Scales used: C minor pentatonic (C-Eb-F-G-Ab); C major
pentatonic (C-D-E-G-A); C Btues Scate (C-Eb-f-fil-O-Ab).
Significant added tones: Dfi (measure 5);A (measures 6-1i);
B (measure 7).
Solo signatures: Mixture of single-note and dyad textures;
double-stop bends; blues; country and swing phrasing within a rock'n'
roll context.
Performance notes: The single-note portions exploit a wider range of
the guitar than had been previously found in most early rock 'n' roll
single-note solos. These occur in the third, fifth, and eighth positions.
Though Scotty Moore generally played with a thumbpick and three
fingers, this sleek single-note solo sounds like he might be using only
the thumbpick or a flatpick.
Sound: Gibson L-5 archtop hollowbody electric guitar with P-90
pickups and Gretsch heavy-gauge strings; small, slightly overdriven
combo tube amps: Fender "TV-front" tweed Bassman or custommade
Echo-Sonic amp built by Ray Butts.
