I put up a video of Lenny's version of "It Could Happen To You", from his album "The Legendary Lenny Breau...Now!" I make a few mistakes, but after about 15 tries at recording, this is as good as I am going to be able to do. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

Re: Lenny Breau "It Could Happen To You"
Very nice George... Thank you for doing the video and posting it. I sure love Lenny's chord voicings. He was a master at it. I sure know what you mean with your comment about "15 tries"... It seems when the camera goes on, the notes go somewhere else At least they do for me.. Anyway, good job..

I'm in awe, George. Great job on a very difficult piece.
If the universe would let me go back and spend a week with either Lenny or with Jerry, I would have a very hard time deciding which to spend time with. Incredibly creative artists.

Thanks for the kind words. That song is a handful, and it is still very rough, but with a few years of practice, I might be able to smooth it out.
Thanks,
George

Wow! I love it. Great job. Did you transcribe that yourself?
p.s. just watched your "Always" clip too, very cool!

Thanks Dave,
A guy named Greg Stone, who posts on the Lenny Breau page on Facebook, transcribed "It Could Happen To You". I figured "Always" out on my own.
