Scotty Moore

Winfield Scott "Scotty" Moore III (born December 27, 1931 near Gadsden, Tennessee) is a legendary American guitarist and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Scotty Moore learned to play the guitar from family and friends at eight years of age. Moore's recording debut occurred in 1954, when he recorded a single for Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee as part of "Doug Poindexter & the Starlite Wranglers." In July of that year, he and double bassist Bill Black played on the Sun Studios session with Elvis Presley that cut "That's All Right (Mama)", a recording regarded as a seminal event in rock and roll history.

Moore went on to a lengthy career with Presley, playing on many of his most famous recordings including "Good Rockin' Tonight", "Baby Let's Play House", "Heartbreak Hotel", "Mystery Train", "That's All Right", "Hound Dog", "Too Much" and "Jailhouse Rock".

In the 1960s, Moore released a solo album called The Guitar That Changed the World .
