Albert Lee & Vince Gill - Tiger Rag

American Music Shop

[@davidratliff807]

It really doesn’t get much better. Two masters doing their thing!

[@guitarreilly]

gotta say Vince Gill knows how to nail a solo

[@berkeleyhome]

Vince, Albert, keyboardist, fiddler..holy god..these guys are amazing

[@lorenzomcnally6629]

Albert Lee is lost tribe Gypsy. Gypsies are some of the best musicians in the World. Think Django Reinhardt. and then Albert Lee. Albert's solos playing with Ry Cooder and Eric Clapton in Clapton's 1983 tour we're best solos slow or fast I've ever heard. Absolutely every tone, including exquisite smooth distortion, melody, arpeggio, rock, country, jazz, slow, fast long, short, fills and rhythm played with more feel and soul than I've ever heard. In one man playing a guitar. And in this case trading beautifully with Clapton and Cooder. He is without a doubt the most humble and friendly guitar playing genius alive today. And, I've seen and/or heard them all.

[@pabloperez4063]

I AM ThE most humble guitar player ever.....because I AM ThE W O R S T

[@jamesedwards2237]

Clicked on like before I even heard them play. Anything Albert Lee is playing has to be good.

[@peteryoungpeteryoung965]

These two are probably the best two living pickers.

[@Fitzliputzli23]

Wow! This is the very best out of the very best playing together. One of the toughest pieces of music played with ease and aplomp. Every single one of them is a world's top level musician. No compromise, no "pretty good", no middle class. On of these rare lucky moments in music history caught on tape. ThanXXX for posting!

[@jokermaan1]

Every musician in Nashville is good, so to get to play with Vince and Albert you have to be exceptional!

[@ChannelJtotheD]

Awesome music. Every musician is killing it

[@Moisesgtr]

Albert Lee is the King!!!!

[@billbranch1]

And one more thing about Vince: he plays great rhythm guitar, doesn't just go through the motions.

[@Hjaltland2]

OMG what a track! The fiddle solo from Mark O'Conner was something else too

[@5jonesville]

Marc O'Conner held a lot of the great players and singers together for big time pickin' sessions. This is heaven.

[@davidmolyneux5289]

Vince's tone is just madness..

[@lambert1702]

Vince's Tele sounds great. Wish Albert had never gotten away from playing his old Teles. That EB always sounds so anemic.

[@parismetro2012]

@@lambert1702 how right you are!

[@Kevin12416]

Great pickin by both gentlemen. Absolutely awesome!

[@sinspot666]

I'd give my big toe for Vince Gill's guitar tone on this video.

[@barrienunn-burrell3095]

Both good Albert was the main man,unbelievable.

[@crlguitar1]

Wow....They were so young when this was recorded!

[@notvisible8200]

Albert Lee might be one of the greatest guitar players of all time, Metal, Rock, Country etc...

[@lorenzomcnally6629]

Easily the truth. And, ALL the professional giants will say that with absolute certainty. Rock, country, Jazz and virtually ANY music this man can play including classical genius' effortlessly. He is amazing and insanely modest.

[@sdushdiu]

..."MIGHT be?.......... ;-)

[@pabloperez4063]

Metal ???? He doesnt like it

[@susandeason1356]

Not Visible no argument here!

[@richardgoffin-lecar1951]

I would have said, without a doubt. Pure genius!

[@SuperJralph]

Vince is Gillin it.

[@Funkyryno]

Vince Gill is the man. I love that dude.

[@SuperJralph]

Saw Albert and his band Hogans Heroes in DunLaoghaoire Pavilion Theatre about 3 or 4 years ago. Brilliant night.

[@TheBlakem]

The best playing ever! WOW.

[@milesterwillegar9973]

Holy! Moly! Albert is right there with Roy Clark for speed, and precision. I love Vince for his great guitar talent, and vocals, but Albert can REALLY lay it down!

[@wolfbytes4461]

Albert Lee is INSANELY good ...

[@tenaciousdave7836]

Amen and he doesn’t use all his fingers like Chet Atkins!

[@davidgrout1056]

Albert is better than Roy ever was. Roy had speed and flash, but Albert's on a different level in terms of phrasing and imagination.

[@MrStevecro]

first heard discovered Albert Lee when I heard a kick-ass solo on Dave Edmund's "sweet little Lisa" in 1979 album "Repeat when necessary". From that point on I put him as my favourite Brit guitarist. Various U.S. female country singers latched on to him as their guitarist of choice from that point. Emmylou called him "her little caveman"

[@sheila9893]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️❤️

[@TheEzzieboy]

lot of masters on that stage. Even "handsome Harry " on drums.

[@iblockpuncheswithmyface1490]

Kevin Welch's drummer?

What a great example of Anglo-American co-operation! Brilliant stuff. Thanks for posting.

[@wolfbytes4461]

anglo american?

[@murrmac]

Vince Gill is American ... Albert Lee is English .... hence "Anglo -American co-operation..

[@mt-nv4jd]

Ol' Mark tearin it up.

[@laney50w]

DAMN! That was some seriously BAD ASS playin' right there!!!

[@carolbiggs722]

Vince Gill is my favourite

[@counselor2005]

Daaaaammmmnnnn …

[@steveaga1]

@TheMavenFrankeus Mark O'Connor ...one of the most incredible musicians...ever! Great guitarists too.

[@JCKAMK]

Thanks for posting. I miss American Music Shop

[@JurassicPaw]

omg i NEVER THOUGHT THAT THIS COULD TOP THE ORIGINAL FROM alBERT!

[@RockinWhitlow]

Absolutely superb - but this arrangement is based on the recording in Paris by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grapelli with the Quintet of the Hot Club of France from around 1934. Wonderful stuff - I actually applauded in front of my computer when it finished! Gotta go and practise...

[@pfaffman100]

Simply put, brilliant.

[@wolfbytes4461]

yeah, who's on keys? anyone know?

[@charles43110]

I am amazed every time people "discover" just how incredible Vince is. Just like I shake my head when people dis Clapton. Differences, not ranking who is better. Chosing to be who they want to be. Playing what they want to play.

[@Lanearndt]

I just love how so many great country singers of the last several decades have also been totally rippin' pickers. Ricky, Vince, Brad Paisley etc etc etc.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

Brad Paisley? what about Peyton Manning?

[@johnrothfield6126]

Wow Albert Lee plays incredibly! Frizzy hair

[@billbranch1]

Absolutely. Since he's now a little older, he seems to be forgotten. He has a sweet voice and a sweet tone on guitar. Too bad.

[@paulorton62]

i wish iha my life to live over. Alot less partying and a whole lot more albert and practice ,practice, practice

[@railcar123]

Albert Lee BURNS!

[@1ok4u]

Excellent !!!!

[@strawman8]

Is that Marc on the fiddle..awesome pickin man.Thanks.

[@goldrb6]

Jerry Douglas on pedal steel!!!

[@jamespasifull3424]

You should check out his work on the BBC series Atlantic Sessions. The best Folk/Roots music show......ever!!

[@JCKAMK]

To: seattwa. this clip was from twenty years ago, BEFORE Albert went gray (now white)

[@mikenelson1312]

These two guys have been known to scare guitar pickers to death.

[@fattymcfatterson3651]

Was this the Nashville Network? It looks like late '80s/early '90s when Vince was well...thinner...but...so was I...

[@fishbake7]

Lots of guitar shredding without without it being bothersome

[@richardv.582]

👏👏

[@kamspork8408]

turn down the fiddle

[@TheMavenFrankeus]

The fiddle dude rocks more than anyone in this clip

[@PoppyHoc]

@TonyRush I believe it is Matt Rollings.

[@Arckoo]

Does anyone know if this performance was ever put on a cd (on a Albert Lee-album or maybe a compilation-cd)? I know another version can be found on one of Lee's albums but it's not this version with Vince and Mark :(

[@PostColorGear]

@charles43110 Well Vince is soooooo well known for his great singing alot of people overlook his guitar playing. I had that ah-ha moment myself. but once I did, I realized what a great OVERALL talent he was....

[@TonyRush]

Who's that on piano? Great licks!

[@BluesMan88]

@StarfireEKS Albert Lee, Making you wanna get better at the Guitar since 1943

What did he say?

Where's the sheet music?

[@IvoryTears1]

I will never play guitar again!

@steveaga1 Aha, thanks!

[@Arckoo]

PS: who's that guy on the keyboards?? He plays f*cking well cool!!

[@illgoggia]

and here's again jerry douglas... doesn't solo but seems is the only one who can stand with the biggers.. mark'o connor is also not mentioned but plays a badass fiddle, as usual :)

[@iloveyouemily]

Great, GREAT flat-picking. How many actual notes do you think he played in this song??

[@nonstoprocker5377]

Woo Hoo...now that was some pickin man!

[@17bobbyboy]

Who's playing the piano ? Is that Matt Rollings ?

[@mattschaffer2414]

Yes it is Matt Rollings.

[@dongkysp8870]

One question: can Albert make his guitar "cry"?

[@Wookie8058]

Albert Lee can make his guitar do ANYTHING.... He's THAT good.....

[@TheMavenFrankeus]

@DragonRory17 Eric Clapton knows Albert Lee is English :):):)

[@blndrckr]

Dammm...so maybe I CAN get away without hybrid picking!?!

[@billbranch1]

Harry Stinson

Harry’s a great drummer!! Marty Stuart is lucky to have him in the Fabulous Superlatives

[@caniican]

somebody missed a note in there:-)

[@BoingBB]

Yeah... I think it was the drummer... :)

[@kifliter1]

NO !!!

someone turn that damn violin down!!!!!

Looks like Albert dyed his hatr. He was totally gray years ago.

[@doubleotwentyone]

Albert is great but Vince is one hell of a picker.....

[@dabneyoffermein595]

yes, he's one of the best flat pickers is Nashville right now

[@jamespasifull3424]

@@dabneyoffermein595 Albert's been one of the best pickers for 50 years plus!!! 😲😲😲

[@apostasiaelegcho5612]

@@dabneyoffermein595 I enjoy his playing, but there's 20 guys on the street corner in Nashville that school him. None of them can sing, which is why you've never heard of them.

[@frepler]

Not hardly.

[@notvisible8200]

Albert Lee might be one of the best ever, beside Danny Gatton.

[@pbyardh]

It's the whole picture - this kind of music is just not out there anymore. Sucks.

[@Digmen1]

If Albert had used a Gibson or a Telecaster he would have sounded a whole lot better.

[@lambert1702]

Too bad Albert doesn't play Teles anymore; His EB model sounds so anemic compared to Vince's Tele!

[@pabloperez4063]

lambert1702 ....right...but i heard him say that he prefers it. Vince tone is great for me

[@pschroeter1]

Soundboard guy, turn up the guitar and turn down the fiddle.

[@russelllittler8145]

I love Albert Lee's playing ability, but I never liked his too "clean" sound.

[@liecht]

They are too fast and should be arrested!
