Burton, legendary session guitarist, backed many artists in his career, with Presley from 1969 through 1977 being his most famous period. His guitar work on Dale Hawkins recording of “Susie Q” was outstanding.

James Burton is dedicated to helping kids and guitar players, and holds an annual festival which supports his charity work. On Aug 22 during this year’s festival, Burton will attempt to beat the world record of “the most guitarists playing the same song at the same time in one place” (1,803 guitarists).

“Then after we beat the record there's going to be a V.I.P. party for everyone so that the kids and folks who came to play with us can meet and shake hands with all these wonderful players who are playing at the festival that night,” said Burton in an interview.

He only needs 1,804 guitarists to set a new world record. Nothing said in the article of what song they will play, but I'm reminded of Fontana and his 1001 Strings album.

Hmm, 1804 x 6 = 10,824 strings. Nice concept considering he does this as a benefit for the kids.
