After looking back through my blog posts, I realized I hadn’t yet featured the great Fender Telecaster man, Albert Collins.<\/p>\n

Collins was one of the great blues guitarists that really seemed to understand that less is more when it comes to playing guitar, but he could certainly lay it down when the mood called for it.<\/p>\n

One of his signature traits was his use of a capo… he played in open position for just about any key by simply moving the capo to whatever key he was in!<\/p>\n

Albert Collins is featured in this video with a killer band that I felt could stand alone in this blog post.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy this great performance as much as I did!<\/p>\n

Albert Collins, known as the Master of the Telecaster kills a slow blues in this performance with his band.\u00a0 Hear and see him sing the great song, “If Trouble Was Money” right here:<\/p>\n
