Can You Play Metal on a Telecaster?? || Fender Player Series Telecaster Demo/Review - เพลง

Introducing "SLIDJENT" lol! The first distorted riff I actually wrote a while back, for the second "Riffs and Beards" competition, but Fluff didn't pick me and I've been holding onto the riff for a worthy guitar ever since 🙃 Honestly, it's probably my favorite thing that I've ever written for the channel. Big thanks to Patrick Hunter for providing the J00CY bass for this one, sub to his 🍑here: th-cam.com/users/MrFuzzGuy
good team
HunterXHunter 🤟
Countrycore. Finally😂
Sounds like something Maylene and the Sons of Disaster might make. That's a compliment.
If you've never heard of them, they're a band from my hometown of Birmingham, AL. Look up "Darkest of Kin" or really anything from their albums "II" or "III."
Yea that into track sounded good. Especially on a tele.
Slide metal wasn't something I knew I needed.
check out more human than human by white zombie
Bad Horsie Steve Vai
You can play metal on any guitar, it might not be the "standard" metal guitar sound, but it'll work and might add some variety to the quickly becoming stale metal scene.
Stale is a good word. Older/niche subgenres like grind, hardcore, and elements of nu metal are making their way back. It's strange; the timeline and original influences that they originally came From, that got these styles started, is a much different path compared to how we've found our back. Maybe the younger age group's, with less influence through the years, are coming to prominence now, in this Metal is almost mainstream market, by "going back to their roots." dropping out of this derivitive, soulless, overt produced mess is predicted in every generational shift. Then boom eventually innovation
Yeah, some just sound like a huge challenge to play metal on, like the Epiphone Les Paul SL.
Dude wtf that demo track was legit!!
Breaking News: Local Les Paul Man prepares to anger tele fans with metal tones.
The demo song was just straight 🔥🔥🔥
Just waiting for this to hit the Tele demographic lol
@@agufish I'm a massive tele guy and I mostly play death metal, doom metal, and post-hardcore. I'm always baffled why other tele players act like it's the ultimate heresy to put one through high gain, they sound tight and punchy as fugg
Suffy tele player here as well. It’ll always confuse me how some players try to pigeonhole telecasters when it’s a pretty versatile guitar. The bridge in particular is basically begging to be distorted
One name comes to mind - John 5. TeleMetal god. I also love the white on white.
Also duplantier of Gojira use a Tele
Did you just invent country djent?
I think Swamp metal is a better name!
Texas hippie coalition. You're welcome
Of course they can, even with stock single coils!
You might not get as high of output as with humbucker, but that Tele bite and snarl is killer for metal!
Seriously. Not enough people realize just how nasty single coils can be for metal. That 1.6~k spike that djent guys pile on their tone is practically built in to most single coils. P90s and Tele bridge pickups are KILLER for metal. Listen to Wintersuns first album. A good chunk of that album was recorded on a Tele, and you can hear it
these guitars are beasts , I have been using a Hohner Tele copy for 20+ years for metal (through 800's, 5150's various pedals includings Boneshaker, Grunge pedal, Stahlhammer, MXR superbadass, TRex Mudhoney, Bogner Ubderschall and many more) all with Tele's. The bridge pick ups are killer. I felt the same as Agusfish until I played mine (which I bought way back) and after falling in love with mine fell in love with the shape, now I'm Tele only and mostly singles
I was so excited for this video to come out because Hunter and I loved the mix!
I just had to get that bass nice and loud because Patrick’s bass tone was incredible!
Best demo song I’ve heard from you! I would buy that as a single.
I think it's the only one I've not skipped through... Nice.
You just made a new Genre
That intro may be my favorite one you’ve done. Really showed how versatile these Telecasters are.
This is probably my favourite track of yours! I flipping love it!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS CROSSOVER!!!
This is by far one of your best tunes on the show. It has amazing banging riffs, cool melody and dynamic.
Way to fucking go!
Thanks! This is actually my favorite one that I've written so far so I'm stoked you guys like it, too :)
I was getting a super beast vibe from this intro. Love the use of the slide.
That slide is so metal
Fantastic review. 100% getting one of these. Will be my first Fender as well!
I bought a mexican tele as my first "real" guitar back in 2014 and it remains my favorite guitar to this day. great for heavier punk and hardcore stuff, great for twinkly math and emo stuff, and super versatile for everything in between. mexican teles are the swiss army knife of guitars.
Got one two years ago and I have only played that. I bought an EVH standard thinking I’d like the humbucker tone better, but after a week of playing it, I went back to the tele. It’s just an amazing guitar
My new mexican tele 2018 lacks of clarity when overdriven comparing it to my epiphone les paul. Such a pity
Hey Hunter,
I've always been a metal guitar guy (currently have 2 mij ESPs and a Kiesel). Double hums and 3 way selectors with no coil splits. Back in the day I started on a sss Strat and always regretted trading it in though. Because of your video I tried out a player series tele and man it felt great! And specifically because of your video I Just ordered the exact same guitar. Love your content and thanks for the work you do!
Really good review, been thinking of getting one of these but wasn’t sure how it’d hold up playing some heavier stuff but you just proved it can 👍
great opening track, also I love that Tele! great video man!
I saw your JR tele review last year and you kinda convinced me to get one..Well i got the Squier version and put EMG's on it. I'm glad to see a T-body guitar on your channel. Thank you for all the great video you make. here is your mandatory like :)
Nice collab with Patrick! \m/
13 years playing guitar and just yesterday I bought my first tele, it's my first time with single coils and my first time with a squier or fender and I actually love it. It's the surf green bullet and for less than 200 bucks the thing sounds huge
Always a treat to see you break out the slide!
Great tune and great demo as usual!!
Thanks for the review Hunter!
Awesome video hunter & the song in the begining was great !!
This is the best song you’ve done yet man keep this shit up
I use a baja tele (soft v 50s neck, twisted tele pickups, 4 way switch) in drop B in my band and it sounds MASSIVE. It mixes really well and slices through a mix. Love it. Teles are so badass.
That’s amazing, at first I was looking at Charvel so cal style 2 but you convince me to save my money for the fender tele. Thank you
Honestly a tele is crazy versatile and that's why I love them. There's always models with a split coil humbucker if you're not feeling single coils. But they sound great either way.
Just got this Tele in this colour today, its amazing I love it
Channeling a little Maylene and the sons of Disaster with this tune. I love it brother. Keep it up.
I got a Tele Elite recently - bit of a battle to dial in high gain tones for it, but now that I've got it set, it sounds spectacular
Man, that distorted neck tone would be killer as a fill between riffs.
Also that bridge tone was equally great and just aggressive.
Been playing a tele at our local bar in drop D standard for years. Rock and a touch of metal.
Welcome to the club! My first guitar was a Made In Mexico Standard Telecaster and I’ve been hooked ever since. The Player Series is a perfect model for you. From what I understand the pickups are like Tele/P90 hybrids in terms of tone. They remind me a lot of the Seymour Duncan Hot for Tele set that live in my Standard. Plenty of chunk but still retains that classic Tele snap. I’m mostly a punk rock guy and the Telecaster was the best possible choice for my first guitar 10 years ago. Tele into a overdriven Marshall head is a beautiful thing.
Best vid to date. Laying down the Tele riffage! Nice.
I definitely have been craving a tele for a while.
About 14 years.
My ‘52 reissue American Vintage Tele is quite possibly my favourite guitar out of the 8 that I own. So good and versatile.
Hunter, I understand how you felt. I was a kid in the 80s. If ya liked harder rock no one played oldie guitars, stigma that lasted throughout the 90s.....bought my first tele in 2009, one of the most basic and literally best guitars for heavy music. I've had 4 since in different variations. I like yours alot and that cutting tone you got is friggin massive.
Just bought a Player Strat, one of the best guitars I've ever owned and by far the best guitar in its price range
Fell in love with the sound of my Squier tele when I got it. "Single coils can do metal!", "It sounds better than my Epiphone with EMGs!"... turned out I only liked the single coil sound with old strings. As soon as I put on new strings I hated the twang for weeks. So I installed a Dimarzio Chopper T in the bridge and that's it.
Great demo
awesome video. thanks!
Telecaster is my spirit guitar ❤ I didn't know until 10 to 15 years into playing tho. I always thought of country music, but it does so much more.
Omg this track demo was amazing!
Thanks dude, really liked working on this one!
The demo was sick dude!
That slide sweep harmonic thing was great!
Those pickups sound amazing w the high gain
Am i the only one hearing L'Enfant sauvage in this intro a lot?? great track btw, love it!
Glenn Fricker already did this but it's cool getting other guitar TH-camr's opinions
Oh! I also have a Player Series Tele HH! Those player series guitars are some of the best for the $$$$. I love it. I have a sonic red one and put a black pickguard on it and threw in some black winter pickups and wowza. I love that thing to death.
awsome riffs man
Beautiful guitar
The metal plate around the bridge pup and the taller height (vs a normal single coil) are why it sounds so good for rock riffage. Punk guys have been using them for ages but it hasn't caught on in other hard rock genres for some reason. A lot of people don't realize that a tele bridge pup is not a standard single coil.
This guitar looks so beautiful
I've been playing guitar for 20 years, and I've never thought of the Tele looking like a brontosaurus, but now I can't unsee that =| lol Damn you/bless you lol
✨ E N L I G H T E N E D ✨
Agufish lol #brontosaurusbuddha
I love everything from low gain Creedence to YOB and Sleep doom metal- and I always play a tele. Telecasters made me understand the importance of the tone knob. Once you start using it these guitars come to life!! A lot of vintage amps were pretty bright and I think the tone knob is the secret weapon to getting useful and pleasant tone out of these things. The bark of a tele bridge, there’s nothing like it!
Best for metal is no tone knob at all.
Holy shit, it actually sounds good af for metal. Especially with that little slide in there
It's only been in the last 6 months that I've started to be attracted to the Tele body style and have actually considered owning one. When it comes time to pull the trigger though I think I may spend the extra money and go with a Suhr. Stainless steel frets are a big selling point for me these days, not to mention they have top notch build quality.
Dat demo song tho...Hell yeah!
Tom Morello plays a bone stock MIM Tele in Rage Against the Machine, and John 5 plays one too. So yes, it can metal
RATM definitely not a metal band though.
Pure666 Metal no doubt, but you have to admit when we're talking about the tone and the guitar, I guarantee you could Play metal on his rig all day every day.
@@pure666metal9 they are absolutely a metal band.
It's an old US made Tele from the 80's
@@thechannelforeverything2170 tom's tele was a 90s mexican telecaster
Ok….. That intro song was bad-ass! 🤣🤘❤️
Clean middle position sounds so good
Joe Duplantier uses them on the gojira records in the studio. He is always posting pictures if them in the studio. And if Gojira use telecasters. You better believe its fucking metal.
Yeah, but he uses humbuckers. This video shows how a singlecoil tele performs with high gain
@@alfonspekala In the studio he's used single coil teles
He uses charnel as far as I know
@@fallen_angel1429 who do you think owns charvel. I’ll wait
@@alfonspekala he uses both on albums it seems. A good example would be the end of explosia, most definitely a tele single coil pickup in there .
I saw one of the guys in poison the well useing a telecaster. So yes it can. Great video, keep it up.
dajerk70 ehh poison isn’t metal at all
I feel ya there I have several of the more expensive guitars and purchased the Charvel Joe Duplantier Tele (the imported version) and I love that guitar, It plays great, is super comfortable and performs way better than it's price would indicate. I recommend you try that Tele and review it.
I got the exact same one. Going to get a black pick guard and a 4 way switch.
As has been mentioned. One of your better intro songs. 🤘
I was an LP guy for years, but now my go to guitars are a MIM Tele and a vintage 1976 Mustang. The Tele has a Duncan Custom Shop pickup, and the Mustang has Creamery Sonic 60s pickups. There's just something about single coils that I didn't appreciate when I was younger (still hate Strats thought).
Simone Mularoni from DGM is using a Tele and does some brutal Michael Romeo-esq riffing and shredding.
Granted,his Tele has humbuckers,but other then that,it´s a standard Tele.
Check out DGM`s live performance for "Trust" at the Prog Power USA Festival.
Hunter x Hunter 4 lyfe
Dude, your bass DI's are sick! Hunter sent them to me and I was like holy crap, I hardly need to do anything to it!
@@LukeDKramer Dude thank you so much man and thank you for making KILLER mixes as well!
Patrick Hunter No prob! The solid low end really helps
"I mean, look at those thumbnails! The guy has no shame!" *lol* I lost it! Great work, both of you guys! :D
Weeb)) so am i
Awesome! Ill think Ill go for the humbucker single thinline
That's one fabulous guitar.
I think this is your best song yet! Slide metal!
That middle position is really special
Lol love using that same Tele for hard rock.
Loved the demo. It reminded me a little of Copperhead Road by DevilDriver!
I wish Fender will send me a guitar as well😩 I visited GC many times and tried this Fender Tele Player, it is a great guitar, at first I thought single-coil might not give a powerful aggressive sound; nonetheless, it surprises me, I was using Boss Katana 50w Crunch with boost, and the sound just wow!! Nice video!
Awesome country tease before the metal kicks in :)
Reminds me of John5/White Zombie. Hell of a good job man!!!
I have the exact same experience with Tele as you do!
Not always a fan of your style, but that intro track is insane. Killer demo.
Nice!
I like the tele headstock,music man also!!!
One of the greatest MOD platforms in the world!
Joe Duplantier from Gojira said in an interview that he used to double his heavy metal guitar tracks using a Fender Telecaster ... I think it says it all ;-) !
chapman. try one .awesome Tele style models.I knew you would Rock that thing the other day when I seen it.lol awesome videos bro.keep up the work.love the demos.Thank you.
Love that bluesy lick jajaj, maybe you can make a tutorial teaching them
(If is not much to ask)
Love your videos man
Every kid who plays guitar thinks Tele's look dumb and sound lame. Then they get around 30 or older and suddenly have to have one.
I got a butterscotch one with the black pickguard and maple neck. Love it.
As a 28 year old about to purchase this guitar, and who previously criticised his friend's dad's red telecaster for looking boring and lifeless, I couldn't agree more and feel personally attacked.
Happened to me too. Bought an SX Butterscotch model in my late 20s to put on my wall. Over a decade late it still hasn't made it to the wall. It gets played too often and started an addiction. There's just something about that tele tone.
Wow you read my mind. I had a shitty strat I dumped it the second I got my hands on my Jackson kelly. Went on to own ltd’s Scheters and had a NT 7 at one point. After all these years .. I remember that shitty strat neck was SO damn comfortable... just ordered this exact model just in the black.. can’t wait .. and yes def getting old, looking forward to many years with my soon to be tele ! Keep rocking !
That’s an interesting take. I’m 19 and the Telecaster is my favorite body. I love the way it looks. I’m not sure what “kids” you’re hanging around.
My first tele was the Baja telecaster (if you can afford it buy it!) and I was never in love with telecasters my entire life. After buying one because I got a really great deal from sweetwater it’s become my number one guitar. I don’t know if it’s the simplicity of one volume and one tone knob or the crazy amount of sounds (the Baja Tele has 6 tonal options) I can get from 2 pickups but there’s just some kind of magic in that first solid body electric guitar. Leo did it right the first time
I like telecasters. Nice demo.
Especially for low tunings , drop is amazing.
I was thinking of getting one and getting a SD Hot Rails put in it!
I love the quack attack of Teles.
That riff man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comparing a Tele to a Brontosaurus just makes them infinitely cooler.
Tele Bridge pick up is natural pick up for metal, noise gate may be required (may not depends what you are using and how you are dialing it), but with a little tone control roll off on the guitar the natural eq of the Tele bridge pick up is basically the same curve you get in mdern metal pick ups just scaled down in volume/output and of course with more noise, and less compression (so you get clarity even with saturation, great for down/low tunings drop C, B, A or whatever)
