That Gretsch is beautiful.

Nice job. I hope to see your channel grow. A follow up vid for the other parts of the song would be awesome. Especially the Setzer version.

Thanks! Yeah defiantly I'll do a follow up video. Working on the TAB so I can included that too.

Jerry Garcia Band absolutely murders this song. I would love to see a version of Jerry’s riff for it. This video helped a ton though, thanks man

So appreciate this video.. been trying to get this style for a while.. was feeling very spastic.. turns out I was missing hitting the E on the 4th string with my thumb .. now I’m on the path .. thank you so much ..

Hey..... Harder than it looks, but very nice demo! I'd like to hear more about the riff when you slide up to the A.

Enjoy watching this picking… Scotty Moore a legend and Setzer is fabulous…! ❤️💯👍

Great lesson, sub added

good analysis, Brian didn’t just copy Scotty, as many do. he improved this classic riff and made the sound even richer

Setzer is awesome, but you can't improve that original riff. Great lesson.

Great lesson, but it's not one-to-one the Scotty Moore version. If you listen carefully to Scotty's MYSTERY TRAIN, you can hear a slight tonal change in the basic lick: in the first measure Scotty uses the fourth, third and second string (as you did in your lesson), but in the second measure Scotty uses the fourth, second and first string instead of repeating the fourth, third and second string . And then Scotty repeats both measures the same way...

Thanks! I will be adding tabs to future videos. I added a link to the tab for this in the description. And here it is as well: theteledynes.com/guitar-tabs

Scott Moores version is the choo choo train getting started, chugga, chugga, chugga, ..Setzers version is the train picking cadence chugga, chugga , chugga , chugga , chugga, chugga ,chugga ..Choo choooooo. They sound great totally together !!

scotty did use a thumb pick.....what a player....feel scotty and elvis were pretty close to 50/50 on their recordings....must of been something from up above that they got together

I saw an interview where Scotty said that Elvis would always just play straight major chords to everything, no minors, no sus, etc etc, while Scotty played the actual chords as written, but together, it worked.

@@chairlesnicol672 A type of chord variation, I'll let Wikipedia explain - A suspended chord (or sus chord) is a musical chord in which the (major or minor) third is omitted and replaced with a perfect fourth or a major second.[1] The lack of a minor or a major third in the chord creates an open sound, while the dissonance between the fourth and fifth or second and root creates tension. 🙂 Basically, Elvis could play guitar, but he wasn't a guitarist, he played at a basic level.

Sounds good slowed a bit

I kinda like James burtons version lol

Jerry Garcia has a nice take on the riff as well.

There is only ONE version of "Mystery Train", not two --- and it's the Scotty version. If you want to sing and play "Mystery Train" do the Scotty. Setzer is doing something else, an inferior variation that just doesn't sound as good. Scotty's version is perfect, end of story. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

The Elvis-Scotty-Moore version of "Mystery Train" is also my favourite one, it's much more relaxed and more melodic than the Brian Setzer version. Most of the cover-versions are played much too fast for my taste.

Yeah but his version is a more slower funkier thing, still very cool but not really rockabilly. Danny Gatton and James Burton also have some pretty crazy versions too. Much respect to JG thanks for the comment.
