We'll dive deep into the techniques James Burton used like hybrid picking, bendings and slides. I will also show you two songs from start to finish, Suzie Q and Jumping With The Shadows. The course features the following songs:
Travelin' Man - Ricky Nelson
Whenever You're Ready - Bob Luman

I'll teach you how to play the solo parts, but I'll also show you the chords of the more unusual chord progressions.
I've included the tabs in Guitar Pro and PDF format for every song. Furthermore the guys at Lightning Recorders in Berlin recorded highly authentic jam tracks in four different tempos to make this learning experience even more exciting.
There are some easy parts in this course, but most of the lectures are geared toward the intermediate to advanced guitar player.
Who this course is for:
- Intermediate guitarists who would like to learn the unique style of James Burton

My name is Randy Richter, I was born in 1974 in Rostock, Germany. At age 16 I started to teach myself how to play the guitar. Shortly after I played shows around my hometown and in 1996 I became a full time professional musician. With my band Randy Rich and The Poor Boys we've toured all over Europe and the US and appeared on the biggest festivals in the scene. Due to our excellent skills and our love to the authentic sound of the 1950s I had the chance to play and record with many of the original rockabilly legends like Janis Martin, Glenn Honeycutt, Eddie Bond and Glen Glenn.
In 2005 I started to teach guitar to some local students. Because of the fun I was having doing that I extended this part of my job even further and now I'm also teaching people online via Skype. With my Rockabilly Guitar Video Lessons I have the chance to share my knowledge and my passion for the music of the 1950s to thankful students everywhere in the world.
