For his best work, which also lets you learn the chops...

If you can find a copy, then the Master Session for Star Licks video (now on DVD) is a fine example of getting to grips with Albert's technique, when he played his stripped '53 Tele. It's only 40 minutes but you'll get a lot from it.

The booklet that came with both the video and later DVD requires transcribing into tab (which takes about 30 mins) to get the most from it, as it's written in a two-number fret/string style, but is well worth it.

I agree the newer DVD's where he's playing the Music Man guitar are great to watch, but you won't pick much up from them.

Personally, I preferred his 'Tele' days...
