Excerpt from Albert Lee’s solo on “Luxury Liner”
Albert Lee excerpt fast Albert Lee excerpt slow
This is a classic lick from one of the monsters of country pickin’ guitar, Albert Lee. I specifically chose it because of the jazz/bebop phrase Lee uses to get from the B7 chord to the E7 chord. I like how he mixes up
country/blues and jazz influences. In bar 4 he uses chromatic surrounding notes to get to the root note of the
next chord (E7) and then outlines an E major triad. He uses chromatic passing notes again in bar 7 before outlining a C#minor triad.
If you haven’t heard Emmy Lou Harris’ version of “Luxury Liner” you are missing out on a classic country track
and one of Albert Lee’s most perfect solos ever recorded. It truly is a masterpiece.
