That was one of the most monster sounds I've ever heard from a Tele. VERY impressive.

Well, your tele sounds rad for one obvious reason - the guitar faces you make when you play - they cannot produce any weak or thin stuff - ever, best stuff Joey!

Just got my first Telecaster after 40 years of playing. Kicking myself for not getting one sooner. The combination of versatility, tone and simplicity doesn't come with any other guitar. My only gripe about it is that it's not the most comfy guitar. But it's still more comfy than a LP or 335. The clarity/beef combination of the bridge pickup was something I'd never really experienced before, either. It's amazing. Regarding light strings...I had 9's on my Tele for a while as an experiment and it actually messed up my hand and I immediately went back to the 10s that I'm used to. 9's are all fine and good if you never play clean and have a light touch, but I don't like them. I need some punch in my clean sound and I want strings that respond when I hit them hard. I can get better action with 10's too. That's how I messed up my hand, I couldn't get the action comfortable with 9's. Lighter strings require higher action and more neck bow.

Jimi Hendrix's first studio album came blasting out with Purple Haze, played on a Telecaster. It doesn't get any more massive than that!!!

2:22 you are just killing us with these faces, man! Solid playing!

Hey, Joey! You're one of the best out there! You're playing is on another level! Great tips, too!

Thank you 🙏🏻

I have no clue about technical stuff but I love your sense of melody

Merci bien Joey ! Depuis le temps que j’attendais ça 😅 J’adore ton jeux et t’as façon de produire en MAO 🤘🏻👌🏻

Very best tone!!! The two songs in this video are very good. I search the tab in your shop.

How you found this tone is just incredible. It sounds heavy and clear at the same time. It's massive.

What playing, what sound! Thx Joey!

Thank you for showing us this. I just began playing guitar in 2020... but I use a Spark 40 modeling amp or the Zoom MRS 8 for all of my effects. So all this info is very interesting and new to me. It sounds awesome!!!

Hey Joey im so glad I’ve found your channel. Love your Playstyle and Agility….you deserved definitely more subs 🎉 Exited to listen to your new Single tomorrow. ❤️

Welcome aboard!

Just wait until Bruce Springsteen stumbles across this video.

Great tips dude! I myself play a Telecaster and heavy music with my band. I have a Marshall Silber Jubilee which is a darker sounding amplifier and the combination of those two is twangy yet thick as hell! Keep up the Tely love 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Great suggestion re parallel compression! So easy to do on my Helix.

Killer demo, playing and tone!

Been using a Telecaster with a few of my fuzz pedals and an Orange amp with similar results. Great to see it put so well in this video. And yeah, nines are where it's at. I'm thinking about putting some on my Les Paul as well, just to make life easier for myself.

Nice video mate! Rather timely for me as I am just getting started with Telecasters and my single coil fling since I got a LP Jr with a P90 and then I knew I had to have a Tele. (even though I still have a baritone that I am trying figure out too.) So I just got the tele last week and I am definitely shopping around for sounds to make with it. It's a glass cannon and I love the jangle and I just don't like to turn it into mud with pedals. I've had fair results, but nothing over the top. The parallel distortion hit home. I have a few fuzz box/distortion pedals, but not with a clean mix channel. So thanks for that one especially. Good playing too btw. Comfortable fun. :)

Killer tone as always.

Jeez man that is just awesome .. you rock ! Thanks for the tips .. incredible player !

Wow! Nice tones.

Amazing video 👌 will definitely try these tips…. Which sets of pickups are best for telecaster. I have affinity series of tele and thinking to upgrade pickups

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Joey ❤😊

Wow. Great tone and playing. Thanks for the tips. I will try these out - certainly 1 & 2. I have a Quad Cortex, so will look for the darker sounding amps… and for the parallel distortion, I assume I can create a side chain with the Distortion on it… thanks.

yup, you can! ;) have fun experimenting!

I have long been a superstrat player ... so bridge humbuckers all the way. Well a few months ago I stumbled across a great deal on a thinline tele with a standard single coil tele bridge and a PAF in the neck and since I'm a cheap MFer I bought it and it's quickly become my favorite axe and I've noticed much of what you've pointed out here. Other than a little 60 cycle hum (which you don't notice the instant the pick hits the strings) it still rocks. And I've noticed that I get a hair more treble cutting through the mix than with the high output HBs I'm used to (makes me think that a pair of P90s would make this rig rock even harder ... makes me think P90s have been ignored for too long, but I digress). The nice advantage of a thinline tele is its also fun to play out on the couch in the living room sans amp (but I'm not gigging with the thing so feedback is a non-issue).

agree!

I have to say, I hate the twang of a Stratocaster! But the way you play and setup the tone on that Tele, woah, sounds amazing! And I'm a huge Les Paul double humbucker sounding fan. You have changed my mind now! This is my favorite guitar sound and tone ever! And dude, your playing is pure soul food! As technical as you probably could be, you play with pure feel and a great ear! Love your stuff man. Hopefully, you release a bunch of tracks soon and for ever! Wanna hear more!

Wow so awesome 🤩 perfect sound

Sounds awesome!

I've heard some recordings do this and didnt know what was going on. So, cheers

OMG. It's finally the best video about this subjet around youtube. Really man. Thx! One question : I'll gonna take one tele to play metal in drop B tunning. The Baritone telecaster seem to be one good choise, notably to put thin string. What do you think about that ?

Cool tips, cool riff, Joey! Compressor with tube screamer works well with singles as well. Teach me how to do the solo runs like 0:50 or 2:30 or 10:10

100% correct. 👍 For me a Tele is my favourite guitar into the Kemper. Btw, fantastic guitarist, love listening to Joey. 👋👍

Hi @Joey! Great video. My new tele is on the way. I wanted to ask whether you can provide any further details on how to set up the moonshine v2 with a tubescreamer (or any darker sound pedal) - how would you connect them to make such sound? Wanna experiment and find my own sound, but this is an amazing starting point! Cheers!

Great sounds. Very impressed. Can i ask what tuning youre at?

Super cool vidéo ! Super bon jeu 😮✨️

You can put like a Xotic EP boost in front it thickens your sound also.

Absolutely!

Great tips. I never heard about the parallel pedals before. I think a good analogic distortion pedal will work well as well. I have the Fire Ultimate Distortion that sounds KILLER with single coils. A cheap pedal. Unlike the Fire pedal, the Boss DS-2 don't sounds great with my tele, because the clean signal is just killed by the pedal.

Great Sound! The bigger Problem is fighting the feedback. Not in a Studio but in a rehearsal room or on stage.

I play a the J Mascis Tele primarily, if you can play it, you are really good. Love it.

sounds amazing. what’s the base tone kemper profile??

Rockin brother very impressed

Amazing tone i would love to see you do the same with a strat

great video and playing, so I imagine you are using the "AMP" from your Kemper, so which Amps are you using in this video? thanks all make sense, I thought you were using a clone

Tele + TS pedal + Mesa Rectifier (raw or vintage mode) - surprisely great tone, in my opinion

Jeff Beck could always make a Tele sound extremely heavy not just distorted but "clean" as well. The Guitar shop album has some great rocking tele (and strat tones).

I have the previous version of moonshine and it doesn’t have clean knob. Would it be like the new one with the clean knob all the way down?

what exact tele is that! great video! just discovered u!!!

Well, you can certainly play! Good tips.

Holy c*ap, Mr. Jones, awesome.

10-46, Klon type or Rat type, and an EVH amp sim. Never occured to me that this were good combinations.

Klons have a much bigger amount of gain on tap than most people realize

Hey can you suggest such pedals with a clean knob? Is there a name to such pedals?? Thanks

Hello Joey, could you please recommend me some cool amp for bedroom practice (preferably with headphone out) to get at least close to your tele tone? I know you mentioned the original silver jubilee but that is too loud. Cheers and thank you for your content! :)

Not saying your tone isn’t distorted, but your “super heavy” demos seem to have a bass track running behind them. I almost subbed.

Dimarzio Super Distortion tele humbucker that fits in the stock single coil hole..... add a 5150/6505, ts9, and drop D...done!

Wooowww! You made me a Tele addict!

Yeah, light strings are the way to go for a heavy single coil sound. Tony Iommi used 'em in Sabbath!👍

Hello Joey,. what profile do you use on your Kemper? 🙂

Wich String gauge do you User for the tele ?

Massive intro jam

Really interesting

Does it work for a right handed Tele as well?

Talking of darker sounding, i just got my first set of flat wound strings and it has been a revelation 👍 10-48 in c#

Why am I even wanting a metal guitar for? This is tops

Shit man, huge tone! New sub here

9:52 what song is this? That’s one hell of a riff

Bro your vibrato is among the Best. Can I ask you how you do your vibrato? And what string gauges you use? Do you have instructional videos on your vibrato? Please let me know! THANKS!

Teles are killer guitars Better than strats really

i tune my guitars to d standard. 10s on my eclectic and 11s on my acoustics.

Your tele has a Twisted Tele neck pickup. It's hotter than the average. Your Tele has the same pickup combination as the Vintera '50s Modified and the Baha Tele.

Hi Joey, downtuned to b with 9s? 😮

@joeyjooones

5 ай бұрын

10s in that specific case. But yeah, why not. 😁

Another recommnendation: Buy left-handed tele. It has more massive tone than the right-handed tele. Just kidding. Great video!!! I will try your recommendation on my tele with my Helix floor.

So basically a wet/dry mix option on a pedal, yes?

I play a tele into a Vox ac15 I don’t think I can sound heavy even if I wanted to lol.

Any guitar can sound heavy. Just crank the dirt and ask your bass player to double everything you play.

Joey, please point me to your incredible vibrato technique and any videos you where you discuss this? THANKS! Ps. I would like to learn from you how to do vibrato! I am confident you are among the BEST and I can learn from you.

Why don’t you do some lessons bro or tell me artists likewise you r awesome
