Fender Telecaster 1978 with blackface Fender Vibrolux Reverb plus Okko Overdrive Pedal

[MrMesidz]

Totally Epic sound and playing! :) What is your singnal chain after that AKG mic? What pre, interface, AD, any added EQ/compression/Limiting in the box?

[TheOffenderDeadlock]

my squier tele affinity has the same design:)))

[TheOffenderDeadlock]

my favorite guitar design!!!

[SparkyGi]

thumbs up, if you 'd like the mic-stand-teddy bear ,back!

[iivan1966]

I like your style. :) Great jam!

Actually, I just plan to by a Vibrolux that is the reason why I check videos. But your music is really nice, I'm glad to find it!

[jamesmarshall67]

Stunningly pretty volume swells, playing and tone control. Hats off.

Does this remind anybody else of a crunchy jazz/blues sister-track to Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game'?

[Kassarth]

@jamesmarshall67 Totally. The chord progression is the same...

[twelvemeister]

i know your a les paul man gregg , but you sure know how to bond with a telecaster

[jamontoastst]

dude, you are awesome!!!

[moogyboy6]

Hey again Greg...I must say you are a true master of the sample-loop groove, two or three heads above the typical YouTube shred-guitar showoff, and I always enjoy your videos in this particular style. Please keep 'em coming. :-)

[musiccalgary]

For me it's too much noodling but I appreciate the effort.

[hicks727]

Too many "tricks" just play

[Bluesguitar247]

aww, where did the teddy bear micstand go? :(

[temptstress666]

sick dude

[macentropist]

I will like to play music with you. I give and take, and so do you. call me.

[frenzexperiment]

I love the Vibrolux Reverb...legend amp

[JoeyTheGuitarDude]

Dude that is my dream guitar. Best colorway ever.

[luukdoedens]

Must see this amp ( search for: Kema Mark 1 ) great tube amp with a great sound !!

[bmx4evaful]

[JDog1024]

Great as usual! Just wondering, how is the action on the older teles compared to newer American made ones?

[theblacktaxi]

great vid and awesome playing. what's that microphone that was used for recording?

[GregsGuitars]

@theblacktaxi AKG D 320B

[SuperStupid248]

Very nice playing, you look like Mick Taylor somewhat?

[Italicorum3500]

Hi, I really love your playing. Can you please tell me how did you get the backing track? There is nay pedal that do that by any chance? Thanks in advance for your help.

[IceRide]

Very Nice Playing!!! Soothing quality about it. New fan here!

[thiagobl08]

what pedal are you using to repetitons?

[thiagobl08]

what pedal are you using to repetitions?

[thiagobl08]

Hey Man...God bless you!!!!

What pedals are you using to repetitions?

Thanks!!!

[MrBlues95]

Greg do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of 60 cycle hum on my telecaster? It comes in on clean and overdrive

[MrYohanko]

All your videos are awesome. Thanks for uploading.

[ljukyguitar]

omg, that was fuckin great. i have tele, but mexico. nevermind, works amazing, you can watch my sultans of swing cover if you're willin'. cheers!

[harlesslee]

Nice! I have and love and use the same amplifier, with a G&L ASAT Classic. Not sure what the date is on mine. It's a silverface, fairlt clean with no dirt, so maybe a later one. Some silverfaces actually used the blackface circuit. I love the tone, silverface innards or not. I'm going to buy your CD. I like your style bro.

[Sorantaldo]

awsome work! i was checken throu some of your stuff and i´m really diggin it! nice mike stand btw haha;)!

[Sorantaldo]

awsome work! i was checken throu some of your stuff and i´m really diggin it! nice mike stand btw haha;)!

[amozartii]

You really have an amazing feel....I'm blown away.

[admpz610]

Hey man I bought your cd sweet rain from iTunes. love it your an amazing guitarist

[GregsGuitars]

thanks a lot

[HalfBillion]

WOW I really like that tele

[ArtDonna84]

Greg, I don't think there is a video you've put out that I don't always enjoy watching you play and the tone that you find for each video you do. Thanks for always taking the time to put them on YT.

[pimpinbunny]

is thing any good for modern rock or punk O.o just wondering i really like the look of the tele

[card1100]

@pimpinbunny i wouldnt recamend it becous a tune o matic bridge and a angeled head stock produce a heavier sound this has an average bridge and a straight head stock and just two pickups but this would be able to a good hendrix type of sound

[jdmusic07]

I get a "wicked game" by Chris Isaak vibe from this jam. Awesome playing and great vibe; ear candy that tasted delicious.

[santiagosalvadore]

i'm getting wet:D

[mitscan]

Chord progression? RC-2? Beautiful.  Great player!

[GregsGuitars]

Cm7 - C11 and F with C in the bass

yes RC-2

[mch5019]

how do you get your amps to sound so consistently good? is a silverface or blackface? silverface modded? what is your secret please!!!??? so smooth playing.

[GregsGuitars]

just a stock blackface Vibrolux plus Okko Diablo Overdrive Pedal , no secrets...

[Jujmoo]

I'm getting a telecaster

[Disco234jockey]

For rock is this guitar better for Rhythm or Lead?

[GregsGuitars]

depends how you play it...

[thefeelingtheblanks]

Great!

[guitarmen66]

sounsd awesome

[hsmekhjian]

Black on black looks amazing!

[TheeLoveland87]

that vibrolux sounds amazing in every video... is there a modern amp that is similar in sound? i obviously wouldnt be able to afford an original vibrolux.....

[GregsGuitars]

unfortunally there is no modern amp that is similar in sound

[TheeLoveland87]

@GregsGuitars

hmm.. I would a 65 vibrolux, but the channels are kind of noisy, the vibrato doesnt work, and it doesnt sound as good as yours. they are asking $2500 USD.. do you think its worth it in that condition?

[GregsGuitars]

you can repair this amp very easily. I would buy it

[TheeLoveland87]

@GregsGuitars

as far as repairs, do you think that new tubes, caps and resistors would clean up the tone? or would it possibly be more than that?

[GregsGuitars]

I don't know

[lighteningboy]

@GregsGuitars Fender is doing reissues of some amazing amps lately, some sweet pieces of amp. Big bucks though.

[denis1wanic]

Where can I get an Okko Overdrive?

[GregsGuitars]

from me - just send me a mail

[ellioteaston93]

see my channel thats my guitar!! i love it!!!

[alexdldude]

This is an amazing jam!

May I ask if the Fender Vibrolux is worth spending that much money on? It sure sounds good :)

By the way; this video has a great quality of audio recording, thank you for that :)

[GregsGuitars]

The Vibrolux is one of the best amps ever!

[alexdldude]

Haha, thanks! Then, I'll just wait for my birthday to get it xD

when I checked your profile I couldn't help noticing that you were from Germany. And I'm studying German for the moment :)

Vielen dank für deine Antwort? Is that correct?

[GregsGuitars]

Korrekt

[gorblimey61]

Beautiful Tele tone there.

[jroberto1994]

:O

Amazing !!

[declan215]

some class playing there.

[LedZepplin3853]

HOW CAN U AFFORD ALL THSE GUITARS

[GregsGuitars]

I ask my Uncle every time. Ben is his name - he is pretty big in rice

[SqiroS22]

pure quality music from a great artist... and a great instrument

[HiJohnHar]

your best video i've ever seen, Gerg!!!!

[Matiaz11]

Someone can tell me what the name of the pedal that is used in 0:20

[GregsGuitars]

Boss Looper RC-2

[Matiaz11]

Thanks !

[funlivelife]

I want that guitar...............

[gilbertgodlyddd]

Brilliant!

[mwadevilg]

It's all about the cut of your trousers.And they're cut. Rock on!

[MrGodam29]

props dude

[JEUXolim]

great guitar..great playing!

I'm only 14 but i can tell this is pretty sweet. Tele's give such a unique tone...love em!

[sandundermyfeet]

Sweet Jesus Greg! I was searching for information on a 1978 Fender Stratocaster and stumbled on your video. Unbelievable dude! Soul brother! Sweet rythm indeed. P.S every played around on a 1978 Fender Strat? Thinking of buying one!

[BluesShredGuru]

It looks like the telecaster that Pagey used sometimes.

[nickre96988]

AHHHHH!!!!!! im crying that is so good

[stratBite]

Tasty!

[syfman7]

That was great!

[LegacyRiff]

Superb playing and great tone! There is a Mark Knopfler undertone in your playing.

Absolutely brilliant. 5 stars and you have a new subscriber.

[ddbobdylan]

What chords are you using in the progression?

[GregsGuitars]

Cm7 - C11 and F with C in the bass

[ddbobdylan]

thanks, and great job

[KsiazeIgor]

Sounds like "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak to me, to be honest. Reverse blues progression, so graceful to improvise. You pulled it out very, very nicely. Ta

[louisalive]

Gotta be my favorite fender amp, after the supersonic that is :)

[menthol1984]

thats the sound of pantys falling, brilliant

[Confugium]

very cool, thanks for the moment

[thabilas]

are the chords from ''surround me with your love''??

[GregsGuitars]

sorry, I don't know this song. The chords where just improvised when I recorded this Video

[slipknir]

el Fender Black face de los 60´s es el amplificador que mejor sonido acustico a brindado en toda la historia... lastima que marcas reconocidas como fender, marshall o peavey hallan bajado la calidad d elaboracion y sonido d sus amplificadores a medida q an pasado los años...

Tener un amplificador como ese esun lujo total, el sonido lo dice todo

[jazzupjazz]

amazing vibrolux revrb amp!

[ellioteaston93]

thats my telecaster!!!!!!!!!

[dirtbagarry]

wow way amazing dude

[mauwiilde]

muy bueno

[grungenrocknroll]

Wow fckn great tone! I couldn't believe my ears! This is the best Fender tone one can get from any amp in the world!

[fendergolden1]

!!!!!!!!

[RMukoyama]

that's great man

[thebeast239]

perfect. 10/5

[edwardianson]

10/5=2 UR MEAN :| lol....:P

[thebeast239]

hm... oi ?

[someonebigman]

i love his style

[iaedean]

i hear a lot of mark knopfler, sounds awesome man

[miller434]

hey greg, man you got a good sound!!! I'm looking at both the deluxe reverb & vibrolux right now, kinda torn, but anyways...is your okko drive there, a diablo, twinsonic? Just looking around trying to find some on the internet, sounds really great man!!!!

[GregsGuitars]

thanks! Yes I have some Okko here!

[iwillnotgoquietly3]

i have a fender telecaster just like this but i am wondering what type or amp should i get? and also pedals to make it sound like this? i want to get a good amp and stuff but not spend 1000 dollars.. any ideas??

[ledzep149]

would you reccommend a tele over a strat?

[GregsGuitars]

that's a matter of taste... for me a tele is the guitar (beside my no.1 Gibson Les Paul) but a lot of players prefer strats

[admpz8]

hey man do you have a album out?

[GregsGuitars]

I have 10 album out - just check my homepage

[admpz8]

cool found it thanks man

[fendermannnn]

Just Amazing!!! i love it!!!

[sheepmanA]

nice playing, you have really good sound

[cosimomazzotta]

aaaahh... Great great feeling dear Greg!!!

[christrealized]

Superb Demo..! Excellent playing.. great tone.. awesome feel..!

Are the pickups stock in your Tele..? is the amp stock..? Very impressive.. I might have to buy one of those amps..

Kudos from Vancouver Canada

Christopher

[GregsGuitars]

thaks a lot, Yes - everything stock

[dimlocator44]

Nice playing! Funnily enough, I've just come back from a friend's house who's fixed up my Tele, & he offered to sell me his (non reverb) Vibrolux...

[ianwhalleyisgay]

Awesome playing my Deutschen brotha, what kind of microphone are you using? Please let me know :D xxx

Big luv n ting

[GregsGuitars]

Hi my american Bruder, thanks. The mic is a AKG D-320 B

[nomadh]

You can ask what hes using but don't kid yourself. He's going to sound great on a turdocaster. I'd like to have your looper but I really want your hands :)

[guitar2012]

might i ask how much you paid for this and in what year?

its such an amazing guitar

[Apelsinburk]

Hi Greg,

Which strings are you using? Your tone is amazing!

[GregsGuitars]

Darco 0.11-0.49 thanks!

[admpz8]

this video made me buy a tele.. sick skills

[christhekiwi12]

play some slayer

[GregsGuitars]

what's that? never heard that song!

[christhekiwi12]

search slayer reign in blood

[GregsGuitars]

was just kidding.. :-)

[christhekiwi12]

hahaha doh!!! Great playing though man. Im also a fan of the tele, have a 72 deluxe, hiwatt hi-gain(amazing clean tone) and a Godin Summet. Im on the lookout for a decent reverb pedal!

[Pridesmasher]

I like how the whole room is full of guitars.....Nice guitar skills man...

[FerCcr]

Dude, I've seen thousands of vids on youtube, but no one has such a great tone as yours, couldn't see not even one who equals it. Awesome playing also.

[coffee489]

You really know how to bring out the sound of one of the best guitars in the world. Great job !!!!!!!

[bartgen27]

what did you record the rhythm you were playing with. It seemed like you just started playing the rhythm and then clicked something that just kept looping the rhythm over and over again which is sweet, I have never seen equiptment do that with such ease. Can you tell me what you used or was that a prerecorded backing track.

[GregsGuitars]

it is a Boss Looper RC-2

[steelyd1983]

great tone. I like the playing with the volume knob, adds a unique sound to it

[aoconnell33]

first, you are off the chain! straight dynomite!! love your playing. ....is that "lightning crashes"?

also, do you prefer the P90 Squire or this tele??

[GregsGuitars]

Thanks, I don't know "lightning crashes" this is just improvised.

I love both teles

[FetusElitusInc]

This answers my question from the 52 tele video. The humbuckers are nice for a mellow sound, but these single coils cut through so amazingly. Nice playing again!

[marcoferraz]

this baby sings...

[WickedThunder630]

Umm, dude...that kicked ass!

[rickso12]

You sound great what ever you play

[wisesatyr72]

Very nice tone, not the kind that pierce your eardrums

[brettlac]

Did they make blackface vibrolux in 78? Do you mean 68? I think 68 was the last year for blackface, unless it was a reissue?? Great tone either way!

[GregsGuitars]

Hi, 1978 is the telly

[brettlac]

Gotcha! I have a 65 blackface vibrolux. My fav amp. Mostly for gigs I use my vibroverb reissue but on special occasions I'll pull out the Vibrolux. Cheers!

[ArtDonna84]

Your the kind of player I'd seen walk into a guitar shop, sit down to test some equipment and sstun those around. Super nice work. Thanks for the video.

[jerryr61]

Incredible sound and great playing. I love Tele's and the Vibrolux Reverb is my favorite amp.

[andy222006]

If anyone is interested in purchasing a beautiful fender vibrolux amp let me know I'm going to be putting one on the most popular auction site. see the latest video in my collection

[erandolapedorra]

How could i get rid off the telecaster hum?

[burlearth]

buy a deluxe or a thinline.

[BucksStudent]

Or do something much cheaper: Get a noise suppressor.

I want one of these Virbroluxs really bad. I think it's clean is wonderful!

[ednaplate]

Beautiful. I recognise that chord progression but can't place it. It's really annoying me.

[telecasterman18]

The tone is soooo sweet! Very nice playing.

[leftystagg]

beautiful touch and great musical taste!

[Niraham]

I agree... The sound reminds me some tunes of Roy Buchanan. He also used Telecasters and Vibrolux. Beautiful playing...
