Yakety Axe
Музыка
Chet Atkins was one of my early guitar heroes. When I started playing guitar at a young age, I used to really enjoy listening to my dad's Chet Atkins albums and would try to figure out how Chet played some of the things he did. One of those albums, "More of That Guitar Country", had a song called "Yakety Axe" that Chet adapted from Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax". I thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever heard and I remember spending hours trying to pick it out from the vinyl record a few notes at a time.

Thank you! The Tele is a MIM (Made In Mexico) that has DiMarzio pickups in the bridge and neck positions. I changed out the switch so that the middle position is both the neck and bridge pickups together like a regular Tele. The 2nd and 4th positions bring in the stock middle pickup for a kind of Strat tone.

My eyes keep drifting towards that Burgundy Les Paul with the gold humbucker's.
@georgetracyguitarist
4 ай бұрын
That is my 1975 Wine Red Les Paul Deluxe that I had routed out for full size humbuckers soon after I bought it new in 1976. The mini-humbuckers were replaced with an original (early 70's) DiMarzio Super Distortion pickup in the bridge position and an original DiMarzio PAF pickup in the neck position. It is a wonderful guitar-- still plays and sounds great (I used it on the intro to "Easter Song" on my channel for example). The guitar has many, many gigging miles on it but rarely leaves the house any more. I have several other guitars that are much more replaceable that I use for live playing these days.

Way to complicated for me 😂. I am a singer and acoustic guitar player. I am about to buy a Harley Benton tele, and I am beginning to use backing tracks for my one-man shows. Which electric amp would you buy if you were me? I play Country and old school rock (Elvis, Chuck Berry, Stones, Fogerty and Springsteen).

Probably something like a small Fender combo and some stomp boxes to get the sounds you need for both rhythm and leads would work well for the styles you mentioned. There are tons of reviews on KZread that can be helpful in making a decision on what to get.
I notice how he gets the same thing using a conventional guitar pick that Chet Atkins got using a thumb pick.
