Al-Albaniyy's Lack of Teachers
In this audio clip of Al-Albaniyy, he testified that he doesn’t have teachers and he doesn’t truly have knowledge. He said:
كما تعلمون أنه يعاب علينا أنه ليس لنا شيوخ
As you know it is criticised on us that we do not have teachers
هذه حقيقة واقعة لكننا مع ذلك نحن أحسن من غيرنا لأننا عرفنا أنه لا شيوخ لنا وبالتالي لا علم عندنا
This is a fact, but despite that, we are better than others because we realized that we have no teachers and therefore no knowledge
فنحاول أن نستدرك هذا النقص بجهد خاص
So we try to compensate for this deficiency with special effort

Ibn Baz also acknowledges Al-Albaniyy did not have teachers in hadith
This is a book documenting Ibn Baz’s comments/annotations on Sahih Al-Bukhariyy. In which it says:
ينبغي أن يعلم أن الشيخ ناصر محدث ولم يكن له شيوخ يقرأ عليهم إنما يقرأ من الكتب
which means: It should be known that Sheikh Nasir (Al-Albaniyy) was a muhaddith (a hadith scholar), and he did not have teachers that he read upon, but merely he read from books.
The book entitled: “Al-Hulalul-Ibriziyyah”. Volume 1, Page 409.

Al-Albaniyy Negating "Settling (Istiqrar)" for Allah
Al-Albaniyy said:
It’s not permissible to describe Allah as being established (istaqarra),
as it’s from the attributes of creation (also on the top of the page it says, Al-Albaniyy said “I do not know, regarding sitting for God, a confirmed
hadith”).
