[N] [E] Alright, I'm gonna try and show you how I play the Scotty Moore
[F] Mystery Train [Em] lick [A#] and in fact, [A] I actually learned to play this by looking at a
[G#] Danny Gatton how to play guitar [Fm] tape that came out in the early [Em] 80s
it
It's [F] exactly how he shows you how to do it on that [E] tape
For those [G#] of you that are interested [A] in guitar [G#] stuff.
I'm playing a 1956 [G] K archtop electric
Okay, [A] and it came equipped with twin
diamond gold foil [F] pickups
[A] with little individual [Bm] posts [F#]
and [C#] I play in the middle position and
At the moment, [G#] I'm using flat wrap [Bm] strings a heavier gauge string
But [G] in fact, I think the ultra lights of [F] lights sound great and there's a lot easier to play in fact
Most [F#] important I use a Herco
combination [Bm]
thumb
Flat [G#] pick so you can flat pick and thumb pick at the same [Em] time
okay, it's actually very easy to [E] play you just
That first [G#] damp the A and the E with the heel of your hand right there [F] near the bridge
[A] There like that then you pluck [C#m] and as a couplet the [A] G and the B
[G]
Then you hammer [F] on to the G
[E] [C#m] Hit the E again.
[A] [F] [Em] [E]
[A] [Em] So [C#] you're hoping you're holding on to that G and
[C#m] In fact, they're [A] open G [C#] and B
Go [F] to an a

[Em] [C#] [A] [Em]
[E] [A] [G]
[E] [A] [G#] That's it.
That's all there is to it
[B] It's a progression of EA [A] and B [A#] or B seventh [C#] and you just have to keep [E] practicing it and just like I did just keep
Doing it over and [G] over and finally you start to get [A] a little [F] speed
