Reggie Young was an amazing man and his intro to the Dobie Gray song "Drift Away" was also an amazing thing. Of course everything he did was pretty amazing. After the studio in Memphis closed he ended up in Nashville and played on almost everyone's studio recordings. Read his discography and you cannot help but be amazed. Reggie Young may not have remembered exactly how he did the original song, he did so many songs for so many artists and years later when he discussed it I am sure he would not know exactly how he did it, after all on that song he said there no charts at all and he didn't read music and made up all the riffs to fit the voice of the person at the time and the song they brought. Truly a genius in the studio.

People, if you don't know who Reggie Young is, you need to do some research! Probably one of the most tasteful session guitar players of all time. He played on so many influential hits that it is legendary! He was a Memphis guy, Muscle Shoals guy and a Nashville legend for years..... He played a gold top Les Paul on Dobie Gray's " Drift Away", a Strat on George Strait classics like the fireman and unwound, he played on Merle Haggard classics such as , " Stay Here and Drink and that's the way love Goes.... His solo to Travis Tritt's " Anymore" and Help me Hold on, just to name a few! He legendary status spans several generations and he is the ultimate session player in America .........He had great taste and was known as the king of layout... knock you over with a just a few timely placed notes with the perfect tones that were born with the songs he played on!

Just turning 65, I've been playing this song since I was in my 20's. Funny thing is I've always played that first G->C in the root position and always always felt it might not be the way Reggie played it. For one, I sometimes have trouble articulating all the C chord notes which I would only notice upon recording myself. And now with isolated tracks you can hear Reggie making a position change going into the C chord as well as a slight slide along the fretboard. That can only occur the way you play it, changing position. I'm not sure I'll change at this point but happy to realize what's probably happening. Thank you.

So, it was recorded Jan 22nd 1969 in 8 takes. I have takes 4-8 from a collection called American Sound Sessions. There's some chatter about the riff and lots of Elvis clearing his throat and joking with the engineer. The mixes are different so you hear different things. Yours seems spot on but you might want to give these a listen.

Scotty traded the Gibson for a chime keyboard and it got left at American. It was given back to Gibson for some work. Sometime later Elvis came in to cut a session of crap from his movies and the suspicious demo was played to him which he loved. Reggie played just like you heard and stopped during the piano chorus picking up again at the bridge and verse. The rest is history. Got paid $300 record sold 20 million copies.

Hi from New Zealand I have always wonder how to play the studio recorded version. The first I have heard of Reggie Young? I can play the guts of the tune. But not that distinctive start of the studio tune and it just did not sound right no matter how I play it. Easy to play the live version I think, play by Scotty More/ James Burton. Yes, it sounds bang on Adrian and your right I associate you to jazz music. I use a lot of your jazz riffs. I hope this makes sense? Thank for sharing with the world

Adrian, first, you are to be heralded for having such a good ear or for conducting the background investigation on how the signature licks are actually gripped and performed on guitar. I think you are right about the original Elvis record and how Mr. Young played the part. What I also think you deserve credit for is not-churning out more garbage and heaping praise on artists for this, that or the other as respects their use of certain chords, riffs, finger picking or whatever. I view so many players/instructors on-line and the first thing rolling out of their mouth would be how "a Hendrix chord" was employed in the signature riff and finger/hybrid pick of the C chord. I mean Jimi Hendrix was not the first guitar player to use alternative chord voicing techniques. I mean in your research, did Mr. Young credit his Suspicious Minds lick to Jimi Hendrix? I greatly value and enjoy your channel and what you perform and instruct on. You are a bloke with formidable talent, judgment and patience in laying it out like you do. Kudos and best of the holidays and New Year wishes.....from the USA.
