rockabilly..never seen anyone keeping the groove when playing so fast, no hesitation, errors, clean..great voice also for this music..

[@andymoody8363]

I had the privilege of seeing Albert Lee last night in a small venue in Bromsgrove, he is the complete musician, brilliant technique, heart and soul by the bucketful and what a lovely guy! The best guitarist in the world is not an inappropriate title and not the slightest hint of ego. I hope he goes on forever, a true hero to anyone who loves music.

[@Pelefan1970]

Saw Albert at Swindon art centre, a night to remember and such a nice bloke. Had a nice chat after gig. Rock on Albert.

[@PlanetRockJesus]

He's such a gracious guy. I love his playing.

[@reachblowsdick7222]

I can listen to Albert shred on his guitar all day.

[@paulorton62]

he brings life into his guitar. his voice by its side. truly one of the greatest

[@GuitarPickle]

Better than ever. What a major talent. He shows no sign of slowing down or losing his magical touch. I sure do miss him hearing him playing a tele tough, but Albert could make any guitar sound great.

[@HoboGus]

Albert Lee is cool. One of the great rockers of all time.

[@bobgure]

I never tire of hearing Albert tear the fretboard up. Yeah man! Thanks for posting.

[@penzman5385]

How I went 60 years without noticing him baffles me.

[@diegooland1261]

good heavens how is that level of playing even possible. It just flows out of the guy.

[@jaimewalls8416]

It’s superhuman level, mortals can’t play like this.

[@johnjames9853]

I love Albert Lee.Never be another guy like him anymore.

[@bgdenham]

Undisputable king of country rock guitar, Albert Lee. The Queen should "Knight " him. Sir Albert Lee. I love it!

[@14.1guy2]

One of the very best ever.

[@etransform]

Albert Lee is awesome. Didn't realize he was English till I heard him speak at the intro to this video. Amazed that he was not "discovered" in the '60s when I grew up in London England and was crazy about the Stones, Beatles, Chuck Berry, and ga-zillion English groups who have now vanished from the music scene. So glad that Albert Lee has survived so well. He belongs to the top elite of R&R particularly the subset of the "English Invasion". Thanks for the post.

[@markferguson4864]

Such a genius great man with unlimited TALENT

[@HotRodSixString]

Albert Lee is a treasure

[@stringbender57]

Albert Lee is one of the best EVER!

[@bluesborn]

Albert has indeed been at it now for a very long time.He has probably forgotten more on the guitar than most of us will ever learn.Speaking of times past for those of you under 30 who may not have ever heard them check out Heads Hands and Feet one of Albert's early bands and a really great one at that.

[@derekstocker6661]

What a wonderful man, great guitarist too, just so down to earth and no old side to him. Great video, thanks for sharing this superb video!

[@joema6550]

Albert is a total stud on the git-box. It's nice to see that age isn't slowing him down. He still sounds great and plays stuff that makes even professional musicians tingle with envy. Thanks a lot for the video!

[@TheShizue777]

Mouldytone, you are a godsend. Thank you very much for sharing your Albert Lee treasury. I love You Tube for this very reason. Seeing and hearing Albert Lee's stellar musicianship. It's videos like yours. Mouldytone, that make a sweet alternative to TV. Thank you very much!!!

[@TheShizue777]

I hate letting the "old bird" in me out of her cage, Tony, but I have to say this about the old days: There was always room for talent. Even with all the channels, stations, and streams nowadays, you don't see anything approaching Albert Lee's musicianship. Today's Top 40 is one imitator imitating the one who came before. Next one up is always a little louder and "bling"-ier than the last. Thank you for sharing this wonderful, articulate, timeless virtuoso with us. Albert Lee is the greatest!

[@wsbill14224]

Lots of people talk about how well people play the guitar, but Albert Lee plays great, like Chet Atkins, and he can sing. To me that puts him up there with Glen Campbell and Roy Clark. All of them musical geniuses.

[@madeleinehague648]

Our jaws were on the floor at last year's gig in Toronto - such a delightful, beautiful guitar player. Joy coming right through his fingers, and a very nice man too.

[@MrTopsukka]

I saw Albert Lee two days ago in Pargas, Finland. He`s getting better and better. A strong dude

[@gordonrosenberg]

Just danced my feet off to this song by Albert last night, I can say that in 2016 he still very much has it!! WOW!!

[@aurelius5534]

wholesome

[@markstanfield7434]

Mr. Lee plays the cleanest and most precise double stops ever heard.

[@nickx2148]

Went to see Albert last year, best show I've ever been to. Met him after the show. The nicest man you could ever meet. Going to see him again in November at Hunstanton. Lots of tickets left. Treat yourself to a great night out!

[@Guitar387]

The thing with Albert Lea which is really unique and what a lot of people don’t realize is that he’s not just got great technique and speed. The biggest thing that makes him stand apart from other players is his ability to improvise and play the piece of music completely differently every time he plays it, the endless ideas that he produces with speed fluency timing and swing is never the same every time he plays them . I am not sure how he does this because lots of guitarists can learn a solo or a challenging piece of music note for note by copying it, but Albert will play it different every night and it will sound incredible.

[@impassable]

One of the things that gets overlooked with Lee is that he's not a bad singer either

[@kristofernewton422]

...ALBERT...is A REAL FINE SINGER...too.

[@SvendRJ]

This is pure gold guitarplay.. thanks for the upload

[@Rouxloubac]

Albert lee is simply the best guitarist in the world ever .

[@corneliadenninger5395]

Saw Albert LEE in concert one month ago. He is still great if you consider he´ ll turn 74 this year. Got the chance to talk to him backstage. He is very much down to earth and a real nice guy. Those are awesome memories. Thank you Albert !!!!! /CD

[@1952FMS]

One hellofa song fantastic band & Jesus what a violin player. Play on Albert, u rock!

[@chrislawson7983]

Learned a lot from you on your teaching videos, brother. One of the greatest thanks.

[@reesenemeth5163]

Albert Lee is the man!

[@jeanniebell9493]

Love Albert so much.

[@master1749]

i went to see him on tour he was amazing! GO ALBERT LEE!!

[@pretorious700]

I saw Albert in 1972 in London with Head, Hands, and Feet. wow!! It was a very strange band, but whenever he got a solo the hairs would stand up on the back of my neck. He has 2 or 3 excellent solo albums from back in the 80's worth buying if you can find them.

[@DirkjeA]

I saw him perform this year in Leeuwarden of all places, a not such a big city up North in The Netherlands. Man, what an experience of a lifetime.

[@jimiguitar100]

this complicated yet beautiful playing makes happiness and life look so simple

[@vaughansinclair2198]

I have been listening to this guy forever. Some friends mixed him up with Alvan Lee. OK. sorta the same sounding But: Albert is absolutely amazing. He is Doc Watson to Johnny Winter to Segovia to Duane, to Eric, to George to The Jazz, country and ??? Greats. All at once. Yeah, the Man can play! And he lifts me every time I need it. Thanks, Mr. Lee!!!!!

[@jessthehorse]

THE MOST fun I have ever had watching a guitarist live and I have seen many, not to mention having been one, was watching Albert at the old Agoura Valley Inn and other local "holes in the wall". Even nowadays when there are a lot more who play similar styles, Albert's "homemade" style of pickin' is just more fun than any other guitarist for my money!

[@Hello_there_obi]

awesome violin solo! i love this style of music

[@berkeleyhome]

I love Chet , and Burton...but swear to God....this guy brings me to tears with the way he can pick

[@careing57587]

Man this guy is good, and he's not hiding behind a stack of Marshalls either. You can hear every note...

[@catweazle2090]

....this Alien on the guitar makes it very hard for the phantastic guys on bass-drums and fiddle to keep up...... stay well Albert !!!!!

[@daf827]

I am awestruck every time I see Albert "tear it up"

[@terrytroughton5390]

All ways wished I was Albert, everyone else says play it the way you feel it!??

[@vainparasite]

Wow 42 years old and this is the 1st time i have heard Albert. What an amazing guitarist. Off to look for some more now :0)

[@jogreeen]

Just fell off my chair, this fella is just amazing.

[@eosdelb]

Thanks for uploading. He tore it up!

[@CaribSurfKing1]

1 thing all the great guitarists have in common is that the right hand is always moving with rhythm and muting the unwanted strings is never talked about how important it is!

[@EricCirca6566]

Tear it up is precisely what he does!

[@digitalboomer]

So Lee was about 62 in this video. Still goin' strong! Thanks for posting this.

[@pillroller88]

Just surfing through some you tube of my favorite guitarists today and hit on this Albert Lee you posted. Like a fine wine, even better with age. Like Chet Atkins got to be. Les Paul too.

[@NMG-Digital]

Amazing performance!

[@ttesoro]

The REAL guitar picker! Luv him!!

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

Albert in his yellow/ green supersuit and the power is on!

[@craigmclanachan1663]

Grows on ya, this does! great guitar and that fiddle - pretty special!

[@patrickjohngallagher]

Incredibly so! Such a tight performance and played at speed - it's mesmerising!!! Didn't want ti to stop!!!

[@Maguirearch]

[@alexmcleish8038]

[@nige99]

Goose bumps and tears in my eyes, if you dont dig that then your not breathing..

[@gextvedde]

How can the crowd still be sitting down! Just watching it on youtube makes me want to get up and dance (and believe me I can't dance).

[@grahamkennethgarbutt9261]

[@4lifeguitar]

He's so good it's scary

[@ricksfavorites9633]

Awesome!

[@Nhotavo]

Amazing!!

[@jimiguitar100]

beautiful again

[@Guitar387]

Clever trick he did with the whammy bar I’ve not seen Albert do that before.

[@jeffdawson2786]

Like some psycho guitar combination of Roy Clark and Steve Morse. Holy cow, he’s smokin’ hot. The ideas keep rolling in like a freight train.

[@paulorton62]

albert, humble andcool as a moose. greatness

[@mymama12314]

[@bigvoicebigsong]

[@stratmad]

What ever happened to the super group (Biff Baby Allstars) with AL, Steve Morse and Steve Lukather. I remember they played this song on TV once a long time ago, just AL and Steve Morse. Amazing.

[@clarkie101]

Albert is the best . no doubt

[@davidrpriest]

I love the fact that the best country and western player ever was born in England. It is the ultimate irony!

[@riskotibor80]
