I Put A Metronome Up To All

... So Much Of What We Do Now Started In 1954 At Sun Records In Memphis Tennessee ... Those Guys Were Inventing That Stuff (rock & Roll) ... You Can Really Tell On Some Tracks ... They Were Actually Afraid At Times Of What They Were Playing. But Rock & Roll Definitely Didn't Come Before That Time; It Started Right There

Rock & Roll Is The Physical Thing That Just Comes Out Of You .. The Other Stuff You Have To Sit Down And Learn .. Once You Learn Scales And Chord Progressions, You Can Make Up Your Own Versions

I Basically Sat Down For A Month, With All The Sun Stuff I Could Find And Just Picked Out My Favorites. I Didn't Think That They Were Indicative Of '54 To '57, Although I Tried To Stay Within That Period.

It Is Hard To Play Blue Suede Shoes. I Know Everyone Has Heard It 10 Million Times, And That Makes It Even Harder To Play It, But There's A Very Laid Back Tempo On That. I Was Surprised At How Slow It Really Was.

I Didn't Want To Take The Guitar Solos Down Note-for-note, But More Or Less Use Them As A Map, And Keep All The Hooks From The Guitar Playing, And Let Myself Come Through.
