[destab007]

Hey Mickey great solo!! you wouldn't have tab for that solo you could send me ?

[southernsportsman424]

Hi Mickey, how bout a version of the break from "Honey (Open That Door)", there was alot of B-Bender stuff on the record, looking for a good way to play it w/out the bender.........., your Jimmy Olander vids have helped tremendously!!!!!!!!! That Buscarino sounds great and so do all your Mullen PSG's!!!! Thanks........

dang man i didnt know you played guitar as well... i play guitar and have a video up "justin spates" but for christmas i asked for a steel and began taking lessons from jody cameron, he won texas steel man many times lol... i love it, its soo much fun to play, i watch alot of your videos and try an pick up on things... thanks for everything your doing

[GregDrayGregDray]

how do you get the marvelous sustain?

[StevenDoyle35]

Recently bought a telecaster after wanting one for 16 years. Can I ask what you use to get that lovely crisp sound and at what numbers would you set your dials i.e Reverb and Treble etc..... Very tidy playing by the way.

[Singlpilot]

Steve, I play a Mesa MKIIB with a 15" EV in it...But any old Fender tube amp will do. The snap comes from the bright switch. How you attack the strings plays a big part as well. I play very aggressively in the second half of this video..

[moronicus1]

Very clean & tastefully done. Great tone.

[GuillermoSmyser]

Love that guitar! Swamp ash and quilt maple top? That's what I want but in an emeral green burst with an old-school, 3 saddle, bridge and a minihumbucker in the middle.

[flatpikinguitar]

ok I NEED THAT GUITAR!!! Man that thing sounds good. very nice playing as well

[wpgguy5]

GREAT TALENT THX

[ironmonger100]

Super technique and a tele sound to die for. Well played Sir.

[TheBigdaddydon]

Hell yeah

[gophertele]

Are you using 9's?.

Sounds good.

[Singlpilot]

Nope...10's

[jimu57]

Great technique. Do you have any more tele style licks that you would share with us?

[Singlpilot]

Millions....More coming...

[dragknuckle]

Your bends are so accurate it sounds like a b-bender. Great job.

[Singlpilot]

Thanks Knuck!...Mick

[djon34]

Unreal tone your getting there man, Nice playing too!

[3Designlab]

Whoo, i love the Ray solo.. but your own touch to the solo just make it better.. :D great sound..

I have been looking for the tabs for that solo for a long time,, any here know where to find it..??

Gretz from a new chicken picker..

Keep up the good work...

[guitarslim56]

Sweet bends, bro!

[resoblues]

Nice post, thanks

[roccop2]

Hi Nicky,

do you still live in Vegas, I'd love to catch you? I live in Vegas as well and I'm sure glad I found you on YOUTUBE, your great!

[Singlpilot]

Well, thank chrchy...I must be mental. I know its really impossible for anyone to improve upon 50's technology. Truth is, John Buscarino is an American, and is a master luthier. This isn't a foreign guitar. I searched for several years for the perfect telecaster, for me, not for you. And, this is my guitar, not yours. Please direct your under educated negativity somewhere else...

[Singlpilot]

About 3900 today...Google John Buscarino, you can see his work...Mick

[Ibik]

i love that guitar! how much did it cost you?

[jamesskb]

Sweet tone on one of my faves. Saw Ricky and company in the 80's. Flacke was awesome, and (although I like metal, Brent Mason is great. Thanks for the post.

[StratMN]

Geez. I thought you were a great pedal steel player. Then I see this... I quit. :)

[mdgtrpckr]

amen.

[Singlpilot]

Oh yeah...133 of them..

[shaunaldr]

thank you much!!! I like the Little Extra Flair....Do you have Steel Vids up also?

[stevem7]

Great job! Love the Buscarino (sp?). You've obviously got some heavy compression on your tone, what kind of compressor do you use? I dig it.

[Singlpilot]

Actually, no compression...Mesa tube amp...Maybe some compression in the camera mic....Thanks for posting...Mick

[macw04]

Sweet......

[jimzucco]

How much / where did you get that guitar? I love the finish!

[billpappapetru]

Hey Mickey..miss you at the jams in LV you moved to Texas? When you comming for a visit? Oh... great as usual

Bill

[crunchyblackkk]

[jamesskb]

Been pickin for years. Can't play real great, but saw Ricky in a local bar in the early 80's (Cryin My Heart Out Over You ring a bell) Had the full A picker line up with him from his first CD. Ray was awesome. Nice clean licks on your part. Give us some more!

[Junkala]

cool stuff and nice touch

[jackjiezhang]

hey good job! do you think i should get the ray flacke instructional video??

[Singlpilot]

Ray gave me a copy of it years ago. There are a lot of 2 and 3 note bends in it. It sure cant hurt...Do you use a claw technique?..pick and fingers?..Mickey

[jackjiezhang]

i play finger style mostly, use my nails to pick when i have to, but i just wanna know if the content of the DVD is worth watching. ive learned from one educational video on country style electric guitar solo, and i really enjoyed it. i hope it comes with a tab booklet.

[BigBoiJC]

when's the last time you saw Flacke? I know him because my dad started with Ricky back when Ricky started his solo career.

[Singlpilot]

Is your Dad by any chance Bobby Hicks?...the great fiddle/banjo player?

Havent seen Ray in about 15 years now...Long time

[BigBoiJC]

no sir...my dad was the bass player personal manager Jesse Chambers. you know Hicks is no longer with Ricky's organization.

[Singlpilot]

Oh yeah...he left about the same time Ray did...

[BigBoiJC]

no sir he did not...he was fired about five years ago. you're probably thinking of Lou Reid who left the touring band after Ray did.

[jhune08]

Hi!that's so nice!!can you give me some tips of exercise's on how to play bluegrass or chicken picking??thanx..

[codsack]

Tasty. That's always been one of my fav solos. God bless that limey.

[Singlpilot]

Thanks for the post cod...He is a limey too!>..What a great player...How about Highway 40's solo?...want that one too?

[codsack]

Do it up, man.

[Tralman1965]

Very clean, nice sound.

[Singlpilot]

Thanks Tralman!....Mickey
