Now retired after southern rock bar bands (with little craft) for decades & just playing instro surf now for enjoyment. But that has led back to rockabilly, the need for basic technique and wonderful tunes like this one. Thank you for sharing. Many can do, but few can truly teach, and you are doing a fine job at both. (Your approach and civility actually evokes Hank Marvin's gentlemanly way I've heard in informal discussions of his echo & other technique.) Keep having fun; we are certainly beneficiaries.
I really like the way you explain things. Most guys that have been playing a long time forget to explain the little details. Thank you for sharing. Very articulate.
Learning this song was a life changing event and took my playing to another level, after years of seemingly going round in circles. I can now play all those wonderful Travis picked tunes like Dear prudence, Buckets of Rain, Julia, He's a Mighty Good Leader and many more that I thought I would never be able to play in a million years. Thank you so much Adrian for all your hard work, may the heavens rain glorious jewels upon thee! 💯
Brilliant lesson; as always. Thank you yet again Adrian. You are the quintessence of British gentlemanry and a fine teacher and wonderfully gifted player. My hat off to you Sir!
Simply excellent.....I bow to you. My favorite Elvis song when he was 20 years old, and with Bill Black also playing, this is truly, great. Scottie....His best.
Played since 1965 and have never had a better teacher or friend passing on information on a song. Very accurate, and guitar tuned and attenuated perfectly. Your a real professional.
Sir, I have recently started on the Travis Style and Mystery Train is my chosen victim. I have studied about every video lesson available, including a couple paid sites, and have gained some progress. BUT without question, your lesson here is the best, clearest, most patient, most organized, best video, and plain best instruction I've found for this tune and the style. Great job. Thank you and I will be seeking more.
I am in total awe of your ability to break this down, explain it clearly, and play it correctly. You are a true professional. Thanks so much for sharing your skill and your talent.
Thanks, Adrian. You get straight to the point and your instruction is lucid. Only TH-cam lessons I have ever had the patience to stick with all the way through.
I as an older guitar player fully appreciate just how authentic this is - producing the relaxed train style feel to it - very good. The best track from the Sun album. I was also emotionally moved that you as a young player felt this was an important song to add to any guitar player's repetoire. This was pioneering stuff that still reverberates around the world - pun intended. I felt the high point of your lesson was the close ups of your right hand.
This is the best, most well-explained lesson of Mystery Train available in the known universe. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great explanation, excellent resolution, taught slowly enough, sounds great - great playing!
Thanks a mill for such a thorough lesson. Haven't learnt a tune since my 20's and this has got me hooked on learning more Scotty Morris numbers and that finger picking style. Your lessons have made this lockdowm more bearable so thanks bud. Stay well.
this is the perfect guitar lesson format.....the clip gets right to the music with a nice run through of the piece....then the details, point by point....great stuff...
Not sure if you heard the news but we lost Scotty Moore yesterday. : ( I heard it on the radio in a 3 second news blip after longer news blips and just before a commercial break. I was like, "Wait, wait, what, no!", and had to look it up online to be sure I'd heard right. He deserves so much more than a 3 second news flash. So many great songs and such a big impact on so many of us who love music. Thanks for helping to keep that great music alive. Be well. Peace.
Scotty was such a humble man. He should been the biggest guitarist ever. Sadly, Scotty never earned much money. He didn't earn a dime from the original Elvis recordings at Sun Studios, Sam Phillips didn't pay him.
It’s been only three years since we lost him, but it seems like forever 😪😪😪😪 I remember, there was a three-second news flash about Scotty’s death, and I felt it wasn’t cool! Like, come on! A three-second news flash for the most influential guitarist ever?!
@@raphaelrousso7124 I was in a little rock band in 59 And our guitarist was 16 He practised like day and night to perfect scotties licks.He could play them note for note in the end.I was the singer and one of his favs was Presley just because as it had a quite complicated solo which our guitarist got off prefect .He met and played with Scotty many many years later .Our guitarists name was ALBERT LEE.
Adrian, your lessons are a joy to watch! Your playing is fantastic and you do a wonderful job of explaining what is going on... really ideal teacher! Thanks so much for all these great videos!
You taught me something new. I'm 73 and still learning. Thank you very much Adrian. Loved Scotty's guitar playing since I was a kid. He really is what made Elvis great. Ron from Annapolis MD
Ronald Trivanovic I’m 43 and if I live as long as you l will still be trying to play the guitar 😂 been paying everyday for over 25 years and everyday I learn something new. Only 12 notes and impossible to master. Lifelong labor of love ❤️
I started learning this song last year - it was a long journey having grown up with Elvis as a kid and hating that music most of my life (familiarity breeds contempt) - I finally made it okay to appreciate Scotty and his influence on the likes of Hank, who influenced Gilmour etc. But once I started to try to learn this song I put the guitar down for a year. Turns out this is a really unique approach to the guitar - and like you said - a substantial archetype for rock-and-roll. You do it justice and I might just pick it up again under your inspiration.
that was a great rendition. I am an Elvis enthusiast and rares the cover or replay of one of his tunes.I think this is one of his very best. You were true to the sound of the original.
i' m watching from corsica , i like very much the quality and clarity (?)of your tutos. thanks for sharing and especially race with the devil . thanks again and long live rock n' roll !
Thanks man! You're a very good instructor, know how to explain. The selection of great guitar tunes is also very helpful for me to expand in a different way. I´m autodidact and appreciate your work a lot. Thanks again!
Hi Adrian, another great lesson enabling anyone seriously interested in the guitar to really improve their playing. Always love hybrid picking whether it be the late, great Scotty Moore or that man in the beret, the still blooming Richard Thompson. Over the years I've learned a great deal from many excellent postings on TH-cam and the related links to the sites of countless players/teachers. Without descending into 'brown nose' territory, I honestly can't think of any site that is better than yours. I , along with many others no doubt, am very thankful for your generosity in providing us with such superb material. Looking forward, if you ever get the time, to see more with your Tele - I've got the same axe myself. Cheers.
This lesson is different gravy. I do believe, Scotty Moore himself would struggle to teach his own stunning guitar part as effortlessly as you have my friend. People who want to teach would do themselves no harm by watching this, gentleman. 10/10 :)
He breaks this figure down very nicely. I mainly play jazz and a little classical, so this rockabilly comping has some unfamiliar intricacies. This an awesome lick. It sounds mad cool and fun as hell to play! Thanks Adrian!
Adrian - a huge thank you for saving me hours of ineffectual second guessing notes, timing and ... every aspect of this classic song. Being inspired to revisit songs from yesterday is sooo rewarding and enjoyable and with your considerable assistance it is fab making progress. Love the lessons and the playing. Keep going :) Oh ... and stay safe of course.
Absolutely brilliant lesson. Our little band have started doing a few rockabilly numbers and trying to get Scotty Moore's work down correctly proves just how good he really is and how ahead of his time he was 60 odd years ago. If you've time, a couple of numbers I'd love to see your take on is Scotty's work on My Baby Left Me and Hound Dog. The start of Scotty's 2nd Hound Dog solo has me completely baffles. Delighted to subscribe and see what other gems you've got lined up. Terry
Just like to add my twopenath worth,,,thank you for such a detailed lesson,,,thank you for yr time and patience very much appreciated,,,wishing u all the very best take care cheers Mac
Personally i think the best on You tube and out there online... I`m so into Rockabilly since 13 and i`m 54 now, so you an imagine when i saw this, and then the Robert Johnson finger picking... i can see your a great coach and also Rock n Roll historian.. With pick and fingers this is new to me, but i`ll crack on, the thumb pick may be a little investment, we`ll see.. thanks so much... Micky in Portsmouth
Your lessons are brilliant. I've been practicing "This Charming Man" for about a week now and it's just about there. Thanks a lot. I'm sure you get hundreds of requests but if you ever get round to doing "Guitar Man" by Jerry Reed and covered by Elvis that would be great. The intro is so cool. Cheers!
You are easily, my favourite guitar teacher on the net, and I have watched hundreds.

I love how you explain so much detail. Learning to play is neurolingustic, so the technical helps the brain meld it all into happening. Thank you.
I really like the way you explain things. Most guys that have been playing a long time forget to explain the little details. Thank you for sharing. Very articulate.
No matter what style guitar you are playing, you make it look SO... easy. You look so relaxed. I always enjoy you video lessons very much.

I LOVE IT.👏🏽🙏🏼

Yes, just heard. Really sad news. You're right, it seems to be very under-reported for such an influential and legendary figure in music.
Scotty was such a humble man. He should been the biggest guitarist ever. Sadly, Scotty never earned much money. He didn't earn a dime from the original Elvis recordings at Sun Studios, Sam Phillips didn't pay him.
how i think you're right . thanks and greetings

Now this, is probably the best informative/instructive video clip, I have ever seen. Very, very well done. Kudos to you and keep up the good work!
You are a fantastic guitar player and teacher. Thanks for taking the time to produce such great lessons.

Wow. Great playing, great sound, AND great teaching.🎸
Your really good at teaching .Very clear and very easy to digest . Some TH-cam teachers are 100 mph but you do it beautifully. Thanks for this . 👍
Excellent teacher and best tutoring on this song. Thank you very much.
Thanks Don-Angela, glad you enjoyed the video.
Did anybody notice that he was playing the guitar unplugged?!
YOU are one incredible guitar player! Man, love listening to you play

The best so far to Play Elvis 🎸

Awesome, thank you for sharing your talent! Fantastic tone and guitar too.
Loved watching this years ago, struggling along on my acoustic… but now I have an Epi, yay. Great tuition and ‘can do’ . Thank you 🙏 👍👍

So glad I found this lesson always loved that intro riff 🎸🎸!!...well explained once more..
