Albert Lee... 4.10 just muckin around...comes out with an OMG!! masterpiece. Just so good

[@alexloweh1]

Amazing stuff.

[@marianhoffmann3067]

Great!

[@madeleinehague648]

'Can't wait to see him this summer. He's touring with Peter Asher. Maybe a sort of "show and tell (& sing)" event?

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Is there a more humble, nicer guy in music? And what a great guitarist - he's one of few!

[@djangotaylor]

I've known Albert a long time...and to play like him!...you need to throw away ALL the guitar chord pattern books!..and use 'partial' Piano chords to keep the Guitar chords together!...some of the chords only have 3 notes!...he plays with a plectrum and ALL 3 fingers left are used to create a sort of Piano sound...just try it?

Next time increase the sound level

[@kevinmorin7965]

audio was so bad, I clicked out in 3 seconds. Sleep! Don't you listen to your vids?

[@Digmen1]

i think Albert Lee is over rated. He is just a second level to all the other greats. They invented styles and sounds. he is just a copier with a thin weak sound.

[@khalaziafaqih367]

But he still better than you

[@cgawainf4785]

Well you must be just about the only person who has heard him play to think so. He is universally acclaimed and top musicians clamour to have him play with them. So what do you know, idiot? What's more, Albert is a nice modest man. I get the feeling your the opposite and know shit.
