May I add -- whoever is responsible for the sound recording and/or engineering on this video did a damn good job-- one of the best sounding live videos I've found on YT Super clean and distinct.
Thank you! Audio engineering is like cooking - When you have great ingredients, it's easier to make something special. It is a treat working with these guys!
@@kennybluet5527 I don't remember the details, but Redd explained to me that it is heavily modified from the stock version of that amp. I mic'ed it with an AEA R84 ribbon mic, and a Shure sm57 blended approximately 50/50 and panned out for stereo.
I've been playing guitar for over 50 years. I feel like a rank beginner watching Redd. So fluid and articulate! And a seemingly unlimited vocabulary! Bravo!
Phenomenal. Unless you've tried playing an instrument you'll never know just how advanced this band is. Like the music or not U have to admire the greatness.
I cant lose my boring cliches after 57 yrs playn guitfiddle....maybe ill form the...CLICHETS! maybe not... I still luv ya goofy Greg K. so dont get those knickers in a twist. k?
this is how it’s done. Redd is in a league of his own, the rhythm section is tight and the sound team completely nailed it. I listen to this everywhere I go
Redd sounds better than ever. And I love the power trio. It's just right to feature his best. No need for other instruments. But I guess I'm a guitar nerd. Great band.
The entire band is awesome. I found out years ago, practicing in a house where we had to keep the noise level down, that there's an art to playing in a less loud manner: the art of subtlety is no joke. I absolutely love Redd's jazzy, Western-swing meets chicken pickin' & hybrid picking, with hints of lap steel and pedal steel flourishes, giving the impression that there are two or three other band members! Everything I would ever aspire to play like! Like the sound of Heaven.
He’s still so amazing. My god. My favorite country/western guitar player. He’s got everything, dexterity, twang, emotion, rhythm, tastefulness, chordal harmonies.
From a guitar player whos been playing the same licks over and over again for 40 years this was really refreshing and enjoyable . If Im on this earth for maybe another 100 years maybe I can learn a little from this man .
Yes you are right, I have also been watching his videos for years. But I'm not able to get anywhere near his guitar playing. And most of the time he sings too!
In the 80s Redd came to my town in Clinton Gregory's band. We opened for them at a club we played at frequently, and got to see Redd play in person. I play a Telecaster, and had won guitar player of the year here in Maine. I called him the "bus driver" because seeing him took me to school! We got to hang out between shows. He was very smart, funny and just a nice man. I learned a lot of great licks that day! As you can see here, he plays clean and very accurately, as well as creatively. He milks so many sounds out of his axe. Other than a tad of reverb, what you here is clean. Just awesome technique. Thank you for this video, it is great and so nice to see him play again!
@@apresmidi153 Two bands - Bootleg, a country rock band through the 1980s and 90s, and my current band, who played with Clinton Gregory and Redd, the Allison Ames Band.
What a monster on the guitar Redd is...and what a killer rhythm section this is backing him up! Some of the best tone and playing I’ve heard in a while!
Spectacular guitar works. Red is certainly the most under-rated guitar player in America. Years with Merle really polished his playing. Not many current guitarist can match Red in country, jazz, swing etc. He's brilliant.
I'm still waiting to hear/see Redd and Jack Pearson play together. That would break some folks. They couldn't handle the awesomeness of it. Guitar players would weep.
A masterclass. No distortion, no overbearing bass or drums, not even reverb on the vocals. I think I saw Redd step on a pedal, once, but his sound didn't change. And folks, this is them, warming up.
@@SoulconversationDuo I don't know, and I can't really see it well enough in the video to be sure, but I think I can make out an "H", so it could be a Hamiltone, in which case it was probably custom built in Austin, Texas.
@@m0j0b0neit’s a shobud single channel built by Kenneth Cain. Made in the late 60’s and early 70’s, and known as one of the best clean amps ever created.
Red has a wonderful vocabulary of chops all I can do is smile and shake my head in amazement. I just stumbled into his video what a great player and the other guys compliment him well.
Not only is he a fantastic world class guitarist with a great rhythm section but his vocal is super good too. This is the real deal happening in real time in our lives right now. Pay attention people....I know I'm preaching to the converted!!
While the world reels in turmoil, America looks for heroes, Redd is one such hero, doing his own thing, so universally loved. Forever my favorite Tele Master!
This is so great, so many tasty riffs and licks, love the chickin pickin and the beautiful Tele tones. The recording is so pure, it’s like listening in your own home. Thank you!
That’s the best sounding tele I’ve ever heard through a compressed RUclips mix from my phone, lol. But seriously… that’s a level of playing most mortals will never reach.
Volkaert is one of my guitar heroes. The finest true country player to come around in a long time. The best are always underrated and I say he's right up there with Atkins and Reed.
Redd may be the greatest country guitar player ever and one hell of a singer to boot and there are a mere HANDFUL of people at this club! Meanwhile Justin "Auto tune" Bieber has a BILLION followers on Instagram and packs out stadiums! Something's seriously OUT OF WHACK!!
Beautiful guitar playing, and great band balance. As someone mention in the comments, unless you play guitar, it's hard to realise how good the guitar playing is! Very nice performance from everyone!
He's absolutely amazing and I had the unbelievable experience of meeting him in 2000 when he was on tour with haggard. Even got his autograph and Don Markhams as well as Merle Haggard himself in merle's book!!! One of my GREATEST experience's in my entire life! I sing merle's tunes all the time to this day! Love you Redd!! Bret Lee from PA.!!!!
Redd is off the charts great. A guitarist could learn more from this one hour video than years of lessons if they'd pay attention to how Redd fills between lyrics, for one thing. And the drummer and bassist are solid as a rock. One of these days maybe I'll be lucky enough to see Redd live.
That boy can sure can play that brush drums hes very good lets keep him rocking thanks guys.kind regards Gregory lee for MELBOURNE VICTORIA Australia. 🎸🎸🎻🎻🎹🎹😁🖐👌👍.
@@SimpleManGuitars1973 because austin has gotten outrageously expensive in the past 5 years. we were lucky to have him as long as we did. i'm happy to see he's got some great jam buddies in his new home.
I truly believe that Redd is as good in his corner of music as Stevie Ray Vaughn was in his. "Free flowing'" music and improv. It is just amazing playing. All of the band are total pro's !!
Having seen Redd play live (remember them day shows at The Continental Club in Austin, Redd?) , all anybody could say is that this man exudes music when he plays. What a gift he has, everything flows with an endless smoothness and flawless melodic flow.
Ich spiele seit gut 50 Jahren Gitarre, kann aber nicht annähernd so spielen wie Redd. Und er spielt diese tolle Gitarre auch meist noch während er singt! Sehr oft sehe ich mir seine Videos an.
I have been a subscriber of Guitar Player magazine for well over twenty years. I was an avid reader of it prior to subscribing... It is an absolute injustice and lack of insight that Redd has not been on the cover 7-15 times! He is an absolute genius and can play any style that he wants to (just search some of his videos - one of him even getting down on some heavy rock and roll with Ted Nugent, wielding a tele like it was a battle axe). He is absolutely one of my all time favorite players ever!!! God Bless Redd Volkaert!!!
I was fortunate to see Red in Adelaide South Australia and was completely blown away by his awesome talent its great to see he is still playing the greatest guitar ever made and doing that quality country music he does so well. As a band I think a three piece has never sounded so good you are all very fortunate to be playing together I do hope it keeps going for a long time. 👏 👏👏
It is so exciting discovering new (to me) guitar rippers. Instant fan. I was watching Ry Cooder videos, next thing I know RUclips is recommending this and I am very grateful. So good.
This is the country music I didn’t know I needed. This is what great music sounds like fellows. What a player. Holy moly. Thanks mix guy. Great job immortalizing this perfect performance.
This is something else! Talent in spades!!! Great little combo and thanks to the sound engineers on this show, they’ve captured a fine recording. Love all the jazzy chord changes.
Redd Volkaert (born 1958) was a successor to Roy Nichols in Merle Haggard's backing band, and is "among the country’s top Telecaster guitar slingers." Volkaert won a 2009 Grammy for Best Country Instrumental Performance. While best known as a Fender Telecaster player, with a personal collection that includes a 1953 Fender Telecaster, a 1951 Fender Nocaster, a 1958 Fender Esquire and a 1950s-style Hahn Telecaster. Volkaert has lent his name to guitars made by other companies, including Asher. Redd's band has been playing Saturdays, and Redd plays with Heybale!, the Sunday night house band, at The Continental Club in Austin, Texas.
this guy is one of the best guitarists on the planet
and of course the rhythm section is smokin
one of the 800000 best yea
Shows what a clean Tele & a bit of reverb can do
Anyone who disagrees never understood what music on a six string is.
I have guitar lesson DVDs, music CDs, and am a big fan!

I've been playing guitar for over 50 years. I feel like a rank beginner watching Redd. So fluid and articulate! And a seemingly unlimited vocabulary! Bravo!
I know what you mean! Feel like I have wasted 55 years.
Any 10 year old can play like this .After 40 years practice.
For me it's everything in music
Same here.....after 50 years makes me feel like quitting. 😕
Same here....Redd is a genius. Ive spent the last two months breaking some of his licks... hilarious fun 😆🤘
No one ever talks about what a great singer Redd is.
Great voice!!!
Im talkin....yes a great singer if playing awesome isnt enough.
Phenomenal. Unless you've tried playing an instrument you'll never know just how advanced this band is.
Like the music or not U have to admire the greatness.
..........& THAT is the key. Make it look so ridiculously easy that you don't even realize it is Difficult. ROCK ON REDD. Cheers sydney N.S. Canada
And it's just as they rehearsed it. That's the impressive part
How could you not like the music?
@@christodav I know right
Great live music thank you guys!
Not a single cliche to be heard! Every solo is purely melodic and full of jazzy surprises. NOBODY comes close!

I still luv ya goofy Greg K. so dont get those knickers in a twist. k?
Best Tele tones ive ever heard combined with his heartfelt beautiful dynamic playing ....WOW
this is how it’s done. Redd is in a league of his own, the rhythm section is tight and the sound team completely nailed it. I listen to this everywhere I go
Redd really seems to have a lick library for a brain, it seems unlimited even after an hour and everything flows so musically. Incredible!
He's Guitar George 'cause he knows all the chords.
Hey Petrus. Thanks for breaking down his song and making me aware of him!
@@atticusfinch4687 You're so very welcome!

@@TeiscoCurlee Its phenomenal.
I can’t believe I missed this guy.
Thanks again!
Hey is his guitar in regular tune or is that too string dropped down?
Redd sounds better than ever. And I love the power trio. It's just right to feature his best. No need for other instruments. But I guess I'm a guitar nerd. Great band.
Would be interesting to hear a good steel player in there now and then.
@@sir60man70Cindy Cashdollar.
My choice exactly! her tone and touch is to pass awzy for..but not from..
Between Red and Johnny Hiland.....they are like musical crack! Cant get enough of either guy.
Guess I don't have to say anymore👍🎼

@@Gitarreroblue He's one of those guys other guitar players like to watch. It's generally the public who don't recognize how good he is.
There has never been a guitar player as stunningly engaging as Redd.
This show was nearly 3 years ago imagine how time goes by so dam fast. These teenagers think we have been here for ever.
I know a lot guitarplayer , not able, doing these great chordsolos . An underestimated discipline.
Best concert I've watched in years, musically and really fun to watch.
Redd's got the great hands, magic hands, and a beautiful soul for music. And kudos to the drummer and bassman, I so enjoy stand-up bass.
