[milanking15]

Sir you are just awesome.Thank you for this video.

[rednebb]

@milanking15 Thanks, glad you liked it ;-)

[alphasxsignal]

I use a Republic Tricone Resonator  and love it.

[alphasxsignal]

Was the slide part done in standard tuning?

[rednebb]

@alphasxsignal No, it's tuned like this, from lowest to highest string: D A D F# A D

[Mr25thfret]

sir, that's the -most- homage I have ever witnessed! Thanks so much. You did them proud!

[rednebb]

@Mr25thfret Thank you, I appreciate that :-)

[Mr25thfret]

Awesome!!!

[Foobuba]

These four videos has to be one of the best things made since strings in a stick! Educational, great music and well played. Imitate these songs, technique and characteristic isn't done by a day. Well done!

[rednebb]

@Foobuba Thanks again!

[thelex001]

This is simply marvelous: a public service. Thank you for remembering who dug the well: Robert Johnson, Charlie Christian, Danny Cedrone. I wish you had Scotty Moore in there as well. The Sun Studio musicians - most importantly, Scotty and Bill Black - were seminal in creating the vocabulary of rock 'n' roll.

[rednebb]

@thelex001 Thanks, I appreciate that! I was actually planning to have Scotty Moore in there too, but somehow he fell out during the process, sorry..

[HoboCabbage]

this is verrrry cool and educational, and you have a great concept of fidelty when playing these tunes and deciding what guitar/effects to use. oh yea.... F***ing awesome playing. I would love if you could check out some of my videos :)

[rednebb]

@HoboCabbage Thanks!

[therealtoreal66]

[pinoyblues]

[rednebb]

[therealtoreal66]

@rednebb Nice Charlie Christian. Nice Chuck Berry. KILLIN Rock Around The Clock solo.

I LIKE HOW IT'S NOT POP.

[iboughtit]

I like the Brian May signature in the background.

[Stratster68]

@danfretland

How weird-How would he fit all those players into a , what 10 minute video? I would truly like to see your video on this. Great guitar player does a great job and you boo hoo it-spare me. I have been playing for 35 years-I can play big time-But I also appreciate other players-You sound very jealous to me.

Please post it. Your video I mean.

[rednebb]

@danfretland If you read the full video description you will see that's exactly what I've done.. I don't claim this to be the complete "Bible" of rock guitar or anything.. ;-)

[rednebb]

@danfretland Yes, I know, but please watch my newer (R)evolution of Rock Guitar video series (in 4 parts), I've included a few of those you're mentioning there. And this is a presentation of Rock guitar, not Jazz guitar, so that automatically excludes the jazz guitarists you mention. And of course it's impossible to include all the history's many great guitarists in such a relatively short representation, I have to make a selection based on my preferences and opinions, like you say.

[w4wxp]

I Beg to differ on the whole distorted thing. Go look up 'Johnny Burnette Rock n Roll Trio'. It's widely held that 'honey hush' and train kept a rolling' used the first true distorted guitar, almost a decade prior to the stones. Not to mention that you completely left out LINK freakin Ray?

[rednebb]

@w4wxp I know that Keith Richards wasn't the first guitarist to use distortion, but the Maestro Fuzz-tone was the first commercially available fuzz/distortion pedal, and Satisfaction was probably the first known recording using that unit, so therefore it's significant. And sorry I left out Link Wray (with a W..)

[w4wxp]

@rednebb Yeah, sorry about the type-o, lol. I just think that 'Rumble' really changed the landscape of music, with that ultra thick (for the time) power chord/Distortion combo. Hell, even compared to songs today it still is a super dark, 'in your face' sorta song.

[rednebb]

@w4wxp Yeah, I agree, if I ever make a new version of "Evolution of rock guitar", I will probably include him..

[1satisfiedmind]

Do you speak English Ketil? I would like to see a fyll song on your Eastwood Savannah-there is not much on that guitar online and i really like it what's you opinion

[rednebb]

@1satisfiedmind Yes, I speak english.. I love my Eastwood Savannah, and maybe I'll do a full song with it later

[MrWoodoop]

what wah pedal were you using? and where abouts in your effects chain? it sounds amazing! need some tips! thx :)

[rednebb]

@MrWoodoop Boss PW-10 V-Wah, placed first after the guitar. The PW-10 has many different wah settings, I don't remember exactly which one I used..

[davidiancu]

man, how many guitars do you have??:D

[rednebb]

@davidiancu A lot. ;-)

[aaronkbetts]

awesome videos man!

[rednebb]

@aaronkbetts Thanks! 

[steamonic]

I just stumbled onto this. That was so much fun to watch / hear, wow!

[asrod]

You've done an excellent job, thanks!

[rednebb]

@asrod Thanks!

[TheMicasa99]

One of the best videos Ive seen in a while.

[mmadden94]

That "Stairway To Heaven" solo was beautiful. Once again, great job.

[ar2619]

Thoroughly excellent, thanks for posting. A great choice of songs and all played with authentic tone and expression.

[rednebb]

@ar2619 Thanks! ;-)

[petecatz]

[wannebee92]

[gmonkey808]

My god. This needs more views its amazing.

Its as good as a comercial TV show.

Love the sound of that Tele. Also the Red Special in the second film.

You are absolute quality.

[rednebb]

Thanks!

[kissing88]

you're my guitar hero D:

[shadowthedark]

this is wonderful, but i personally think you should have included Link Wray

[rednebb]

Thanks, and yeah, I considered including him, but he was left out, sorry..

[Gobblinable]

Heavy stuff! <3

[stonechild656]

[Fr0zenT0ast]

[robertbazoo]

[CrazySean]

I nominate this best video on YouTube.

[rednebb]

:-)  Thanks!

[sebbalarsson]

Most inspiring work! Impressive guitar work and excellent information

[aulasdejapones]

Excellent video!!! Takk!!

[lerxt42]

bloody awesome

[Skitlus]

Du har glemt Reinhardt.. :p

[rednebb]

;-) Ja, men nå var vel ikke han noen rocker heller da (men det var forsåvidt ikke Charlie Christian heller)...

[Skitlus]

Det er sant, men de var vel betydelige begge to. :)

Hvor lenge har du spilt gitar?

[rednebb]

Jada, definitivt. Ca. 30 år..

[AbbeyNO]

Amazing work. Loved it. Hendrix ftw

[BlachZackmon]

Little Wing is probably my favorite Hendrix song

[AbbeyNO]

Me too

[Andhika1993]

wow how many guitars u have man?

this is awesome!

[rednebb]

Hehe, quite a few (If you wanna see them all, please check my website..) Thanks!

[jacksparrow7789]

JIMI HENDRIX FTW!

[stephanschwenk]

I'm deeply impressed - great work and 5* - Stephan

[Marbis1]

Great! I hope there will be part 3 soon! But, as my english is not very good, the subtitles should last longer :-)

[rednebb]

Thanks, I've just uploaded parts 3 and 4.. Sorry about the subtitles, I thought they were long enough.. But you could of course just pause the video during the subtitles so you get enough time to read them.

[austboeen]

Takk for denne fantastiske videoen :) Gleder meg til part III :)

[rednebb]

Tusen takk, den er snart på vei..

[Cyssio666]

Awesome, It may be popular like your "canon" :)

[rednebb]

I doubt it, but thanks..!

[tone4days]

very very cool

nicely done

hellacious chops and tones

much respect

i hope you are having more fun than it seems you are .. maybe not when making the video ('cus i know it requires attention to numerous simultaneous details), then at leas when you are playing 'just for fun'

cheers,

t4d

[rednebb]

Thank you very much! Yes, I'm having great fun, but this is just the way I look when I play; very concentrated and maybe not very happy, sorry.. But I'm normally a very happy person ;-)

[Stinnie89]

I have the same thing, i look cranky when i play ^^

But damn, cant wait for part 3, you really have some classics there, and its giving me ideas of what to learn! (Every guitrarist should know AT LEAST the intro to stairway, right? xD)

Subscribed! Thanks!

[rednebb]

Right.. Thanks!

[plymma73]

helt konge

[JohnLRice]

Great job! (I watched 'em out of order! ;-)

[LavaMan60]

Absolutey amazing. Dead on tone, phrasing and note-for-note playing. For a guitarist's view one BEST videos ever posted on Youtube. Look foward to 2&3.

[rednebb]

Thanks a lot! Part 2 already uploaded, part 3 coming soon..

[edoloman24]

awesome

[synniii]

You're awesome dad :D <3

[rednebb]

Takk ;-)

[peacefrog434]

Awesome! I just finally realized your username is b-bender spelled backwards.

[rednebb]

Thanks! Yes, you got it right! "Bbender" was already taken..

[P3AC3B0Y]

It's just... great...!

[frankiza]

You are the king of guitarists. Amazing!

[sh00tbl00d]

[SwiftShoe]

Awesome work!

Awesome guitars :D!

[azumikik23]

J'ai hate d'entendre la suite !

[ronaldclapton81]

[luismycan]

Hey!!! absolutly wonderfull. !! Thanks

[elrafasongs]

GREEAT !

i'm ansious to watch the second part!

[solidus882]

since i have seen your first videos, i follow your uploads. I'm always surprised by your playing, you can play a lot of style with your own feeling: it's called talent!

Continu to share your amazing videos, we need more good videos!

See you

[rednebb]

Thanks!

[Funkypotat0]

You, sir, are MY guitar hero! You played each sample very well. I can see you know a thing or two about guitars.

[eNikoltsios]

amazing video! well done!

[jbatterton]

Like always, Ketil Strand is amazing!

[miguell2106]

eeeeee cool :DDD i love it man and you have a lot of guitars i only 2 :/

[LeEG0]

Awesome!

[morzanity]

Steikande bra, Ketil!! Ser frem til fortsettelsen. Btw, hvorfor ingen Les Paul?

[rednebb]

Hei Morten, og tusen takk! Pussig du skulle nevne det.. En Gibson Les Paul Goldtop med P-90 pickuper er faktisk den neste gitaren som står på ønskelista mi nå. Men jeg har en gammel Ibanez Custom Les Paul-kopi som sannsynligvis blir med på Part II, så følg med videre..

[morzanity]

En ny LP Goldtop, altså? It's called G.A.S. - Guitar Acquisition Syndrome, you know :-) Om du ikke er så nøye på headstock'en kan du alltids låne min Epiphone LP Slash Standard Plus Top. Har jo aldri tid til å øve likevel :-)

[rednebb]

Jepp.. Jeg vet det, jeg har lidd av G.A.S. lenge, og det er visst uhelbredelig, så vidt jeg vet..;-) Har du en sånn en altså, kult! Er det sunburst-modellen du har?

[morzanity]

He, he, skjønner hva du mener. Har G.A.S.-lignende tendenser på andre områder. Har en sunburst, eller tobacco sunburst, som Slash (svært passende forøvrig) kaller 'sin' modell. Den er jo nytelse å se på, men er vel strengt tatt laget for å bli spilt på :-) Det er noe som heter livslang læring har jeg hørt, så der ligger håpet... En dag skal jeg komme igang - lover!

[rednebb]

;-)

[quer94]

wow fedt!

[juca2929]

This is great!!! The visual Wikipedia of Guitar!!!

Amazing!!!

Cheers

[rednebb]

Hehe.. Thanks!

[olekr88]

Du er dyktig Ketil, gler meg til fortsettelsen!

[rednebb]

Takker ;-)

[fabesh]

Génial!

[Magus2002]

gj.

[1HeartnSoul]

I like it! I like it alot!

[lost1230]

great tone, nice light crunch at 4:47, 5:34 very "stratty" sound, 6:08 amazing thick wah sound, 7:07 amazing tone, 8:45-end amazing tone on the tele

[rednebb]

Thanks! And thanks to Native Instruments "Guitar Combos"..

[rainbowrampage1]

amazing man

[morshlook]

Great!!!

[Torfinnmadssen]

Eg tykkjer det er supert at du legg fram historien til rock i ein slik underhaldande måte. Eg må i regelen lese langt og lenge for å få den same infoen som du gir her på ti minutt. :)

[rednebb]

Tusen takk, hyggelig at du likte den! Jeg håper å komme med del 2 (og 3) snart, så følg med videre.. mvh Ketil

[Alexrose12345678910]

Really cool.
