    Zac - LOVE how you describe Ray's playing as RIDICULOUS! So true! Saw Him point blank with Marty Stuart at the Lonestar Roadhouse in NYC in 1991. Then & there I knew not a single picker on the planet could even dream of ever surpassing Him. THE MOST. Thanks for this!

    It was Ray that made me want to learn to play guitar, thanks to him Ive made a career in music on my guitar. To me he´s the most original country player with his unusual solo compositions. As I told him, to me he´s the Pablo Picasso of country guitar! He´s a a master and a real inspiration.

    A great Ray Flacke story-a friend of mine was a lighting tech for Ricky Scaggs, and while Ray was warming up, he was playing Richie Blackmore licks, and my friend was shouting requests-and Ray was obliging!

    I was fortunate enough to see Ray playing with Meal Ticket in London many times in the mid 1970s. Really influenced me to the extent that I bought a custom Tele (with neck humbucker) like he played in those days. Would heartily recommend the first 2 Meal Ticket albums. "Rural Routes" is a great example, also "Standing On The Wrong Corner". Fabulous!

    Hi, Zac! I just found this - great! I did a guitar seminar with Ray, areally aggressive guy, both personally and in his playing. Backstage he didnt want to talk guitars. He wanted to talk about cars and we clicked right away. He had an older Lincoln Mark lV, and i had a 77 Cadillac Coupe Deville, very fun conversation. He loves Ritchie Blackmore.
    We pplayed "Squeeze The Weasel", bluegrass speed.The bridge went around the cycle, several changes, and he pointed at me to solo over it. At least I didnt fluff it too badly...
    BTW, he was using the Gibson amp - really loud!

    I became a Flacke fan after seeing him live with Skaggs about 1981, outdoor evening concert, downtown Jacksonville on the banks of the St. John’s River. Ray was terrific and distinctive. I’m still a fan.
    Edit: you do well at emulating Ray. Enjoyed very much.

    Zac, I gotta tell you how much I'm loving your content, my man. I'm not even much of a country fan, more of a jazz and blues guy. Your content is so, so valuable and has thought me a ton.
    Feels like hanging out with a buddy with a guitar on my lap for an hour with a coffee.
    Growing up in Texas, I used to watch Texas country reporter on the weekends with my mom, you remind me a lot of the host of that show. So calm and knowledgeable. All the best, friend. Glad to have found your channel. Thanks for making it.

    Man. I remember Ray coming into the Turf and standing in the doorway watching me playing with Tommy Townsend or somebody. And it was just surreal to have one of my heroes watching.
    Then on my break, I was either in Wolfys watching Ray, jaw on the floor. Lol. And he always had a HUGE glass on Guinness. L9 blasting. Jaime Hartford killing it too. Man those were the days bro. I miss Broadway in the 90s.

    He must have been a very early G&L adopter to have got a Broadcaster; that name didn't last long before they got the legal letter from Gretsch, as Fender had done back in the 50s.
    BTW, I checked on where Ray Flacke was born; it was Milford on Sea, which is not near Bognor at all but close to Bournemouth, about 40 miles further west. I've got an aunt living in that same area.

I'm embarrassed to be so clueless about these players. I'm still digging into Jesse Ed Davis from a couple of weeks ago. I gotta check out Ray Flacke as well. Thank you so much for the
    Spotify playlists you post. That really jump starts the process. Be safe and be well, my friend. I appreciate all that you do.

      There is a great video on TH-cam of Country Telecaster solos,
      I’ve found tonnes of great players through that as it gives the name of the player. Also check out the Don Kelley band from Nashville, every player that has come through that band is a real legend in their own right.
      Right down to the latest guys who are still in their 20s.
      It just informs on more players but Zac’s in depth deep dives are a great source also.

    Great video, Zac! Why don’t you do a video on Robbie Robertson, since the time he was with The Hawks? He had a white guard Tele then.

    Ray’s Star Licks video you mentioned was one of my biggest early influences. I still use his “F” lick from that video and could probably still get through that G minor (Bb) instrumental he played on there. What great memories this gave me. Thank you for not letting this monster guitarist be forgotten.

    Thanks once again Zac! Good stuff. When you do the roasted maple necks video, I'd like your opinion on the minimum size, gigable Amps. Of course I'm a tube amp guy. TIA!

    Flacke's guitar playing was primary in the the success of Skagg's Highways And Heartaches album. Ricky let Flacke go and never achieved
    the success he had on any following album.
