Guitar Blues solo on a Fender Telecaster

[BelloBudo007]

I enjoyed that! And from your body language you're having fun too. In my opinion that's what it's all about.

[jcbak]

You don't look like a bitchin' guitarist......but you sure are one...... Great job!

[FFc9909Q]

Great playing! Is this Deluxe Tele?

[antigrav118]

i wish i had $1400 to toss out for a guitar. Looks absolutely awesome. Nice playing also

[acdcruleurmom]

thats slow .... :D

[Colin2720]

I was really upset to see that ended at 45 seconds...

[peprice3]

nice job

[tellycastin]

Teles are great for the blues, great for anything.

*Check my Tele demo.

[thierrydomaine]

un vrai bluesman ! excellent

[jimmyleppard6]

I always say that the blues is the best genre of music. If there weren't for blues, there would be no rock, metal or punk. yeaaa. Long live blues.

[hiphopsucks96]

@jimmyleppard6 There wouldn't be any jazz either. That's why I think jazz is the best. There's always blues and latin influences in jazz. but I see where ur coming from. I don't want an argument. I still like blues better!

[jimmyleppard6]

@hiphopsucks96 right on. jazz is also good, dude. there's a lot of blues influence.

[tullkass14]

Viva la Tele  !!

[BOTFA111]

as good as a tele sounds for blues it`s equally good for anything. i play in a heavy indie/alternative/art rock-band and the baby nails every tone i want.

[TheRelixTV]

Hey check out my band The Relix rockin' out on a 1996 american Tele!

[Centaury666]

Banjo shit ahaha nice

[CoachG1000]

yep...you killed it dude.nice

[SlashMoore]

hey man is your tele hollow body??cause it seems like it

or it's just the finish that seems like it's an hollow guitar?

[09kitty23]

@SlashMoore dude.. i think this is no hollowbody, judging from the specs that we can see i think this is an american deluxe tele

[satjathamma]

can't play blues on the bridge pickup! sounds awful!

[ebouwman034]

@satjathamma Ya it did sound pretty thin...

[kalimoncho51]

what kind of wood is on the neck ?

[thelewd1]

@kalimoncho51 Maple.

[Shnuff3]

@kalimoncho51

maple

[tellycastin]

Great playing.

[metalpunk654]

Hint of Santana?

[longlivesurfrock]

dont be afraid to turn the volume up! :)

[boomblad1]

sick improv, wish i could play like that

[uncleslash777]

great playing man!! beautiful guitar

[cjoey39]

Nice jamming man! Always love the "Tele" sound but it's you that's making that bad boy sing! Nice job!!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

[colosalblack]

That's some nice twanging! Keep it up!

[mercurybiatch]

nice skills, keep rocking!

[TheSchoolsux345]

awesome tele what kind is it? i looooove the binding

[sushiboi66]

impresionant technique

[Foxhaund]

Thrill is gone?

[bsharporbflat]

Love your guitar man, i own a standard Tele..best buy I ever did for under 500$.........I"d love to have one like yours though.one day

[ArtDonna84]

Very nice very very nice

[nolobede]

Tele was made for the blues.

[retroguy02]

@nolobede its a very versatile guitar actually but yes there's no better guitar for blues

[alejandro8888]

@nolobede true say! but tele wasnt made..it was born..

[nolobede]

@alejandro8888

I yield to your statement as truth... as it is that with a soul which is born.

[CubeableGame]

@nolobede Tele was made especially for Texas Blues!

Yeah!

[ImaDjentleman]

@nolobede you sure? cuz mines fuckin brutalll

[voodoochild2121]

i have that same guitar! it's awesome

[jahajaj]

Really nice, but why so short?

[MrFalkets]

how long you been playing?

[hcreval]

nice sound tele

[cameraman5449]

Why cause all you can play is like an Ibanez with a ton of distortion?

[arcainjust]

@cameraman5449 nothing wrong with playing an Ibanaz with a ton of distortion...however everything is wrong with not appreciating the awesomeness this guy is doing :) peace champ

[david85251]

Pretty Tele. I like the edge banding. Sounds a little thin, though. So does mine. It's in the shop now, getting some upgrades. Nice blues, man.

[gamble7man]

soft and melodic. awesome

[merijnvoogd]

clapton style... sweet  ^^

[guerilla124124]

awesome

[ilovechugs]

i can hear him fine...

[Jimbowholivesinsoup]

And the Japan 62' reissue telecasters have them too.

Binding looks great!

[ozarka110]

telecasters are wmd's

[geeyouknit345]

yes i like the 60s ock blues thing this is the first blues ive seen on u tube all the rest is like beach music called "blues"

[iamblackmo]

5/5

I like it.

Invest in some inexpensive recording gear! I could barley hear you.

[soriacafe]

eso es disfrutar la musica ¡¡¡

genial amigo

[Lukeyboi14]

turn up the guitars volume a bit

[AlexCowan2]

I haven't seen a Tele with white binding like that before - and I like it. Not to mention the brilliant guitarist behind it XD

[fendergolden1]

Yes, you can find white binding on the American deluxe tele and probably other teles that is one of the things that attracted me to the American Deluxe tele bought on a year ago amazing guitar.

[haywoodjabuzzoff]

I would really like to hear the guitar louder and maybe with a better tone from the amp, there was some nice phrasing amongst that, especially when he got wound up, but found it a bit hard to hear.

[stratdude83]

they need to have a big youtube blues jam with all these guys that post vids like this...to bad that concert would be like 20 hours long lol

[SSwadis]

Very nice!

[miller434]

dude, sounded really good, keep em coming

[lighteningboy]

Sweet, this is very nice! Is that an American Deluxe Tele?

[Marcuspianoguitar]

It aint blues, its reds.

[Behemoth2334]

Fail....

[clearair]

it's so easy to type fail isn't it .. you don't even have to have an opinion

[Behemoth2334]

Damn straight.

[KissGamer]

Good playing, but don't sounds like blues to me.

[Seebbew]

if this isnt blues, what is it then? :]

[Presentboy]

not blues lolols? Do you even know what blues sounds like?

[BrunoSwavaholi]

do you?

[guvenile007]

Sounds like the backing to "The Thrill is Gone" by B.B. King...

His lead sounds good... definately blues.

[saulotopgv]

rapazz so na Penta de Bm

[Keijz74]

Good playing and your Telecaster sounds Way Cool ;o)#

[osito2]

Are teles good for rock or alternative solos?

[tonno80]

yes

[jornoasis]

yeah man their awsome check out my video morlich blues teles are very very versitile for tones

[mattchurchill2]

Nice playing man! Love the tone.

[HGS9669]

I want a telecaster.

[Cakezeep]

Me tooooo!

[EatTheSun]

you're right, the sound quality isnt all that great, but thats exactly how the blues should be heard. youve got a sweet guitar and i really dig the way you play

[mattchurchill2]

Great vid! Great guitar playing.

[LovemyTele]

i've got the same tele but its a cherry burst. play through a super reverb amp. s-1 switching is pretty sweet. fattens the sound up to a hummbucker like tone.

[nudeltortenbaecker]

Yeah, amazing phrasing......!

[YellowsTail]

his phrasing is incredible

[lindenhu]

Yes. Fender Tele, such fine tone.

[Zephyr9810]

great playing

[packofwolves93]

all i have to say is HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

[Detman101]

Wooooooooooooow....dude!!

You play with a fury and so accurate too!!

Dm

[mikekatoumas]

please tell me what fender tele is this ...

[mollyflogin]

looks like an american deluxe with the s1 switch and noiseless pups

[Nirrk]

good job ,great sound

[sebluthiers]

Very good job.

[bigfoddaddy]

The thrill if far from gone! I dig it!

[1911manbdarby]

Fender for life.

[mustangcobain65]

Hell Yeah!!

[sk8r4life911]

cort n esp for llife! but i also hav a fender

[Ro11out24]

how many years does it take to play something like this??

I'm not saying it takes the same time for everyone but average..how many years?

[mojo91pin]

your tele is such a beauty

[Hexenschuss007]

it's not hard, but you're doing great.

[zkenzo]

I know. All I'm saying to those who badmouth the MIM Tele, is that they are not that far off from the American label. The difference in price does not reflect the difference in quality, & sound.

[Vicok2]

Superb sound and playing skills :)

[Accou25]

Soulfull ! U got the control on it.

[d00derson]

Boring, generic. Ugh. This kind of shit makes me want to destroy my guitar, just because of the thought that such lame shit can be played on it. This isn't blues. This is bleeding foreskin.

[TonysTele]

Sounds great, but try that on a strat and the sound gets even better. I have both tele for that poppy country, strat for blues rock and jazz. Leo Fender, my hat is off to you.

[destihado1]

Are you sure strats are better than teles for blues? I want to buy a Tele highway 1 but i wont to play blues mostly and om not sure, strats or teles?

[wtficantgetanamewtf]

if you want to play blues go for a strat if not go for the tele

[TonysTele]

I myself think the strat has better tone for blues, where the tele has that country twang sound. I think if you try a both out at a guitar store you will find the guitar that fits your playing, but, I do recommend Fender either way. I prefer the american models. And hey, you can allways buy the other one later!.

[destihado1]

Im not so sure, i mean, strats are obviousely the favourite instrument for the blues out of the two, but the Tele has tha magnificent neck pickup which can produce some really creamy sounds. Plus the Teles have the unique soun in the middle position which the strats cannot touch.

[TonysTele]

Go with the one your ear and you fingers like, I am sure that will be the one for you!.

[destihado1]

Ok, thnx for the assistance!

[TonysTele]

You bet

[knobstick]

And that ol' slab body just plain FITS! I found the Strat body contouring felt odd, I like to feel the guitar being there. I like the way the Tele controls are nice & out of the way, too. The volume control has a capacitor wired across it, that's what gives the Steve Cropper 'chink' as you turn it down, I took out the tone pot & put in a 4 position rotary switch with different capacitors wired to the volume (none, regular & two bigger values) so I can get different tones by which I select. .

[fishman2003]

sounds great. Playing with that white background with a table in front of you made me think you were playing in a police interogation room...playing for bail maybe?

[jtonessimo]

blues improvisation = pentatonic bullshit

modes are your best friend

[dlowrie290]

Just because you don't like a style doesn't mean its "bullshit". Its only bullshit to you and the people that do like it shouldn't be subjected to ridicule because of it. Remeber, opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one and they all stink.

[jtonessimo]

style?

no i love blues guitar playing when the player is actually utilizing scales and good technique

not pentatonic noodling that 12 year olds learn how to do...

[amlahguitar]

Let me just stick with commenting you're video instead of joining the nice little american / mexican discussion that's going on down here. Great blues improvisation, love the tone and feeling you got going there. Nice tele by the way.

[Dartmanman]

iamskirvy just owned everybody

[iamskirvy]

I have this exact guitar :)

Its a Fender American Deluxe Tele for those wondering.

[iamskirvy]

Is that right you cunt?

how about you look at the post under mine or are you fucking retarded?

Yeah fucker? You see that? He asked what kind of fucking telecaster it is CUNT.

[dough654]

gottem

[mustangcobain65]

I don't know how fucking stupid you can get. I mean theres idiots out there but you have to be the dumbest mother fucker I have ever seen on Youtube.

[MustangMarck]

Actually, I know it's hard to believe but there are idiots out there who are at least TWICE as dumb as that idiot. Scary thought huh...

[azaroso11]

Shut the fuck up

[mustangcobain65]

Why because you know im right?

[Stra2casterAtHotmail]

should of went with a mexican instead. Sounds better and is half the price retard.

[iamskirvy]

If you think Mexican sounds better than American, you must have somme kind of hearing deficiency ' retard'.

[jeepneyproduction]

lol american made guitars are ALWAYS better than the mexican. nothing personal.

opinion from experience

[guitarbum37]

I'm a biggg Mexican build fan... I can't afford the American made stuff so to have something cheap but reasonably good sounding is alright with me.

[zkenzo]

I have both the American Std. 2008, & 1999 MIM. IMHO,The Mexi. has a fuller sound--the std is more twangy,both w/ stock pickups.. I prefer the neck on the MIM, probably because I've played it longer. All personal preferences,tho.

[iamskirvy]

Yeah, but this is the American DELUXE, not standard.

[dylanyoung22]

haha you just said you had an std haha

[Metalkiller123]

what telecaster is this?

[KippeTokkeTokHaan]

this makes me want to buy a telecaster. I start saving now.

[Stbastard1992]

woooow what kinda telecaster is that :O i've been searching my ass off for that guitar ! i love it!

[cartoonboy8]

i give it a 8/10

[Octopusbeak]

Nice! Quick and clean... An inquiry to EVERYONE who plays music on youtube though:

Why tape track? Anyone who can solo can do at least a simple rhythm... And most anyone who can youtube can record multiple sound tracks! This is one of the better rhythm tracks, but it still takes the soul from it. Just take a little time and lay down that rhythm... I've done it with a guitar pick tapping along with a stapler noise... It sounds so much nicer!

[lighteningboy]

I checked your channel for some home made backing tracks and found none.

[Buckdrummer]

Nice playing, sweet guitar. 8\10.

[martianluther]

Nice Likz man! Tele love is on the net.

Albert King anyone?

[SDMF21]

Albert King, who spent the majority of his career with a Flying V?

I do love my tele though. Great playing!

[martianluther]

I was referring to the song and solo style.. i'll play the blues for you-ish

[SDMF21]

Gotcha! Fair enough.

[LesKrap]

nice*****

[GoVegi]

Man i love telecasters, got the american standard and the american vintage and i must say, i prefer the standard. Beautiful guitars

[martianluther]

Love Teles! I have a butterscotch blonde 52 reissue and recently copped a limited edition custom shope deluxe relic. I'm not really into the relic thing but this guitar is 5.5 lbs and it's smokin on feel and tone. Love Tele's man.

[shitstainedb4lls]

is it atall possible that a fender telecaster can be made so that a scratch plate cannot be bought and put on??

[RYANN36]

the only tele without a pickguard (scratch plate)I know is a Fender aerodine

[shitstainedb4lls]

so if i jst baught some random red telecaster n it didnt have a scratch plate on it. the chances are i can buy one for it?

[RYANN36]

if there are holes for a scratch plate on them you can or else go to a store and ask if they could put one on your tele, I wouldn't do it myself because you could damage your body

[shitstainedb4lls]

hmmmm. thanks

[Rocket1771]

They used to Sell Fender Flathead Telecasters, But they were made for Metal, with EMG 81/60 pickups. Jim Root from Slipknot had a few

[mightybright1]

Nice vibe - I am on the hunt for the same guitar. My current You Tube videos shows off 3 different strats and 2 ES 345s; I lack the Tele.

[yaapi002]

whate kind of tele is that

[marcelodomar]

why did you stop, man? go ahead! nice job!

[ianaj89]
