Albert Lee - “Sweet Little Lisa” [Telecaster Group]

 

ALBERT LEE “Sweet Little Lisa”

"For those younger players who think Mr. Albert Lee only plays Music Man guitars, here’s proof that he doesn’t!

This clip comes from his instructional video « Virtuoso Techniques », the third volume in the series, where he breaks down his playing style, including his famous “Country Boy.”

Here he’s playing “Sweet Little Lisa”, the song for which he recorded the guitar parts on Dave Edmunds’ album (I’ve already posted that video in this group, so I highly recommend digging it up). He’s demonstrating the B-Bender system on his three-pickup Telecaster.

The solo goes over just three chords, and you get the feeling Albert could keep improvising like this for hours. Double-stops, bends, triplets… it’s all there.

I’ll post the instructional package this clip comes from in the first comment. I owned a copy many years ago, and it really helped me work seriously on hybrid picking, especially all those banjo rolls. He covers a ton of examples. It came with a book, an audio CD, and even a VHS tape !" Telecaster Group
