[@nadiadavies8603]

Brilliant man magic fingers

[@qwertyzxcv123]

James' dynamics is still superb at his age. Spectacular!

[@allenorea9591]

Someone who has gave so much of himself to the music around the world with guitar licks like his he's been a one of kind, Thanks Mr.James Burton!!!***

[@PendulumRide大摆锤乐队]

At the age of 78，gave this performance! Long live the legend.

[@biff1tannen]

It is soo great to see the the guys that let Elvis be Elvis in the 70's keep going on. Thank you soo mutch

[@alt2ooning]

the true Master of the Telecaster......the one thumbs down is suffering from no sense of common sense and a lack of hearing......James has the ultimate respect of every Tele player and count me in there.....no loss of chops and like aged irreplaceable fine wine both James and the fine wine just get better as time ages them.....I greatly enjoyed this priceless performance video and thanks immensely for posting it and highlighting the immeasurable and unduplicated talent/chops of James on the appropriately JB custom painted hot and firey flamed Fender Tele

[@juliansymes3960]

The Absolute greatest, and still has it. Met James a few times after gigs but not since 2016. Love you man 🎸

[@karensuehampton8233]

WOW!!! where did u meet BURTON!!

[@excelsior999]

The legendary James Burton was humble Country Gentleman and a superb guitarist who could play R&R, Rockabilly and everything in between. With all due credit to the fine R&R lead guitarists who were influenced by Mr. Burton and went on to become famous, some of us geezers heard him "way back when" on TV as the guitarist in Ricky Nelson's band on "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet." (Many of those episodes can be seen on KZbin.) [P.S. We miss you Ricky, David, and your wonderful Mom & Dad,, Ozzie and Harriet. R.I.P. all. For many of us the 50's were The Real America and the Nelsons were America's "other" First Family, along with Pres. & Mrs. Eisenhower. It was a different time and a different world - and I really miss it.]

[@predraglazar2694]

Mr. Burton gave me his plek in about 1996. Right onto my hands. I am so proud of it. It is a treasure. God bless one of the best guitarist in the world.

[@claytonchaney9171]

Elvis enjoyed the finer things in life...one of them was James Burton....

[@fenderstratocaster3974]

thats right

[@PAD939]

He sure was...

[@ingridmornange5532]

I was glad to see and hear James Burton in Söderbärke,Sweden! With The Cadillac Band.

[@thomastimlin1724]

The most inventive, melodic guitar player ever. The songbird of the wrecking crew. everyone has copied him, he is the original sound, created it.

[@courtesyofdickboak]

You are 100% correct

[@daggen7273]

He’s the best ever. I’ve been fortunate to play with him a couple of times, and I will never, ever forget it. 😀

[@karensuehampton8233]

[@protochris]

As Elvis would say "Play it James".

[@Blueslicks321]

You all are watching a guy who's 80 yrs old play live in a professional setting... incredible! Doesn't sound like he's 80 does it?! He's the reason I use finger picks with my electrics and why I play Telecasters ... this guy has played the hook on countless hit records One Iconic guitar player

[@brianmoylan1671]

James Burton , the best there ever was. Everyone else , no disrespect , you will have to run second.

[@Dee-u4r]

James was born in 1940 this concert being recorded in 2018 makes James 78!

[@christianboddum8783]

No pedals, and the man can make a huge sound with the simplest of tools. Witnessing it first hand makes you a believer!

[@michele2049]

Best guitarist in the world and a true and loyal friend to the greatest entertainer of all time, Elvis.

[@eamontrainor5990]

James Burton, an accredited guitarist who, for his skill and remarkable cleaning style, captured the admiration of many famous Rock'N Roll promoters.

[@deanbembridge8640]

Sharp as a knife absolutely amazing 🎸🇬🇧

[@rpoberhausen]

So cool he’s still working

[@ferraridinoman]

As a James Burton fan, has anyone noticed he plays over the front pick up on the tele now, which to me doesn't sound quite the same anymore!! (Love you James xx!)

[@stevemason5173]

The best man to ever pick up a pick!!! The man is awesome!!!

[@justjules9800]

Fantastic! My hero, met him in Sun Studios this summer (2019) the greatest ever guitarist and guy.

[@ZacharyFriday]

This is great! Thank you for posting! I got the great opportunity to get to have a session co-produced by James Burton when I was 14 after winning a competition in my hometown in Louisiana. I recently posted a video of it on my channel, ("The James Burton Session") as I am currently getting ready to do a big release of my music. I learned a lot from him that day, he's a really great person. All hail the founder of Rock n' Roll!

[@georgearnett3026]

He is and still great what ever he does I remember him with Elvis the most

[@renecharpentier1905]

[@willrider5373]

The BEST!!! A dream of guitarist...

[@rabhouse7700]

non hai perso smalto nè talento, bravo James!!!!

[@briandevitt6903]

How about that for a fantastic signature sound that's instantly recognizable as the one and only James Burton.

[@markdoughty8780]

Nice guitar and a great player - I owned one of these back in the mid-2000s; very versatile guitar, perfect for country bends and playing but could also rock out when needed too. A great blend of Strat and Tele features, so it'd be hard to find a more versatile guitar that Fender has made.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

There is nothing left to say. That is James Burton. Even at 80 he has it.

[@zarroukfrederic52]

Des grandes pointures merveilleux guitariste avec ses rock endiablé j'adore

Played for some huge stars , including Ricky Nelson , Roy Orbison and of course the biggest of them all Elvis .

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

What a life that man has had! One that most musicians only dream of. He seems like a very nice and humble person as well.

[@AthelstanEngland]

Seen him live twice, absolutely brilliant. A tone all of his own. Looks like someone gave him a short three sizes too big though!! :)

[@nora1976able]

"Always on my mind" is the song ! :)

[@hughwylie5386]

@@nora1976able Thanks, Vidar. Burton plays it beautifully, and in a style I don't associate him with. A reminder to me of the broad range of his talent.

[@anthonycarollo]

Good stuff :-)

[@johngeorge2285]

The only guitarist who could have taken Scotty Moore's place

[@luc2o]

At the end of this video he plays Suzy Q. A full 60 years after he wrote (the solo and guitar part) and recorded it with Dale Hawkins.

[@jace5471]

James is tuff, I don't know many well known guitar players have said they where inspired by him

[@shizueleighhicks6174]

Each time I see Top 10. Lists of Best. Guitarists and they’ve left f my two favorites - James Burton and Luther Perkins - I know the reviewers must be in the neighborhood of 12 years old. James Burton! I still see that handsome man standing behind Ricky Nelson. There is no Briish Invasion without them. Just ask Keith Richards.

[@edge2sword186]

He and Danny Gatton had something everybody wanted .

it is 2020, and the guitars sounds worse than they did in sixties and seventies even through youtube. Fortunately he still plays phenomenal.

I told u he played with everyone

[@orioles1971]

Scotty Moore and James Burton 2 great guitarist, but if not for Elvis we may have never heard of either one.

[@JohnYoung-ls6dd]

He could play the guitar behind his head better than a lot can the normal way .👍

[@retroplayers5434]

Can anyone tell me what song he is playing @1:20? Thank you

Let It Be Me. Here ya go - his original solo is at about 1:46 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naOll2Ztf5akZ80

It must have been 15 to 20 years ago now, i saw all Elvis's backing band, here in the UK, some English guy was doing Elvis, i wish it had been the real Elvis, I couldn't believe they where playing at an old picture house in my own town..
