James Burton
Austin, TX- July 18-23 2010: Twang 101
James Burton can certainly lay legitimate claim to the title of original guitar hero. Many guitar players were strumming away throughout the 1950s, but Burton pioneered the role of the lead guitarist through his impeccable phrasing and stinging tone on the guitar that he would forever be associated with, the Fender Telecaster®. Rock and country guitarists far and wide reverently credit him as a seminal influence, from Keith Richards and Jimmy Page to Vince Gill and Brad Paisley.
