Back in the mid-90s I saw Albert Lee at the Agoura Valley Inn in Agoura, CA. There were probably 40 people in the audience and I sat 10 feet from Albert for the whole show. Mind. Blown. Love that guy. Great video, thanks.
Love Albert Lee! First saw him playing in Emmylou Harris' Hot Band in the late 70's, damn, so fast. I think another feather in his cap is the great Dave Edmunds' praise for his lead guitar work on "Sweet Little Lisa," which is included in the great Rockpile documentary, "Born Fighters."
@TheBham54. You may already know this. In the sleeve notes of one of Albert's more recent CD's, Emmylou Harris writes (something like) "When I get to the Pearly Gates and St. Peter asks me what I did on Earth, I will say with pride - if that's allowed - that I played rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee". Kind of says it all really! Stay safe and well.
Shared delight is a wonderful thing! Your obvious joy in this gem of a man's picking adds to the pleasure I get from Albert, and your commentary is great and to the point! Thanks!
i was just watching a documentary of Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe in the Studio recording the original version of this song with Albert Lee back in the 70s. Dave, who's no slouch on the guitar himself, called in Albert just to fanboy out over his playing and give the song an extra touch of class...his bottom lip was quivering, don't know if Dave was going to laugh or cry during those solos. Then this showed up in my feed. Cool, I did not know Albert was also a great singer..I'm gonna look up more of his music..hes really cool.
Your channel helps me a ton. Your passion inspires mine and this type of analysis helps me better grasp certain concepts. I always try to have my guitar in hand now when I watch your vids because I know I'll pick something up for the tool box.
Albert Lee came to play in Orkney a few years back... chatted afterwards as he signed a few things what lovely unassuming guy, unbelievable talent too.
Dave Edmunds "Repeat when Necessary" is where you can find original "Sweet Little Lisa". I heard that Edmunds thought that Lee was always being buried in the mix so he asked Albert to play on this tune. When afterwards A Lee heard the song he was surprised how up he was mixed in the final mix.
@ari1234a. Search UA-cam and try to find a video called "Born Fighter" where Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe are filmed in the studio working on solo and band (Rockpile) projects. Watch Dave Edmund's reaction to Albert Lee's solo on "Sweet Little Lisa". Edmund's (no slouch on the 6 string himself)) jaw hits the floor! After the take, Albert comes into the studio control room - modest to a fault, with this kind of "Hope that was OK" air about him. Albert opens a beer and sits down to lIsten to the playback of his solo. There will never be another Albert Lee. Stay safe and well.
@Pete32266 annells. You are welcome sir! You may already be aware of the "other" lead guitarist in the lineup of Rockpile - Billy Bremner. Another great player who is vastly overlooked. Stay safe and well.
@@markmiwurdz202 Indeed yes; happy days watching the Rockpile roundabout on TV...are they Dave Edmunds backing band or Nick Lowe's or...and they'd turn up behind other musicains too on 'TOTP'. Terry Williams was formerly in 'Man'. The album 'Christmas at the Patti' [ Patti Pavillion, Swansea] 1972 Has 'Man' and associated bands plus Dave Edmunds. Terry went on to Dire Straits etc. Fun times.
Michael - As an "Old Fart" I've always loved Albert. This is one of the best explanations I've ever seen you give .... as a non musician (but music lover) I didn't understand (musically) what you said - BUT - knew exactly what you meant ..... just sayin'
Micheal it’s a long shot but I recently suffered a partial amputation to my pointer finger on my fretting hand I don’t know how my finger will heal and if I’ll ever be able to play as good as I could again do you have any advice for me :/
I have a question... I've been watching a lot of Johnny Hiland lately and I know people say that he's very good... do you think he's as good as Albert Lee? Or in the same league? I have literally never heard of Albert Lee until 2 minutes ago.
I've watched this video several times and like your assesment of what he's doing, but one of the reasons his licks sound like they do is because he has a b bender in that Tele he's playing.
Hey MIchael! if you haven't seen Marcus King play 'Stubborn Pride' live with the Zac Brown Band, you are missing out on one of the BEST solos I've ever seen! Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/Z78TsLLsckI/v-deo.html
Writing weird stuff now. To me it fits all the crazy, funky etc. electric guitar stuff. Haha Michael Palmisano Turn around The word of sound And mingles it With a bit of air Going into the third of fifth With a lack of meaning theresehl.erasmus@gmail.com
Eric Clapton is the most overrated guitarist of all time. I can, and will, say that, as a person who has listened to and studied every one of the guitar players who are regarded as all-time greats. My study and listening of Clapton, which I did twice, revealed a nasty little revelation. He does not belong on those lists. He is really great at being a good guitar player, but he is nowhere near the level of greats, of guys like Albert Lee. Lee was in Clapton's band for a good while, during what you could consider his second best era of output and touring. He seemed to know Lee was a better player and basically made Lee his Bob Weir. Meaning, Lee was relegated to almost only always playing Rhythm. Why, you ask? Because Albert would have outshined Eric, easily and Clapton definitely knew that. Eric's playing is clean and good, but he has a generic sound and style and is basically JJ Cale without the ability to innovate. Clapton is a JJ Cale nuthugger who somehow became more popular and well-known despite not even being better by any measurable amount.
There's a great clip on UA-cam from the Rockpile documentary Born Fighters where Lee comes in to do the solo for Sweet Little Lisa on Dave Edmunds record and just blows the minds of Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Huey Lewis, Phil Lynott and everyone else in the room. Definitely worth checking out.
I was thinking of the same film while this guy was pulling his faces. It is impossible to pay attention and not pull a "did you see what he just did?" face.
Had other things to do, saw the title "Albert Lee" pop up and finishing up what I'm on, cleared the next half hour or so to watch this. Lads a legend. Can't half play. Love his stuff. If I could play half as fast as him I'd be twice as quick as I am.
Thank you so much for your breakdowns Michael. I'm gradually understanding music theory much better but what I love most in your videos is your pure joy and admiration when you encounter something masterful (as at about 9 min mark on this one)..
I met Albert many years ago when I was a music student in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England, when he was playing at the Eddie Cochran festival. He was such a lovely guy and happy to take as much time as we wanted to show us anything
Finally someone gets near the group Rockpile! Albert was hired by Dave Edmunds on the track Sweet little Lisa on his and Rockpiles album "Repeat when necessary" A hilarious clip is avaliable on that very moment! You also see a lot of celebreties in the studio! ua-cam.com/video/h1Rx-zaBjow/v-deo.html
Clean with slap echo. Little reverb. Michael dump the grit and go super clean. If ya don’t you will sound like a rock player. It’s the staccato and pluck.
Oh hell yeah, Albert Lee! One of my all time favorites. Hugely underrated. He's the absolute king of double stops. He's also using a B-bender in the middle of all of that.
@@markmiwurdz202 yeah good description. I missed a guitar clinic from him as a kid bc I didn’t know I would have liked it. I heard country but I didn’t know what that meant. I only new country on the radio.
Saw Albert years ago at a local working Man's club here in the U.K , he was playing with a band called Hogan's Heroes and it was one of the best shows I have ever witnessed . For someone of his stature to play a place with only a 500 capacity shows he's just happy playing anywhere / anytime , class act and you should check out his tutorial video which is not for mere mortals . Could even be uploaded on UA-cam ?
Dang dude, your breakdowns are amazing. I'm sure you're drowned with requests, but I would love your breakdown of a classical guitar. It would be interesting to see your thoughts on that genre. One piece I love would be Debussy's Arabesque no 1 on the guitar.
Not sure what the chances are of coming across this tune for the first time about three hours ago and then Michael showing up with it here? Some big number for sure! 😊 Thank you, Michael, as usual.
how does the b bender fit in this mash up////i have enjoyed owning a custom built b bender....albert is using a b bender truout this performance....slick..clean..fast
You NEED to check out a video from Burls Art!! A little change of pace from the usual reaction but his videos are so satisfying and cool, plus he plays at the end and is really good!
This is early Albert. Watched him for years in England and knew then he would be a star.......Not bad pickin' for a country boy from England......Always see him on Crossroads with Clapton and Vince Gill......
Not true, if you listen to just one night, Albert solos on a few songs including further on up the road and the dire straits song where he does vocals as well
Michael, now you've finally found Albert Lee, you've got to do Country Boy. There are numerous versions of it, try the one with Steve Trovato. One of the UKs greatest guitarists. Enjoy.
There’s a video somewhere on UA-cam of Dave Edmunds covering Albert Lea and he had Albert sitting with him. One of the greatest parts that video is the image of Dave Edmunds, who is hell of a guitar player in his own right sort of shaking his head, apparently wondering why he even bothers to pick his guitar up. Albert is an absolute monster.
Hi Michael. I've been watching your videos for a while. I don't subscribe much, nor do I interact much online, but I just subscribed. I was rewatching the Marcus King Billy Strings Center Village Guitars from 2019 and saw your reaction video you did in 2020. Not that long ago, but it feels like forever. And it occurred to me in watching you from back then that it seems like you've come a long way. Not so much in your instructionary method, but more in content creation. You seem more comfortable, production quality is better, overall just better at what you've been doing all along to which to me, is providing accessable, reasonable, ideas about how to approach the infinitely complex simplicity that is playing a guitar. Not only that, which is extremely helpful and getting more difficult to find, but your input beyond just keeping that thing in your hand and doing a little bit every day, about how to be a better musician/bandmate, is so relatable. Not only are you an amazing talent, but a once-in-a-lifetime teacher/inspirer/entertainer. So thank you for that. Anyway, I don't know if you'll see this, but I thought it might be a cool idea for you to do a reaction to one of your early reactions. Yes, a video of you reacting not only to yourself, but a re-reaction to the same song. Much love, keep bringing the best content, all the best to you and yours, and cheers! - jrp
When I hear the song “Nashville Cats” I automatically think of Albert Lee, a Romani cat from Herefordshire England. If you’ve never seen the video of Lee doing a session with Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds in the late 70s/early 80s, run, don’t walk. It is hilarious and awesome.
Glad to hear you say "I can't flat pick it like that I gotta hybrid". I don't feel so bad now. "If Michael Palmisano can't do it how the hell do you expect me to!"

Just met the gentleman in Cottonwood AZ, he graciously signed my guitar as well!
Learning about songs I’ve never heard is slowly becoming my favorite part of your channel. Helping me get out of a listening rut.
Shared delight is a wonderful thing! Your obvious joy in this gem of a man's picking adds to the pleasure I get from Albert, and your commentary is great and to the point! Thanks!
I love Albert Lee whenever I hear him, so it's a shame I've never gone out of my way to check out his music.
I have the same reaction. Whenever I hear him, I think, I love this, why don't I listen to him more?
his work colaborating with dave edmunds is great if you want more rock type songs, his other stuff for a little more country sounding songs.
i was just watching a documentary of Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe in the Studio recording the original version of this song with Albert Lee back in the 70s. Dave, who's no slouch on the guitar himself, called in Albert just to fanboy out over his playing and give the song an extra touch of class...his bottom lip was quivering, don't know if Dave was going to laugh or cry during those solos. Then this showed up in my feed. Cool, I did not know Albert was also a great singer..I'm gonna look up more of his music..hes really cool.
First song I heard from him was country boy and it blew my mind
Country Boy is incredible. Two More Bottles of Wine is always a go-to on a Friday night.
Your channel helps me a ton. Your passion inspires mine and this type of analysis helps me better grasp certain concepts. I always try to have my guitar in hand now when I watch your vids because I know I'll pick something up for the tool box.

Watch the video of Albert putting down the solo on the Dave Edmunds version. Phil Lynott and chums watching on gobsmacked....
Ta.
This is Michael at his best. How he does this on the fly I will never know.
Thank you for your wonderful breakdowns! I am addicted
Beautifully using B bender!
Albert Lee is still a monster. Good Lord!
ALBERT IS FUNKY ... a piece of hot guitar work ... and, by the way I love your little hot licks on the entry to this video lesson ... COOL !!!
He plays a B Bender Tele,this is the sound.
nice lesson.

ps: most days get better .... except the ones you're puttin' up bricks ......
Michael, see if you can find a clip of his guitar work on Roseanne Cash "My Baby Thinks He's a Train"....it's amazing and impossible for mortal man!
Keep in mind that he's got a B-Bender that he uses on some of those licks.
Michael, you’re looking a lean mean shredding machine, great job!
That's Sterling Ball (son of Ernie Ball) on bass.
Albert Lee is a freak show. A very kind, friendly freak show from the planet Zarkon.
Dude you are a Genius >>> 6:30
B- Bender Michael...
Would like to hear your thoughts on Santana's Blues for Salvador .
I’m these videos, are you using an amp or some sort of modeling?
You should do some Greg Koch, Michael! Just saw him play last night in TX. He’s a wizard
Micheal it’s a long shot but I recently suffered a partial amputation to my pointer finger on my fretting hand I don’t know how my finger will heal and if I’ll ever be able to play as good as I could again do you have any advice for me :/
Looks like he may be using a b-bender??

I shook Albert’s hand a few years back, and told him he shouldn’t shake strangers hands…his are of gold and should be careful with them.
He told me once he still likes to tinker with cars .
That's a defo no ,from someone with hands of gold.
Play it clean with a quarter the reverb and I'll take you seriously.
Writing weird stuff now.
To me it fits all the crazy, funky etc. electric guitar stuff. Haha
Michael Palmisano
Turn around
The word of sound
And mingles it
With a bit of air
Going into the third of fifth

Same but for some reason I was thinking Albert King lol but now Lee is cool with me too

Very good point

Yep, "Born Fighters" is a great documentary about Dave & Nick Lowe and Rockpile. Dave really gushed about Albert's playing on Sweet Little Lisa.
‘I see you’ve read my pamphlet…”
A legend. Great voice too. And a nice guy, met him a few times now after shows.
Clean with slap echo. Little reverb. Michael dump the grit and go super clean. If ya don’t you will sound like a rock player. It’s the staccato and pluck.

@@markmiwurdz202 yeah good description. I missed a guitar clinic from him as a kid bc I didn’t know I would have liked it. I heard country but I didn’t know what that meant. I only new country on the radio.
Easily up there with Clapton, Page, SRV and Jeff Beck

That club wouldn't have been at Prudhoe by any chance. I've heard he shows up there and blows the roof off every time.
Naw mate it was at Pelaw near Heworth roundabout in South Tyneside .@@schoop
Hard to duplicate what he's doing without the b bender.

Albert Lee on the fly...you sir, are fearless.
Reminds me of my rodeo days when I lived in Ireland. Great nights.
…and he seems to be such a nice guy too.
Anyone else notice the B Bender?
He's a hard act to follow for sure! I wouldn't even try.
I will never forget when i had the oppertunity to sit and talk to Albert after a live performance he had. such an awesome person and guitarist.
how does the b bender fit in this mash up////i have enjoyed owning a custom built b bender....albert is using a b bender truout this performance....slick..clean..fast
I think he tricked you a couple times with the b bender!
What peddle or PRS should I buy to make my guitar sound like a duck 🦆 in heat ?🤪
Albert chicken picks quite a bit and uses a b bender
You NEED to check out a video from Burls Art!! A little change of pace from the usual reaction but his videos are so satisfying and cool, plus he plays at the end and is really good!
Many Nashville pickers use a B Bender… Brent Mason, Marty Stewart, Ricky Scaggs, Steve Wariner, Brad paisley uses a G bender
Albert Lee is playing a Dave Evans b-bender guitar. Love Alert!!!
i have met Albert many times and even out for dinner. Nicest guy ever❤
Albert is awesome, You’re ok too mate
I’ve always loved Albert Lee’s appliances 😂🤣
When that played together he play ten notes while Clapton played one
He was Brent Mason before there was a BM. Check his work on " My Baby Thinks He's A Train" by Roseanne Cash...
Another great british geetar player
Really impressed with how quickly you are picking out the parts man! Super cool mini lesson and fun seeing you enjoying the great soloing too.
Michael, that tele Albert is playing is b- bender
please react to the best female guitarist in the world Tina s, covers of dragon Force, for the love of God
saw marcin on the website. please do a video about him!!!🙏🙏🙏
oh, yeah, he is good, like it!
Absolute gold. Top stuff as always.
Arpeggios. Double stops, ghost plucks
He’s using a b bender telecaster
This is early Albert. Watched him for years in England and knew then he would be a star.......Not bad pickin' for a country boy from England......Always see him on Crossroads with Clapton and Vince Gill......
Albert played in Eric Clapton's band back in the day Clapton would never let him solo wonder why?? 🤣
Clapton is God
Lee is Jesus
Obviously you never heard Just One Night. Lol
clapton let him solo all the time, listen to "If i dont be there by morning," its all albert
I can appreciate them both. Clapton is good, whereas Albert is great. 105 IQ vs 140 IQ.
Not true, if you listen to just one night, Albert solos on a few songs including further on up the road and the dire straits song where he does vocals as well

Something in the Orange - Zach Bryan … it’s a real song man really down to earth painful lyrics you’ll love it
Nice choice Michael. I got in to Albert from his cover of highwayman with him on keys.
You sir are freakin’ good!! And so is Albert. Holy shit!
I admit to not knowing Albert Lee until I watched this. Now, I’m a fan!
Albert just rips, what a fun video!
Again another really good video! Thanks a lot
