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!
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.

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.
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!
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!
@@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.
@@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.
geeezz Red you realy got some power in those short fingers there ! we dont all have that ,dont you have some more simple two vinger tricks! love the lesson ! whe are trying !!
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.
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
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....
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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!
Redd... You sir are a natural born teacher!
I love this classic Country and Western style. Great lesson
Great video Redd. That's one of the prettiest guitars I've ever seen. Love it.
it is nice to hear undistorted tone from a guy that that plays the hell out of a tele. Nice Redd.
Excellant tutorial ! It's SO nice to see a veteran cut to the chase, with poise and grace. Lovely guitar as well !
Nice, I saw Red many moons ago at Robert’s in Nashville. Amazed at his guitar playing then and now.
I played there many years ago for UK television! Tiny stage against the window hahaha...
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!
Redd thanks it's a real pleasure to watch your playing up close ..very talented guitarist indeed!
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!
These are all so useful, but the "Together Again" lick is truly genius. Thanks for doing this Redd!

Great stuff! What a pleasure to hear a guitarist using the lost art of : Actual Note Names! C, D, E, F, G, A, B!
better to think in numbers relative to the chord and key.
Every musician should know the very basics of music theory to say the least. It's not rocket science!

You have talent for days Redd , thanks for taking the time to teach.
Hi..Great lesson...That has to be one of thebest looking tele type Ive ever seen..Thanks….DH
Really liked that Mr Redd. Keep em coming!

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

Great teaching! Using the songs to teach the context for the lick! Nashville Number System; so good.
Love you RED!!! TRUE LEGEND!!!
Excellent lesson. Made it easy to understand. 🙏👍
That sounds so good! Thanks for this great lesson!
Incredibly grateful
Hi Redd , I would like to see alot more of you. Amazing lesson, great sound and one beautiful guitar.
Pretty chuffed I learned a new trick tonight! Thanks Redd!
Tomorrow we make the test if you understood everything. lol
Great lesson, love his humour. Fine man.

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

Nice guy, great teacher guitar ICON!!!
Thank you!!!God Bless You!!!Great lesson!
Really fabulous thank you so much I really appreciate you playing it’s just so incredible
That is a beautiful guitar! I want!
Nice one mate, keep up the good work,, Gib NZ
hahaha choice Redd nice your Intro s & ending s luv watching you 🎸🎸🎸🎸
When someone tells me their hands are too big to play the guitar I always bring up Segovia and Red Volkaert
very very true then you look at the hands of Alirio Diaz...just the opposite...
@@onemexican1973 look at the hands of Antoine Boyer

Thanx red good tiips
Thank you!!
Clear as mud.
Thank you sir.
Great stuff, Redd!

He a dead ringer for Burl Ives don’t you think ?
Neville guitars rule!
This lesson is worth $
Thanks go to his gigs
A genuine Neville, hunh ...
Great stuff ! What kind of pick is he using ?
TRUE FIRE REDD VOLKAERT, can you make a video tutorial on showing a lot of different pedal steel bends licks on guitar?
I wonder how many guitar necks he has crushed with those ultra powerful fingers.
2:43
Help when I bend that note with my first and second finger my pinky and ring finger won't stand still
9:12
what gauge strings are you using here?
this is dangerous knowledge to be sharing freely on the internet.
can someone tell me what scale hes playing at 2:50 ?
That’s a C major scale; C Ionian.
Bloke's got hands and fingers with even more muscle than Danny Gatton's.
What gauge G string?
Redd!
🎯
There's got to be a way to do this in post.
He's got some girthy fingers.
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.
Would anyone recommend using 9’s or 10’s?
With all the bending, I’m guessing 9’s would be easier??
Depends on your guitar and how strong your fingers are. I use both. The 10s take a little more effort but it works fine.
That said, a lot of players use 11s.
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.
The older you get the lighter the string gets.
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.
You are using a bender guitar. (Not sure if it’s a G bender or B bender). I’m on to ya’ old man.
Its neither
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?
Check out Clarence White.
Remember when this guy gave all his newborns sons to the white Walkers?
I'm here to STEAL guitar licks
A quarter tone? We knew you meant a half step....
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.
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
Steal guitar licks 🎯👍
steal guitar is still guitar
@@matthewchunk3689 Strong agree. And this is still a great lesson
The action on your guitar is too low, the sound of rattling strings is cutting any sustain possible.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
nothing to see here
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.
