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.
