  Some sweet playin'!

Redd Volkaert on a Tele:

I just discovered Redd's music - man, talk about playin' with soul! That's Cindy Cashdollar on the pedal steel, another great musician.

Very nice. Am I completely crazy to think that if Hank Marvin played Country he would sound like that?

As I watched it for about the tenth time, it occurred to me that it would be an inspirational clip for anybody who claims that it's hard to play guitar because they have "fat fingers". Just look at the size of Redd's mitts!!!

Sublime playing, finger lickin' tasty. Thanks Stratrat for finding that, I'd never even heard of him or her.

I had never heard of him either until a couple days ago - but he's one of Merle Haggard's guitarists, and the cat has apparently gigged with a lot of big names in the country world over the years. He's definitely got some chops!

talking about "Fat Fingers", take a look at Johnny Hiland!!!

Looks like little tiny hands but fat fingers. I've watched about three different videos and I don't think he ever uses his little finger on the left hand.

And can he PLAY!!!!!! WHoa!!!

You're right, this dude rocks! But he actually DOES use the little finger on the left hand. When he's doing a tapping routine!! Check out his demo on the PRS website!!!

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
