Learn to play the electric guitar techniques that will add hot solos and powerful drive to any country or rock band! On this thrilling DVD, Ray Flacke teaches the mind-boggling licks that have made him highly sought-after for record dates, jingles and live gigs on the Nashville scene for more than thirty years.You'll learn double-stops, pedal steel-like string bends, multiple hammer-ons and pull-offs, string damping, playing below the nut and other dazzling techniques. A premier exponent of the use of flatpick-and-fingers, Ray clearly demonstrates how he produces his distinctive country pickin' sound along with his soulful soloing techniques.You'll learn four original instrumentals lick-by-lick, including the rocking Double-Stop Me If You Can, Long Gone, Squeeze The Weasel and the compelling, ballad-like Shades of Blue. A band made up of top Nashville studio pickers accompanies Ray as he demonstrates each tune, imparting powerful playing ideas with each solo.In addition, Ray lets you in on invaluable "tricks of the trade:" finger stretches, vibrato techniques, dynamic left- and right-hand exercises, his use of baby powder and Superglue, his equipment and other personal tips that add to his unique success.Reviews:"Country Telecaster Virtuosity gives Ray Flacke, one of country's most interesting stylists, a fine platform for disseminating 90 minutes worth of insight into his playing style. A picker's picker -- he's worked with Ricky Skaggs and Marty Stuart, among others -- Flacke is also an experienced clinician, which allows him to explain his finger-twisting licks articulately. This lesson isn't for beginners, but almost any guitarist should find something worthwhile in Ray's playing." - Country Guitar"A master class for the picker interested in learning the technical hot licks that have made Flacke a widely respected session picker." - Country Music

Ray Flacke is criminally underappreciated for his smokin' hot and always tasteful Telecaster playing. Every time I hear some of the old Ricky Skaggs records from the 1980s I am reminded of how great Ray really is.
I totally agree. I had the honor of being able to take a lesson from him some years ago. Loved his work with Ricky back in the 80's!

I want to take a class from Ray on Jazz, any chance you know how to reach him these days? Totally agreed you guys, he is an under appreciated living legend!
@@InspirationalDawn Does he play jazz?
Ray..just incredible telecaster guitar player..great rhythm.
I have his VHS Tape from Homespun when it came out in the 90’s. It’s like brand new. He is outstanding. If you didn’t know he tuned down it would drive you crazy trying to do that.His double stops are so different than others you know exactly who it is in 2 seconds when he starts without seeing him and yes he is so underrated
A friend told me about Ray and it is amazing how many wonderful players are around, Scotty Anderson is one of my favourites but Ray's in there
I saw him live with Skaggs outdoors in evening on banks of St. John’s River in Jacksonville about 1981. Magical. He’s been a favorite since then.
Hey, I was there too! It was out of this world. When they did the ten minute version of Highway 40 Blues I think the river started flowing backwards! Ah, good times in friendship park. Ray Flack rules.
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. My favorite country picker. RUclips clips of him have been long overdue. Love his tone too.
I love the behind the nut run that starts at like 1:21 and continues into some neat hammer on stuff. Killer.
I think was the backing track to most of my dads VHS tapes I stumbled upon when I was a teenager.
WOW! Awesome playing.
Ray...One of my heroes!!! Thanks for posting this.
Ray is a monster! 😎
A few years ago he was going all out for Seymour Duncans. I suppose the pension beckoned. Seriously though, yet another brilliant session man that never got the kudos. His tutorials are as much illuminating as mind-boggling. Love you Ray
I just found the Hellecasters' long lost brother!!
Maybe this will help if you're having trouble. Best I can do on a comment with the ascii restrictions in place...

Just harmonizing the degrees of an Amaj chord with double stops. Gives it a cool effect though
Very Special Tele Master. .. Great Sounds and Touch Filling on Guitar Mood. .. Nice One ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋
it feels good to see you play, and thank god for youtube
Saw him once in Muscle Shoals AL,, mid 80's, with Marty Stuart,, didn't know who Marty was but when I hear Ray plucking a chicken,, I knew who he was!!!!!
Like the Django tee shirt.
Thumbs came up with a tune he called, "Catch Me If You Can". Amazing how close these two songs had similar titles.
Blessed
Ray was a awesome player.
Best in town..rip..rj
He's still alive!
Sounds like Jimmy Bryant's Boogie man!!!
Telecaster maestro
Some of the best picking and bending I've heard at 2:00 - 2:10, crazy good!... btw Raw Deal brought me hear after hearing 'One Way Rider' with Ray's solo's... it just freaked me right out!!!
no, he usually runs a Telecaster into a very rare old Gibson amp, I forget the model, but he told Vintage Guitar Magazine that there are about four in the country, and his is the only one that works. Here it looks more like a Blackface Bassman head, but he's not a box-distortion type guy
Maybe I'm off, but the Fender decal and placement on the headstock look a little odd? Anybody else think this?
Tell them like it is!
the head Is actually a Jimmy Bryant/Speedy West song
Ray told me his main guitar influence for a long time was Richie Blackmore.
He told me he didn't know you ????
I think Ray Flacke used a Lab series L4 or L9 or L11 or something like that when he was with Ricky Skaggs in the early 80s. It had a 15" speaker in it and a built-in compressor. He said he owned 4 of them. He said he used a Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory man for a reverb effect. An articled in GP tells of this and more. He's a terrifically trasteful player.
Ah, thanks for the clarification!
For a minute there we all thought you had no idea what you were talking about. :)
I'm pretty sure that is that very talented and force or even main guy at Homespun tapes Happy Traum interviewing Ray .I used to have this and Albert Lee and Don Watson and a Stefan Grossman tape.
cool cool i love it it is cool cool good job coool !!!!
I love it Ray! Do you still give master classes? I would like to take a master class from you but on the Jazz topic.
Thats an old Speedy West tune called "Boogie Man". Speedy played it every bit as well as Ray, (better, really), not to take anything away from Ray. Ray is fantastic!!
@fastrnb
Ray used a Gibson BR-1, made by Barnes & Reineke for Gibson in the mid to late 1940's.
@fostermartin
The BR-1 was the amp I remembered, it's the odd-shaped amp you see in some photos, three knobs like an old tweed deluxe.
The Lab Series amps are a Gibson product, and the one time I've bothered to play an L-5 it did give a surprisingly Blackface tone. Always thought it'd make a very nice Steel guitar amp, but I don't play steel so I could be full of it.
Django reinhardt t shirt👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@breenVA: Right you are - Ray copped the old Jimmy Bryant-Speedy West tune "Boogie Man" for this tune, at least in part. That's what I'm hearing anyway. It's cool, though - because Ray earned his spurs a long time ago, and is one of the all-time greats himself.
I just realized why none of these licks work on my guitar... I have a les paul
Your misfortune...
Guess.he is still alive..wiqpd.says hes.69 and stillaround..havent.seen him in a few years..may be back in England. R.nash.tn
He is an Aussie, mate,,,,,,,,,,,,
@@11calman He's from Milford On Sea in England and lived in Twickenham, London, I knew him before he went to Nashville when he played the London pub scene with a band called Meal Ticket. ruclips.net/video/fBWPbsQDegE/видео.html
Does anybody know where to find the full original song?
Sorry for the typo...second slide is right under the first slide and should be as follows:
A(3) D(4) slide to A(4) D(5)
anyone in a Django t-shirt is fine by me !!!
I saw that too, wondered if anyone else picked up on it!!!! good eye!
@@assificationmani own one of shirts !
and to think his idol is Ritchie Blackmore
and Amos Garrett and Jerry Donahue (I once interviewed him)
3:45 on: like he's discussing a candy bar or something. Very simple. Just pick up that skyscraper and toss it out of the way. Nothing to it!
Those are a pair of very thick strings..
This is the mothafuckin bombshitnizzlesnipsnapsnap
yeah,,,Django sucks too!
Great player ! Not a good teacher,this was a Homespun clunker
Nice shirt
too fast
Most ignored Tele player ever!
You're right! They should NEVER allow Ray Flacke to play on the internet!!! Such an AWFUL player!!
can you post some of your stuff
Typical herky-jerky run-of-the mill Tele-wacking. Nothing special at all...waste of everybody's time.
