    In this guitar lesson, you'll learn how to play a James Burton style lead on electric guitar. James Burton has played with just about everyone, from Rick Nelson to Elvis Presley. His unique style of playing is a perfect blend of country and blues. I hope you enjoy!

    This lesson is a stellar example of why we are members at Active melody, classic explanation of why it works and where we are on the fretboard. The background in why and where a great innovator like James Burton works, helps so much, when built on the basics I've learned at the site.

    GREAT VIDEO, GREAT GUITAR!! Burton and the band brought new colors to all Elvis last numbers.

    You need only a standard Telecaster to get James sound. He didn't go to 3 pickups (Nashville Telecaster) until later. Ricky, studio work and Elvis all on a 2 pick up.

    Good stuff. Getting ready to play some backup for an Elvis impersonator show in a couple of weeks and this stuff is invaluable.

    Hey! What is the best video to watch, if i want to learn how to play country lead licks on an acoustic guitar over another acoustic guitar player who is singing and just playing chords? Thanks in advance!

    Hey Brian, Can you tell us a bit about your tel. I have a '63 reissue Custom Shop myself. Yours
    looks and sound close to what I have. Great lesson BTW. I always love your analysis of what's going on from a construction and theory standpoint. Much more beneficial than merely memorizing notes. Thanks.

    Hi Brian. I have subribed to your channel and I love all of it. I have already leaned a lot from you! Thank you for that!!! I tried to play along with your intro on lesson EP161 and, I know it is me, but I can´t find out how long you stay on each of the three chords. I know it´s A and D and E. In the lesson you said it´s 4 bars on A, then 4 bars on D, then 2 bars on A and two bars on E and back to the A. When I play along it just sounds funny to me. Maybe you can correct me, please. Thank you so much. Cheers from Thomas, Freiburg, Germany.

      Hey Thomas, I was wrong when I stated that in the intro - I just went back and re-counted and it looks like it breaks down like this: A (6 measures), D (4 measures), A (2 measures), E (2 measures), A (2 measures) - and then it repeats. Sorry for the confusion!

      don't be one fifth as good... be AS good... practice... that's what it takes... Paco DeLucia practised 12 hours a day... (forced to do so because his father made him so he could grow up and make a good living) ... that sure worked for him... and it will for you too...

    James Burton did great instructional videos, I have them on VHS and all the tapes got lost I wish somebody would post the originals again. This doesn’t even come close to much theorizing not enough playing here

      Ahhh my good man..... tone has EVERYTHING to do with James Burton; seventy per cent of it is in his touch AND tone knob. He can go from a quasi jazz arpeggio at the end of Johnny Mathis’ 1971 cover version of ‘For All We Know,” to twangin’ on a Buck Owens or Merle Haggard cut, to a little overdrive on promised land or Never Been to Spain, to just nice pop tone and licks on Roy Orbison ballads. The nuance and spectrum of his tone is protean.
