Leo Fender: Actions That Led to a Legacy in Music

[Philzwhodrumz]

In the late 50's and early 60's a drastic shift in american culture was aroused by the uprising of music legends such as; Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry. Whether you consider this change to be positive or negative; it is indisputable that IT WAS POSITIVE!

[76russell]

Joe satriani is there using ibanez because those types of guitars are known as super strats( Jackson ibanez Washburn) all based on strats hopefully that answered your question bud

[bruncen]

wtf is joe satriani doing here ,  he is playing ibanez

[kdjfnvjvd]

So all post- CBS fenders aren't Leo's designs?

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@alexmortland lofl ouch i'm so crushed. I can't match your hardcoreness when you're wearing your tinkerbell outfit their mr pom pom. ha ha ha ha

[alexmortland]

Excellent job, btw.

[strat6911]

Great job!

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

eh leo wouldn't approve of this vid. too many afro-bozos and 60s hippie scum. it's too pc, i'll have to give this a downrate.

fenders were all about white rock n roll and surf music, then hardcore punk music, ESPECIALLY IN OC.

case closed

[alexmortland]

@TheNewMusicNetwork You're pretty hardcore, yeah? I'll bet you fuck shit up, hella.

Great video Stephanie, very informative and I came upon it on this day today that just happens to be Leo Fender birthday, he would have been 102 today. So thanks for sharing this great video, and a very gracious thank you to Mr. Clarence Leonidas "Leo" Fender, who was a huge influential part in bringing to us the music that we all take such great pleasure in listening to on a daily basis. Rest In Peace Leo :)

One goof I noticed was when you mention guitars, basses and amps. at 8:33 you mention the bass and the picture changes to what is looking like a Fender Jaguar, but it's a model I'm not familiar with. Otherwise this was a great informative video, and it's honestly not a huge deal, just thought I'd let you know!

[PANICBLADE]

@Igamikun its a fender VI bass. google it its cool.

[Igamikun]

@PANICBLADE Hoho you're right! My bad, and it is freakin cool! It's like a guitarists super bass.

[deapwavelio]

I thought they where going to talk more about Leo Fender best guitars G&L .

[EHXGUY]

[jdubbjazzbass]

[psichomiko]

[archynelson]

leo fender you beautiful man 

[voodooman803]

Excellent job. I hope you did well in the competition.

[BillEvans1956]

Excellent collection of images and information. Thanks. I own two G&L guitars. Leo was truly a genius. May he rest in peace.

[PopExpo]

the beatles mainly used rickenbacker, epiphone and gibson. BUT! george harison did use a rosewood telecaster during the let it be era. John also used a Fender bass IV..... they also used fender amps during the white album era and the let it be era. Fender in some way or form was everywhere in the 60s. Fender rules.... i wouldn't play anything else.

[ascheepe]

funny how things came together. nice video, thanks.

[Canadianvibe]

when the hell did the beatles use fenders. i always recalled their extensive rickenbacker/gibson use.

[mellon12000]

@Canadianvibe George Harrison had this famous rosewood Tele he used on the Let It Be album

[litlemadguitarist]

As long as there will be Fenders ther will be rock!

[EJRocky]

That was really amazing... very well done.

Do you play? :)

[KotorBrokensaints2]

A kick ass documentary, saved to favorites. I just think I should point out that at 8:33 you showed the picture of a guitar instead of a bass. Otherwise amazing!

[birdmankustomz666]

@KotorBrokensaints2 Thats a fender 6 if I'm not mistaken, it was a 6 string bass fender made briefly.

[rrw1981]

Excellent video! 

[crazycuntryboy2]

what about Stevie Ray Vaughan?

[legumes12]

Wow, if this is for school, amazing job! To me, it's exactly like one made professionally.

[bass0111]

Well-done documentary. I've been a Fender player for 46 years, and still have a Telecaster® and a Precision®. Thanks much, Leo.

[79nollaig]

this was great ,great stuff thanks

[paulstech]

I am a guitar fan and own a Les Paul, but have nothing against Fender, my next guitar. FANTASTIC job on the history. I was aware of the Braodcaster, but did not know about the Esquire. Great job!

[BigEvilLadia23]

Leo Fender u rock

[AlexHippert]

You did a great video. This is practically a mini-documentary, quite impressed with your effort.

[srfgrn]

Very well done; I'm a real Fender hound, and it's nice to know Leo is still appreciated.

[Johngtr13]

Good job Stephanie.

[jacopman]

excellent video with very acurate info on the development of Fender instruments.....

Well done!

[moonerstephanie]

thanks!

[inkey2]

I thought the Esquire only had ONE pick-up....they are showing 2-pick-up models

[bass0111]

There were a few 2-pickup Esquires in the very early days.

[legumes12]

@inkey2 Yup, esquires do only have one pickup, that pic is of a Tele.

[mattallica464]

@inkey2

I think they are using what pictures then can.

[KingzArmy]
