Albert Lee-Instructional Guitar DVD

I saw the majority of these videos on YouTube. Albert at one point says "look at your Star Licks manual for the tabs". I then searched the internet trying to find the "star licks manual" with no success. Later when I saw this, I just knew it was the same video (and it is). The Tabs are included, but documented in Albert's own special tab format. Pulling useful information from these is proving to be extremely challenging, but ultimately do-able.

It's good to see some of AL's style up close, but they could do with slowing some of the licks down some more as his 'slow' is often little different to his 'normal' speed. Easily solved by ripping the soundtrack and time stretching it in software, but it would be better if the DVD came with a slow motion option, like some of the reissued Hot Licks VHS recordings. The transcriptions need updating too several of them are incorrect and it's a pain having to slow the recordings down, catch what's going on and correct the dots for future reference. I'm quite happy with the standard musical notation, but I suspect that some people would welcome tabs in the booklet too. Nonetheless, provided you are prepared to put in a bit of work, as above, it's a useful resource to have.

More of a Demo not a real instruction video

I found this dvd fun to watch and informative if you are a fan of Trevors.But i thought this was an actual lesson based instructional dvd which it is not.Its an interview and thats about it, even the equipment talked about is out of date by todays standards.This dvd is a one time watcher not a revisited teaching dvd.

I just got the DVD, but it is barely different than my VHS copy. In fact, it looks like it was made from a production copy (like the one we've all purchased) and not the master. Very high contrast, tons of video noise, 'clay face' artifacts and piss poor soft image. Audio sounds as good as it did before. Sheesh. Oh well, at least I didn't have to digitize it. This video has been around since 1983. Albert is fascinating. The tab is confusing for some of the licks, which are in a non-standard tab format. Get your right hand ready, and prepare to get frustrated! 2 stars DVD, 5 stars Albert, 3 1/2 stars instructional.

When I was about 15, I bought this lesson on a "Star Licks" cassette & booklet. I marveled at how well Albert Lee could play, and it was too advanced for me at the time. Decades later, I sought out this DVD to see if my playing had improved to the point where I could play these licks, and it has! I'm having a great time learning them! These licks are classic and still sound great today!

This is mostly Albert showing off his instruments and a few of his speedy licks. There is nothing beyond that to learn from: no over-all theory or approach, not tips for practising or discovering phrasing ideas of your own, in short, kind of crummy as a lesson. If you want to learn in depth, this is not the label to choose: go to Homespun and get properly set-out lessons that will really help you understand what you are being shown and how to make it you own. That said, Albert sure has some cool tools and some hot licks.

Had it on VHS, nice to be able to upgrade.

アルバート・リーが得意とするフレーズをいくつか解説している教則DVDです。しかし譜面はありますがタブ譜ではありません。その譜面も手書きのような雑い感じで、商売気の薄さが気になります。VHSで発売されていたものをDVD化したもので、画質もあまりよくありませんが、内容は貴重です。鑑賞用でも価値があります。

country boyなどの主要なリック２０個の実演解説です。楽譜（タブ譜でない）付き。チキン・ピッキングやディレイ奏法など。かっこよすぎです。
