Redd Volkaert is a Canadian guitarist and musician. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitar players in the modern era and is "among the country’s top Telecaster guitar slingers” particularly in the genres of western swing and honky tonk. He was the go-to picker for Merle Haggard and has a history playing with Johnny Paycheck and George Jones. Volkaert frequently performs in the company of his fellow Telecaster stalwart Bill Kirchen, formerly of Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen. Together, they are often referred to as the "Titans of the Telecaster" due to their ability and notoriety with the instrument.
