[@stevehales8020]

that is the best guitar sound on Merles working man blues. You are a great guitar player Redd

[@rockinredneck57]

With good reason. When Strangers guitarist, Roy Nichols retired, Merle called Redd Volkaert to take his place . Redd played with Merle more than 20 years.

[@randysmith4081]

Awesome. Really good job

[@leonardcanter4596]

Awesome !!! I want that lesson. ☺

[@twincam88br]

[@claudehopper9813]

He played w/ Merle's band along with several other lead guitarist after Roy Nichols retired . He talks about playing with the Strangers on several interviews .

[@TheIndividual.]

When the drum-set starts staring at people.

[@shamsam4]

[@guitarhvac]

Who's the acoustic picker?

[@garywood5604]

You do know he was Merle’s guitar player for years????

[@Gratefulman1965]

I do.

[@matthewdraper3997]

Where’s all the pedals on the floor and capo and tuner hangin off the head stock on Redd’s guitar? 😉

[@rod9525]

He's got pedals and a string bender too.

[@Garry-dm5dz]

No capo and consistently practicing =🤔 fretboard knowledge.

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Needs something.

[@clintsequipment]

😶👊Dang

[@delcaplette7676]

Holly shit

[@ronaldjackson3531]

No bass. No drums. Just a Red guitars 🎸!

[@jonjeffries3265]

Kick up that mic sound man..

[@Sparky6string]

Fattest Tele bridge tone ever. The acoustic guitarist is very good also!

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

this is good but he is no Johnny Hiland

[@rod9525]

Johnny would disagree with you.

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

@@rod9525 really so you know Johnny that well?? sounds like you disagree with me which is fine Johnny you can run circles around this guy. Although I could see Johnny agreeing with you out of respect, he’s such a nice guy.

[@rod9525]

@@buzzedalldrink9131 I seriously doubt that Johnny Hiland needs your endorsement of his tremendous abilities. But, it seems you need HIS approval.... kinda sad.

[@rockinredneck57]

Hiland is amazing, but his style is different. You can't really compare the two. I do like Redd's feel and phrasing better.

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

@@rockinredneck57 fair enough, no disrespect I guess i just like Johnny more

[@johnparsons3454]

Come on - vocals way too low
