Man I was irritable after a rough day and I found this video when looking for Telecaster on YT. What a relief! Better than aspirin. I want a guitar that looks like yours and I want to play it like you do. Nice tone and Stormy Monday is THE best choice for blues.
Originally got a Epi LP for the blues sound (although I realise skill of playin' comes into it!) Just got a Tele and I think it's a better guitar for blues. What would you say? Keep playin' Blues Man!
I just got a G&L ASAT Classic... First Tele I've ever owned, and my favorite by far (except perhaps a Vintage Tele I played @ Emerald City Guitars a couple weeks ago.)
I just love the sound and the tone of the guitars, they are awesome.
Really nice playing - absolutely love your tele-tone. Just going to quote what somebody told me once: dont play at top speed when you are performing. Well you are way ahead of me in that respect anyways - so keep it cool ;-)
All i can say is WOW! you are the real deal man, You made that Tele sing the blues like Billie Holiday! SMOKIN' blues! Made me shout mercy! Encore! Encore! please share more! Thanks!
Just the right way, a tele,amp, beer and a good spirit, no "stuff" to sound good o get the "tone". Way to go man. congrats, keep playig smiling and enjoyng the beer.
Just have to say this - it seems to me that Tele players are more emotional&lyrical, e.g. Roy Buchanan - because that particular guitar seems to be more "alive", yes? Dude, you have a good ear pitch/rhythm wise. Honest thanks.
I actually watched the whole thing (I rarely do that) because I appreciate the pure plug n and play approach. That's what a tele is supposed to sound like..... nice work.
you are a great guitarist. smooth and seems like you got a real feel for it, but i must say the telecaster is the easiest guitar to play especially on blues
Damn, this cat can flat-out play and then some!!! I have a ton of blues in my favorites, but this is #1. Man you need to put this on CD, so I can buy it and listen continuously. Thanks for the posting. Do you ever do "Hold It" with a guitar lead? You look like you'd know it. Thanks again for the pleasure.
beautiful bro!!I have been playing for 22yrs I used to tour in a metal band in the 90s if you get time check out my vids at vegasbbbry,peace out,loved it
I am really diggin your sound and your highway one! very nice! Hopefully ill have either a sunburst or wine red like yours.. I like your pickguard choice too! How would you say it is in terms of playability? i played one and liked it a whole lot one time.. Then I went back to play it after a few weeks and the neck felt absolutely gigantic.. I typically play on an epiphone Les Paul, So this would be a big upgrade for me.
hi sir... nice blues,... im a guitarist of smooth touch band,here in bestwestern hotel in china...im want that kind of blues very sexy smooth blues... i realy like that solo blues... god of rock bless this guy...
As good as it gets....many thanks for the pleasure!
