  The &apos;68 Comeback Special would have been a success regardless I&apos;m sure, but Scotty passing that Super 400 to Elvis and letting him play it moved the sit down session to true iconic status. So not only did Scotty get Elvis going initially, he also must be given huge credit for his resurgence.<br><br>Love the flying bass story!

  Scotty was criminally underrated as a guitarist he was always kind of looked at as the guy next to the king but boy he could play like a boss also I could watch him talk about guitars and gear all day so insightful

  It is unbelievable that Scott Moore was able to create music and riffs to fit elvis songs so easily...scotty was perfect in his backing of elvis with his guitar...Scotty Moore was a special perfect genius with guitar ...at that time there was no &nbsp;one able to produce Scotty Moore sound...Scotty Moore was perfect for elvis and elvis was perfect for Scotty ..Elvis style of singing and voice made Scotty dig deeper for sound and riffs to match the magic of Elvis voice ..rip mr guitar Moore...thanks for beat and the drive of your magic guitar

  Love hearing all this. Love Scotty&apos;s guitar playing. Elvis, for me, remains the greatest singing voice I have ever heard. I appreciate many singers, all types, jazz &amp; blues, some country, even some opera, but Elvis is #1.

  Great story! Always love listening to Scotty Moore. Keith Richards said when he first listened to Elvis, it was Scotty Moore&apos;s guitar playing that really inspired him.

  Robin Trower and many great guitarists say the first guitarist they ever heard that made them listen closely and made them want to play the guitar was Scotty Moore . !

  This man inspired a whole generation to pick up a guitar without Mr. Moore music wouldn&apos;t have been as great

  You nag Sam Phillips to call back a kid he hasn&apos;t seen in a year. You find the right tune that clicks during an &quot;audition&quot;. That tune gets only some local airtime interest until you spend time touring small southern towns for free meals. You back the kid&apos;s meteoric rise with your expert skills. You get the royal flush from Colonel Parker. You show up smiling during the &apos;68 Comeback Special and are then shown the door again. And, after all that, you graciously share wonderful stories from the first days of Rock and Roll. You are a true national treasure, Sir. RIP Scotty Moore.
