The Top 10 Tele Riffs of All Time!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
  • Where would music be without the humble Telecaster? Some would argue that the bare-bones, minimal moving-parts design is the most revolutionary and important musical instrument in popular culture of the last 70 years.
    As this list goes to show, there’s an awful lot that’s been done with it!
    We decided to turn our attention to the hardest list of all: having tackled the Les Paul and the Stratocaster, we wanted to try and hone in on what makes the Telecaster so iconic, in 10 top riffs! Spanning everywhere from the twang of 50s country, to the modern day, dual-guitar onslaught of the indie movement, with plenty of classic rock and blues in between.
    We also thought it’d be fun to pick out an individual guitar for each and every riff, so you can hear the fullest extent of what this incredible guitar platform is capable of - for such a simple design, the myriad of options available for a T-style really make it what it is.
    As is always the case, no Top 10 list would be complete without the intense debate of what should and shouldn’t have made the cut, so get commenting below with your personal picks, or whether you think we nailed it!

    First riff that came to my mind : "Green Onions" by Steve Cropper with Booker T. and the MGs (fortunately "Soul Man" was included).
    Then Joe Strummer's Tele on The Clash's "London Calling" and Syd Barrett Pink Floyd's "Astronomy Domine". And then The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite. And of course Roy Buchanan and Albert Collins.

    Wilko deserves a mention. 'She Does It right' may be what everyone thinks of, but there's so much more. Wilko worships Mick Green, and quite right too. Mick had the basics of 'Going Back Home', and with Wilko, fattened it out. Both Dr Feelgood and The Pirates recorded it.
