Anytime my blues guitar playing starts feeling lifeless or I feel I’m overplaying I go back and listen to Albert Collins for a few days.

Yeah, absolutely. I guess overplaying is a major trap you find yourself falling into more often than you (should) like once you've reached a certain level of dexterity on the fretboard... Going back and listening to the masters like Albert Collins will teach any sensible blues guitarist that the number of notes you play is definitely NOT what it's all about.

Great player, and innovator. What he got out of a few notes in one position is incredible. One of the few blues guys of that era who could actually follow the changes and knew where he was.

I discovered Albert through my brother in the late 1980s when I was first starting to get into blues music. 'Cold Snap' is his best album. I saw him in Jacksonville Florida in the mid 1990's. During one song, he walked all the way back to the lobby area, followed by a small crowd, including me, clapping in time, and he was shaking people's hands with one hand while playing with the other. His whole hand was calloused from all the playing.😅 A much cherished memory!!! Even when playing as a co- guest with other artists, his unique sound was instantly recognizable.

Albert was not only a master musician and entertainer, but he was a great person.

Soooo Good. Flawless, energetic and exciting. What a player. My next guitar is a telecaster. RIP Albert.
