Thanks Pascal. I tuned this down to E,B,e to get into the original key. Scotty Moore used a thumbpick and fingers but I'm using bare thumb and two fingers to try and get close to the sound.

Well done Jim, such a great riffs to play still remember when I first got it right , I just played it over and over. 

He was so much more then Elvis's axeman.
