- Hey everybody! Here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Albert Collins Licks From 1993. I've had a number of requests to feature the late-great blues guitar legend Albert Collins, and this lesson dives deep into his playing style while uncovering a number of his slick licks and phrases - so let's dive in!
Albert's legendary and unusual playing style involved tuning to an open F minor chord, and then he'd commonly slap a capo somewhere between the 7th-11th frets (depending on what key he was playing in). This episode mentions his unusual approach, but everything we're playing/targeting here is played in "regular" standard tuning and without the capo. We are keeping the fingerstyle picking approach that Albert preferred using, so you won't need a pick during this lesson.
The ideas shared here were revealed in Albert's classic REH instructional video from March of 1993, which was the same year that he passed away (in November 1993). So, it's an interesting look at near the end of his life and career, and he shares a lot in that revealing and informative/inspiring video.
The ideas shared in this episode include an in-depth primer focusing on getting a grip using Albert's signature and distinct vibrato style, not to mention plenty of slick licks and phrases - including a standard blues phrase with various variations added to the mix, a stinging melodic blues phrase, a funky b5 idea, a funky scat-singing lick, and much more!
Needless to say, if you're an Albert Collins fan, a blues guitar fan, or maybe a player looking for some behind-the-scenes details surrounding an absolute legend of blues guitar music - this episode is totally for you!

I am 57 years old...the very first concert I ever went to was Albert Collins playing at the Huntington High School auditorium on Long Island, NY....I was in 8th grade....I was just starting to learn guitar....a friend bought me a ticket for my Birthday....Albert and his band were absolutely killer...this was before wireless gear....Albert had a guitar cord that must have been about a hundred feet long...maybe longer.....he got off stage and was walking down the aisle wailing while the band kept playing....at one point he cuts into the row of seats in front of me and my friends....sits down and starts playing intense hammer - on stuff....leans back to us and says " how y'all doing?..." and reaches out to shake all of our hands...all while playing amazingly.... I think he noticed we were the youngest people in the crowd...it was the most mind blowing display of musicianship and showmanship I have witnessed...I was changed that day....I still play guitar...thank you Dave! I have not thought about that in a while....
Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues!!
so glad you specifically mentioned the showdown album
his mastery of the pentatonic box and his ability to talk and literally have a conversation with his guitar was blistering and i dont think he'll ever have a parallel in raw and aggressive blues guitar
Glad i found this channel. Found you in a Rik Emmett search.
YES!! Sensei Dave, you are the MAN!
Thanks.!! I needed that.!✌🏼
Very helpful lesson, you really nailed the signature Collins sound.
He was my favorite blues player him and Albert King.
Great Lesson!!!!!!!!!!!
The lesson was posted 6 minutes ago, and your comment is 5 minutes old. I'm curious. How have you watched all of it already?
@@castleanthrax1833 Because as I was watching the lesson I commented on it. Anything he makes is always a great lesson anyways. So does that cure your curiosity?
Excellent lesson and description, thanks very much 👍
Thank you soooooo much Sir David Brew!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
When I was 19, I was lucky to catch Johnny Winter and Albert Collins play an amazing show. I can't remember who opened for who, but Albert shredded so hard, I was in disbelief. I was just a kid and had this idea that telecasters couldn't play with the ferocity of a stratocaster... again, I knew nothing, but that show was so inspiring and I'll never forget what a wizard he was.
Great stuff, Dime that reverb
The speed that Albert Collins can do his riffs is amazing with just his fingers.
You're an amzing instructor, David. Thanks so much for sharing. Albert Collins has always blown my mind and soul, and he still does. Thanks again!
Great record ..... Showdown....with Robert Cray and Johnny Copeland
Nice lesson.....the master of the telecaster.... I remember that record had a sticker on it that said or likened the playing to Duane Allman and Eric Clapton on the Layla record ....got to check the record in my collection to see if the sticker is still on it......
Yep....found the record in my collection....has the sticker on it.....
Always informative David👍 thanks for posting this one for us all 😎
Love to see a video over Marc Diglio from XYZ. Insanely underrated guitar player and musician. Heavy rock riffs with swing and groove combined with killer solos. Fantastic band
Finally I've been asking thank you thank you
спасибо, Техас
Great 👌
Thanks again Dave . I have learnt a lot from your vids . Love the details you home in on .
What an awesome style! Thank heavens he did that REH Instructional Video, before his passing! I also appreciate the fact that this fantastic Late Night Lesson is in Standard Tuning. Thanks for all you do, David!
Woooow, great timing. I’ve been on an Albert Collins kick! I even just bought a MIJ telecaster!!!! However, I will mention the tele was inspired by your (David Brewster…) new tele. I thought it was yellow. I didn’t know about the filter, and thought it was rad. I love my bright yellow one. Rock on, and thanks for all the great vids.
Thank You
Great lesson...how about a lesson in the barney miller theme?
this channel is such a gold mine. good work!
He's my favourite blues man his old shows on you tube a great sits down in the crowd and plays with his 100foot guitar lead lol cheers for featuring him
Of the telecaster!
Saw him open for Allman Brothers in early 90's and he walked up to the top of the ampetheater! He was the master o
If we're doing requests...you've absolutely GOT to do one on the bluesmaster Chris Cain! Incredible taste, great tone, brilliant improvisation, impeccable time and feel...he's the total package and the "real deal." For my money, he's the absolute best on the contemporary blues scene...
Thanks for this, id never heard of him before, saw your comment and went searching. Ive been listening and playing blues music for 20 years. How had i never heard or seen chris cain! 😮
@@burnsyblues I dunno! I first heard about him in '97 or '98 (whenever "Live at The Rep" came out) and he set my whole understanding of blues guitar on its head!
Love Albert Collins. Thanks for the great lesson on the Master of The Telecaster!
Bluesman legend ! Your yellow Tele is very spanky sounding😂 I know it's not yellow good stuff Dave 👍👏🤘
Very nice. Don't forget to point out when he decides to play something on a bigger (lower) string, it gives lower overtones, making the phrase thicker, creamier, darker - as opposed to the choice on a thinner, higher string which is brighter and thinner.
Awesome! Love his style so much. Have you covered Otis Rush? I have been into him a lot as of late.
Way cool!

Mixolydian flavors/patterns tend to go nicely with these 7 chords. I've been going nuts with that Dominant Pentatonic Scale you showed us awhile back (with Minor Pentatonic from the same root, as variation). Thanks, again, David, for presenting us the Dominant Pentatonic Scale!
Thx U‼️👍👍👍
Mr. Dave Brewster THANK you VERY much for sharing YOUR ⇒ strong PASSION ⇐ w⁄ us! Keep'm com'n √√
Cusin of Lightin Hopkins Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues
Nice tele
Remember, He ain't Drunk, He's Just Drinkin'
Hi Dave , where are you come from?
THE ICEMAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No capo?
Albert Collins plays similar to Steven Seagal
Not to distract from the lesson here, but Albert going out into the crowd with his 100 ft cord here, he should've got an Emmy! th-cam.com/video/552PLnE61TM/w-d-xo.html
You talk too much.
your a tit ,,n no mistake
One of the coldest Guitarist in history and definitely one of the greatest. He is related to Sam Lightning Hopkins another Blues Legendary top guitarist.
Both come out of my great State Of Texas. Go watch when Albert and Buddy Guy had a friendly guitar duel, The Ice man Froze Buddy that night 😂 I love Buddy Guy as well he is in my top 3 blues guitarist.
Boring 😴
you certainly are
