Albert Lee Masterclass

[GUITARPOKEY]

IF YOU LOOK VERY CAREFULLY YOU CAN SEE HIS SECRET - HIS LEFT HAND HAS SIX FINGERS

[imw50]

I'd been playing acoustic guitar in an average way for some time. Then I heard Albert's solo on Luxury Liner in 1976 and it was like watching colour TV for the first time, I ran out and bought a Telecaster, practised Albert licks till my fingers bled and developed a whole new love affair with the instrument. He's has inspired me for 25 years. Incredibly, he just gets better and better.

I'm selling my guitar...there is no point anymore : \

[shearn666]

man the music just flows out of him...

seems like a really nice guy too

ACR08807, in reading the posting you put in response to AWOL12602's comment, I'm just wondering if you do anything with your brain apart from sitting on it. Or use your pros for anything but slagging Ppl off. Very valid point AWOL12602 made. As I'm the wife of Ray Smith from Heads Hands and Feet. And my husbands fans are important to him as all the rest of the boys. Next time think befor you write.

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Thank you!

excellent.

[awol2602]

Before he developed the quintessentially country style, with Head Hands and Feet he used a mellow almost Marvin tone and constructed a fabulous melodic solo on Song for Suzie

[acr08807]

awol, would you please rewrite your post, and this time please try to make it more pretentious. You only managed one hexasyllabic word, and I'm sure you can do better than that if you put your mind to it!

Albert is a legend no doubt about it but I have seen the future. His mane is Guthrie Trapp.

Check him out at.....

The Don Kelly Band walking the dog.

I am lucky enough to have Albert and the Heroes at my studio preparing for a big tour! TOP Guys awesome musicians :-) Have a good one Guys.

[musicbymax]

for chicken-picking fans watch the song of my fav guitar player (A.L. is awesome too ;) )

Guthrie Govan - Rhode Island Shred

You put Albert Lee in G3, he'd make Joe, Steve Yngwie, Paul & John, look like novices, I like the G3 guys, but this guy just puts them out to pasture.

[stethoscanomaly]

they play completely different styles. Albert lee almost certainly isnt practicing 8 finger tapping very often (not to say that he couldnt do it just as well as anyone else). He has a bluegrass rhythmic and melodic feel, ive never heard him play in any style similar to the g3 players. you can't compare them meaningfully.

[Achtelnote]

lol,such a stupid comment.albert himself said in a interview that he admires the guitarists of today and that he cant play like them.

[slashhare]

now that isn't true

[javadude54]

Albert Lee is a great example of a musician that knows there's a lot more to music than just playing the same scales over and over as fast as they can. He's got the chicken pickin' down but he's also a great rocker and is featured prominently on Eric Clapton's live album (JUST ONE NIGHT) version of "Cocaine" that got significant airplay in the late 70's/early 80's.

Rock on, Mr. lee.

[ramitupursnout]

Yeah, I had the "Just One Night" record and was blown away by Alberts work. Been a huge fan ever since!

[Songoku93]

Now, thats the way it`s told...

I`m just practising Lee`s Erin, who is on Speechless...

I have a feeling of that the song isn`t after a script or scale....I think he`s improvising...

That`s what so great with Albert Lee...

[BassBoy1000S]

They´ve got albums for sale =) isn't it hilarious? Or perhaps was laughing cause the camera guy mooned him... we'll never know.

Gotta love alle these solo's, anyone know if there's more of this on youtube? They left out some parts =(

[eldorado62]

Albert Lee was the lead guitar player for Chris Farlowe & the Thunderbirds back in the 1960's. Albert was great then, too.

[eldorado62]

Albert Lee was the lead guitarist for Chris Farlowe way back in the 1960's. Albert was great way back then too.

[arthurgt6]

my dad used to date his daughter haha

he is a legend

[2428musiclover]

god bless him..

[taildragger51]

I saw this guy first around 1969 with a band called "Head , Hands & Feet" in London. He's DYNAMITE!! When he was in Clapton's band in 1977 he oevershadowed Eric to the point of embarrassment.

[timechannel]

I saw Albert at a small gig at the Borderline Club in London..and I was standing next to ..yes you've guessed it.. Eric Clapton ! Mind you, best gig I saw there was Rory Gallagher playing a charity gig to a handful of people..he was awesome

[dirty1223]

Does this guy ever run out of licks ? WOW!

[wigwam1956]

Albert has been a play with Emmylou Harris back in the late 70s. What unique style indeed keep pickin Albert never get enough of you...

[wallaceguitars2007]

Albert you are so cool! - I will never be able play country boy!

[GunsNTeles]

Awesome my friend! I wish I could play like you on your worse day. Thanks for the years of inspiration:-)
