Country fans: Which version of “Guitar Man” do you think is better–Jerry Reed’s or Elvis’? Why?

The original version by Jerry Reed (studio version):

or

Elvis Presley’s cover (studio version):

Now, which one do YOU feel is better? Why?
Chubs: Don’t worry–I already knew that Reed played guitar in Elvis’ cover. I believe Elvis’ guitarist (not sure if it was James Burton at the time or not) couldn’t figure out the guitar parts, so they got Jerry Reed.
For anyone who comes across this question who is a big Jerry Reed fan, also check out my other question concerning Jerry Reed fans, if you get the chance:
