Does Albert lee play a bum note here

Does Albert play a bum note at 3:05 or am I hearing things?

no. just transitioning to the bridge.

I would say yes. The same pattern is played at 1:29 and he hits a G natural. At 3:05 it's a G# and it sounds off. His violinist is excruciatingly sharp, IMO.

I'll defer to jb, he has the ear of a master...

That's what I hear, I guess there is hope for all of us,If Albert can do it so can I. :oops:

Play one wrong note and its a mistake.
Play two wrong notes and its jazz.

Yes he made a tiny mistake

Every note the fiddle player played was a mistake cause she was out of tune.

Probably bad monitors. Anything can happen on a live gig.

yep.

In the words of Walter "Wolfman" Washington:

"Wow! Sounds like a rotten note to me."

Can happen to the best of us - which Albert is without a doubt. But that was indeed a rare bummie. However, that's the great thing about playing live. Two and a half nanoseconds later and the audience has forgotten all about it.

BTW, I also agree that the piddle flayer was excruciatingly sharp.

One in a billion isn't too bad.

That video was at a Marrs Music. He probably met the rest of the band about an hour before they rolled video.

P.S. That is one ugly guitar.

He should have played the bum note twice, made everyone think that it was the correct note.
