I agree wholeheartedly! Versatile, stable, reliable. I almost always have a Tele as primary or on standby, especially for summer outdoor gigs. I mainly play Strat style guitars with a little “float” in the bridge. But when heat and humidity changes make the Strats a little harder to tune quickly (often, a screwdriver comes into play instead of tuning each string individually) the fixed bridge of a Tele makes tuning a lot faster and easier!

Agree! My favourite sound in all the world is a tele in to a tweed princeton/deluxe, in to an outboard reverb (6g15 etc) in to an echoplex (ep3). Alnico speaker and one of those wonderful Catalinbread JFET pre-amps and you can do anything.

I read "10 Tele Tones You Should Know If You Own A Telecaster" and immediately thought "UGH, this is gonna be some generic knob twiddling nothingness." I listened and watched and could NOT have been more wrong. SUPERB. Thank you.

Very well done demonstration of the Tele's array of sounds. Thanks for posting.

This is great man. Versatile playing…really shows off the wide range of possibilities on a Tele!

Finally a comprehensive overview with all components in the chain. Thanks!

You´re the man - I love you get in so much detail which pedals to use - big help for a musician here, thank and awesome playing skills!

You nailed every one of those tones. Nice job!

Incredible content, very clear style, I like your tone. Please continue this series with Strats, LPs, but also with less commonly featured guitars

Wow...very impressive tone and style demonstration. The video was actually artful in itself. Very nice work indeed,tx.

man, I love your channel very much. I have a Squier Telecaster Classic Vibe 60s made in China, 3 tone sunburst with beautiful white binding. thru this episode, I can maximalize the use of my telecaster and find various tones. thanx mate, greeting from Indonesia 😀

Hey Michael. I really enjoyed this tone video. As a young guitarist I always found it hard to work out how to get the sounds I wanted to play. This makes it much easier. Also, I loved how you played 'misty'.

Great reviews! That strumming with your thumb at 2:20 just gave me chills.

Fantastic vid. Been looking for a vid this thorough for a while.

I'm a 90s kinda guy with my telecaster. I get most of that tone on the bridge pup through a Rat into a Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb. You are right on point with this.

Great job with tje video. I could never get on with my tele but you really showed how versatile they can be. The tele deluxe on the other hand, best thing I've had with humbuckers in.

I just got, about 2 weeks ago, the Squire Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde (made in China, not Indonesia) and I love this guitar. The feel, heft, playability, etc. are off the charts! Fender backing this branding has not only gives huge credence to the brand, they've given the consumer a ton of proof as to why they should. I was so amazed and pleased I went out and got a Squire Stratocaster! Both guitars have the logo in gold script and the type that they are (Strat, etc.) in large black letters, as you would see in the late '60's and early '70's models. Telecasters? A huge believer here!

You made my day when you started into Toejam and Earl for your funk demo, well done sir! I have a classic vibe Esquire that I initially modded to have no switch and 50s wiring, but eventually I put the switch back in when I installed a DiMarzio Chopper T in the bridge and wired it up for series/split/parallel options off the 3 way switch. It’s become such a fun guitar now that I basically get 3 great bridge pickup options off of one pickup. Series is like a mini humbucker sound, parallel is like a p90 and split take you back to classic tele bridge land. Anyways, great video. Loved it!

Proud Nashville Tele owner here, but I love all Telecasters. Great video!

Awesome stuff, a versatile guitar every guitarist should have. I appreciate other makers that improve upon the basic design with tummy and arm cuts, etc., but the original model is awesome as well. Loved your Radiohead tone as well, great playing. Tasteful use of the Mega Distortion which often doesn't sound great. Another possible omission of styles in this video is math rock, which makes great use of Teles in the middle pickup position running into a slightly overdriven amp (usually Vox or Fenders), often with a TS or other type of boost in front. Great stuff!

I love telecasters too. Interesant video. Excellent playing. Beautiful Mary Kay tele.

I never thought I'll see Boss MD-2 highlight ever again, sounds good with that last one.

That jazz part you played was beautiful

Amazing video! Very complex and very simple at the same time. Very useful too. You know how to use tele very well. Big thanks! May be you could do part 2? 10 strat or lespol tones played on telecaster or something like that. Keep going! Good luck!

Could not agree more

I have Les Paul's, SG's, Strats and Teles. So many people overlook the Telecaster, and that is a shame. They are very versatile, unique and easily moded to your individual performance tastes. If you want to get in cheap to test the waters, a classic vibe with some pickups of your choice will get you there. I own and have made my share. My go to is a Tele with a Seymour Duncan 59 in the neck and a Dimarzio Pre B-1 in the bridge, (reverse the leads on the bridge PU), this will give a sweet out of phase sound in the middle position. Balance out the pickup heights and you are good to go.

Very compelling video, thank you!

Thank you, I found this video very helpful, as someone with a Tele Custom (Squier Classic Vibe) that I’m still getting to know, as my main guitar. All 3 pickup options sound great but I want to have a better sense of their respective uses and potential.

I’ve been all about Ibanez since 1991. In 2018 I bought an affinity tele, then a modern player plus( china made w humbucker in bridge), and just recently a player plus with noiseless pickups. A telecaster does everything other guitars do( minus whammy bar) but also offers stable tuning, a mod platform, two pickups that offer a plethora of tones, and is so genre versatile. Steve vai has two teles, satch has played one on every record since he got that particular one. I even have a Schecter T style super tele with Floyd rose

Well done, man. Thanks
