BT Bob Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Ah yes - Roy Buchanan. For my money, THE finest exponent of the Telecaster. I'd argue that this was his finest hour (well, 6 minutes): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ9UPYrmfCM Or maybe this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8SOWoyDXdc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 My second electric guitar was one. It would have been in 72. I paid about £120 for it. A 62 Tele! If only I still had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I really don't prefer to play Telecasters, but I must say they are built far stronger than any Gibson I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 MOST excellent examples!! Love me some John 5 and Brad Paisley... arguably two of the fairly underrated axemen out there today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I finally got myself a Tele last month and only had a chance to play for no more than an hour. I'm planning on doing some recording with it this weekend, but I willing to wager that the ole honey-do list will be whipped out tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartanbeastie Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Special note on the Toy Dolls and Roy Buchanon... as I was not overly familiar with either one.... Thanks for sharing!!! How in the heck did I miss these guys?? I've been a fan of the toy dolls since the early 80's. seen as a comedy punk band they never got the recognition they deserved as musicians. A lot of their songs are tongue in cheek or have reference to british soap operas and life but they are still worth a listen to, particularly the instrumentals and punked up classical pieces. As for Brad paisley, so very under rated but a superb performer, singer and guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonkers Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 A couple more good reasons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17-oVrGoFtM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjrYLiIauQ8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Prince's solo in While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of the best in recent years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifp_SVrlurY Pete Townshend gives us a great history lesson along with a fine performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxZ77w9bnm8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Jeff Beck has something to say about Telecasters too. I like his 1-6 string technique. Something I've been doing a lot of lately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLSqyM2Z9TM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Ahh yes... Keith is also an under rated guitarist, imo. And who is that dear sweet boy in the bottom pic ;) Thanks Cali! I assumed Beck played a Strat! I guess we learn something everyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 And who is that dear sweet boy in the bottom pic ;) By the look on his face, I think he was about to write a song that begins in A minor. Just a hunch. Could be wrong. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 You could be right, of course! But then... it's been a long time since I rock and rolled.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
