[BIgRon2176]

Teledoubters should go search for Ted Greene and listen up.

Three dislikes so far. Why? Jazz on a tele? Of course you can! Tele's are so damn Jazzy!

[WilburyVision]

Beautiful - what an ad for Tele's (and you!!)

[protocosm]

@WilburyVision Thanks. I have some other videos. Check them out. Acoustic and electric.

look, i'm not dogging your playing at all, you've got excellent skill, but this just doesn't sound right to me. I close my eyes and try my hardest to hear that warm soulful tone but it just sounds like a telecaster playing the same notes that a hollow-body with p-90s should be. I know it's just personal preference, but I do think there is a reason the vast majority of jazz guitarists use hollow-bodied arch tops.

[lgrabelo]

That was beautiful. Great playing.

I have no idea what I was trying to spell when I inadvertently typed "grove protocosm", I think it was groove progression, but at this point who knows. Very cool playing.

OMG:

I just realized it's the player not the instrument. You can play any style you want on a Telecaster, or Les Paul, or ESP, or Ibanez or or or.... certainly an instrument that is made specifically for a type of sound say a Gibson L-5 will be better at that specific style but Brent Mason could take an L-5 and chicken pick the heck out of it. Can you say Mel Travis...

Nice style, technique and grove protocosm - good work. And Nice Jazz Model Tele too.

Thanks

@RonVermillion ...are you american...?

@RonVermillion

It's true. Just so true,

My teacher is a soundman at a notable jazz bar in town, very conservative. Even he agrees. Your sound is 20% in your pickups, guitar, amp, etc. The rest is you.

[ov3rcl0cked]

@RonVermillion A good instrument definitely helps though. It just to polish off a good player is the way I see it. If you're searching for a faster neck, warmer tone, brighter tone, something more sleek, or maybe you want another string.

It is the player not the instrument, but still the instrument is important. I mean different series of guitars are aimed for different sounds and playing styles.

Thing is theres telecasters are generally good guitars, they can play any genre well.

[AviatorAndyK]

where did you get the backing track?

[EmphaticItalic]

Such a beautiful song

[HiJohnHar]

[vanderbilly]

Nice feel, cool guitar too

[fabriziospc]

i really guitar jazz?

[fretfirestarter]

love the sound,nice touch

[lightnin1]

Wow, that is great sounding! I've been getting into Jazz lately and thought I needed a Gibson for Jazz tone, I guess not! What kind of Tele and pickups are you using?

[protocosm]

It's a customshop '63 relic with the fender pick-ups it came with.

[mso872]

@lightnin1 Absolutely not, it's not a specific brand you need to get a great jazz tone. My schecter c-1 classic sounds great in the neck position for warm jazz tones, all the big guys make jazz model guitars (fender, gibson, schecter, ibanez, etc). Good luck, and nice playing proto

[frankypuente]

your tele sounds real jazzed, what are you playing though?

What settings are you using on your amp?

Are you using a peadl?

[protocosm]

Thanks. I'm using the Fuchs Clean Machine Amp. Normaly I use the Xotic RC Booster or the Blackstone overdrive set a;most clean. Can't remember which I used here.

[AlexGuitar1987]

I really like this 5* You play very good mate! keep it up
