How good a guitar player was Elvis?
I once heard Chet Atkins state that Elvis was "a good guitar picker". To me, that is the ultimate compliment.
Any comments?
According to Johnny Cash, who saw Elvis perform and toured with him at the beginning of both their careers, Elvis was one of the greatest rhythm players he'd ever seen. So yeah, Elvis was actually a pretty decent guitarist, according to Johnny Cash, and as you said, Chet Atkins. He knew basic chords and riffs, but he was definately no Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton.
However, there's a scene in a 1977 TV special where Elvis says to the audience he only knew three chords and that he'd been "faking it for a long time." I have no idea why he said this, because if you've ever watched him play, you can tell he is actually playing real chords. Personally, I think he meant the next song he was doing only consisted of three chords, and by faking it he might have meant in his movies (because in his movies, he really wasn't playing the guitar there). Or maybe Elvis had no idea what he was talking about at this time (remember, this was 1977, and it was just six weeks before his death when he said this). I do know, however, that he COULD play more than just three chords (and even if he did know only three chords, you can still play quite a bit with three chords; it's what you DO with those three chords that matters).
