The simplicity is what i love about my Telecaster. My Les Paul Jr as well.

@CornishCockney Год назад

I agree that the Tele is an efficient workhorse with loads of voices but I must say that the valve amp makes a lot of difference too.

@FerryKnijnFotografie Год назад

Valve amps are still king!

@ParaBellum2024 Год назад

I've played many gigs with just a Telecaster, a cable, and a Fender BDR. I wired my Tele so the tone control only works with the bridge pickup, and I also fitted a treble bleed circuit. Adjust the BDR overdrive channel to distort when the guitar's volume control is fully open, with it cleaning up as the volume's turned down. Adjust volume, tone and pickup selection to suit, and that's it.

Het mooie van deze demo is dat deze toegankelijk is, het is een ontwikkeling van de tegenwoordige tijd, dat om te overtuigen, het nodig schijnt te zijn om 20 nootjes in anderhalve seconden te spelen, dit is zoals hierbij blijkt, niet nodig te zijn, dus bedankt voor deze toegankelijke demo. :-)

I didn't get the tele for a long time. I just thought it was an ugly old guitar. It wasn't until I did a blind taste test on David Paul's channel that I realized I loved the tone. Then I learned a lot of early Zep was tele too. Now I'm a tele fanatic and find it beautiful. I don't play anything else.

@toddyrocks Год назад

I'm the same ... Tele's all the way !! By the way, Jimmy Pages' Telecaster sound sold a lot of Les Pauls in the 70's !!!!

Great video! I do have a Fender MIM Stratocaster that I’ve been learning to play the guitar on, but I just recently purchased a Tele style guitar (Donner). It seems to be well built and when you don’t have a lot of money then, oh well. I’ve always heard that the Tele was a workhorse of a guitar and you can get all kinds of sounds from it, and I do like classic rock and blues so I thought I get one and so far I like it a lot!! Again Great video and I’m a new subscriber. 🎸

@bruncher11 4 месяца назад

To my personal taste, all examples sound thin and scratchy - even the neck pickup clean and alone. Maybe due to the recording. A tele can deliver far more substance, similar to a good Les Paul.

@johndaugherty4127 Год назад

I actually started with a telecaster because of Keith Richards. Then, because of Jimi, I traded it for a strat. Big mistake.

I think Jimi sounds good on both. I prefer Tele but it never hurts to have a Strat kicking around.

@iamanovercomer3253 Год назад

Yes those you mentioned on stratocaster I would add Jeff Beck and Robin Trower with stratocaster 🎸. I agree with your advice I have an 🇺🇸 strat 🎸 and was looking for a Mex black telecaster for modification and I asked the guy at the store if he had an 🇺🇸 professional 2 telecaster..he came back with a Miami Blue which caught my eye, then I held the 🎸 and I knew that this was my 🎸👍‼️

Jeff is also great, but was never a go to for me somehow…. Nice to read! Thnx for sharing!

@gvdz3395 8 месяцев назад

lots of good tele knock offs and partscasters out there too if you wanna just dabble without going the full monty and getting a Fender USA one. Ive got a Firefly that I really like and my Squier classic vibes 60s custom comes tmrw. I'm on the bandwagon indeed! Been bidding on some USA made ones on Ebay but they go like hotcakes!

@garyeggleton1142 Год назад

It may be my ears, but I have issues with bridge pickups being too bright and neck pickups being too dark....and it doesnt matter what guitar...strat , p-90 les paul, SG, and definitely Tele....trying to love them all. my mexican tele with new pickups definitely sounds good

@dilbophagginz Год назад

You can either bypass the tone knob on the neck pickup or use a no load tone pot... basically it makes the neck pickup brighter. I've done this to my tele and the pickups are much more balanced and I just use a more tame treble setting on my amp in general for both pickups.

@quintonmcdannald2327 5 месяцев назад

You forgot to rip out the treble bleed chip that makes every set of pickups sound like they use neodymium magnets.

@NotThatCoolKid 5 месяцев назад

It has a grease bucket circuit now

@quintonmcdannald2327 5 месяцев назад

@@NotThatCoolKid I can hear it and I’m not sure why people think it’s musical. My sons new American Pro bass has it and we played it against a 72 a few weeks ago. The treble bleed / greasebucket ( variations of the same thing ) made the bass sound like it had active electronics. Same with my new tele, even after putting in custom shop NoCaster pickups every note sounded like a hammer on an aluminum bench. Take that chip out and these guitars sound like a million bucks.

Hi NTCK. What effects configuration you recomend, or what's yor amp equalization, to me, that would be an interesting vídeo, because everybody only talk about the guitar, but not the sound's adjust, thank you, and I'm sorry for my bad english.

@NotThatCoolKid Год назад

Hi, well that all depends on what you want to play… i prefer just guitar in amp and have the eq pretty flat, depending on the room… but can make some videos about pedals and fx later!
