In 1964, Moore released a solo album on Epic Records called "The Guitar That Changed the World", played using his Gibson Super 400. For this effort he was fired by Sam Phillips. The reason for this was that the people just could not tolerate hearing the music without the king himself in front. To make things worse, Phillips was not unaware of the project. Once he got the hang of it, he promptly showed Moore the door. He reunited with Fontana and Presley for the NBC television special known as the '"68 Comeback Special", again with his Gibson Super 400, which was also played by Presley. This special was the last time these musicians would play with Presley, and for Moore it was the last time he ever saw him.
