I love the bit where Albert says about "the Country Boy lick you just learned" Hold on Albert, I'm still on the tuning!

He's come a long way since reading my pamphlet on guitar playing.

Albert Lee's version of "I'll play it slower for you" is about 10 x faster than I can play.

This pretty much demonstrates that I'll never be able to play like him , thanks for the lesson .

We just learned. If I could learn that fast, I wouldn’t need to watch these videos.

After slow version I started crying!!!!

Albert Lee is a true guitar legend.

Oh my, I tuned my guitar and go ready to learn some cool licks.... I never played a note, just watched in total awe. Now I need to get back to the kiddies class 🤓

You’re honestly a hero for uploading this to KZfaq. This would have been lost forever to the void of outdated technology, but since you’ve uploaded it, guitar players everywhere can learn something from this brilliant master. Thank you so much!!

I saw him in a small club in LV in 2000. He couldn’t have been nicer. Talked to us fan boys between songs and answered questions. Prince of a man. He is also one helluva piano player. He played a really good cover of Great Balls Of Fire.

I really like this vintage tele tone he gets here, really beautiful!

Wow I feel like burning all my guitars... I really suck... been playing 45 years and still cant play but man can I appreciate someone who just gets it.... thanks Mr Lee. You are truly amazing. Thanks for taking the time to show us some amazing licks.

I’ve always been so impressed by Albert Lee and his guitar playing.🎸🎵

Damn! This guy can play. That is incredible technique. He is honestly one of the cleanest players I have ever heard.

What an immense maestro he is! ♥

He is so fast like Neo dodging bullets he is unable to even come down to our mortal level.even when playing slow for him he blazes

Albert is an absolute legend. What a great set of lessons.

Shredders, be afraid!

"Now I'll play it"slower, so you can see what I'm doing", SUPERMAN said as he descends from LIGHT SPEED, to .5 WARP !!!! What an amazing talent, and humble on top of all that!! God bless you Albert, and Happy Christmas, to you and yours. g

He has this grin on his face of someone knowing he found a secret treasure cove filled with gems 2 decades ahead of all the competition.

I was privileged enough to see him live with the everly brothers whilst working at the n.e.c , he did country boy as an encore what a brilliant player

I have always liked Albert; he is a great and wonderful guitarist who has been overlooked for many years.

I've been playing guitar for 20+ years. Never a country fan, but maybe because I never knew the original country. My Tele has become my favorite guitar. I just discovered Albert Lee, and this video is absolute GOLD! 👍

Never heard of this dude ever in my life before. But boy, can he play. I must have been living under a rock.

UNBELIEVABLE. Thank you for this glimpse into the world of a genius.

Just when you think you are any good and can play with any proficiency, there comes people like this that constantly push you to practice and become "better"... Albert just blew me away with his techniques and beautiful personality. Thank you for this!

Very helpful. Now I can do it perfect....

This is awesome. I’ve just recently gotten into learning country style guitar and this is hands down the most inspirational breakdown of different techniques and cool little go betweens. He plays fast but adjusting the playback speed helps a lot and so does a little ear training. Country music is pretty much three chords that walk around and the occasional ambiguous third. The most useful thing I’ve learned recently though is practice slowly and deliberately often. Notice how beaten in that fretboard is, this guy has put in thousands of hours of practice and playing and that is the real reason he is so good. Don’t get discouraged, time is just time.

Glad you played it slow for us...Albert lee, you are beyond incredible🔥🔥

The brilliant Albert Lee! Had the enormous pleasure of seeing him in concert in London pub 30 odd years ago. Simply fantastic!

I brought the bender out of retirement after a couple of decades. I remembered the star licks tape packed away and this site brought back some good memories. Thanks Albert! I also like the comment I'll slow it down for you.

Right him playing slow is bout 10 times faster than I play

The cheeky smirk is hilarious as he says "This is lick number 8!" and then you hear what lick number 8 is!

I have this teaching video on VHS Tape and have not been able to view it for several years. I have often thought I need to learn some of these amazing licks from this outstanding musician and have often searched for it on KZfaq; and, finally, here it is!!!

Many thanks for sharing this unique VHS lesson from one of the best! You're great person

Albert is freaking amazing! The best at this style I believe.

😂"and now I'm gonna play this lick slower so u can understand what I'm doing" and still it's über fast!!gotta love him!!

LOL! Yeah, play it "slower"! Still blows my mind. Guy's a genius.

Saw Albert several years ago at a music store workshop in Jacksonville, Florida. LOVED his playing, and he was a very humble, laid back, nice guy. Best I remember, he invented this style, and it has always been a favorite of mine.

What a great sound. I’m embarrassed I don’t know this guy.

Hermano Albert muchas gracias por la generosidad, las enseñanzas y la humildad, sos groso!

Thank You so much, I enjoyed that like I was 12 years old, seeing guitar playing the way it use to be, exciting and fun, with old timers I grew up loving from my church as a kid, I played rythm in the blue grass band we had banjo the fiddle, upright bass the mandolin instruments and 3 guitars what a great memory, I felt that same way watching Albert Lee, this is a great video, i know he enjoyed making this too. I might be to old to go that direction now but love music and playen for sure. God Bless Ya'll

Thanks for the lesson. I'm blown away! Public service? What a gift for guitar players.

Albert Lee has been one of my heros with tiger rag

Albert, you are such a lovable man - first of all.

Albert has always been one of my heroes. I met him once at the Ernie Ball/Music Man booth at NAMM back in the '80's and again with the Earl Scruggs Revue when I ran sound at the Beartrap festival. What a nice and humble guitar genius.

Brilliant player. Fair teacher. Just goes to show everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

I bet watching him and Johnny Hiland play together would be a blast.

The guy is effing great ! thanks for the post .

Love Albert Lee. His playing is amazing.

maybe i come back to this one...in about 40 years!

Truly a 'master picker, and often cited by greats such as Steve Morse, Vince Gill, and even Zakk Wylde as an influence....and for artists like Clapton, the everly brothers and many country greats, he is 'THE' guy to back them....I personally love his playing, and the admiration from millions, speaks volumes, thanks for this....owned a couple of hotlicks, and starlicks vids back in the day. Be blessed.

Wow ! Albert is just great, Les Paul and I always loved this kind of playing and would talk about how it was created. Albert also came to the Iridium Jazz Club in NYC. to perform and I was lucky enough to be the engineer. During that time the Les Paul Trio was still performing at the Iridium on Monday's after Les Pauls passing.

When I saw Albert Lee playing with the Eric Clapton band back in the mid-1980's at the Inglewood Forum, it was one of the most incredible concerts I've ever seen (and there have been dozens of "best ever" concerts, but this one was towards the top of the list).. The Forum wasn't even half full, because Clapton had been out of the spotlight for almost a decade, which may have spurred them on to play their best. They used a mixture of Music Man and Fender amps, Clapton playing his iconic Strat, and Albert playing his Telecaster. It was a magical experience, and one I will never forget - the were both inspired to play beyond their capabilities.. As incredibly good as Clapton was playing, Albert was playing just as good, or even better. I've seen Clapton many times since then, and he has never sounded as good. Albert always plays great, but I've not seen him play that good since. If only there was a recording of that concert..! I Loved it...!!

Thank you, Albert. Even your cheats are masterful.

I love country guitarists: Bren Mason, James Burton, Roy Nichols, Ray Flacke, Don Rich, etc., but this man is in the gifted class!! It's like he has another couple of fingers on each hand. Wow.

Without doubt, the greatest country guitarist ever to come from the UK. A ripper of a bloke too.

Oh man Albert keep killing it you're the best

He's something else, great stuff Albert.

He is BRILLIANT

Loved Albert's playing in Head, Hands, and Feet

I love Albert's voice 🥰

Love Al, he is just great.

Love the way he says I will play it slower and it still ends up 3 times the speed I can do it 😂😂😂😂

These lessons are for serious pro players! Even slowed down they're fast. Love the wear on the neck..

What a GOLD MINE for us guitar slingers...Thanks!!! 😎

Albert Lee is one of the best!

Albert Lee, an unheralded great

Love the sound...

Saw Albert at the Cheese'n'Grain in Frome at the weekend. He is STILL awesome!

Thank you! Great lesson!

Well, I was able to keep up with the tuning bit.

His rhythm on Dave Edmunds Liza is one of the greatest guitar pieces I’ve ever seen. Loving this upload. Thanks Jan.

BEST CHICKIN PICKIN LESSON EVER PRODUCED! .... Albert Lee is AMAZING! SUBSCRIBED! .... (keep it comin'!!!)

Pushing through so quickly (I'm no beginner or even intermediate) would have made having the dots (musical score) or even tablature if that's all that could be made would have made this valuable video absolutely invaluable !! Oh well, I'll make do with my eyes and ears to get the instruction from this most valuable of instructional video's. Thanks very much, Jan for the upload.

I was at one of these live in like 1994 and it was crazy fast. He demos at 100 mph and plays at 110!

I bought this when it first came out in VHS. Some rat stole it from me and I could never find another. Thank you for posting it.

THANK YOU for uploading this! And shame on KZfaq for inserting an ad less than 2 minutes into the video.

Always thought Albert is one of the hottest pickers on the planet, Thanks so much for the upload, love it !

Is there anyone as good as this guy. He's a freak and a hell of a humble guy!

hello handsome. Great video and toutor.

This'll be the intermediate to advanced level lesson:-)

So good!!

Wow look at that boss tuner! Haha. Classic

Man, I had this great lessons on VHS, but it is totally corrupted. Tried to find it on DVD, but here it is on KZfaq. Thank you!

Albert is the man!!

Amazing! So that's how its done!

Albert Lee is genious, Man!

I thought I knew quite a bit about music, but I'd never heard of Albert Lee before. What an amazing talent. I'm blown away.

Well, that's set my guitar playing ability back a few centuries. I guess this is the reason guys like him are up there with people like Clapton etc, top of their game, because they can do stuff that we really just struggle with.

This is so old, like 1990 or so, Albert is still touring but he gets tired

You are the best of the best thank you

OUCH! Jeesh Albert ... You're scary good! Back to school time!

Many thanks

The video is great, but the comments! Cannot stop laughing! So let that be a comfort for the players that can not keep up with Albert ( basicly everybody.. ) : making a funny comment is also quite an achievement! Thank you!

He is out of this world 💕👍🇸🇪

this man, albert lee is a genious, he is the best, there is.

Awesome brother ! But you sure made me nervous with that headstock bobbing around that coffee cup .

Thank you so much for posting this. I this have the booklet with the tab for this video. My vhs tape bit the dust, been looking for this video for years.
