Burton was Dale Hawkins' lead guitarist. That's him playing on Suzie Q. He left Dale Hawkins to play behind Ricky Nelson

@RasMajnouni What a great CV to have. He was also Emmy Lou Harris' guitarist for a couple of years. He was also the first guitar player to bend notes up a full tone. He couldn't do it using conventional strings at that time......so he substituted banjo strings.
Elvis was Burton's biggest fan & loved listening to James' solos.

GUITAR HEAVEN
This is what music is all about........sharing licks & enjoying what's going on. Albert Lee looks like a kid in a lolly shop, so happy to in the company of his heros.
The great James Burton wrote the textbook for rock guitar. How eagerly we awaited his playing behind Rick Nelson which occurred at the end of each episode of "The Nelsons".
