Albert Lee - Tear It Up

This is a song performed by British guitarist Albert Lee, the clip is from 2007, and he plays the up beat song "Tear It Up". It's kind of a rock 'n' roll song, but with a lot of bluegrass roots influencing it. There's also a violin and a double bass. The back up band is the Australian "Wheelers and Dealers".
Albert is most known in the field of hybrid picking which means using the fingers and the guitar pick at the same time, to do runs that you would not otherwise be able to do. He was one of the first to use and develop this technique, and is regarded as one of the best at this technique.
He has been included with many different acts, in many different genres, including; Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eric Clapton, Earl Scruggs, Joe Cocker, Dolly Parton and even Spın̈al Tap, hell yeah!! A long list, and in many different genres, everything from country, blues, rock 'n' roll and bluegrass, truly a versatile player.
This is a great performance of a great song, and they sure do "tear it up".

Enjoy ; )
