I think Elvis was a fan of the pentatonic scales, pretty popular in rock/blues
For example, in Hound Dog, he's playing mainly the Cm Pentatonic during the solo
--------------------------------------------8-11--

I'm not really sure at all if he used pentatonics a lot, I'd assume he did, but I know in that song he definitly did.
Isn't it Scotty Moore doing the solos?
They have covered his style in Guitar Techniques Magazine Issue 124 if you can find it, also Total Guitar has an Elvis spotlight this month.
Seems like a lot of Doublestops and hybrid picking apparently
It's just old rock 'n roll, mostly pentatonic indeed. Lots of 'dust my broom' kinda influences.

Ah, my mistake. I really know nothing about Elvis, hardly any songs...I'll work on that, haha.
Scotty Moore, who then hooked up with Ricky Nelson.
check out those older licks. very cool stuff.
rocking the earlier swing western
which sounded like jazz cowboy to me.
Carl Perkins and Merle Travis are at the crossroads.
James Burton - Wild Man of the Telecaster, took over later playing the guitar in Elvis' band.
Great guitarist, he is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Scott
I havn't found my tone yet, and I have no mojo....but I'm working on it :)
can u refer to any free site or resource on the net from where i can pick up the style?
im desperate :(

from this site ; look for Players Club or Lessons.
very often they have cool lessons .
sometimes just what you want.
if there were a site to learn how Moore or Burton played the world would be perfect.
i misread this and thought of lord of the rings....elvish scales 8)
