    Dude is a living legend, a term that is over-used. James Burton is a guitar monster and seemingly, a hell of a great guy.

    James Burton is the greatest guitarist that ever lived and the most loyal friend of Elvis.

    Don't be too hard on the guy- James had been playing professionally for 60 years at this point and is one of a handful of guys that wrote the rule book back in the 1950s. In fact, he's the only one still alive and he's still going strong.

    Wow! Wish I could see James in person. I love him, he is a Legend but still so humble. Seems like a really nice guy, Elvis was blessed to have him. Sure wish Elvis had chosen to get to know James more & had stayed away from some of the others. The hangers on who betrayed him in the end. Oh well, in the past. Love James though, simply AMAZING!! 👍👏🏼

    • @w1lf1ewoo
      @w1lf1ewoo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He definitely got to know and love James , they probably spent 1000s of hours together on stage and in the studio as well as jamming/partying in Elvis's suite. And I don't think anyone really 'betrayed' Elvis, he liked having those guys around too...this isn't an episode of The Bible for Christ's sake

Secondly, yr rude as heck! I didn’t say anything ugly to you or to anyone else on here. I was jst admiring James. You didn’t need to put in yr 2 cents & certainly didn’t need to use the Lord’s name in vain to do it!

      That's probably true but he seems like a very respectful young man when he's talking and listening to James Burton. With that attitude he will do well. James seemed to relate to him easily.

    James Burton is truly one of America's Greatest guitarists. He has played on and written many songs, etc. - the man is an ICON. James was in demand from the time he picked up a guitar and until today. Mr. Burton is just so great - was and is - always in demand - he is to the guitar what Hal Blaine is to the drums. IT DOESN'T GET
    ANY BETTER. It is sad that this gentleman doing the interview - he doesn't truly realize who's presence he is in. THIS GUY IS THE ORIGINAL ROCK GUITAR ICON. When a person gets to interview an "artist" such as Mr. Burton - if you get the honor, do your homework and ask the right questions.

      Roger C oh I think he does. He was just born in '73. When he didn't know Emmylou Harris' " Too Far Gone" it is understandable. I think he's aware of James' status; I just think he's young in relative terms you figure he was like two when "Too Far Gone" was released. I thought both James and Albert, in his video, were patient with the guy.

  • @garyolafson8303

    James is not credited as written Susie Q, only a featured guitar player. Sad back then 1957, melody notes belong to James Burton.

    @easguitar 11 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The initial question about James getting thrown off the Louisiana Hayride for playing "too wild" is absolutely insulting to James who is known widely for his taste, economy, note choice and strict attention to the requirements of the specific song.Also, the reference to the TCB Band as possibly emulating the rock energy of Clapton, Hendrix, etc is ill-informed at best. One can tell that James is slightly put off by both questions....
