I don't believe Alvin was even listed in Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists or was rated too low. Goes to show what a joke those polls are. Guys like Alvin, Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie Montrose, Leslie West should be top 10.
Just heard the song ...tell you brother ...you gonna always be in my heart ... some day on way to the dark side of the moon ... Ill be looking you up brother ... be also looking for Syd Barret, Richard Wright, Bonzo, Jimmy Hendrix, John Lennon, George Harrison, Freddie Mercury, Tupac.
Alvin Lee was my hero from my teenage years and still is. This video however was shot by what I consider, as a videographer and guitar player myself, to be an amateur's job. Extreme close-ups on the guitar playing are horrible. I would really like to see BOTH hands when he's playing. Both director and camera person are responsible. Their work is a "D+" at best. Alvin, of course, "A+".
According to Rolling Stone magazine there are 100 better guitar players than Alvin Lee. Cranial extraction, Stat. No one was faster or cleaner. Never any fret screech here. I have Alvin in my holy trinity with Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page. Rolling Stone... stopped reading that rag because of head up their butt articles like that long ago.
Absolutely adored this man and his guitar, he is one of the greatest ever!!
RIP Alvin Lee your music will always be a part of me.
Alvin "the guitarist more fast of west"!!! So said in '60... R.I.P. great master!
RIP Alvin Lee... indescribable playing! Also much respect to the Organist...
He was my friend. Dear, sweet man. One of the best.
This is simply stunning guitar playing...not from this world...
Wouldve loved to have been a fly on the wall at this performance....Alvin Lee simply rockin' the Blues!
Happy Birthday Alvin. We miss you.
