I noticed that too. The video is from 09 and has less than 220 YouTube hits so maybe it's a one off.

i cant watch the video...

after that first lick i'm not worthy to hold a guitar... oh my goodness...

I still would like to know what was in the water in the UK back then to produce Clapton, Beck, Page, Lee and Blackmore. The funny thing is a lot of guys think Albert is American because he is a country player and think I am pulling there leg when I tell them he is part of that magic set of players.

You'd think I'd be prepared by now, but I'm blown away every time I see the man play. Absolutely amazing!

Gonna go ice my bruised jaw now ....

Colin and I asked Albert about that exact guitar when he came here last, he said its not a BFR, just a regular AL in pinkburst.

Although he did tell me it has the toneblock

... another thing about Albert is that he is a great guy to talk to - polite, has always got time for you. I feel privileged to have meet him at breakfast purely by accident, at a sound check, at the knucklehead bash and at a guitar clinic. Man I wish there were more like him.
I can see how BP & Albert are so close what with the story about Albert sleeping on his sofa ha!
