Alvin Lee, One of the all-time greats. He appeared unbilled at one of my regular bars back in the late 80's, In Atlanta. Fastest hands I've ever seen. BAR NONE!!
One of my favorite blues guitarists ever. LOVE Alvin! Want to see him LIVE, does he ever tour anymore or does he stick close to home? I love all these old rockers--like me--still rocking on & never stopping. I'm grateful for every one of them still alive & making incredible music.
@FabioGrOoVe91 watch his hand when it gets dirty he turned up the guitar..then turns it down a bit to clean it up.... he could have a pedal too. but he is using that volume too...
@FabioGrOoVe91 Alvin says he doesn't use effects, just the guitar via a curly lead straight into the amp. That tone is from the overdrive channel of his Marshall amp.
Too many folks think you need a pedal to get a decent drive sound and don't really give the amp a chance to show what it can do.
I been playing for 40 years on the guitar, was at the original Woodstock, saw Alvin in T.Y.A. and met Janis, Jimi, Country Joe, and many more. Nowadays generations are about the money, not the quality.
The 6 dislikes I cant believe that they are human! Are donkeys allowed to post comments here?
? I didnt think they were that smart. I have been listening to Alvin Lee since Woodstock and it dosent get any better. The man is just pure musical genius.

@MrPow19 amen ur absoluley right... rock doesn't get any better than Alvin... yes i get the blue and it hurts me deep inside... i crank up slow blue in C and rock my blues away
Come to think of it, I think I got a little drunk listening to Alvin Lee & Company back in the 70's/ it's a little foggy now, but I believe we had a good time.
the really fucked up thing bout this exchange is that it is exactly what's goin on in US politics. i was basically agreeing with moose, he didnt get it, he goes and looks up and writes shit all over all my demo clips. and accuses me of limiting his free speech rights, like our "left wing prez" . how dense, misinformed & paranoid are these folks? glad i'm not stateside right now. i don't know how y'all can deal with it. hey moose! l LIKE ALVIN LEE. i LIKE YOU! it's all gonna be okay. relax
You are playing better than ever! Awesome! Guess I'm going to have to start learning Alvin Lee licks again for the first time since you basically taught me to play many , many years ago.
@ghostwrx Yes, they are out there and TYA, et al were out there 30 or 40 years ago, in the clubs and gatherings. Just like Trucks, et al. The truly great ones are never acclaimed until it is too late. SRV was mostly invisible during his life. It took years and years to raise him above backscatter...
@mizzou79tiger, I appreciate your love of guys like Alvin Lee, etc., but to say there are no guitarists like them is displaying a bit of ignorance. You need to explore artists such as Derek Trucks, Widespread Panic, Gov't Mule and quite a few others before you commit to that statement.
I commit and believe it. I have seen enough concerts and listened to enough music. Alvin Lee is second to none. Other greats include Ronnie Montrose, Johnny Winter, etc. Different generations and each has its own opinion. Most overrated guitarist - Jimmy Page and Keith Richards. To say Lee is sloppy shows compete ignorance bad muddy!
he has ALWAYS been an incredibly sloppy & insensitive player, with an absolutely atrocious feel & vibrato. sorry, but he was nowhere near the caliber of the great players of the 60's, like clapton, hendrix, beck, bloomfield, mick taylor, peter green, et. al. his playing has always made me cringe...
@badmuddy ..... Don't tell me let me guess: You're hearing impaired right? You grew up thinking David Cassidy from The Partridge Family was the greatest guitarist of all time? You're a Moron? All of the above?
@moose1952 come on man, he likes clapton, beck hendrix.. he s not a partridge family fan. or a moron. and alvin is one of the sloppiest (yet , curiouslx effective!) blues guitarists EVER. ("goin home" woodstock) really. listen to it. it's reeeeally sloppy. do you play? do you have ears? bad muddy isnt a moron, but he is maybe a bit to antiseptic in his tastes.
@moose1952 hey moose, thanks for shitting all over my demo clips. yer blocked Bitch. you got anything more to say to me , come to frnakfurt, i'll be glad to discuss it with you. get a life.
dont know why but in the 60, even the best ones sounds better there, than today or other years, 60s was a magical era, everything yoiu witshed came true
There will never ever ever be another Alvin Lee, the generation that were kids when we were young, has no idea what music is, they think cRap is music ,what a joke, I'm gonna kill your moma and screw your sister while you watch bitch, what kind of music is that, answer, it's cRap.
u can't compete with alvin lee he's a fucking savage on guitar more like an animal he can't be touched literally and nobody plays as fast and as clean as him sure you got yngwie malmsteen and guys like gary moore but they don't have the soul for the blues they just play scales really fast theres no passion or soul to it it's just not in them..im not hating on those guys there definently talented but not in a bluesy way.
you hit the nail right on the head, a savage, and animal, but in the VERY best possible sense, almost inhuman, an ak-47 on full auto, i saw him a number of times, it was incredible, it was like a force that would come out of the amps and grab inside your skull and rip your fucking brain out through your ears !!! the blistering speed and sheer command of the fret board, total mastery, he just went a few steps beyond the other greats of the day, and not to put any of them down in any way at all
Ha ha,,i used to spend all of my paper round money on his albums,,,the first album i bought was ,,Rock and roll music to the world !!!,,need i say more!!!,,
Guitar players like Alvin Lee, Ronnie Montrose and Leslie West don't exist anymore. Truly the greats who paid their dues. The MTV generation makes millionaires and brands from the likes of Justin Biebre, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez. They never worked the clubs. Technology makes talent less people stars, not hard work and respect. Here's to Alvin and his generation.

@FunnyBoi26 He certainly is very, very good. Try Peter Green in Peter Greens original Fleetwood Mac line up. Green Manalishi, Oh Well are good ones. He doesn't display the speed of Alvin Lee, but the touch is brilliant. Alvin Lee in Ten Years After were from about three miles from where I grew up. They were just before my time otherwise I'd probably have met them on the local circuit.
For a man that thinks Alvin is rubbish you sure listen to a lot of his work.Pretty childish to troll through his songs making the same stupid comments.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i wanted to like him cuz he can play and he has good backup musicians.. but after buying some of his work and live stuff and hearing the SAME THING over and over i felt duped... and i just have to see if anyone else notices... the trolling is just for feedback i swear!
He calls this "Slow blues" but he is one of if not the fastest and cleanest players there ever was, and this is nothing like "Redhouse" except it is the same time progression.....Respects to Jimi...
What I want to know is .withall the different styles of music and the personal enjoyment of each. The only reason for the tube rage coment is the tube rage not the son or artist// I loved Alvin Lees music so much I went out and bough a new Gibson SE 335 in Warrenssburg Missouri I 1974. Been jammin every since
I've been a big Alvin Lee fan since I bought 'Undead' about 40 years ago, but in the general scheme of things is there anything more boring than a 'slow blues in C' ?? The very phrase makes my heart sink. You just know the guitar solos are going to be too long and worst of all the fecking bass player is going to show no imagination whatsoever. Dum-dedum-dedum....
stupid fucking idiots what fuck does white black jew have to do with great blues. go to some skinhead site to run you're faggot mouth and they will shoot you for being a stupid fucking idiot
lol agreed. Problem for some of you skinhead fux, might be that ALL American music was derived from slave field hollers, which transmogrified into rag, delta blues, swing, country, rock and roll, r&b, classic rock, and so on. You can thank the blacks for most of what you hear, today.
Thanks to Son House, Charley Patton, Robt Johnson, Blind Blake, Willie McTell and the others.
The first amendment may give you the right to free speech but as many before you have found out it does not protect you from the ramifications of your words. I suggest you go and read about your actual first amendment rights. Particularly the part about hate speech and how it is not protected as well as you seem to think.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Blues music and its many offshoots have poisoned the White Race. All this music is good for is sitting around, getting high, and generally acting like niggers. Come back to the Volk! Get into the only true rock 'n' roll. Get into White Power Rock 'n' Roll. Save yourself. Or are you still that stupid that you can't see what's going on? Come back!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To mrgoat01: Yes, the White race has lost. Today, white guys are in the same situation that Jews found themselves in 1930 Nazi Germany. But, have to admit it, whites today are so stupid, we deserve extinction. Oh, by the way, to the three people who indicate my other comment should be removed: You dopes obviously have no use for the First Amendment, and all I can say is: Shame on you!
Now THAT was a guitar lesson.... So cool to see Alvin play slow blues..... Truly one of the greatest ever.... notice the subtle feel involved in his vibrato.... and brilliant call and response phrasing!
Thanks! I'm going to check it out! I always knew this guy was out there but did not realize he still performed and is so great. Hey who put that red - on my comment?!
haha i didnt if you are wondering ill change it for you. But yeah if you think this is great Im going Home is his classic iconic performance it will for sure blow your mind.
Vintage Alvin-- the impeccable phrasing, the seamless transitions between melodic runs and jazz chording. So sweet! Funny how he turns a "slow" tune into a runaway freight train. Thanks for posting this gem.

What I want to know is .withall the different styles of music and the personal enjoyment of each. The only reason for the tube rage coment is the tube rage not the son or artist// I loved Alvin Lees music so much I went out and bough a new Gibson SE 335 in Warrenssburg Missouri I 1974. Been jammin every since

I've been a big Alvin Lee fan since I bought 'Undead' about 40 years ago, but in the general scheme of things is there anything more boring than a 'slow blues in C' ?? The very phrase makes my heart sink. You just know the guitar solos are going to be too long and worst of all the fecking bass player is going to show no imagination whatsoever. Dum-dedum-dedum....

stupid fucking idiots what fuck does white black jew have to do with great blues. go to some skinhead site to run you're faggot mouth and they will shoot you for being a stupid fucking idiot

lol agreed. Problem for some of you skinhead fux, might be that ALL American music was derived from slave field hollers, which transmogrified into rag, delta blues, swing, country, rock and roll, r&b, classic rock, and so on. You can thank the blacks for most of what you hear, today.
Thanks to Son House, Charley Patton, Robt Johnson, Blind Blake, Willie McTell and the others.

The first amendment may give you the right to free speech but as many before you have found out it does not protect you from the ramifications of your words. I suggest you go and read about your actual first amendment rights. Particularly the part about hate speech and how it is not protected as well as you seem to think.

Blues music and its many offshoots have poisoned the White Race. All this music is good for is sitting around, getting high, and generally acting like niggers. Come back to the Volk! Get into the only true rock 'n' roll. Get into White Power Rock 'n' Roll. Save yourself. Or are you still that stupid that you can't see what's going on? Come back!

With the election of Mr. Obama we can only assume the white's lost the race... craker.

To mrgoat01: Yes, the White race has lost. Today, white guys are in the same situation that Jews found themselves in 1930 Nazi Germany. But, have to admit it, whites today are so stupid, we deserve extinction. Oh, by the way, to the three people who indicate my other comment should be removed: You dopes obviously have no use for the First Amendment, and all I can say is: Shame on you!

Vintage Alvin-- the impeccable phrasing, the seamless transitions between melodic runs and jazz chording. So sweet! Funny how he turns a "slow" tune into a runaway freight train. Thanks for posting this gem.
