Scotty Moore was an American guitarist best known for his pivotal role in shaping the sound of rock 'n' roll. Born in 1931 in Gadsden, Tennessee, Moore started playing guitar at a young age, drawing inspiration from country and blues music. His life changed forever in 1954 when he teamed up with a young Elvis Presley at Sun Records, becoming the King of Rock 'n' Roll's first guitarist.

Moore's innovative guitar riffs on hits like "That's All Right" and "Heartbreak Hotel" left an indelible mark on music history, making him one of the most influential figures in rock guitar. Moore revolutionised rock 'n' roll with his innovative playing. As one of the pioneers of rockabilly guitar, Moore's fluid riffs and groundbreaking techniques fused country, blues, and jazz, setting the stage for the birth of a new musical era.

His work on classics like "Hound Dog" helped define the raw, electrifying sound that propelled Presley to stardom, earning Moore a lasting place in music history as one of rock’s most influential guitarists.

If the mythology of the rock’n’roll star began with Elvis Presley, then Scotty Moore, could claim to have invented the role of the rock guitarist. Moore was one of the creators of the revolutionary sound that launched Presley’s career in the mid-1950s, and the discs they cut together in the early years of Presley’s career stand today almost as the Ten Commandments of rock’n’roll.

As Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones put it: “All I wanted to do in the world was to be able to play and sound like that. Everyone else wanted to be Elvis, I wanted to be Scotty.” Moore’s great adventure with Elvis began on 5 July 1954, when Sam Phillips, boss of Sun Records, assembled Moore and the bassist Bill Black to join the 19-year-old Elvis for what was supposed to be an audition. However, their spontaneous performance of Arthur Crudup’s That’s All Right, with Presley’s voice riding confidently over Black’s thumping bass and Moore’s lithe guitar licks (enhanced by an echoing “tape slap” effect), was so fresh and powerful that Phillips released it as a single.

It was a local hit in Memphis, and the start of a rocket-powered ride. By the end of 1955, Moore, Black and Presley had been joined by the drummer DJ Fontana (their band becoming known as the Blue Moon Boys), and had become a sensational live attraction, and had released a batch of singles including Good Rockin’ Tonight, Baby Let’s Play House and Mystery Train.
