitar on this song. The ending is more simple than i thought

[@johnhumburg1828]

We need people to look into classical playing techniques, infact, I think we need instruments back and not funky sounding computers producing electrical music!

[@ahs314]

Exactly. Digital instrumentations can go to hell!

[@americanstreet8704]

Rip

[@stege9979]

Scotty Mooore..Goos hiimsrlfs.

[@DianeNorman-fh6gq]

Does anyone know how old Scotty is here?

[@larryyouguessame6078]

Is that guitar tuned to Eb?

[@johnvoyce]

Shouldn't the solo 43:46 be a lot of upstrokes ?

[@imannonymous7707]
