  • ainda tem 7 imbecis mau amados que nao gostam...puta que pariu viu!

  • Some players have said that they would prefer him playing a tele. I love the tone he gets out of that Ernie Ball. It's got the tele twang and strat out of phase sound.

    He is amazing.

  • I keep looking for a country player better than Albert Lee. I can't do it.

  • @psyoptica Steve Morse.

  • @badewannenfreak94 Steve Morse is awesome. I tend to think of him as more of a country-infused fusion player than a full-blown country player like Albert, though.

  • OMG!!!!!!!

  • Good Lord!

  • mostro!!!

  • ...and Bill Bryson on piano, before the writing thing began working out for him?

  • how can you respond? linguistically? I saw him in 1972 in the front row at shaffer music festival nyc outdoors in the summer. same thing as this video. a life changer as a guitarist. i wonder when this was shot.

  • I only can say: Great an fantastic !!!

  • WOW!

  • Albett Lee is the real thing, one of those artist that many other famous artist admire

  • Absolutely GREEAAATTTT!!!!!

  • What can I say.

  • Grande Lee!!!! vou tomar uma e curtir de novo!!! kkkk

  • Grande Lee!!!!

    

  • legal meniero

  • free exchange and WHAT???? I never got that!

  • @steveyraynelson READ EXCHANGE & MART, it's a magazine (pre- ebay)

  • greatttttttttttttttt Alberttttttttttttt tcb Mel

  • If you like this, may I suggest viewing Joe Maphis' instrumental " Fiddlin' on the Guitar". It is on Youtube. Albert has to have heard this superb picker !

  • 4 dislikes? Now we know what the panel on the XFactor do when they're not dousing our TV's in dross!

  • that's some top level pickin' & grinnin'!

  • Fucking awesome

  • the absolut

  • He's in love with that shirt.

  • O cara é um monstro, toca muito, olha essa palhetada hibrida....

  • @AlbertBizzo nao e palheta mane!

  • @bj4paul. Very appropriate handle. Albert Lee wouldn't know me from a hole in the wall. Neither would ilovejacobmiller. But I met him a couple of times between 1971 and 1973 because he was going out with a girl from Wales who was a close friend of mine. I saw that he was so far ahead of anybody in the rock guitar world, hence the name "the guitar player's guitar player." So, I've followed his career ever since. Insulting ilovejacobmiller is like insulting his daughter. Show respect.

  • Some of this sounds a lot like Jerry's Breakdown.

  • He looks like Emmylou Harris, but he can play :-)

  • @p52xtra Have you seen Emmylou playing her organ?

  • @WilhelmKojac Are you sure it was HER organ? lol

  • I was lucky enough to see this guy live recently what a gig!!!! Nice guy aswell

  • This guy's great but slow blues on an electric is a hell of alot harder to make sound good than fast flat country pickin'

  • It's almost frightening how easy he makes it look. Hail Mr. Lee!!!!

  • @mgrg40 indeed... he and Chet Atkins both have a way of making it look soooo gol' dang easy!

  • Available cheap: One busted-in-half Fender Telecaster guitar that I busted in half after watching this video... I have since taken up the tamborine as my instrument of choice! (-;

  • This is simply impossible, the man is beyond genius!

  • Shit, this guy played in my band back in 1963/64!

  • Im not a guitarist, But it dont take no rocket scientist to see Albert has more rythem in his foot then all you hatters out there!!!

  • WHAT THE YEAR OF THIS CONCERT???????????? PLEEEASEEE

  • It's an honor to have the job as his guitar tech.

  • i'm not a huge fan of country but i still get blown away from his guitar skill...the precision and speed is like his fingers must be mae of pure gold mixed with unicorn tears i swear

  • There are or was only 4 guitar players in the history truly unimitable: (of course) Jimi Hendrix-Roy Buchanan-Albert Lee-Jeff Beck and maybe, Michael Angelo.

  • Gonna see him this Friday!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • top of the bill

  • albert needs no help. absolute excellence on his guitar. but wow, james taylor on the bass!

  • i was staring at his guitar the whole time like WTF how is that possible

  • How the hell? I just watched him do this for a concert on the tv and my frame rate couldn't keep up with his hands! Damn, this sure beats the wind out of the metalheads, Albert Lee rules!

  • Why do people insist on comparing who's the best instead of simply enjoying the video and guitar player featured here? No matter if you like someone else better, this guy is phenomenal and will out pick any of us. If you would rather watch another player, then please go watch their videos and STFU.

  • Albert Lee, the very best guitar player anywhere!!.....he and his peeps were friends of mine on My Space, just as sweet as could be...there are a few that I miss, and Albert and his crew were ones that I have missed..Love them all!! Thx 4 posting......phyllis

  • I'll never be able to play that, not the way he does it at least.

  • lmao, amazing! I loved this song so much when it was originally released - 1979?? It's the reason I wanted to learn the guitar, and it's also the reason why I gave up trying...

  • Just sounds like he is running through a bunch of scales really fast, needs a litle more feel and melody

  • @bj4paul i disagree and i listen to people like David Gilmore and buddy guy and Eric Clapton. its just a different feeling but its very much real. you can tell :P

  • @bj4paul. Perhaps you are just saying that because you could a) never write such a popular or iconic song or b) play it. I find that people who criticize such brilliant playing are jealous or don't have the capacity to understand the brilliance.

  • @ilovejacobmiller Brilliant?? Einstien is brilliant, this guy just plays a guitar extremely fast, nothing special

  • @bj4paul You're obviously not a guitarist so your arrogant opinion certainly doesn't count, idiot!

  • @bj4paul Dude... Have you tried playing over this progression? Its hard to do slow... especially tastefully. And all that country picking technique and phrasing. I admit, "brilliant" is thrown around losely but definitely not "nothing special" and definitely not just "extremely fast" playing. I think your ears are broken.

  • @bj4paul Just checked out your channel and the guy who was playing guitar in it bored me to death. so I'm writing you from beyond the grave to tell you kind sir that in order to write the garbage you have spewed from your fingers, you really have to show some arrogance and rather overflowing amounts of hatred towards music like this..which you clearly have.

  • @bj4paul thats your idea of brilliant. yes einstein was a genius, but if it boils down to it, many people would call this man a genius because of his mastery over the guitar as many would call perhaps eric clapton a genius... a self taught musician who is regarded as one of the greatest musicians ever.

    "brilliant" is only how you percieve something :)

  • Accuracy - 10, Feel - 10, Musicality - 10, Interpretation - 10, Star Quality - 10! Albert was and is the real deal!!

  • Sterling Ball on bass. These guitars are better "than" [ not then you retard] a Les Paul or a fender because everything stock on this guitar is high quality . No paying $ 2,000 for a guitar with shitty pickups or in Gibsons case terrible machine heads. Jimmy and Albert come from the same English scene 1960. Jimmy was an excellent studio technician but after 5 years with LZ his live playing was pretty weak cause he was always so fucked up, unlike Albert who always plays like the pro he is,dig it!

  • Albert Lee would wipe his ass with Jimmy Page! lmao

  • @westwindband09 Not even comparable... Albert's fingers are fast and he has a vast array of licks, but just consider Jimmy's creativity. Go back and listen to all the acoustic works of Page.

  • Albert has a technique that just in a few time with an Ibanez with a Floyd Rose whammy bar send Steve Vai in an hotel room to spare a bullett in his head! Jimmy Page it's great for his ideas gave into Zep group...but he haven't the ability of Albert.

  • He doesn't even use distortion! What a Gramps! You think by now he'd be able to afford a good guitar like a Les Paul or an Ibanez with a Floyd Rose whammy bar!

    Jimmy Page is better then this guy!

  • @itriedmany

    You do realize that it's a signature guitar made by Music Man/ Ernie ball...

  • @itriedmany HAHHAHAHAHAHA! You must be joking, right? He has Eric Clapton's old Les Paul from when he played with Cream, and he doesn't have to hide behind distortion because he is a precise player. Jimmy Page and he happened to be good friends when they were teenagers and I am positive Jimmy would not say anything but positive about Albert. Dude, if you don't like COUNTRY MUSIC than don't comment.

  • It's more difficult to play like Albert than every shredder!

  • This man's skills are in a class of their own, properly the best guitarists in the world

  • Inutile de parler du jeu du guitariste, il est bien évidemment dans le Top 10 des meilleurs que la Terre n'ait jamais connue ...

    Mais son pull en dit long sur le personnage, en plus d'être un monstre ce type est modeste , énormissime tout simplement !

  • Hybrid picking legend

    albert lee live on

  • Is he Chet atkins son or john 5's father?

  • Genius, have to learn this for this weekend, phew...

  • GREAT

  • WOOOOOOT!!! BUENOO!

  • Ola galera meu nome é Bruno Cesar estou passando aqui pra divulgar meu novo canal, para que possam se insvrever.

    Sou guitarrista e queria pedir para que comentassem meus vídeos.

    Um abraço.

  • seen him this year with bill wymans rythmkings its a fenomeen

  • Check out Hellbillies The Claw..Lars Håvard Haugen ....he will play cirkles around A. Lee.. this is just masturbating on a guitar.

  • @hura49 who says masturbating on a guitar ain't fun?

  • @MustangSally72 I'm not sure I get your comment. Are you implying he's wanking? If so, I don't think you could be further from the truth. Typically "mastrubation" with an instrument would imply disregarding tone, tempo, rhythmic structure, and composition. Is that what you're saying?

  • @hura49

    Sorry man - Thanks for turning me on to the Hellbillies, but Lars can't hold a candle to Herr Lee!

  • @hura49 I'm sorry, I listened but I didn't hear circles being played around Albert, just my opinion, but Albert Lee sounds better to me, very clean.

  • before all...an extraordinary guitarist !

  • Two words.... HOLY SHIT!

  • Man, I'm a metalhead and I've heard the name Albert Lee before, but didn't check him until recently... He totally blows my mind!!

    Does any of you know of other equally amazing country guitarists ?? I really like this now! ALBERT LEE FTW!!!

  • @AlfredoBoGu check out Jerry reied

  • @AlfredoBoGu Danny Gatton ,Doug Seven ,Brent Mason to name a few.

  • @ekpil Okay thanks, I'll check them out :)

  • don't forget he was the player emmylou harris chose to replace james burton when james left the hot band an english country picker from hell luv ya albert

  • I'm a rock/fusion guitarist, and I love rock, and any great music, but I have to admit that there's not a snowball's chance in hell that most rock guitarists would dare attempt to play at that speed, and pick every note without using plenty of distortion to mask any flaws! Not only that, but Albert's playing is totally clean, with no effects, distortion and in the treble/bridge pickup position, the most telling of all! And it's telling us that he's one of the best in the world!

  • Great ! Albert Lee guitarist for guitarists, that's music !

  • That piano player looks a bit dodgy, he would probably feel more at home with a gun or a young child within arms reach.

  • Senza Parole GRANDE!!!!

    

  • dang it! i gotta start over! i blinked!

  • Such a talent!! The greatest with Roy Buchanan and Jimi Hendrix ever.

  • Superb last night at the Boom Boom Club

  • i'm just a country boy!!!

  • Albert Lee nao é Humano! *-*

    ele é uma maquina

  • I've dug Albert for years. A buddy said I ought to check out T E. That guy left me irritated...too impressed with himself and all the soul of frozen pumpkin pie.

    Sorry buddy, Albert is the MAN!

  • @penn4644

    I hope you didn't mean the Genius Tommy Emmanuel. If so thumb down

  • @penn4644 who is T E?

  • @metlahead6 Tommy Emmanuel... and despite what Penn said, you need to check him out. Everyone should experience Tommy.

  • @penn4644 dude tommy emmanuel and Lee are in the same vein of playing and mindset behind showmanship, they are both humble as fuck and shit out soul from their guitars and assholes. Praising one of them and dissing the other, you are a goddamn heathen.

  • @penn4644 Then you obviously haven't listened to much of Tommy's stuff. He's an amazing player that has a gift for making anyone he plays with look good. I've met him, and can tell you that he's quite humble, especially for a man that's been called the greatest living fingerpicker more than once. (Never by himself). You might want to acquaint yourself a little better with his work before you start casting dispersions. I love Albert Lee’s music. Have for years. Btw, This isn't a sport...

  • @ScottFree37 Alright alright alright guv'nor. Keep your shirt on. I've got a right to my opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • @penn4644 You got to be joking. Both Tommy Emmanuel and Albert Lee are great musicians, and are humble about it as well...

  • @KHGuitarFreak1988 An artist can be supremely masterful at his or her musical craft, ( which I'll concede T E is ) and still affect one the wrong way. I don't get that feeling from Albert or Gatton or tons of others. I do not expect others to necessarily agree with me. I still ( after many performances viewed ) think T E is as humble as Ted Nugent ! Having digressed, Albert Lee is king in all aspects of musical experience ! Cheers again !

  • fuck..

  • alberts on fire here. awesome

  • alberts on fire here

  • Briiillllliiiiaaannnt

  • met him on Saturday and saw him perform......legend!!!!

  • que hijo de su madre! crack de cracks!

  • oh....three people just have seen his haircut :D

  • what the fuck

  • I now understand why Ritchie Blackmore really rated him back in the 60s!

  • the guitar is on fire

  • Realmente furioso .

    Maravilhoso .

  • I can do this switch... wait, this isn't a skate trick... nvm

  • Dai un'occhiata alla mia generazione. Vi si possono trovare i treni, l'esercito finlandese, il bellissimo paesaggio della Finlandia, musica folk, veliero Sedov, arti marziali, sport, mostre d'arte, animali, animazione, un sacco di Super 8 film e altre cose interessanti!

  • KING ALBERT LEE!

  • he's the most incredible guitar player i have ever seen !!

  • @giosmrbig And English :3

  • i have two guitars which i now stare at with hatred and contempt.... whereas before watching this i would caress them with love trying to strangle a tune out of them... i'm so depressed...

  • This totally awesome and great!

    Tommy

  • pretty good, but what about slowhand?

  • @wp4866 Albert Lee played with Clapton on several tours, and Clapton has called him "the greatest guitar player in the world"

  • since ive seen this i will never play again !

  • the best part of this song is from 0:00 till 4: 05. three guys voted this down get molested by their perv dad when they were young and now has a butthole big enough to fit a Heart Attack Grill Burger.

  • Somebody knows the name of this show or have a link for download?

  • I've loved this song -- and most all his songs -- since the first time I heard him back in the 60s. I'm SO thrilled to see he's still around today! Who knows? He just might make it big! And he IS a fabulous guitarist and VERY impressive!!!

  • Thers's really only one logical and reasoned thing to say to this vid and that, YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW­WWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is amazing playing. Wow...! :-).

  • I don't think the point was to impress anyone, it's just one of his signature songs. It's part of his style and has a grace to it that's hard to beat. Keep in mind too the Albert Lee never really hit it big on his own but he was and still is one of the most sought after studio musicians in the world. The best of the current and previous generation all name him as inspiration, even Clapton and BB King look to him. Even if he never made Rolling Stones list of the 100 greatest guitarist.

  • mamma mia...

    And you 48brianm - dont ever quit on guitar. ever

  • this is a master...

  • Albert Lee mate one of our british country boys

  • Doesn't he look alot like Steve Vai?

  • @xzylophone dick head

  • He's a great player, but to me all that speed and technique has little or nothing to do with music. It's missing the point, in my opinion, unless the point is to impress other guitarists.

  • @Keithdhodges a bit JEALOUS are we??

  • Yes, "Mr. Telecaster" can really play. He is a guitar players guitar player! I see he is playing an Ernie Ball custom Music Man guitar with a B-bender. He is awesome!

  • FANTASTIC!!!

  • Wooo Hooo the best!!!!! A.L. 50 stars!!!!!

  • That is generally how it goes. People get to intimidated by someone who is really that good. But I am not. I know how proficient I am, and I would kill to sit down and jam with this guy. He is frickin chickin pickin great. The best their is as what he does, no doubt.

  • the best!!

  • There's really only one thing to say to this video and that's YEEEEEEE HAAAAAWWWWW :-)

  • LAG

  • mostrooooooooooooooo

  • EPIC EPIC EPIC !!!!

  • CAPOTANT

  • Ya.... this is MENTAL good!!!! Hahahahaha... I see someone gave this a thumbs down..... man... I'd give it a handfull of thumbs up.

  • Wow the spank ! Great lesson from that great guitarist. Thanks.

  • i remember singing this at college =)

  • Jez-zus Chrise!

  • ow my God...great musician....unbelievable

  • wet dreams!!!!!! Top this!!!! fking great!!!

  • How do you find his older stuff like this? Itunes doesn't carry any Albert Lee before 84'.

  • I love Albert Lee. Now everyone go out and buy one of those guitars. THEY ARE AMAZING

  • holly crap is all I can say, he is a god

  • heads hands and feet were so far ahead of their time . albert lee just keeps getting better and better ,,, if you can find any heads hands and feet vinyl pick it up and sit down and listen . I think the double album is by far the best

  • Amazing.

  • Is that Mike Parry on the joanna??!!

  • Dude that is flying.

  • And Brian tells me I've got some finger voodoo going. Yeah, right.
