Streets of Baltimore, James Burton Solo (Patreon)

Hello all! This week I’m taking a look at a short but perfectly-formed solo from country guitar great James Burton. You can hear it on Gram Parsons’ first solo record, GP. (If you don’t already know this record, I highly recommend it.)

Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/H3RylVW_uU4

There’s lots of good stuff here - hybrid picking, pedal steel bends, playing the chord changes. I’m attaching my transcription below in PDF and Guitar Pro formats. My backing track is coming right up in the next post.

Enjoy, and speak next week!
