He's a killer guitarist he can play so fast and clean , one of the best ever.
I totally agree
//Andy
Such a cool down to earth guy as well. Very humble demeanor about him.
i remember him when i was a kid as he was my dads best mate at school and was best man at my dads wedding .remember seeing him at a club where my dads band were playing and 2 days later saw albert on tv and thought wow
Love Albert Lee and his old school approach of just a guitar and an amp
Yep, Albert is a total legend & such a nice fella !!
What can you say about Albert Lee that hasn't already been said? An amazing musician and human being. Long may you continue to amaze us, Albert!
An absolute Gentleman and LEGEND!
I admire your understated style and incredible talent. You have evolved and survived over the years from early life in England to Germany and USA. We share a lot in common. I salute you!
May you never ever break a string Albert. And thanks for the joy you share with us with your playing. Like no other.......
I had the good fortune of meeting Albert Lee and playing a few songs with him on stage at a benefit in Burbank California in the mid 2000s. He's a great player and a really nice guy. I recently bought one of the Albert Lee HH models myself. I love the light weight comfortable body, the body contours, the feel of the neck and fret board.
Their is no doubt that Albert Lee is an incredible guitarist!!!!
Albert Lee is just the best. What a player.
Saw Albert last year, he was amazing. One of the true greats
This guy plays the most tasteful lines, but he does them at speeds I can't even fathom. What a legend! I went to see him last year and was happy just to have seen him but I wasn't expecting him to be so slick and still just as fast. He can still sing just as sweetly too. Would really recommend checking him out, he usually plays in the UK a few times a year
Great player, lovely bloke, legend.
Right up there with the best. Rock on, Albert!
Has there ever been a more humble, talented musician? Ever? I’m a huge Steve Howe, Jeff Beck, Tommy Emmanuel, etc. fan, but Mr. Lee is by far my favorite!
A true gentleman , and a great guitar player !
Been lucky enough to see Albert with Heads,Hands and Feet, The Everly Brothers, Hogan's Heroes and to have shaken his hand in a bookshop where I was working. Never disappointing. Really great player, really nice guy
Lovely!
He is the best country rock guitarist ever.
A Gentleman.Amazing player;He's like the EVH of Country music.But a great Jazzer too.L-E-G-E-N-D!
A great player lee
I absolutely Love how he says 'Hogan's Heroes" played in Germany.
Not sure many people got that back then ehehe SMH
One of my favorite guitarists for sure. I always liked him, then found out that he wrote and played "I Am Just a Country Boy" with Ricky Skaggs...I was very impressed to say the least.
Got all the Head Hand's and Feet Old soldiers never die is incredible
great guitarist- came unexpectedly, out of the blue,
to our small local theatre think it was a cancellation somewhere, with Hogan's Heroes, supporting his daughter's band, unbelievably going round telling people nobody seems to have heard of him - theatre practically empty but he put on a great show - what a pleasure to see him live, couldn't believe my luck. Had seen him some years before with the Everly Brothers in Hereford.
Great guitarist.
Albert....keep on keeping on!
The master!!! The living legend🙏
I wish this color of Silhouette Special was available to the general public. I need it! (Looked it up, Premiere Dealer Network limited edition model, hard to find)
What a nice guy!
The nicest guy ever!!!!
Class act top shelf player👍
"I was playing with a really good country rock band" no shit Albert...
I've heard you're the best guitar player ever. Van Halen, and many others mention you! Floyd Watson, one of the greatest ever, talks about you often.
Hey Albert!
I rather like the Silhouette but Albert's signature model is too bizarre looking for me. He is a phenomenal guitarist who has influenced countless country pickers. Cool guy, very unassuming.....I like that.
Cool cat!
hey albert, see you at viva with carmine
Music Man guitars work well for Albert. HIs playing style and their tone is a perfect marriage which is unusual for the capitalist world of suckering in buyers to sound like their mentors. I personally do not care for them and thought Leo Fender went steadily downhill after selling out to CBS. The world is always changing...
Why the he'll did he play for others and not do something on his own. A very very simple man. His music with Hogan heroes is very lively
Money
@@HollowRick Stupid. It's because everyone wanted him to play and record with them. Anyway, if you really know anything about Albert you would know that he does write and perform his own stuff.
You know?
