This man is the nicest guy in the world ,I sent him a letter telling him I needed to sell an old original Les Paul burst,,,I was trying to buy my first house.I didnt know Albert from Adam.He called me back and we spoke for about an hour ,,,turned out he didnt buy it but he directed me to someone who did,,again hes a great old school Englishman and the nicest guy in the world,,,Thank you Albert !

Excellence + humility + grace = Albert Lee....love and respect, man

You can see why Eric Clapton kept Albert Lee even after reshuffling his backup group several times! His work with Emmy Lou Harris, Eric Clapton and the Everly Brothers is classic. I never get tired of listening to him play or listening to his interviews. He should do more instructional videos like this. His humility and grace shine through.

This guy is a genius on guitar and that is obvious. But what is beautiful is the absence of "star" attitude. The kind of attitude only great can have

Exceptional guitar playing and exceptional humility. What a combination

Saw him many years ago when he was backing Clapton, what a treat that was!

Man I love alberts playing so much He has it all plus a beautiful human being too

Oh man - he's great. My band mate and I were in between shows in Branson, MO in '92; he was in town with the Everlys. We were behind the venue to see if he'd sign our guitars. He not only signed them, but visited with us at length. Such a warm guy. Also met Buddy Emmons out back there that night. He just gets better with time. Also met James Burton again that same year. Same thing. Spent the whole evening with us. Completely devoid of the "star" thing - Chet was the same. Unearthly talents - kind sweet people.

Très très grand guitariste, et humble avec ça... Bref du talent à l etat brut.. Bravo monsieur Lee. Avec toute mon administration et mon respect 👍....

My all-time guitarist . Met him once , very very nice man. ❤

Albert must be one of the most proficient and knowledgable guitarist's in the world. His history of guitar usage and the wonderful people he has guided or worked with is fantastic. Just watching this demo of his skill makes him a standout figure in guitar history. Thank you for sharing.

I've met and chatted with Albert a couple of times, he even played and signed my Tele, I even have photos of him playing it! I cannot say enough about what an absolute gentleman he is. He's just likes he comes across in this video, warm, humble, chatty and entirely without any ego.

Man, that guitar sounds absolutely gorgeous. One of THE most beautiful cleans in the world.

One of the best guitarists ever and yet so humble. Wonderful human. The king of improvisation...no doubt. So much to learn from Lee, apart from his music. God bless always.

Albert is a true guitar player in every sense. His Albums ,Speechless and Gagged But Not Bound a good place to start [essential guitar albums].Ritchie Blackmore said it right, Albert Lee beat them all back in the day.

Wow, what a sense of timing. He's like a human metronome. And his improv is second to none. He can play the same piece five times and never play it the same. A true legend.

What a great guitar player and such a nice man. The world needs more like Albert Lee.

HE IS STILL A YOUNG GUY , IMAGINE HOW HE WILL PLAY IN TWENTY YEARS ; thanks albert

I love Albert Lea! His singing and his paying. He is one of the best and one of my very favorites. And he has the sweetest disposition and the most handsome face and the most angelic face!

This man is not normal😂 know one is playing this it’s from another planet!! Seriously though, he’s incredible. Effing scaring! And a fantastic bloke to boot! He’s just amazing👌👌👌

The REAL genius is always humble... Albert Lee a legend of blues guitar.

Albert Lee is one of a kind guitar genius. I'm a bigger fan of Steve Morse's music but if I want to hear the most excellent country-style improvisation, I always go to Albert Lee. They're my two favorite guitarists. And they both seems like the nicest guys in the world.

This Lesson is About 3 years Worth of Practice , Fantastic Guitarist , Thanks Albert

He was this good when I first saw him in London in 1971 or 72 with Heads Hands & Feet doing Country Boy - a song that also has delightfully witty lyrics. By that time Albert was already well known by many musicians in town.

you believe this !!! We are getting guitar lessons from the greatest !! It like jumping into the front of the lineup !

I set a guitar up for him. Met him later at Summer NAMM, and couldn't hear a single word he said... I didn't care, it is Albert Lee and he shook my hand, he could have said I did the worse job ever, and I still wouldn't have cared... Albert Lee shook my hand. I never get star struck, but I was honored to meet.

Such a tasteful player. Just a humble gem of a person

If I could just learn to play the triplet double-stops on his General Lee solo I'd die a happy man. Genius!

Simply amazing ,Just great .

Going to see Albert at our local theatre on 6th June - small intimate 200 seat theatre, should be a great evening!

He is on tour in the UK at the moment, I saw him last week in a small 400 seater in Monmouth Wales, absolutely awesome. He never plays any song the same way twice, it's how he feels it at the time.

Thank you so much for this video. As the best musicians, Albert is such simple, and generous. And he is great ! Also the way to play with the delay is just very true and precise. Effectively it sounds like Jerry Reed, for our pleasure. Jerry brought a new breath in picking style(s). It is so great to see this will continue.

SO humble. Like all the true greats.

I really like this guy, he seems so unpretentious. He is also a great guitarist in his own rite.

THIS is why Albert is my favorite country player.Humble gent,Intelligent playing,yet understandable to my pea brain!🤪.NOW I know the delay setting Nuno used On Flight of the bumblebee solo.

I love those 'pedal steel' like bends - so expressive.

I love this really born to play guitar it must be in the genes ! thx

Thank you for showing your techniques but more importantly you such a humble player.

I reckon he could just look at a guitar and the chuffing thing would just start playing, amazing man truly awesome sounds .

WOW how can anyone be that good - Awesome!!!

He did a clinic at a store I teach at in Redwood City Calif. I sat and talked with him. He is the absolutely nicest guy you’ve ever met. A real gentleman. And what a scary player.

Albert's the man!! So under appreciated

Absolute genius....father of all guitarists 💗💗

The magic Albert Lee!!

Brilliant musician great human!

So brilliant and yet so self effacing. A great guy!

you are amazing, Mr Lee

Un super guitarrista....gran técnica...y sobretodo una velocidad de dedos endemoniadamente maravillosa ....un virtuoso muy infravalorado y no tan reconocido como debería.... tocando armonías en los conciertos tras las espaldas de otros guitarristas cómo Clapton....siendo que Albert Lee lo supera a él y otros tantos famosos mediáticos......grande Albert Lee!!!!

One of the very best!..Cheers!

what a humble talent!!

He is one of the best

Wow. Albert is the real king!

This shouldn't be called a lesson. It should be called: Albert Lee - You Will Never Be as Good as Him At least thats what I took away from the video and this man's brilliant playing.

One of the greatest

What a great artist. Such a fantastic picker almost banjo style

the best are the always most modest

That sounds good, smooth

Ok guitar. It was a nice 30 years we had together but I've had enough. Cheers Albert. I hope you're happy!

Awesome guitar player.

You can sit there you whole life and woodshed Albert Lee's technique and you will still never sound like him or be in his league. He is a one of kind and the very best ever at what he does. I am really not a fan of his music but I am not aware of anyone else who can play it.

Thank you for existing Albert...

Just when you think you've seen everything Kool down on a guitar ,and WOW now this, Thanks Al

About 20 years ago..was trying to learn this..I had the VHS..someone borrowed it and lost it..oh well tis life. I was playing around with it this morning..enjoyed the video btw. The way I am starting to relearn this..never had it perfect..but close.. I find it best to play the chords of the intro to get started..lol about 16 bars of a chord on the intro. My ear hears a little Brent Mason in this..those into licks are definitely from the G bluegrass lick .the G Lester Flat Lick. My guess is Albert Lee probably played just a little with a few bluegrass musicians. Lastly I found that using just the fingers lightly strumming at the brake neck speed..it eventually will start coming. I review this every so often.I guess I got a pick out a mess of greens.

I never met the guy but i think he,s an owesome nice guy! And of course a very good guitar player, all the best Albert!!

Super psyched to see him tonight in Berkeley at the Freight & Salvage

I was doing that delay effect when I was a teen after hearing Brian May do that 3 delay thing. I was copying so many classic rock players. But Albert here is just monster at this country sounding stuff!

One of the greatest guitar playing legends of all time.

Nice guy and a guitar LEGEND!

i mean... Chuck Berry's Johnny be good first turned me onto guitar, when i started playing Steve Vai was my hero, then i learned of Joe Satriani, the g3 concerts, malmsteen is an epic beast! but one day i found mr Albert Lee playing country boy at one of the Eric Clapton Crossroads festivals, and my world of guitar playing changed forever, but it took several years of my playing not progressing despite playing regularly, and i realised that i never learned to play the guitar cleanly and every effect was to hide some mistake or imperfection Sure i still love blistering lightning solos with tons of gain, delay, overdrive, distortion etc, but the bottom line remains the same, if you can play as well as Albert Lee with a clean tone then you have entered the winners circle on guitar. A few years later and i am still on the outside looking into the winners circle lol and still cannot play anything by Albert Lee. I should have tried a lot harder, but some things just need to be left to the experts. My passion is kinda lost because arthritis in my joints is making life tough, but i still pick it up and play whatever i feel like playing, at this point i have given up on trying to be better, i just try to play what makes me happy, if i am happy then thats all i need. But man wouldnt it be nice to be able to stop people in their tracks with your playing?

Just discovered him. What a fucking player. Amazing.

I've just his fan club must see him live!

Okay Albert. I get all that. I'm putting my guitar on Ebay tomorrow!

Genius Legend and a true Gentleman

Wow . Brilliant!

Thank you, that was very entertaining and interesting.

thanks for sharing. Excellent stuff

Yip remarkable 🎸 st he was clearly inspired by a lot of great American guitarists but seemed to pull a syle from there teqniques what a cool sounding great guy what a player 👍👏

The great Mr Lee.

Great lesson from a great player

great stuff...rock on albert...genius

Albert seems like such a nice guy

Nice touch Mr Albert Lee!

Very interesting great guitarist

This should be titled Albert Lee and a bottle of water. This is a great video

Thanks for posting. Amazing skill.

I love this man :-*

Smooth bends on that maple slab . Go cat go .

I just Love that guitar,,looks a kind of Odd,,but i have tried one and know,,,it just awsome

That Right Hand Technique is more than Half of his Playing style right there . Always watch the great Ones Right hand technique

just wow! I use my little finger on my picking hand? Running to my guitar. Amaze balls!

proper talent and sound guy - unlike music of today full of talentless brats

Oh I wish I could play like Lee.

I learn nothing from his lessons except my shortcomings.

I was recently turned on to Mr. Lee. What a fine guitarist (putting it mildly) and likeable fella. I could listen to him play/watch him play all day. Awesome.

my hands say oh brother while my brain says uncle.

awesome!!!!!

Respect ✊. One of the greats up there with Roy Nichols

Nice bloke phenomenal guitar player

WOW, just WOW

Love this bloke
