Thank you tack in the Tom Conlon! I've been going back to learn some old songs I used to play back in the 60's. i never learned that solo. and thanks to you I'll be able to sing that song and play the solo right instead of fudging it. your are great to take time to post it.
I don't know much about this guy, but from navigating through different youtube tutorials in this style of playing, he seems to be pretty accurate in his transcribing of all the songs I've been interested in learning to play. Some people spend way too much time over explaining every single detail of a solo or section of a song, to the point of distraction, with out enough playing demonstration. Usually, I am one of those people who prefers tablature to learn a song or solo, etc, but the way he plays a section or solo, by demonstrating at multiple speeds, so you can start slower then progress is really helpful. And by using the settings you can alter the speeds with more detail. also, he uses a split screen to illustrate the right hand, when necessary for right hand picking technique.
I have to agree.... I watched Ozzie and Harriet just to see Ricky do his weekly song and hear Burton's incredible solo's and I've played guitar for the past 60 years!
sorry if you've already addressed this question below but haven't read all the commentary.....can you share how you replicate Burton's chickin-pickin sound where notes are chirped or run-on over other notes. It's an incredible part of the country guitar sound and in your regular speed version of the Burton solo, that chickin-pickin of several of the bended notes really comes through. thanks
johnmaer I am first plucking a "Dead note" (muted by my middle finger) with the pick down and then immediately plucking up with my middle finger. I got the gist of it from Greg Koch who is a master of this (and other) styles. Check out this video of his. th-cam.com/video/uDRfLUP0Y4M/w-d-xo.html
Your playing out. Of A what key do you sing it out of? Do you capo so you can use same lead structure. It is a bit to high for my range need to capo so I can use same finger style. That is note for not James Burton. You could be his stand in nobody could tell any diff. Just really great job!! Thanks for the response
Don Seib Thanks for your feedback. Others have found it helpful. Considering the time I put in to making the backing track, filming with 2 cameras, and syncing the audio and video at several tempos, my intent was not simply to “show off.” However, I have started to include tab with my recent videos which you may find helpful.
This is great. I appreciate that you didn't take 20 minutes to demonstrate a 20 second solo.
HighCountryGuitar Thank you!
Terrific! Straight, simple, straightforward, no showoff frills, no need for dialogue. All I need now is talent.
Thanks, you’ll get it!
Very well explained without all the unnnecessary talk which you get from most tutorials and a great Telecaster sound

James burton and Status Quo where the reasons I love the tele, thanks for this vid, I think I may try this later, many thanks.
What a great way to present the solo. Thanks!

I've already said: the best version available, very near to the Burton's one! Tabs would be a great gift!
Great lesson. Saved as a Favorite.
Nice lesson, Tom! One of my favorite solos. You nailed it, well done. James would be smiling broadly, listening to you play that.
Thank you! 😊
Another excellent lesson Tom. Thanks for your work and contributions. Subscribed.
I really appreciate that!!
0:21-0:23 is my favorite riff part
Fantastic! Thank you for posting. With any luck, I'll finally learn this lick.
Joe Gagliardi Thanks and good luck!
Ha! The way I play, I need more than luck! Keep up the good work, Tom.
Tom Conlon

Dam ..you got that down good....you have a gift to pick it up by ear...wow
+Dan Anderson thanks!
Awesome. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching!
Always wondered if the Ricky Nelson songs like this one were recorded at a slower tempo and played back faster.
nailed it, great job
Thanks!
Thanks, Tom.
This is the solo that made me want to play guitar.
Nate Herman Thanks for watching and commenting!

How in the hell do you expect me to do all that? Great video Dude! lol, sure wish youTube was around when I had a peak interest in guitar playing.
How do you get such a great guitar sound??? You’re great by the way!!
Great!
Beg to the Roots Thank you!
GREAT!
Ackyman Thank you!
credit where due mate
Really nice job of capturing a James Burton classic. How about a lesson on the lead solo from “Mighty Good”?
I’ll check it out! Thanks!
Fantastikkkkk Ok fantastikkkkk unico speciale fantastikkkkk
Gracias amigo,a ver si me sale
That's great, Tom! Are you using a flat pick and fingers? I've never seen you do that style before. Man, you can do it all! Very cool!
Thanks, I used to try to play that style a lot
Your playing out. Of A what key do you sing it out of? Do you capo so you can use same lead structure. It is a bit to high for my range need to capo so I can use same finger style.

Garry Martin Thanks! I play and sing it in A. Here is my complete cover: th-cam.com/video/9lL8ik8kwek/w-d-xo.html
Can I ask where you got your backing track? Note for note James Burton lead great great job
Garry Martin I made the backing track myself. I cover the song and sing it in another video.
🎸🎸👍👍
this is custom shop telecaster?
Yes
fuck this is some highly complex version, how on earth do you pick both with fingers and pick in the same time xD
Practice slowly! :)
bloody great but i'm afraid i'm one of those slow bastards who really need a set of tabs. i just can't work it out by watching.
GREAT!!! TAB would be essential to understand well bass line and melody line...
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

This isn’t a lesson, it’s showing off. There’s not a word if instruction here.

Tom Conlon you are very good but it and I love that song. I’m going to try it at the slowest speed you played it at. I meant no disrespect.
