Albert Lee Shreds.



My old man knows a thing or two about the guitar. He's played one live since about 1964. He's lost partial hearing watching the likes of Hendrix, Page, Beck, Albert King, Walsh, and McLaughlin up close and personal. He's currently spending a solid portion of his retirement down time learning the incredibly difficult finger picking techniques of Bert Jansch, Richard Thompson, Pentangle, and Fairport Convention.

Needless to say, old dude is a fount of information regarding mythic guitar wizards.

Tonight, while sipping a beer at his house, he played me some amazing stuff from Albert Lee. I'm hooked.
