Steve Haynie Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 If any of you get to see Albert Lee do a guitar clinic you will see a great show and meet an incredibly nice guy.
tomteriffic Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Played the treads clean off of that LP when it came out. Useless factoid: Albert looked high and low for a cutaway electric classical to do the original LP version back then. Such an animal just about didn't exist back then. He wound up using Jerry Reed's carved-up classical that had a piezo pickup in it.
FrettyMcgee Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Dang. Albert getting it done even before I was born.Probably nailed Emmylou Harris on top of everything else.
Biz Prof Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Dang. I liked his guitar tone a lot more in its 1971 iteration.
Brooks Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 i saw albert w/ earl scruggs at merlefest awhile back, it was killer.
Brentrocks Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 If any of you get to see Albert Lee do a guitar clinic you will see a great show and meet an incredibly nice guy. I am so glad I did!! what a great guy too!!To say he is a great player is a HUGE understatement
HamerDave Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Holy twangalicious Batman. That's flat out amazing.
currypowder Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I love this Star Licks video intro. I can just imagine someone buying it, throwing it in their VCR, seeing this intro, pulling it back out and giving up.
Steve Haynie Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Here is a video from earlier this week, September 21, 2015. It might be a bland TV interview for those of us who have been familiar with Albert Lee for years.
mc2 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I used to play that track on FM radio back in the 70s, along with the band's later track "Just Another Ambush."It always amazed me that a British band could chicken pick a country tune so well that you's think they were Nashville session players.I saw Albert Lee doing a NAMM show as a trio, with Steve Morse and Eddie Van Halen....and IMO, he was the standout.
tomteriffic Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 He's been at this so long that it might be fair to say that he created the genre of the red-hot teleblaster chicken-pickers. Sure, there were others before him, but he perfected it and spawned a whole generation of them.
