I played a gig with a Nashville Elvis inpersonater but we had the authentic Jordanaires. I had to learn the show in a couple of days and did not learn all of it. On Love Me Tender,one of the Jordanaires gave me chord numbers with his fingers behind his back. I have been told that the Jordanaires were one of the first to introduce the Nashville number system in the fifties. Maybe you could do an episode on showing your viewers a typical Nashville legal pad chart from a demo. It saves time,quite a bit.Good show!!!
@@RobertFairweatherMusic Yes I was flattered and very grateful that he helped me get through the show. By the way, the Jordanaires traveled in a nice,newer Lincoln Continental
The Jordanaires were mind bogglingly great. My favorite number of theirs with Elvis is Beach boy Blues from Blue Hawaii. That high falsetto that one of the Jordanaires is so good you can hear Elvis laughing!!!
Wow. I just saw this Elvis movie yesterday and wondered who did all the excellent authentic sounding guitar work. I didn’t get to scour the credits afterwards. So here we are and I’m not surprised it was JD. So well done. Just damned impressive on how accurately each period and style was performed. Simo is just a killer. I would have liked to hear a bit more about doing the Burton stuff but all very interesting. The movie is quite good; some quick and jerky scenes and modernized music overlays were a bit over the top for my preference, but otherwise overall fine movie. The lead actor was superb. The ending performance of Unchained Melody, real footage of Elvis, is something everyone should see. Indeed very powerful and sad. Thanks Zach and JD for this great interview.
At 18:53 he talks of his friend in NY that has Scotty’s actual amp. Thats the same guy that I think owns my original Fender Twin Reverb Prototype that Walter Carter sold for me. I have a TH-cam video of it if anyone is interested in the history of the amp. Chet & everybody used it at one time. Just look up Ross Southerland Fender Twin Reverb Prototype. Loved this video. JD is cool to talk to & is a great player!
AND YEAAAAA! YOU SAID IT! ELVIS IS COCA-COLA! HES DEFINITLY THE MOTTS, AS WE SAY IT AROUND MY PARTS! CANT WAIT TO SEE IT, NOW THAT I KNOW YOUR DOING THE GUITAR WORK...
JD Simo IS live music. He Shines when playing live like few players do. His musical knowledge is DEEP. He SO deserved to be the guitar on this film. If you haven't listened to HIS music - do yourself a favor and partake. He is the real thing.
Im watching this again.....and more then the elvis/guitar talk....i cant help to keep thinking....you guys are good friends....i see it feel it...i recently lost my best friend a couple yrs ago, in an accident, we were as close as friends could be, and you guys remind me of he and i.....the video, shows you both love eachothers success...And that stumps eveything at the end of the day....My friend was the reason i got back into music recently, he use to say, JOHNNNNN wtf is wrong with you, but i wanted to be wild and an idiot.....but even though he isnt hear, hes the one that inspired me to straighten out my life, and i just started arranging all the songs i wrote, to make a long awaited blues album.....had to inject that, its rare to see good friends like this today in this crazy world.....and this video cant hide that fact.......I know ill play with you guys one day......just go easy on me lol GOD BLESS! congrats again, im definitly sensing a well deserved grammy in your near future J.D. keep pluckin!
@@AskZac ty sorry if i came across morbid...justfelt appropriate at the moment...looking forward to all your upcoming shows...im a tele/ les paul sometimes strat and335 guy.....Just got a K=LINE its like playing a really good early 60s tele...amazing....If you havent checked one out, i would urge you to do so...ty
Thank you both for keeping musical history alive. It is such a pleasure to hear about the past greats and to rediscover so much wonderful music. I agree with JD about how Elvis has tragically been relegated to a tabloid feature. His musical and cultural impact was so much more.
JD is a beast of a player and come so far to being one of the most well rounded players out there he's very humble and kind! great spirit! congratulations JD
I really admire & respect JD. His raw talent, musical sensibility, attitude .... the whole nine yards. He's the musician equivalent of a successful business entrepreneur ..... the vision, the 100% commitment to that vision, and the courage to work through all the pitfalls to reach his goals. I also love all the past guitar and amp reviews and demo's he was involved with. There was this one episode of a Premier Guitar "rig rundown" of sorts, where he was with John Bollinger, walking through all the intimate details of his Marshall amp's .... man, that was super entertaining, and just fun for a guitarist to watch. JD is a wonderful and valuable presence in the musical world. Best Rgds.
I didn't know he was doing the guitar work for the movie. I might watch it now. I'm not a huge Elvis fan but I do dig the guitar playing. He had some great lead players and it's some of the first stuff I was taught. Awesome to see JD get some recognition. Thanks for this interview.
What a fantastic guy, brilliant player, Elvis would have been proud to have JD as his guitarist, he has blown me away, brilliant Interview. I also love James Burton and Scotty Moore. I love that Gibson he played on the intro, what a powerful sound.
Speaking of Scottie Moore I have a VERY clean Gibson GA90 in the shop right now. That's the amp that Scotty played on the real early stuff with 6- 8" speakers. Speakers are gonna need reconing but it has a speed that really nails the rockabilly thang, Something about those small cones moving in tandem, Pretty cool.
The "caricature" aspect of Elvis was, imo, mostly Tom Parker's legacy. He literally used Elvis as a cash machine, booking him in movie after movie, having him do music that increasingly Elvis was totally not cool with. Especially after Elvis came back from his military stint in Germany, he began to realize that the music world had changed, and he felt left behind. Elvis's troubles with prescription drugs was hugely exasperated by this relentless schedule he was booked into, which he was not happy with. I just LOVE that late '60's "in the round" live show he did. THAT was the real Elvis. I was like 15-16 yo when i saw that performance with his old playing buddies, and admittedly, i hadn't known that much about him, but after that show, i "got it". Elvis's premature death is a monumental tragedy, and loss, to the music world. Just imagine where he would be today had he lived.
JD - Zac, great interview and good to see you guys together talking about JD's awesome contribution to the movie. Zac, I haven't seen you since we went to see Johnny A with Brad & Kimberly Pasley, JD, you and I. Inna and I are going to see the Movie tonight with JD's Parents really looking forward to seeing it and hearing JD. Zac, I have watched several of your interviews and tech talks, you always do a great job. I have been meaning to reach out to you a while ago to let you know I really appreciate all you are doing with your channel. Last but not least a big congratulations to you JD, you away's knock it out of the park!! Love ya man and hope to see you again soon! Mike R
Zak, I just learned recently that Jim Messina now lives in Nashville. May I suggest he would make a great guitar-oriented interview. Although he plays Strats now, in the day he made a great contribution to Tele players … and what a great tone and style!
@@AskZac Apology. Didn't intend to sidetrack or detract. My bad. As always, wonderful, detailed interview. Great story, humble guy, and all the details we love.
Yes, I also have an GA-SC64 speaker in my -66 DR. Perfect fit. Do you remember when I asked if you had tried one in a DR Zac?🙂 It was in your episode on the Vintage 30 in a DR. Great episode this! I have a Dano myself, but a Strat one.
The Showtime special mini-series that Priscilla produced in the '80s is one of the best of its kind. I think it's called young Elvis beautifully done by the way. I was aware of Music at the age of three my dad was a professional musician. And loved music very much and knew what was good. He was my music educator. I remember Elvis when I was a tiny kid and he was appreciated by my family like millions of others. His rockabilly era of course is my favorite. I won't say how I feel about Parker but I think the movie does him Justice in this way. He was a carny and he was a bad man actually with a gambling problem. But I think Elvis would agree if he were alive today forgive them Father for they know not what they do. The movie was very well done and I was unaware of the Great artist that were involved in the soundtrack. Thank you for a great video. And I love what Elvis said in the movie to Little Richard. This man's the king of rock and roll. I'd really like to believe he did say that and maybe he did. And I love the scene with BB King. I met BB King and I was so tongue-tied I could barely talk to him. He was also a wonderful gentleman and if it's true that Elvis did know him. Elvis was a better man for it. Well thanks for everyone involved in posting this video and in making the movie. Stay well and God bless.
Alright, now I need to see this movie. Did not have a good feeling about it prior to this, but it sounds like they had the right attitude and people in place to get the music part right. I'm one of those idiots that will pick it apart if it strays too far from what an embarrassing amount of Elvis immersion (not just the Guralnick books, though those are pretty complete) has told me is the truth. Now I know that even if I don't like the movie, I'll love the music parts. Thanks Zac, and JD! (begins researching Rickenbacker amps...)
I caught the brief exchange regarding the somewhat unique position of the humbucker. Can someone school me a little on why having it further back a bit like that is a good thing? And, why don't they do all of them like that (i.e. Albert Collins and Graham Coxon sig models, etc.)? Thanks.
Another Great Show!! Thanks for all the insight on great players that are behind the scenes and hidden in studios or touring guys for hire that are great musicians!
Zac, Happy new year. If you can get this message to JD. Next time he come through Philadelphia, he needs to come by to listen to my Deluxe in tandem with a Theile cabinet...... my 66-67, has a very unique ballsy sound... wont break up until about 6-7. Factory JBL too. let him know, I can give you my contact info in a PM.
Fascinating interview, learned a great deal. Greatly enjoy your site. J.D. had a Tele with him, wish he'd have played some James Burton things he played for the 'Vegas' part of the movie. Wonder James contributed anything to the making of the movie? I believe all the other players he mentioned have passed away. P.S. I just subcribed.... Jerry Walker.
If Elvis had caught GAS- guitar Acquisition Syndrome, he could have found something to focus on and put all that hurt behind him. If you are searching for the perfect Telecaster, you have a dream that motivates you! On another matter, I saw a 1953 Gibson ES 295 in the wonderful One World vintage guitar shop in Austin, Texas back in 1997- all original with P90s but somebody had misguidedly set a rhinestone into the pickguard. I mused "Scotty Moore" then I thought, "I have to lug this baby about" and I got sensible but it was not a silly price and it was a great chance to own something special.
What is hissing there in the background, particularly in the gear section. Is it the Deluxe Reverb? Seems to be typical then for this kind of amp. This here is an old or reissue?
Thanks Zac for shortest respond.. So what about the hissing? Live maybe bearable, but living room or recordingwise? Other Fenders can be quite quiet. Please let me know Your experience. Lutz greeting from Berlin!
JD I like everything you should play but the most important thing that I like is that you are original most musicians today JD can’t write a song if you held a pistol to their heads I’m just saying
The comparison between Elvis and the Beatles is totally wrong ! Elvis may have started Rock n Roll , but the Beatles have survived and still sell ! Elvis has died out ! Young people know and like the Beatles ! But Elvis doesn’t even matter to the young . Everyone should study him though.
Some great insights on Elvis. I saw him play at the Greensboro Coliseum in 1977 not long before he died and it was so sad. He was flailing and failing.
I played a gig with a Nashville Elvis inpersonater but we had the authentic Jordanaires. I had to learn the show in a couple of days and did not learn all of it. On Love Me Tender,one of the Jordanaires gave me chord numbers with his fingers behind his back. I have been told that the Jordanaires were one of the first to introduce the Nashville number system in the fifties.

That's a surreal experience!

So great to see JD getting the recognition he deserves. Absolutely great guy and what an incredible, musical player. I could listen to him all day
I saw JD tonight in Springfield Illinois. He’s a gentleman and such an impressive guitar player. 🤘🏽
Amazing work for both you and JD Zac. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks to you my trusted friend.
Wow. I just saw this Elvis movie yesterday and wondered who did all the excellent authentic sounding guitar work. I didn’t get to scour the credits afterwards. So here we are and I’m not surprised it was JD. So well done. Just damned impressive on how accurately each period and style was performed. Simo is just a killer. I would have liked to hear a bit more about doing the Burton stuff but all very interesting. The movie is quite good; some quick and jerky scenes and modernized music overlays were a bit over the top for my preference, but otherwise overall fine movie. The lead actor was superb. The ending performance of Unchained Melody, real footage of Elvis, is something everyone should see. Indeed very powerful and sad. Thanks Zach and JD for this great interview.
Well Done JD and ZAC
For a fantastic write up . Very interesting and inspirational for up coming guitarist .
The movie sucked! The music was fantastic.
Man this made me want to go see the Elvis movie even more. JD is definitely at the very top of my list of favorite players.
At 18:53 he talks of his friend in NY that has Scotty’s actual amp. Thats the same guy that I think owns my original Fender Twin Reverb Prototype that Walter Carter sold for me. I have a TH-cam video of it if anyone is interested in the history of the amp. Chet & everybody used it at one time. Just look up Ross Southerland Fender Twin Reverb Prototype. Loved this video. JD is cool to talk to & is a great player!
That amp was incredible. A true piece of history and LOUD!!! Loved it! Just wish I had the money to have bought it myself.
So happy J.D. got a gig like the Elvis movie.....He deserves it, and one of the best! happy for you kid!
AND YEAAAAA! YOU SAID IT! ELVIS IS COCA-COLA! HES DEFINITLY THE MOTTS, AS WE SAY IT AROUND MY PARTS! CANT WAIT TO SEE IT, NOW THAT I KNOW YOUR DOING THE GUITAR WORK...
Great work Zac and JD! I am happy to see the recognition JD deserves for sure! Thanks Zac for the show!
You bet!
For fans of American roots guitar music (and aren’t we all?), you have the greatest channel on TH-cam. Thanks Zac and JD
Best interview in forever
You have an amazing channel! JD is just seems like a wonderful person and obviously a phenomenal player. Once again thank you, this was great!
Much appreciated!
Thanks for this Zac. JD is such a humble guy.. a humble guy with a great talent. Rare these days. Great job on the interview.
Thank you
Oh man - looking forward to this! Thanks Mr. Zac!

so awesome. cant think of another more deserving cat to have gotten such a killer gig. great interview zac! really great.
Great interview. Such a treat to listen to this. Thanks!
Our pleasure!
That Sure Vocalmaster PA stirred up some 60s gig memories.
Great discussion Zac & JD, thank you!
Awesome interview. Well done. Thank you!
Thanks for listening
My favorite living guitar player & my favorite (but sadly dead) singer.
I love watching videos with JD in them.

Can you ask JD what inspired the bathroom sessions
Love Scotty Moore. Now I have a good reason to watch the movie. My favorite Elvis song is PEACE IN THE VALLEY, from the tv appearance.
Love Elvis can't wait to see this movie . Why didn't they get James Burton involved ?
What a treat, excellent content!
A Great Episode, thanks Zac !
I just love this guy.
Inspiring talk! JD speaks, I listen. Got a 77 crybaby w that inductor for $99 shipped immediately after this video😎🤙. Thanks for the good knowledge.
Always thought JD was a hidden guitar/singing titan, glad to see him grow up," for lack of a better term, into a more original version of himself.
Absolutely fucking fantastic interview.

As you strum and move from near the neck, to near the bridge, it gets brighter.
Zac, been using Alejandro ceramics with my Bandmaster for years. Sounds great with my Marshall as well. Great replacement for old Jensen's.
Thought the movie was great and yes! I wondered who played those guitar parts. Knew of JD for about 10 years. What a player
Another Great Show!! Thanks for all the insight on great players that are behind the scenes and hidden in studios or touring guys for hire that are great musicians!
You bet!
Zac,
Happy new year. If you can get this message to JD.

Great great great! JD! TCB 💜💜💜
Just ordered some pure nickle strings from Stringjoy in same gauges as an Ernie Ball 10-46 set. Less expensive when you buy bulk...;-)
Very cool!
Its time for JD to get the props (and cash) he deserves!!!
I am not a presence. I am usually quite invisible. Thanks for the great content, Zac.
An invisible bear? I am going to have nightmares.

😎 Thanks JD Zac ⚓️ does anyone mention Mr. Presley’s musical genius? I understand Presley produced the first albums after his return from Germany. 🎸

Scotty Moore would be proud of his picking
Zac..... that would be a great show about why Fuzzs dont play well with the other kids.
thats how a man plays guitar!
“In hindsight I was in a weird place and my relationship with Red was never good or healthy.” Worst boyfriend ever.
God that was good, in so many ways. 😀
Thanks! 😃
JD mentioned he didn't own another Tele. What happened to his old RS Slab 59 that he played with Don???
He sold it
@@AskZac Wow. Surprising. I don't think I could sell something that I had that many hours with. He played a lot of notes on that guitar. 🙂
JD I like everything you should play but the most important thing that I like is that you are original most musicians today JD can’t write a song if you held a pistol to their heads I’m just saying
who really knows Zac knows.... so, ask Zac
JD could play Julian Schnabel in an art documentary.
JD Simo providing the guitar work for the movie is the only redeeming factor for this dumpster fire that is Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis".
You spelled his name right!
the movie bombed
It is #1. I want that bomb!
Nothing but respect foe JD but they chose the wrong guy. Should have used Joel Patterson.
Joel would have done a great job, but am partial to JD.
The comparison between Elvis and the Beatles is totally wrong ! Elvis may have started Rock n Roll , but the Beatles have survived and still sell ! Elvis has died out ! Young people know and like the Beatles ! But Elvis doesn’t even matter to the young . Everyone should study him though.
My kids love Elvis as much as the Beatles.
I hated Elvis. Never got him.
Some great insights on Elvis. I saw him play at the Greensboro Coliseum in 1977 not long before he died and it was so sad. He was flailing and failing.
