Joe Bonamassa talks about the Fender Telecaster

[lexist7]

It's not a Fender Telecaster. Whoever said he was talking about the guitar he was playing in the video?

[edhombre]

I don't care what the guitar is. his playing is bitchin

[Miteour17]

he didnt say fender..... Why the fuck take have a sentence and make utter shit out of it.. and if you look at the guitar its a Telecaster shape..... O Wait It's a Broadcaster zing!

[tfaucette87]

Say what you want, but that's a Telecaster. When you have Joe Bonamassa money, you can afford a custom shop Telecaster.

[MrSpudz1234]

@TheRealrocker74

[desert567]

That is one sweet FENDER, NOT!!!

[AndySan]

This guitar is NAT a Tele!

Looks like a Viger to me TBH.

[xJustynLx]

Joe is the biggest douche that ever held a guitar

[GuardianOfFate12]

@xJustynLx I don't think he's a douche, really. Just immature. As in, he still thinks like a teenager. HIs dad used to be the one toting him to jams and raving about his kid, so I think it's partially the environment he comes from.

[PANICBLADE]

@xJustynLx yngwie malmsteen

[xJustynLx]

@PANICBLADE

Even then

[psychopathtoine]

@xJustynLx why?

[pdy666]

Kinda funny he's playing a Gigliotti, which I think might be his signature model, and saying "Telecaster". Come on Joe.

[splashfizz]

excellent playing. I'd really like to figure out that "pick plus finger picking" technique. it's great to hear someone who's very talented.

[TheRealrocker74]

I wished he had tuned up his low E string throughout the entire video.

[Stratblooz]

The biggest irony is that he´s playing a Suhr not a Fender Tele.........

[603881]

@Stratblooz Sorry, that's a Gigliotti, not a Suhr.

[707dude707]

A fast player with soul he is

[lluuddeekkk]

@707dude707 Joda are you??

[707dude707]

@lluuddeekkk something like that

[LudwigNyman]

I suck

[Repenning85]

Wow.

[rippinshifter]

that is the best fucking sounding tele I've ever heard.

[guitboy85]

Can you play country on it? ;)

[beyondalohas]

love that guitar body

[seasonedtoker]

I wanna kick him in the butt for playing that good...

[psychofunksoldier02]

We need a Joe B lesson on those techniques he demonstrated at the beginning of this video.

[GibsonRocker1958]

Has to be the shiniest Telecaster ever made

[moseseseseses]

The height of his talent on display in B.B. King's night club, as shown on the youtube video of B.B. King's interview about Joe, when Joe was about 12 years of age, far exceeds what most guitar players will ever reach today.

[moseseseseses]

Joe can play any style of music, and his lethal licks are endless. Just when you think that you may of had heard all he can do, he will come out with a new album that has another display of his endless licks to love and be mesmerized with. I don't believe that we will ever have another guitar player come upon the scene that will exceed Joe Bonamassa. He is the platinum laced with rubies of the rarest sort with his dynamic displays of soothing sounds that just bliss the blues upon us.

[moseseseseses]

His warmups like the one above far exceed the extended talents of many guitar players. Joe is the man, and whenever you see or hear a comment that is disdainful in the least , applied to Joe, it is the voice of jealousy speaking. Some guitar players who delude themselves into believing that they are the first and last genius on the frets, can not take hearing a boss of the blues, and blues rock like Joe above, far exceed anything that they will ever even attempt to reach. JOE THE MAN.

[ixlikexscurvy]

what kind of tele is that. its ugly. like him

[moseseseseses]

@ixlikexscurvy Upon stage today when seeing Joe perform, one looks upon a very handsome guitar player that resembles the italian models in Forbes Magazine. He is very clean cut and hasn't used his body as a tattoo drawing board or pin cushion with all the piercings that you see some guitar players plagued with. I do believe that any disdainful remark against one so elevated with talent of instrument and voice as Joe, is only the voice of jealousy speaking from someone ate up with envy.

[kungfudragon99]

@ixlikexscurvy bitch please, i know so many girls who would bone him.

[WesTyco]

MIND. BLOWN....  eargasm

[dragonkin9]

Not saying anything about his talent or musicianship, but that isnt a fender.

[t1p1may0]

@dragonkin9 it's a Gigliotti.

[poneyboy23]

@dragonkin9 He never says "Fender". He says "Telecaster" which by now is an industry accepted term for any "real" or "copy" Telecaster.

[hojima]

@dragonkin9 he said telecaster, never said fender. the name only says fender.

[TheRealrocker74]

@dragonkin9 it's still a thinline tele. It's a perfect example for what he is talking about in this video. It doesn't really need the Fender label to be a tele. This is the body shape of a tele. The single F-hole of a thinline tele. The tele pickup and control setup, as well as the bridge...it's a tele.

[s1914]

@dragonkin9 Ha ha - well said !

[gav25x]

@dragonkin9 What is it then?

[racerx3065]

@dragonkin9 the title is wrong, Joe never says its a fender

[rectalbomb]

i know i should be commenting on how awesome he is but i already know this. but ive never seen a finish on a tele like that its fucking beautiful O.O

[anderson5908]

were not worthy!

[BJrok]

A lot of Eric Johnson influence.

[junkahmad888]

where the cliff claven did that guitar come from? this guitar, along with his feisty finger work is enough evidence for me to say that joe bonamassa is not from this terrestrial planet.

[thephilej]

really awsome guitar :D

[1954tele]

CONSIDER THIS; Anyone who's been in the same state with a guitar can recognize Joe's immense talent. He's got a lick library like no one I've seen. BUT; Anyone who doubt's his talent after watching this===by definition CAN'T be reasoned with, so stop wasting thoughts & text. As if words would persuade them after watching this. My opinion is that some just want to argue, and then you have those titans of ignorence. Just a thought.

[Stringprodigy]

That's a Gigliotti, not a Fender Tele.

[cazulu3]

@Stringprodigy Giglitty Giglitty Giglitty...that's a nice looking and sounding guitar.

[pandabear941]

Joe Bonamassa is the best

[jmillzz2]

What is this, how to play a Telecaster? Play it how ever you want. Yes all guitars sound different, we know.

If you are trying to cop other peoples tones I suppose it's good to know what guitars/amps/fx they use.

This should be titled 'How Joe B Plays a Telecaster'.

[sr1129]

@jmillzz2 pretty sure that no where in the title or description or even in the vid does it say "how to play a telecaster" it says Joe B talks about the telecaster and thats exactly what he does.

[jmillzz2]

@sr1129 Guess I was in a bad mood, apologies. I guess I thought he was going to talk more about the history of it or something. This seems like more of an ad for Fender which turned me off.

[junkahmad888]

@jmillzz2 it should be titled...joe bonamassa talks about the fender telecaster...

[jmillzz2]

@junkahmad888 Okay enough already. It's a subtle distinction I was making. I apologize to the entirety of Youtube.

[theGuyYouHate01]

JOB FOR A COWBOY, BEST BAND EVER! Fuck this guy

[theGuyYouHate01]

JOB FOR A COWBOY, BEST BAND EVER! Fuck this guy

[cmzangetsu1993]

What a beautiful guitar.

[leehoward95]

I believe that the guitar he is using there is a Gigliotti GT custom, very nice, starting price is over $4,000

[waterkeeper03]

@leehoward95 Good Eye. That is the Joe Bonamassas signature Gigli. never seen a gigliotti in person, I'd really love to inspect that finish.

[madmax892006]

Joe Bonermaster?

[TOM47812]

legend

[foxybrown2]

Joe the paint job on that guitar is awsome who did that

[tvanhalen]

No question, Joe has Tone and phrasing to match. Just awesome. 

[phriend2spin]

Joe is really just a solid all around player, be it whatever style.

[theGuyYouHate01]

compare this idiot, to this guitarist and vocalist...no comparison!

/watch?v=iHW01gY7H-4

[PUIALALI]

@theGuyYouHate01 unnecessary....



[CMSpida]

@theGuyYouHate01 retard

[jimihendrixfan2008]

@theGuyYouHate01 I really hope you are kidding. Blues beats the bullshit you listen to. It's just noise.

[theGuyYouHate01]

@jimihendrixfan2008

no....job for a cowboy is better, listen to them.....fuck that gay metal, like metallica and megadeth, and that shit.......the metal I listen to is real

[cmzangetsu1993]

@theGuyYouHate01 Dude... I am sorry but I freaking LOVE metal and that stuff in my mind shouldn't even be considered music... I would advise you take your ignorant biased opinions elsewhere to some other video.

[alles1962]

Every time I see Bonamassa play, I want to give up guitar.

[ThomasDeLello]

Why are Jazzmasters and Jaguars not popular...? What are the pros and cons of those...? They look nice, but nobody uses them much.

[BlackCrescentBrigade]

@ThomasDeLello

An answer to your question would depend on what you like in a guitar. But to give you a general idea, you should check out a series of videos here on YT titled, "Interactive Fender Bible".

[dtravis7]

When you can play everything he is playing even in this video as well as he can, then come back and run him down and maybe people might listen. Who do some of you people think you are bashing him. Show us your video (Un-Edited).

[headwhop26]

Even though I like Joe and love his music, I hate that guitar, hate the tone, and the reverb/delay is awful

[theGuyYouHate01]

Who the fuck is this guy? Any he didn't succeed in selling it to me

[Boo28706]

@theGuyYouHate01 who the fuck is joe bonamassa?! are you fucking retared

[theGuyYouHate01]

@Boo28706

LOL...but no seriously, who is he.....He's obviously a salesman of some kind, ehh?

[Boo28706]

@theGuyYouHate01 i can't tell if your serious or your trolling me. he is a world famous blue/rock guitarist. look at the videos on your left

[theGuyYouHate01]

@Boo28706

oh..........im not trolling, i had no clue

[enhanceviewsl49]

@theGuyYouHate01 You are a Grade A retard bro.

He is one of the best musicians on this planet.

[theGuyYouHate01]

@enhanceviewsl49

nah, Mick Thompson is better

[enhanceviewsl49]

@theGuyYouHate01 How do you know? You didn't even know who Bonamassa was till yesterday O_o

[theGuyYouHate01]

@enhanceviewsl49

-----> videos in the related section

[enhanceviewsl49]

@theGuyYouHate01 I just checked out Mick Thompson...

Sorry but I still prefer a down to earth, child prodigy, musically talented, amazing guy. In comparison to a....  Mask wearing, creepy, stuck up dude who has the "I can play fast so im the BEST!" mentality.

[theGuyYouHate01]

@enhanceviewsl49

He's good tho....but, the best is Head from Korn

[MrGamerBazer]

@theGuyYouHate01 Mick Thompson and then the guy from korn.

Shut up troll.

[theGuyYouHate01]

@MrGamerBazer

they're good tho.....

[MrGamerBazer]

@theGuyYouHate01 the guy from Korn -_-

If ya think so XD

[theGuyYouHate01]

@MrGamerBazer

you dont think munky and head are good?

[epiphonelespaul4]

@theGuyYouHate01 mick thomson is a souless peice of shit guitarist that just plays as fast as he can over over again. its just too repetitve and boring. joe is one of the best in the world mick thompson well never get anywhere near that so fuck off and go back and listen to your annoying metal thats made for you emo nerds and stay there dont go near anything of joe cause hes to good for your shit. why your even here i will never understand.

[theGuyYouHate01]

@epiphonelespaul4

mick is much better than joe....compare this shit with Surfacing by Slipknot....no comparison

[epiphonelespaul4]

@theGuyYouHate01 oh for fuck sakes no one here even gives a shit about your boring metal crap okay if you want to listen to to real metal listen to metallica or something bands that know how to do it proply not just scream there fuckin lungs out.

joe is 100 times better joe does about 20 licks in like 10 seconds your stupid death metal shit guitarist only do 1 lick and they just do it as fast as they can and its fuckin souless and boring kind of like you. SO FUCK OFF

[theGuyYouHate01]

@epiphonelespaul4

Metallica sucks...slipknot is the best, case closed...no one cares about your fat little blue guitarist....mick thompson is the best

[k12modernwarfare]

@theGuyYouHate01 Are you retarded? Mick Thompson is only known for playing ONE genre of music. Joe Bonamassa is known for playing everything! And if I recall, one of the best guitarists to ever live (Eric Clapton) once said "if you can play everything, then you're the best".

[theGuyYouHate01]

@k12modernwarfare

nah, joe only plays blues.....mick plays metal and jazz

[k12modernwarfare]

@theGuyYouHate01 Joe only plays blues? Then why is he playing country in this video?

[theGuyYouHate01]

@k12modernwarfare

that's not country, that's like, bluescore or something, idk

[EeeAreEyeKay]

@theGuyYouHate01 lol bluescore? wtf is that? this is country dumbass and if you want to listen to real heavy music. Listen to Dream Theater, Seventh Wonder, Symphony X. Now those guys have technique.

[theGuyYouHate01]

@EeeAreEyeKay

its all flashy long overrated songs....job for a cowboy, white chapel, and suicide silence are better...the guys you mentioned are pussies in comparison

[EeeAreEyeKay]

@theGuyYouHate01 haha you like that screamo emo shit i see. None of them have any technique. How are the bands i mentioned pussies? hmm?

[codeman11845]

@EeeAreEyeKay

@theGuyYouHate01

It's all music, shut the fuck up and listen to what you like.

[theGuyYouHate01]

@EeeAreEyeKay

it's not screamo....it's hardcore/deathcore

[EeeAreEyeKay]

@theGuyYouHate01 same thing. The "core" shit is screamo. and why do they add the word "core" to it anyways?

[theGuyYouHate01]

@EeeAreEyeKay why does a leopard have spots

[MrAviiC]

@epiphonelespaul4 You will never be a good musician if say all metal is crap.. and a big no to the metallica stuff.... There are many other than metallica that can play real metal.

[epiphonelespaul4]

@MrAviiC no i ment screamo shit like slipknot i like heavy metal but when the singer is screaming his head off its gets bery boring cause i cant understand the lyrics, and if your saying not to listen to metallica well why not i love james hetfield's voice that is probably the main reason why i listen to them, but i only listen to there old stuff. but rock and blues is more my thing. all the other metal bands always have that tyical metal voice james is the only one who sings different.

[sr1129]

@epiphonelespaul4 u kno the guys SN is theguyyouhate.......

[ChaosBurnsWithin]

@epiphonelespaul4 Death Metal is soul less and is one lick played as fast as possible... hahaha. dumb blues purist. I love all music. Joe Bonamassa, Metallica, Bob Marley, even freaking modern deathcore bands that all are just chaos and destruction... if you think death metal is all just 1 lick as fast as possible with no soul listen to the song "Voice Of The Soul" by the band DEATH... so right there a death metal band named death talking about soul. please listen to that... you wont be sorry

[epiphonelespaul4]

@ChaosBurnsWithin yeah i listened to it and its pretty fuckin awesome but i dont just listen to blues, i also listen to rock, reggae, country and metal and lots more. But i was aiming what i said at mick thompson, so please dont call me dumb, i also love all music (except for rap, dubstep and pop) ok, SO CALM DOWN.

[ChaosBurnsWithin]

@epiphonelespaul4 by everything you were saying, i assumed you were the angry one. and i took offence to that comment about death metal... because death metal is beautiful, not just "one soulless lick". bands like cannible corpse are more about brutality, and that, eh, its whatever, but some death metal is beautiful, and Mick Thompson is Nu Metal and plays for Slipknot.... i dont even like slipknot lol

[RustyPease]

@Boo28706 .....Q:who the fuck is joe bonamassa?

A: someone you won't see or hear on MTV ^^

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

@Boo28706 Joe Bonamassa isnt that famous. I only heard of him recently. If it wasnt for you tube I wouldnt have a clue who he is. I am not even a fan of his. I only watch his videos because I like the look of most of his guitars.

[Boo28706]

@ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD dont talk shit about the bonamista! ♬ he'll come for you when your sleeping, he'll come for you awake....♬ check out his song "stop", peace out

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

@Boo28706 I am not going to check out his song stop because his music doesnt interest me. I only watch his videos because I like to look at his guitars especially the goldtop les paul which is beautiful.

[dtravis7]

@theGuyYouHate01 Who are you? Show us your Video with YOU selling it to us.

[theGuyYouHate01]

@dtravis7

give me one, and i will

[Breatherable]

@theGuyYouHate01 Sometimes it is far better to remain silent and have everyone think you are a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[Bigbuddyandblue]

I can?

[kingstumble]

Definitely a Gigliotti.Check out their website gigliottiguitarsdotcom.

Interesting but hideously expensive!

[danguitar91]

really? looked like the suhr headstock writing come to think of it i never seen a tele shaped suhr before. anyway good spot man i will need to check out gigliotti guitars thay sound and look amazing.

[tomthefunky]

STEVE CROPPER!!

[carswell98]

1:35 - "...and you kinda"

1:36 - so fucking lost.

[danguitar91]

looks like suhr tele copy kind of thing great guitar's guthrie govan use's them to

[davec629]

@danguitar91 That's a Gigliotti guitar built with a metal top.

[tom27j]

if anyone wants to hear joe doing country and chicken pickin' he has a amazing song on the had to cry today album calld "revenge of the 10 gallon hat" sooo good.

[gabiiguns]

Buenisima esa viola!!

[normalsigara]

get a hollow body n fill it inside

[matiasdelc]

he never sounded better than here, to my ears

[Dreamdancer11]

@DrinkThunderbird i think he is talking about the telecaster as a general build for example all those stratotype guitars out there we call them strats or strat types or strat builds...But if you ask me...it really doesnt matter.If he should talk about something it has to be his fingers...cause those are the ones that make guitars sound good not the other way around.

[kuni50000]

I just realized he sounds a lot like John C. Reilly

[himadioah]

gigliotti rulleezzzzz....fender not exist sipmle......;)

[whynottalklikeapirat]

stupid ugly guitar that sounds good

[megajames3000]

he used to be ugy with that long hair!!!! hahahahahaha

[schecterGman]

For those who haven't realized, it's a Gigliotti he's playin...

[TheArkow]

jeśli ogląda to jakiś polak niech zobaczy polskie tłumaczenie :D

[maryshelleydinner]

Great player. I would enjoy this a lot more if it weren't completely washed in reverb.

[1RobbieRoberts]

Smart Awesome Player , 5 Stars !

[iVIVIDStudios]

it says he talks about a fender telecaster , Not play one :)

[Brennan29]

That guitar does sound pretty damn good but Id rather buy 2 tele's 2 strats a Les Paul a new Martin and a few pedals instead..

[MegaLotusEater]

@DrinkThunderbird Im sure he does acknowledge it but its probably at the beginning of the vid which isnt shown here

[unknowJAZZ]

where does this material come from?

[douchechillum]

But...That's not a Fender Telecaster...
