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!
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!!
Between Red and Johnny Hiland.....they are like musical crack! Cant get enough of either guy.
Guess I don't have to say anymore👍🎼
Not a single cliche to be heard! Every solo is purely melodic and full of jazzy surprises. NOBODY comes close!
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?
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! This is Joebass from Studio808A. In addition to my studio work, I do most of the sound for the newly launched Floyd
Country Store TV.
YES! This got into my high end hifi-test list directly as number 4.
I’m listening at home in my underwear and this is the best show I’ve seen in years! Thank you so much!
Hey burgie, you must have the same ears as me!
yes.
No one ever talks about what a great singer Redd is.
Great voice!!!
Im talkin....yes a great singer if playing awesome isnt enough.
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
This show was nearly 3 years ago imagine how time goes by so dam fast. These teenagers think we have been here for ever.
Dear Jesus, what a find. Where was this guy my whole life?
To whom ever engineered and mixed this, thank you, thank you thank you. Balanced and Beautiful
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!
@@josephdejarnette5143 Thank you so much!!! This is fantastic stuff
@@josephdejarnette5143 any chance of finding out what kind of amp Redd was playing through? Thanks.
@@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.
@@josephdejarnette5143 thanks. Appreciate it.
Talk about a guitarist's guitarist! Captivating.
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 😆🤘
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!
I'm from Maine...who did you play for?
@@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.
@@thomasmorelli9271 Do you have any place I could listen to your music?

Redd is undoubtedly the very best country guitarist on this Earth.
I don't know Brent Mason's not too bad !!!
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.
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.
well said jamestele!
You nailed it- He gets all of those timbres and tones and styles and it's amazing.
Redd you are just fabulous! (Sorry for such an understatement!)
Perfection LIVE. No studio. No tricks. The real deal!!
“Mixed by studio 808A.” 😂
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!
This gentleman leaves everybody in the dust…..
cc: Danny Gatton fans
Redd and 2 other great musicians make most modern country sound amateur. Quality pickin here!
Wow, this guy deserves a lot more recognition.
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!!
Shout out to rhythm section too… so solid. Upright player is smooth as butter 🧈🤣🤷♂️
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.
I watched this the first time around, but Red's always worth a "Second Helping!"
Redd is one amazing guitar player.....
🤯 that blew my mind. How comes this guys name isn‘t mentioned along with the greats.
Who the hack is this man even?!!!
Amazing.
Check out guitar player Johnny Hiland! The greatest guitar player you've never heard or maybe you have... Cheers
One of the best players alive! Go Redd!!!

@@UliHeim Thanks!!
@@MrMayer-nj6xl Thanks to you for the setlist👍
Thanks!!!
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.
3 petals
What amp is that?
@@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.
What a player on the guitar phenomenal licks
Redds phrasing is pure talent and feeling.
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.
Red could probably teach them things he the best.
Der Mann hat eine Gitarre im Blut...soll sich einer ein Stück abschneiden....so locker 😊❤the best ever gehört !❤
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.
Talk about a talking tele master ! Redd is the man for our time .
He’s still so amazing. My god. My favorite country/western guitar player. He’s got everything, dexterity, twang, emotion, rhythm, tastefulness, chordal harmonies.
Superb guitar! And powerful commentary about restrictions the public bought into!!!
The mix on this is exquisite, as is the playing!
Thank you Marly!
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!
@@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.
Mike Bourque and Redd Volkaert are my two most favorite guitar smokers ever! Mike is the only one I have shared stage with many times. Maybe Redd will hit me up one day for some shuffles that swing.
This is the way its done chilluns. Redd is the 'Tim Wakefield' of Country Music.
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!
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 can see why cats have also used tele's for jazz..
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.
@@rockinredneck57 oh Jack Pearson?
It’s no wonder that Redd spent so many years backing Merle Haggard. What a talented musician
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..
Great bass work. in a genre accustomed to the attack of bass guitar, this guy is fully effective on standup.
Hey, I think you guys are darn good. Great job!
That’s the best sounding tele I’ve ever heard through a compressed UA-cam mix from my phone, lol. But seriously… that’s a level of playing most mortals will never reach.
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.
Being the lead singer and being able to play such a guitar at the same time is great art. Not many people can do that at this level!
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. 🎸🎸🎻🎻🎹🎹😁🖐👌👍.
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!
@@atticusfinch4687 Btw, how great is this video? Have watched it about 15 times I think haha
@@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?
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.!!!!
Beautiful mic selection from Joseph; killer dynamics and playing from Redd, Nick, and Dylan. Love it!
Thanks!
Red is one of the best I ever heard or seen…
Absolutely wonderful. No pedals, just a guitar plugged straight into the amp. It's all fingers and talent.
Best concert I've watched in years, musically and really fun to watch.
Great sound of all musicians. Bravo!!!
Thank you!
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 !!
I'm speechless ..this man appears to be a national treasure!
He is
@@ledaswan5990 absolutely
He's a Canadian.
There has never been a guitar player as stunningly engaging as Redd.
what a great mix and recording capturing this fantastic performance!!
Thank you!
Thanks!
I know a lot guitarplayer , not able, doing these great chordsolos . An underestimated discipline.
Zac Child’s pointed out recently that Redd’s playing through a Shobud amplifier, they literally only made a handful of these and if anyone should own one it’s Redd, the true master of the clean Telecaster sound.
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!
Thank you!
Absolutely one fabulous guitar picker. Can listen to him all day!!
Redd is a master of his old Telecaster guitar.
Brawo Volkaert!
Text book perfect tele playing. Historic.
A lot of coolness right here good work by all 3 band members
I didn't know how much I was missing my Redd Volkaert fix!
...an absolute treasure!
Even tho they are the same age, I see Redd as Brian Setzer's cool Uncle who told him ....Hey kid here are some awesome country/jazz licks to play in your rockabilly band to impress everyone...."
Them playing together would be awesome. It would blow a lot of minds.
What a clinic fer a tele lover and a haggard fan...can't get better than a red guitar picker..
Wouldn't have though anyone could get away with all that fancy shit on a song like Crazy Arms, but Redd makes it work. Then on the Randy Newman song that the drummers sings, he dials it back to perfect, *and" looks like he's having fun doing it. Awesome.
The guy is great. His bass and drum guys are real good too.
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.
Thank you for your musical treat.Its nice to hear someone who plays a telecaster using all the features correctly.You have a natural feel,that relaxes the listener and your licks are original and clean and clear.Twang that gitbox,brother! I didnt pay for a great show, but I feel I should have,I enjoyed it that much.excellent recording that must be recognized.You have a fan for life,and I play rock and blues,but you are too cool for school!
Red Volkaert...
Unbelievable...
I had to get my jaw reset....
What a pitty Brazil has no band like this ina our mainstream.
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!
it goes to show what can be done with 3 exremely talented musicians can do!
@@USNVA-yn6cp Yes, and with great songs it's as good as it gets.
Can’t quite see what amp he’s using.. any ideas?
@@SoulconversationDuo looks like a Show Bud.
How can you not dig Red's playing style and technique? Inspirational if you dabble in guitar...
Great style!
Unbelievable guitar player. Never saw any one like him. And a great band.
You have also Albert Lee great guitar player too
What outstanding musicianship by these guys. An absolute joy to behold...
this is one of the best sets i have ever watched. i don't know how i have overlooked redd volkaert until now. he is an amazing talent
I knew he could play but this cat can sure sing too!!!
We miss you in Austin, Redd!
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!
I saw red play last it’s in melbourne absolute melody magic guitarist singer thank you
Hear him this weekend at the Montana Folk Festival in Butte, Montana for free!! Donations for the festival encouraged, three days Friday through Sunday. July 14-16, 2023
I've watched this 5 or 6 times. It just gets better every time. What a delight.
... and here comes a STANDING OVATION from Europe/Austria! ... FUNTASTIC MUSIC! ... best thing so far in this shitty Corona-times ;-) ... Greetings and best wishes ... SALUTE! CHEERS!
I'm honored to be witness to to this
Red is the best. Always has been and always will be. Taste, sophistication, and chops for days. and...he's a great guy.
Wichita Falls Texas !!
SO Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet ... now this is what I am talking about ... COME ON WITH IT ...
Stellar !
This brings so much joy to me! Let the talent and feeling and respect for each tune keep on truckin’ Men!
I’ve watched many of Red’s videos. This is the first time I’ve felt a Les Paul influence. Very good.
