I've never really developed a deep appreciation for Frank Sinatra, but at least I don't run screaming from the room when he comes up on a play list.

Early Frank!

 

[BOP]

Early Johnny.

 

[BOP]

More Johnny and the Tennessee Two. Later, it became the Tennessee Three, so this was pretty early.

Speaking of Luther Perkins, mentioned in that last video:

"In order to tone down the sustained bottom end so that it would not compete with the other instruments, Perkins began the practice of muting the three bass strings (E, A and D) with the heel of his right hand, much in the style of Merle Travis, and scratching a rhythm pattern (as heard on Sun Records recordings prior to 1958). This pattern developed into a more defined, varying 1/8-8/5/8-8 picking (with random syncopation) on later Sun recordings and for the rest of Perkins’ career."

He did that because the used guitar he bought did not have working volume or tone knobs.
