Was lucky enough to meet Albert backstage at a gig a few years back, such a nice down-to-earth guy. Happy to chat for ages. Such a talented player too.

I saw Mr Lee Friday 1/7/22. Small club. 87 other patrons. Marvelous!!!!! He sings and plays like he's still 30

Albert is such a gift!

[@bokat55]

Such an amazing and wonderful player. I have always enjoyed his guitar work no matter what style he was performing!

[@KRayxKodessA]

Got to run a clinic with Albert back in the day. Absolute gentleman, even through all kinds of technical mishaps. Sold loads of these guitars in my time working in the music store.

In 1980 or 81 at 15 or 16 years old, I remember hearing the 2nd solo in the live version of Cocaine and thinking, “that’s not Eric Clapton.” Sure enough, it was Albert Lee. I’ve been a fan of his playing ever since. Fantastic guitarist.

[@alexandernagy681]

That’s an awesome memory! Thanks for sharing!

[@ScottGailor]

One of the nicest pros I have ever met. Such a huge influence on so many players.

Albert Lee is the best!!!

[@richieranno5905]

The BEST! Albert is amazing. We got to hang out together in NY at his Iridium show. I have 2 Albert Lee guitars - one with 3 P0s and one with 2 humbuckers. Best guitars made hands down !!!

[@michaelsevick1900]

I've seen him live a few times over the years. 1st with Clapton and last solo a year or so ago. Each time he blue me away, and I'm pretty good.

[@hijackmke]

Glad these are coming back!!!

[@stevenratcliff8956]

Most people have no idea how influential this man really was. Seems like a genuinely humble dude too.

[@ol.grumpy.bastard]

I've been using Ernie Ball strings for 45+ years but *still* can't sound as good as Albert. Time to practice some more, I guess...
