Redd Volkaert Guitar Lesson - Steel Guitar Licks - Redd Hot Guitar

[@JasonMcFly]

I love this classic Country and Western style. Great lesson

[@joshbrown8098]

What a teacher! Also, I don’t know if I’ve ever had a lesson that was such an instant game changer for learning a style of playing! Thank you!

[@strangfangers]

Redd... You sir are a natural born teacher!

[@allenhughes12]

Great video Redd. That's one of the prettiest guitars I've ever seen. Love it.

[@StringTechWorkstations]

Excellant tutorial ! It's SO nice to see a veteran cut to the chase, with poise and grace. Lovely guitar as well !

[@jman1428]

it is nice to hear undistorted tone from a guy that that plays the hell out of a tele. Nice Redd.

[@severocontreras8824]

Nice, I saw Red many moons ago at Robert’s in Nashville. Amazed at his guitar playing then and now.

[@simonlloyd7557]

I played there many years ago for UK television! Tiny stage against the window hahaha...

[@Docsjeff]

That 5 on Together Again is our A pedal w/an slow upward halfway release.That adds so much....just that 1 small thing. Thank you so much Redd.I got to meet you and your wife in Murfreesboro at a Catfish King through my friend Don Crum back in March 2000. We were both very honored you let us do a couple tunes w/your band. Thank you for these videos.They help me Tremendously.

[@rabbirelax]

Great stuff! What a pleasure to hear a guitarist using the lost art of : Actual Note Names! C, D, E, F, G, A, B!

[@axeman2638]

better to think in numbers relative to the chord and key.

[@fartzerelli1385]

Every musician should know the very basics of music theory to say the least. It's not rocket science!

@@axeman2638Impossible to think in numbers if you can’t also think in letter names. You can think in letters without being able to think in numbers; but the reverse is not true.

Hi..Great lesson...That has to be one of thebest looking tele type Ive ever seen..Thanks….DH

[@hillaryhoffman9517]

These are all so useful, but the "Together Again" lick is truly genius. Thanks for doing this Redd!

[@tony3155melb]

You have talent for days Redd , thanks for taking the time to teach.

[@claustin1]

Thank you Redd for sharing this. Really cool that you take the time to do these lessons. I’ve seen you perform a few times at the Continental Club in Austin. A great show every time!

[@mrsandman3954]

Excellent demo, my friend. Many times over the years Ive had to assume the "steel guitar" roll in bands..esp the late 60's-early 70's. I remember using most of the techniques that youve demonstrated..as well as a few that literally tied my fingers in knots!..lol Great video, and thank you, sir!

[@IamtheActionman]

Canadian legend! Wicked guitar, what a beauty

[@claudehopper9813]

Redd thanks it's a real pleasure to watch your playing up close ..very talented guitarist indeed!

[@johnadams8975]

I had the great pleasurer of meeting Redd at a benefit for a friends daughter some years back, what a nice guy and a great performer!

[@ilikezappa]

Really liked that Mr Redd. Keep em coming!

[@jds2056]

This is amazing , makes me want a tele even more. Strats are great but tele tops it for this genre !

[@monmixer]

It's very nice of you to just share your knowledge with people. Most of these videos have some gateway to make cash from you. Understandably you would be worth the lessons if you were paid. Nice gift and thank you.

[@gleroyTullySAEHEYKID]

Knew Redd in Austin. He played my '72 strat once and since it was so vintage he said " that's a strat I would consider". Shocking coming from the Telewacker. Heybale @ The Continental forever!

[@alwolf2325]

So vintage? That was the worst era, why would anyone want any of those Strats?

[@gleroyTullySAEHEYKID]

@@alwolf2325 played like a dream

[@alwolf2325]

@@gleroyTullySAEHEYKID I respect that, there are good guitars from every era. However, being a good guitar doesn't make it a vintage one, especially "so" vintage to stick out. Granted, as time passes the sheer age of guitars such as yours will make them vintage and collectible to some, but "so" vintage will always be reserved for instruments from their respective brands' golden eras.

[@alwolf2325]

@@kevdean9967 There's a sucker born every minute and all that, but if it's a particularly nice example and what the buyer wants, more power to everyone involved. It's supply and demand in the end.

That sounds so good! Thanks for this great lesson!

[@jamescoon7485]

Hi Redd , I would like to see alot more of you. Amazing lesson, great sound and one beautiful guitar.

Great teaching! Using the songs to teach the context for the lick! Nashville Number System; so good.

Nice one mate, keep up the good work,, Gib NZ

[@JonesTonesGuitar]

When someone tells me their hands are too big to play the guitar I always bring up Segovia and Red Volkaert

[@onemexican1973]

very very true then you look at the hands of Alirio Diaz...just the opposite...

[@intuneorange]

@@onemexican1973 look at the hands of Antoine Boyer

[@sledge1960]

I have big hands with thick fingers and find guitars with a wider nut easier to deal with, like the PRS instruments. These days a good luthier will build you a custom instrument for the price of a Fender American Professional off the shelf.

[@jmacc9876]

Alex Lifeson too

[@richardcrocker8048]

My problem is not size but flexibility (genetic …. as told by an orthopedic surgeon….. involves whole family … ) ….. a 4 fret spread is about all I can handle …… reason I never even tried Jazz

[@douglasboyd8475]

You’re amazing!

[@apostasiaelegcho5612]

That is a beautiful guitar! I want!

[@linkedup7346]

After watching a great like Redd Volkaert play his Tele I feel like taking a nap instead of picking mine up.(lol)...Sure looks like an awful lot of work to play that well. This is one reason I decided to really work on ear training. Ultimately it is easier when you are soloing. It seems one could get buried in the meld of technique, theory, tricks, whatever you want to call it....

[@playandsinger]

These are all learnable and usable I thought

[@albertmadrigal6985]

Great stuff ! What kind of pick is he using ?

[@jdram58]

The hard thing is the different guitar tunnings besides the normal E tunning like for blues and slide guitar we didnt have many in the know guitar teachers in North Dakota

[@jaytea42]

love it!

TRUE FIRE REDD VOLKAERT, can you make a video tutorial on showing a lot of different pedal steel bends licks on guitar?

[@ae3898]

@12:16-I’d really enjoy hearing a Redd V arrangement of “Pinball Wizard”.

[@trevorbantleman916]

He a dead ringer for Burl Ives don’t you think ?

[@intuneorange]

This lesson is worth $ Thanks go to his gigs

[@tonysloggett106]

what gauge strings are you using here?

[@JCTrucks410]

I wonder how many guitar necks he has crushed with those ultra powerful fingers.

[@lazyrrr2411]

A genuine Neville, hunh ...

[@kennywally]

Help when I bend that note with my first and second finger my pinky and ring finger won't stand still

[@garyjohnson4988]

What gauge G string?

[@MrCoolAndClean]

Very Nice video, thank you for the precise instructions! Could Anyone maybe tell me some nice (oldschool) players/albums where this kind of country steel-guitar sound is featured?

[@blahblah606]

Check out Clarence White.

[@carlyellison8498]

There's got to be a way to do this in post.

[@dnews9519]

I would love to know just how many telecasters Redd owns. I've seen at least 50 of his videos and he never plays the same guitar in any of them.

[@MrsBradleyCooper]

You are using a bender guitar. (Not sure if it’s a G bender or B bender). I’m on to ya’ old man.

[@knightfall9394]

Its neither

[@boatbutch]

this is dangerous knowledge to be sharing freely on the internet.

[@majortwang]

🎯

[@TheVicar4886]

Would anyone recommend using 9’s or 10’s? With all the bending, I’m guessing 9’s would be easier??

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Depends on your guitar and how strong your fingers are. I use both. The 10s take a little more effort but it works fine.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

That said, a lot of players use 11s.

[@TheVicar4886]

I use 11’s myself but I’m struggling with these techniques. Think I’ll drop down to 10’s and see how I get on.

[@neilgitman]

The older you get the lighter the string gets.

[@Shornetastic]

I use 11s to play my chunkier rhythm riffs and 9s for lead stuff like this. Works great and I find that the added elasticity gives you a bit more twang when you pluck the strings with your fingers. Easier to get an accurate pitch, too.

[@gamete4375]

He's got some girthy fingers.

[@telecasterbear]

Redd!

[@studiodw12]

Hello VOLKAERT wouldn't you be more comfortable on a GIBSON round? The neck of the telecaster (which is really beautiful) is the thinnest of all guitars

[@jonc7371]

can someone tell me what scale hes playing at 2:50 ?

[@m.vonhollen6673]

That’s a C major scale; C Ionian.

[@InstruMentalCase]

2:43

[@InstruMentalCase]

9:12

[@grosebud4554]

Remember when this guy gave all his newborns sons to the white Walkers?

[@tomcoryell]

A quarter tone? We knew you meant a half step....

[@m.vonhollen6673]

A quarter tone is half of a half-step. A half-step is one fret. A quarter tone is a Bluesy-sounding part-way bend, not quite one fret.

[@matthewchunk3689]

[@Amazology]

@@matthewchunk3689 Strong agree. And this is still a great lesson

[@deebis]

The action on your guitar is too low, the sound of rattling strings is cutting any sustain possible.

[@sans-qp9pp]

You have no idea what you're talking about.

[@crazycat1345]

nothing to see here

[@sans-qp9pp]

Yeah, nothing to see here from a player who's a Grammy winning guitarist and has played, did sessions, and or recorded with some of the biggest names in country, rock, and blues music as well as having a few darn good records of his own as a solo artist/band leader himself.
