Thanks for sharing!

Deryk,

Unfortunately, there is very little surviving video of Scotty soloing. I recently saw a Netflix or YouTube video but he just talks about his work with Elvis at Sam Phillips' Sun Studio in Memphis, TN and how he first met Elvis through Sam's secretary.

Apparently, Elvis, Scotty, and bass player, Bill Black(qv) were near neighbors and formed Elvis' original backing band.

Before Col. Tom Parker, Scotty tried unsuccessfully to manage the band, book their gigs, and keep honing his craft as guitarist. It began to wear him down.

I'll try to find the video.
