Scotty Moore

The guitarist on Elvis Presley's earliest Sun sessions, Scotty Moore shaped the spare, ringing electric lines that gave rockabilly its drive. With bassist Bill Black he formed the small combo behind 'That's All Right' and the records that followed. His blend of country picking and blues phrasing became one of the most imitated guitar styles in rock. He played beside Presley through the breakthrough years that turned a Memphis trio into a national phenomenon.
