Eric Clapton calls Grammy winner Albert Lee, his “favorite guitarist of all time”. So if you’re unfamiliar with Albert’s music, we can only suggest you take Eric’s word, as we have little doubt you’ll also be amazed.
Albert Lee has received many awards as a guitarist. In addition to a Grammy for “Best Country Instrumental” ( Foggy Mountain Breakdown ) , he’s won five consecutive Guitar Player magazine's awards as "Best Country Guitarist. Lee is known within the music industry for his speed of playing and his technical virtuosity and yet by the same token, one of the most melodic, playing slower passages approximating the sound of the pedal steel guitar with his Music Man and Telecaster guitars which are equipped with B-Benders.
He is known as "the guitar player's guitar player". Lee is also referred to as "Mr. Telecaster". A long-time Telecaster player, Lee wrote a foreword to A.R. Duchossoir's book detailing the history of the instrument.
Albert Lee's song "Country Boy" helped to redefine country guitar for a whole generation of players, and was later to become a huge hit for multi-instrumentalist Ricky Skaggs.
