You're right. It is the middle (thus, the "chimey" tone) and bridge for harmonics.

[beachhutblues]

im trying to see which pup hes playing on.

[boatvox]

The majority of the song is played on the neck pickup. Harmonics are on the bridge (you can see him switch over).

I was referring to my lack of talent when compared to Jim's...

I have more than a dozen tube amps, 5 of which are Fender, and two of those are Princetons, a blackface and a silver face reverb. So, I have that tone, in spades, actually it's my fingers that are inadequate, maybe I should throw rocks at them.

After watching this, I threw rocks at my teles, 'cause they don't sound like that.

Never heard of this guy. WOW what a talent!!!

[iamarocketshipmusic]

Saw him the other night at The Living Room. Sitting three feet away you just drift back and forth from sheer pleasure at the music to amazement that he can do these things on guitar. Mr. and Mrs. Mouse and Backburner were also standouts, but his acoustic rendition of Cannonball Rag was sweet, too. It was all great.

Just can't get enough of Jim Campilongo!

[metalcore929]

@nalbmalfoy I don't hear much improvising on this track...what are you even talking about?

[pellaifrompisa]

@javlib instead of breaking em, give one to me! ahaha

i have no bucks for buying even a transistor one, sorry the awful english, i'm italian ._.

[gotatele]

how many times in a row can i listen to this without getting bored, so far seems like a lot

[grandstef]

How comes that when I pick so close to the saddle, I never sound like that,? How comes he's got such a marvelous legato and not me? How comes that he's got such a gorgeous staccato and not me....Aw shit

[KEPHALLE]

i just can't help but feeling like in a Norman Rockwell painting everytime i hear Campilongo play his tellies. and i love it!

[Panleucopenia]

one of the last TELEmasters........

[ryanjurek]

The pickups that come with even the MIA Tele's are marginal at best. Try a set of Callaham's!
