Presley could play some cowboy chords, and also some very basic R&B. You can hear his playing on "Blue Moon"(an early B-side/album cut), and the AM radio version of "Love Me Tender". In the '68 comeback special he does "Baby What You Want Me to Do" and cops a few Jimmy Reed licks on Scotty Moore's big jazz box, a Super 400, I think. Singing was his strong point, so he learned enough guitar to get by when he was starting out, but as soon as he got famous, his people could and did hire the very best accompanists and Elvis only played guitar when he felt like it.
He's the reason I've been doing gigs for sixty-plus years. He was on Jackie Gleason or Red Skelton's TV show before Ed Sullivan and I saw the power of live rock and roll. I knew in an instant what I wanted to do.

Of all the movies he did, Elvis said that his favorite was King Creole. Having seen it myself, I can certainly see why — it’s a terrific movie! I’ve also got the original soundtrack for G.I. Blues on vinyl in my catalogue. (I don’t call it a collection; collecting is for stamps, not music.) It belonged to my late grandfather, who I think was about the same age as The King of Rock and Roll himself.
