OK ???

You are 100% right on the money dovac6490. I had the pleasure of meeting Albert Lee on 2 separate occasions. The 1st time was a quick hand shake n we talked for maybe 10 minutes. Then 3 or 4 years later I was at the NAMM convention in Anaheim, California and I was lucky enough to hang out with him & talk for close to an hour & he remembered me (WTF? really). I thanked him for the starlicks video that he made that I learned so much from years ago. Then I said Albert the video starts & there you are with your leg goin up n down and you are chicken pickin your ass off (True story) he laughed out loud and said thanks. I went on to say that after the intro, when you started talking I literally fell out of my chair & my guitar & I were now on the floor. I did this impersonation of him with one eye straight & the other crossed eyed and said with an English accent "Hello I'm Albert Lee" praying to god I didn't offend him but he laughed so hard I'll never forget it. I said to him "You are hands down the best chickin pickin country guitarist I've ever heard so of course I was expecting a heavy country accent & I had no idea you were from England. He said Yes, I know I used to hear that a lot back then. We talked for almost an hour after that & you said it he was the most humble real deal professional you will ever meet & a very cool guy with a great sense of humor. Sorry for the long reply but I had to share this

I think they just don't really know how to explain what they do, as they spent years trying to get it into the sub-conscious where they don't need to think but it just comes out almost on its own.

My Buddy played rhythm guitar way way back in 59 with Albert. He died about 5 years ago and they played let it be me at his funeral .A nice touch.

John How interesting - what's your buddy's name? I'm a couple of years younger than Albert but from the same part of London where he was at the time so I might just know your buddy.

Because It IS so easy And natural for him, that he can,t explain It....for him It IS: "just grab ThE Axe And play"

For what it’s worth, these types of things he’s playing are just flat-out not gonna be possible to PLAY for beginners or even really intermediate players. And by PLAY, I mean understand what you’re playing, not just copying note for note. This video is unbelievably useful for understanding albert’s thought processes, and how he chooses what to play. Specifically the section with the host playing a single G chord at a slow tempo-you can analyze how Albert chooses where to go next, analyze how he makes his runs up and down the fretboard, stuff like that. It’s pretty interesting stuff, but providing this stuff as beginner or intermediate material is just not really accurate. These guys play, they don’t teach. And they come from a different era where they didn’t have anything like these videos, they’ve got little to no clue how to explain a lot of the stuff they’re doing.

Because it doesn’t have a lot of key changes and tempo switches, people are quick to call something rudimentary. But they fail to take into account nuance and feeling, and the skill it takes to play those phrases.

Yeah what a moron he is.

I think he meant rudimentary in a technical way, as in the chord changes and technique, but he did mention the blazing speed and efficiency of alberts playing. Why get so offended?

Dude, The guy was not being disrespectful. A piano player can play that chord idea very easily, it is a rudimentary technique. Albert is a guitar god, obviously. The guitar is a complicated instrument because of the picking, some ideas are harder to apply on the guitar than on other instruments.

Jam and cheese

Playing is so easy for him, that he just says : "I just let myself go away"

Even worse

Funny, and a great player for Albert.

My first thought! 😝🤣😝

Steven Seagal

No, no it's not Seagal

Sterling Ball on bass. He designed the Music Man guitar Albert is playing

They all learned it from James Burton

Looks like a Martin 000 18, although it has non-standard diamond-shaped position markers rather than the usual circular dots. Certainly mahogany body with a spruce top.

I disagree. The interviewer was more or less forced into drawing useful information from Albert, whose didactic skills are - how shall I put it - slightly less spectacular than his picking prowess. This is often the case with exceptional musicians who needed no more than raw talent to get where they got. There are of course exceptions to the rule: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rqqbFmgOFHs.html but then, Danny was and always will be the greatest guitarist of all time.

I think he looks very cool

Torben Christensen go check is latest interview for Anderson’s guitar center... in the end of the video, he sing and play piano.. mindblowing

He sings wonderfully!!!!!!

Don't agree..love his singing.
