Taylor is a gifted technician without a doubt but Scotty is a supreme musician who changed music.forever. Those amazing Sun records are nothing short of miraculous with Bill and Scotty (later DJ too) backing Elvis to perfection. Any budding guitarist could do worse than listen to his performance on I Forgot To Remember To Forgot and try to reproduce it. "Where were you in 1956 when I needed you?" Mercifully and fortunately for rock n roll - nowhere to be seen! In the end what counts and what you remember is the music - not the clever twiddling. Though some musicians have it all - Charlie Parker is one that springs to mind.
I'm ashamed I've never heard of Martin Taylor. He seems like a really nice chap, but the first part of the interview was very obvious name dropping. It just comes across really strange. It may put people off which is a shame because there were some good bits later.
Scotty every rock guitarist ever born owes you a debt of gratitude. You are the true original. THE greatest guitarist of all time.
People like Scotty make me proud to be a member of the human race xxx
Scotty Moore is my hero on a guitar, now and forever
Martin Taylor loves to hear himself talk.
a what great take
Scottys laugh when he is called a living legend...

rocknroll royalty
WISH THIS GUY WOULD SHUT UP AND LET SCOTTY TELL HIS STORY.
HE IS A TRUE LIVING ROCK LEGEND...
If the interviewee isn't doing the majority of the talking there's a problem...
Can't sit still while Scotty's pickin' his ol' gee-tar!
