Well, which is it? Strat, Tele or LP?
My first guitar was a used Fender Starcaster for $170. It's beat up, it's far from perfect, it's mine. Nothing will separate me from it. And actually, it still sounds decent.
I probably prefer the strat for its looks and playability, but in terms of status, I think LP is the king, the tele sounds unique to me cause I don’t own one)
LP all the way
can't decide
Les Paul
Les paul/tele: we’re the best
Strat: whammy bar
basically
@@danielcrane3353 I don’t even have my whammy on my strat lmao
Tremolo
@@heaton6971 shhhhh
It’s so true I want to get a tele but I really want a whammy bar
Someone should just make a TeleSratoPaul model... hollowbody variant too.
Les paul body and controls, telecaster pickups, stratocaster bridge.
🤮
I actually built one not too long ago, strat body, tele neck with les Paul burst bucker pickups, 2 volume, 2 tone knobs with a les Paul style switch
@@mericmussett8509 I think that's almost perfect.
Strat body, les Paul pickups (with 1 strat pickup), with the Tele tail piece, 3 pickups, S,H,H (or SP90P90), les Paul controls and headstock
PRS bro
Look it up
I use a strat for a few reasons
1.) It was my first electric
2.) I think it looks the best
3.) It just *_~melts~_* into my body when i play
i may be 6 months late but i agree with all of these
And they have some variation to sound with the 5 p switch.
I started on a lower end single cut. When I saved up enough money I wanted a Gibson les Paul. But, I decided I should play a lot of different guitars since it’s a lot of money. Anyways I left with a Strat.
same i think a strat is actually an amazing guitar for metal because the single coil brings clarity to a distorted lead tone and makes for great guitar sounds
I barely ever need to tune my good ol’ Strat at all! The LP, on the other hand.... Bah.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who even after watching this has no clue which one they like more because they’re all so amazing
Honestly they all sound amazing; it’s like trying to pick a favorite child.
Especially with Tyler’s awesome playing!
i love reading comments, and comments like yours is why.
Is that because you know there is one but don’t want to diss the others?
Wrong
man theres not a better sound than an overdriven telecaster. for lack of a better word it's utterly gorgeous
strats the best for me (of the 3)
but i prefer 24 fret floyd roses
Yeah, i got a tele and it's amazing. The bridge pickup i only use for country and sometimes funk, but the pure warmht of an overdriven tele on neck pickup. Beautiful!
Led zeppelin 1. nuff said
I enjoy eating cheese.
For me, its the warm woody sound of the Les paul. I'm not a single coil guy
It's really hard to decide between these three. They all have iconic tones and history but I'd say the telecaster is the most versatile and reliable of the three, and that bridge pickup with overdrive is pure single coil magic
i replaced the strat bridge pup with one that is like a tele pup.
SG is the best of these lmao
buy 3 guitar, problem solved bro. haha
@@seek_and_destroy_ttt-ttt-40 good luck with your neck dive
I think the Telecaster is great for blues and hard rock like Led Zeppelin for example. When I play Heartbreaker on it I feel like Jimmy Page. The Telecaster’s sound is exactly what I am looking for to recreate Led Zeppelin songs. I would highly recommend
I never thought the Tele would sound so great.
It honestly sounds the best here no doubt.
I have a 1972 Tele and its so versatile, really a great guitar.
I love the tele
It's definitely becoming my favorite sound. It's nicely balanced where the Les Paul can be too warm and understimulating and the Strat can be too bright and harsh for me. Past that there's a particular aesthetic that I'm not sure I could explain past "sounds like home" and pointing to Polkadot Stingray and some Blues.
Agree!!
To my ears the Les Paul and Tele have their very clear distictive note (clean) to them, more like character to them. But that Tele.....that unmistakeable twang is what really attracts me to it.
Eugene Martone defeated Jack Butler with a Telecaster
then did the nasty with Frances!
He cheated. He used Willie Brown's mojo.
Charles Dyer and it was all the magic he had left!
Only because he went to Juliard, “Julie who” , to study classical. You need all three guitars, in my opinion. Each has it’s purpose. Nice reference to a greatly overlooked movie though. Rye Cooder , Steve Vai soundtrack. Plus a truly entertaining movie!!
Muddy Waters invented electricity!
2:27 That Tele REALLY surprised me. Holy crap! That was the best sound on this video period.
Is he playing a specific song or did he just make it up hinself
I one-hundred percent agree! Absolutely sick sounding bridge pickup!
That actually made my jaw drop
I was torn between getting a standard tele and a telecaster deluxe but I think that alone was enough to prove to me that the single coil bridge pickup on a standard telecaster can SCREAM
It's easily the hottest sound for cutting through a mix
I'm in love with a mix of the Tele and the Les Paul. Those two can balance each other out so well.
Check for p90 guitars
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repentt for the kingdom of heaven is at handddd
@@jesuslovesyou2616I’m a proud sinner and there is nothing you can do about it 😈
I be repenting to my vape and my premarital sex🥺
@@TweakedGaragesin isn’t something you should be proud of. Would you be proud if you got someone in trouble over a lie? Would be proud if you cheated on your partner? You probably wouldn’t because God gave us conscience, which is why we know when things are things are right or wrong.
God is not real. And if he was , he was he would despise you for your self indulgence to leave such a self righteous and indulgent comment
thank you for this....on a side note, love your studio and the look of your room....looks warm, inviting and purposeful!
Tyler: “Obviously, the Telecaster is built for country music.”
John 5: “dafuq…hold my beer”
You can play anything on a Tele lol. It is very expressive with country and chicken picking but it can rock, metal, Jazz and play the blues very well also.
@@michaelheller8841 agree 1000% tele’s are beautiful in every way
To be fair, J5 does play a lot of country music on his telecaster. Dude is a chicken pickin machine.
@@danjohnson121 fuck yeah he does! He picked one up and wanted a tele because of Buck Owens from Hehaw
Jim Root, also lol
No winner! Having all three is a MUST...
In two different colors
And you need 2 Les Pauls, one with P90’s!
I own a Strat, Les Paul will be my next guitar. Won't be buying a Tele, they just aren't attractive to me.
@@ces69 you also need a Les Paul Jr...just sayin ;)
@@davidwhite206 I have all 3. I've had a 1976 tele for decades but hate it! Just recently I got my first American made Fender strat and last week my new Gibson Les Paul came in. I love both the strat and LP but I find myself playing the LP more. Phenomenal guitar!
Bro you are TALENTED how comfortable you are switching up genres like that. And dope collection btw
“Strat vs Tele vs Les Paul“
SG: You underestimate my power!
Les Paul Special: I eat SGs for Breakfast.
Seriously though - if you like SGs try out the LP Special in TV Yellow.
Imo the best sounding Mahogani "board" out there
@@bingobongo1615 are you having a laugh!?!?
@@peanutraider8654 no and you should check that guitar out. Its as expensive as an SG in the srandard gibson variant and the custom shop also is very similar
@@bingobongo1615 price is irrelevant in rock n roll, I’ve played les Paul customs and standards, my tribute model SG which is Less than half the price of a standard les Paul is more than twice the guitar of any les Paul. Opinions are also irrelevant to me 😎
The only thing I don’t like about the SG is it’s headstock-heavy.
I owned a Strat and tele. Then I bought a les paul. Needless to say, I love the LP, it has inspired a different side of my playing. I never quite found it with the other 2. It’s a transcendent experience to say the least. I respect all 3. But I love the LP
Nothing sounds or feels quite like a Les Paul.
I agree, Paul all the way
I have a les Paul, but it’s slab body feel is too bulky and uncomfortable for me to play. I bought a jazzmaster HH and fell in love
@@robertemerson1087 my cheap squire can duplicate the hh lp sound no problem.
If I were to record using an lp and then record the same thing on my squire, I dought you could identify which is the lp.
This happens because I know how to adjust the tone on my amp and use the right technique to get the lp tone.
The lp tone,"sound" is the easiest to duplicate.
The single coil pick up get better tone than humbuckers so it's easy to duplicate any humbucker with a single coil
Shorter scale lenght and different neck profile is what bought me with Les Paul. I owned few starts, but those were not for me. I will get Tele and strat, but LP will be my main guitar.
Les Paul: smooth and warm
Strat: loose and spanky
Tele: tight and chimey
According to this description I chose Gibson, but I care more about tuning, cuz pickups can be changed u know
exactly
teles are also quite precise, tiny bit of vibrato goes a long way on a tell, easy to bend on a strat, less pauls just feel like a quick guitar
Tele for me
Les Paul: guitar
Strat: guitar
Tele: guitar
All 3 sonically sound great in their own ways. Side note: I love how your Strat looks with the natural wood grain. Never seen that before. It's beautiful.
Never heard of such a great video idea, no way anyone but you could come up with it. Legend.
You can give an argument for any one of them and receive an argument for the other two. All three are absolute icons.
Jimmy page had the world buying Les Paul’s when it was telecasters doing all the work on the first 2 albums
You mean just the 1st record? Whole lotta love is def a les paul and the rest of zep II 🤘
Stairway solo was with a Tele too!🤟
@@khangngo971 But played live with the SG doubleneck only ✌️
Most of the second album was actually done on the les Paul although some was done on the tele
@@MrRizoable Yeah I meant on the studio recording
2:27
Absolutely beautiful. That lick is amazing man.
After having all three types for a long time I settled with Jazzmaster - everything I love in electric guitars and more!
Wtf is a jazz master?
I own a Tele
Hate strats
But huh?
@@og-greenmachine8623 How have you not seen the jazzmaster
@@s.y4580
I know...
Blame heavy metal
Same, I've played all three and would pick a JM or Jaguar over any guitar now.
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repentt for the kingdom of heaven is at handddd
Everyone has their favorite. However this video further convinced me that I need to have more diversity in my collection.
There are just certain sounds that certain guitars achieve way better than others.
BTW, I’m a Les Paul lover
I.e we need more guitars.
@@hoangnguyennguyen1032 more money***
Have u seen the eastwood gp guitar ?? That one looks awesome and sorta like a less paul body. It's not too expensive either
I'm the opposite. For what I play, a super strat or les paul with splits is ideal. Single coli cleans and humbucker gain.
get one each....job done and dusted....makes you feel better too....:-)
I love how different guitars will take you into different musical directions. Cool to hear guitar to guitar..I can see wanting all 3 however this further solidified my love for the Stratocaster. Great job as usual dude thanks!
All three are awesome. I've been playing them all for years and I feel like you can use any of them for anything at all. There are a million sounds in all of them.
Being fortunate enough to own a few of all three, I have to say that there is no clear “winner”, since each of them can really play any musical style very well. It’s a matter of what feels best in your hands and inspires the music. Great overview on them! Keep shredding, Tyler!
The neck and middle pickups on a strat working together is IT.
Doesn't really cut a mix tbh
@@williamphillips3365 Overdrive peddle.
If you like the sound of garbage, and are also in the 1950s, then yes agreed
Telecaster, Nick Jonas was the first guitar player to bring me to tears.
I prefer Lil Wayne’s extremely emotional solo.
@@ethanpederson 🤣
Naw u guys it's obviously Oliva Rodrigo in good 4 u obviously
@@christopherbarrera6236 ok I'm not a huge fan of pop but that song bangs
@@paulsc4689 me kinda too, but I just watched that one video about how that song and misery biz by paramore sounds the same and now I'm hooked lol
I use my 2002 American Tele Plus, as both a canoe paddle in the summer, and a snow shovel in the winter here in Upstate New York.
It only goes out of tune with the temperature changes.
Sounds great year ‘round.
I also hammered nails with it while building my garage. It’ll never break!
Dude. I love watching your videos when baked. I just vibe with the music you play. Alllll the love bigdog ❤
The Tele is the most versatile. Tons of recordings you think were on an LP or Strat were on a Tele, Broadcaster, Nocaster or Esquire. A good one will play anything well in my opinion.
Your right! Its just the shape of the tele that just dosen't do it for me.
Definitely true but they are just so ugly I’m my opinion hahah
Yuo need to grow into a tele. At the start I loved only les pauls. I never liked strats as the shape felt just so 'common'. And I almost never looked at the teles. It's been 13 years and tele is now my beautiful go-to guitar.
People associate Jimmy Page with a Les Paul because he played that live most of the time but most of his recordings on the first 4 albums were done with his Tele
@@sbkoalala6020 The first album, yes. After JP got his Les Paul off Joe Walsh in late 1969 he rarely used a Tele again.
That prog section needs to be made into a full song, please make it happen.
Edit: throw in one minute solo using your custom PRS, you are one of the most technically proficient guitarist on TH-cam. Respect.
Tim Pierce is pretty ridiculously amazing. But the playing on this video was extremely tight.
Great vid as always sir. I have a Player Nashville, learning to play and having fun.
I really like the tone of the telecaster. I have just put hot rails in my telecaster and it sounds wonderful!
All guitars are great. Personally I fell in love with Telecaster Custom with WideRange hum's - this pickups are sounding great in shoegaze and with tonns of reverb with theirs specific emptiness😍they are made a incredible cold tone
When i listen the clean single coil sound of a Stratocaster i fall in love everytime🥰
For me it’s the Telecaster! You can have every type of pickup in the guitar to change up the voicing and it can take it! Great across all genres and fits my name Cath plus telecaster = TeleCathster!
So does Strat… stratocathster???
What does that have to do with which one you prefer though lol
Recently bought a telecaster. Was looking for a strat or tele... Came across the charvel brand in brand new condition on Facebook market.. man I fell in love. Those fluence pick ups are insane.
At the end I expected “…and now one to rule them all, PRS”
I have always not really liked the necks on my PRS's....I love my Gibson and Fender necks.
They’re all amazing, the war around them should stop, just choose whichever you wanna use
Out of your 3 guitars, I think the strat was the most unique sounding, the LP and the tele sound great but very much like other LPs and teles out there, but there was something about your strat's tone that made it stand out compared to other strats that I've heard, it just made me go "ooh, that's nice..."
This video is great thank you, a lot of videos that do comparisons between guitars will often play totally different riffs on them, which in my opinion just turns the video into "what riff did you prefer."
God, they’re all so good! My personal favorite guitar tone (besides Eric Johnson’s live in Austin TX strat sound) is the snappy, clean(ish) tone I’ve only ever heard come out of a tele!
I'm a massive Strat fan myself. I'm always loved the feel and comfort of a Strat, and the tonal versatility is something to behold. I own two strats, a Squier and a Fender Player HSS Strat, and both of them are an absolute joy to play. My Squier Strat is more of a jamming instrument than anything else, I'll usually play it when practicing or warming up. My Fender Strat is a workhorse for a fact. I'm a metalhead first and foremost, and my Fender handles that easily, while also letting me switch to a softer, bluesier sound just witha pickup switch and roll of the volume knob. Really the only thing missing from making it perfect for me is a non-locking floating bridge of some kind, and then it's my dream guitar. Love my Strats, both of them, and literally every other guitar I own with only 2 exceptions have the Strat Shape.
You explained the 3 differences so well. Also your living room is a gem! James Deagle
I always enjoy watching, listening to be specific, someone that is more used to playing humbucker guitars pickup single coil instruments. They have this nice soft touch which allows the note to bloom.
Just about every Charvel, Jackson, Ibanez player would like a word with you about what shreds more.
I think the shred is in the player not the guitar... aka Zack Wylde or Yngwie Malmsteen or John 5... Think that covers all three guitars !!!
Superstrats master race!
@@johngrey7089 its really difficult to shred on any of these guitars and I say this as an absolute fender and Gibson fan.
Strat is still the best out of the three but a modern metal guitar is much better
It’s no surprise I ended up with one of each of these fantastic guitars. They all sound amazing and do their own thing
I've been waiting years for this video!
The strat will always always always be my favorite guitar. Grew up playing it, and still play it to this day. Will never love anything more. It has such a familiar and comforting sound, and is so comfortable to play because I’m so used to it.
A Tele is all I need. IMO, it's the most versatile of the lot- there's a reason it's a favourite among session guitarists. It can do everything from hard rock/metal (Status Quo anyone?) to Blues (Roy Buchanan) to Country (take your pick) to Jazz (Ed Bickert- master of the Jazz Telecaster). The original solid body electric, and still the best!
100 percent agree. I’d really only classify myself as barely an intermediate player but I have a fender shiflett Tele and there’s nothing it can’t do incredibly well. It has to be far and away the best budget guitar out there
Spot on! I have a Les Paul and a Strat, but they barely see the light of day since I bought a Tele two years ago.
most recognized rock/metal tele player is probably tom morello from RATM. i got a tele not too long ago and love it. like you said it’ll do any genre good
Amen
@@ryry4894 I completely forgot about Tom!!! How could I forget about Tom?! Thank you!
The Les Paul is used on most of my favorite sounding classic rock / hard rock music albums. The super strat in the form of a Jackson Soloist, is on most of my favorite 80’s metal albums.
les paul is the best for blues as well
Superstrats, especially the soloist, are way underrated
@@tomaslopez2940 I'm from the '80's, and I have to say, the SuperStrat is very highly rated. They made the LP guys look and sound outdated. LP's are cool, but the Strat and its variants rule.
Your playing is godlike!! So much emotions in it
Im a telecaster lover since the day i used to play guitar but LP clinched me a bit. I love them all. Nice content sir.
I never paid attention to the tele. Now, I love it. Wow does it sound out of this world!
It’s the original and still around for a reason
Reaaly simple design that didnt change much since the early 50's. It's magic.
a high quality tele is probably the only electric guitar you'll ever need ... diggin this one especially. the black pick guard looks so cool as well.
Any advice for buying one? Only electric I've ever owned has been an Alvarez Classic II, 90s Korean Stratocaster knockoff. I'm sick of tuning it constantly, and would love a guitar with 24 frets that does amazing intonation, with the over-driven telecaster sound. I finally have the ability to spend some money...
@@JakeKlineMusic buy it dude
Wow, this video went quick, I watch it till the end and it went so fast so quick. Time fly's they say. When something is really good and interesting you are sucked into it and forget about time. Most of your videos are of that level. I'm not a guitar player myself but I love your videos they are entertaining and educational.
I bought a Tele (over 15 years ago) for some twang and found out in a big hurry that those things handle rock amazingly well. Way better than a Strat does, IMO. I miss that thing and someday I'll have one again.
I´m impressed with the shredding Telecaster! I wasn´t expecting that it would sound better than the strat. But it does to my ears! Amazing
I'd be interested in hearing the Les Paul and the Strat on the country trial, but, respectfully, I feel the Paul is best for rock and roll and blues simply for the fact that it has more BALLS!.
Great little video.
Keep 'em coming.
I think the deep somehow metallic tone of the tele is perfect for many genres including jazz and blues, it may stand out as a country guitar but I've never used mine as such. The problem with rock though is the background noise of the single coil pickups, but man! you managed to get great harmonics with yours!
I've grown to really love the bridge on telecasters, I got a G&L, split coil humbucker in the neck, hot single coil on the bridge position, and I wired it so I can blend the two back and forth with a pot, ocean spray green color with gold hardware, I love the thing
I think, as a long time LP player, that it's partly what you first pick up and get used to. I prefer the short scale, just don't bond with the sound or feel of Strats, although I do enjoy nice Tele's. As much as I am not a Strat fan, a LOT of Rock has been played on them. But to me, they are thin where the LP is full and chunky, and that's what I like! Since a lot of tone is in the fingers, I also think that the way folks play and sound dictates which type of guitar they gravitate to, and either the type of music they play and write points them to a specific type of guitar, or the type of guitar they play dictates/influences the style of music they play and write - or both!
I love the Tele in a grunge or alt-rock setting. I think it sounds awesome in drop and other alternative tunings with some fuzz. But it also sounds amazing with a super clean super clean amp with reverb, much in the style of Jeff Buckley.
Thank you for the crystal clear knowledge shared.
Telecaster All the way for me..I fell in love with tele when i first saw toru kitajima play it as well as jonny greenwood and many of my favourite other artist. Idk....Its sound and the guitar as a whole sorta pulled me towards it and Im pretty happy that i would be getting a Tele soon😄😁

@@brutalbutcher6515 when you realize that his Schecter Telecaster copy is two times the price of an american Fender tele. His overdrive pedal alone is 1000 bucks. GAS time.
Tele = GOAT. Gets the stratty sounds I like and BARKs raunchier than a LP
@@telecaster-freechannel9405 U gotta be joking. Tele's All day any day baby. Tele's on distortion growl's like a hungry wolf. Besides Jimmy Page looked cooler playing a Tele than playing his LP. Strats are cool but Tele's are more dynamic and Adhoc as
fuck.
@Lucky Nah. Teles are more versatile, and plus jimmy page recorded some of the greatest work with his telecaster
@@allanaguilar8936 nah, strats are more versatile. 3 pups and 5 positions give you a wider palette of sounds than 2 pups and 3 positions.
@Lucky my bad man, I didn’t see that the guy deleted his comment
@@telecaster-freechannel9405 strats only have a contoured body going for them, if it wasn’t for that, everyone would be buying teles, and plus strats have a weak sound
I have all three. They all have their place. The Strat is really smooth. The Tele is angular in your face (and so twangy) and the Gibson Les Paul is great for stuff like AC/DC but also blues.
I find the Strat the most comfortable to play, but I have real soft spot for the telecaster. So today if I had to choose I would say the Telecaster.
I'm currently in the market for a cheap tele for recording purposes (I'm a bassist but am missing a guitar to lay down some tracks). I found the tele to be the most versatile for the genres I'm switching between (jazz, fusion, r&b, funk, rock). Like he said though, ultimately any guitar can be used for any genre and it comes down to your personal taste on sound and feel to find what is right for you.
G&L Asat Tribute. Great pickups- high out out. Great guitar for price
Strat here. My first (and current) guitar, was a strat so I don't really have experience with les paul and tele but I feel like it's just more to do on a strat and it's more comfortable.
And it’s really heave to carry
@@caspar1031 Exactly. The les paul and tele doesn't have those smooth curves that the strat has
They are kings. But if I have to choose one, the Strat. The most iconic.
@@jaycatanzaro2743 wouldn't have guessed
I purchased a PRS CE24 off of one of you older videos and couldn't be happier, still want to getthe OG's here but after playing my PRS I don't think the others even compare.
This is the best thing/demonstration I’ve ever heard
Teles are definitely the most versatile. I’ve got a early 60s Tele and it definitely outplays any les Paul or strat that I’ve played. I do think it sounds best for blues, not country, but that’s just my opinion, and it really works for anything.
Having all 3 is the only way. If you can live with just one I guess your just missing the point. Playing on these guitars inspires completely different music. Maybe it's just the way they feel, but writing music it is a pleasure to play all 3. Each time I pick one up it makes me play in a different manor and I create differently from if nothing else just the feel. Love them all!
Sound is subjective, living with one may mean someone has tried them all and that particular style is what they connect with or sooths their soul. If you get that feeling with one guitar, you're not missing anything at all. In fact, you've found what many spend a lifetime chasing.
Well said.. the inspiration part should never be overlooked when choosing a guitar - and preferably get all the ones you love.
I have a tele and a HSS Strat. Next stop for me is a LP or SG. Part of me wishes I had a traditional strat, but I at least have the option for a humbucker tone if I need one at the moment.
@@graysonclark3461 same here, have a tele and an hss strat. I do love the hss sometimes regret not having a standard strat. Next guitar when I can justify with skill 😂
Got a Les Paul Standard and Special. Toyed with the idea of a Tele.
Great video Thank You. I learn so much from you. THNKS again.
Excellent presentation, and I agree with everything. And MAN you can play! I often don't like shredding, but you do it in a very tasteful way!
I’m a strat guy it’s been proven time and again how versatile it is and I love the smooth playability of the strat.
That shred on the tele is just soo unexpected and mindblowing
Just love them all. ❤
Nice comparison vlog dude 👍
They are all amazing. But finding the “right” pick up makes all the difference. Even though ex Tele pick up sounds of Tele, there are big difference in sound/tone depending on the pick up.
The tele is the most versatile, the strat has the best playability & the les paul is the heaviest.
Yes. Les Paul wins heaviest guitar award.
Both heavy in the sound but also it weighs like shit
Well said.
Heaviest, literally
@@telecaster-freechannel9405 I mean I‘m a strat guy, I couldn‘t give the tele the playability, so I said most versatile. Strat all the way tho.
Sometimes I feel a little limited on a strat, don’t me wrong, I only play strats as my main guitar, but I just can’t get in humbucker theritory. Tele bridge pickups tend to be quite hot and fat (at least the ones I played), so you have more fatter options.
My Yamaha Pacifica (strat) is tied with my G&L asat tribute tele as my favorite. Great video
There are guitarists who sound great with a Les Paul, others with a Tele and others with a Strat. ONLY Gary Moore could make all three sound the best at any point.
Gary Moore could make a stick with a rubber band sound good.
Wait i thought he only played Les Paul's
Jeff Beck could make them all sound like a telecaster from Mars. Alnico pickups mined on Jupiter by aliens.
@@hendix2200 Nah he played a Jackson on some songs as well.
@@usuallyclueless4477 yeah i gave it a search, he played basically anything
Really like the blues section. Would be great to have some tabs on that or maybe a guide.
Its just improv using whats known as Pentatonic weaving, take your pentatonic box and add some notes like the b5 as a passing note, or the b6 and the 2 to add some spice to some sections or, just like the b5 or any other chromatic note, as a passing note
I love the Strat, but with the HSS configuration, so in this way you can enjoy the best of both worlds in my opinion c:
Brilliant. I’ll take one of each, thanks
Man, you sound great! That opening jam was epic!
You give lessons?! Seriously!
I think the Tele is the most versatile guitar there is. As we saw, ironically, you can actually shred on a Tele. Plus, since both the Stairway and Hotel California solos were recorded on a Tele, it's clearly capable of being a lead guitar. Also, despite not having Humbuckers, you can still get some better than decent high gain chord tones. But there are some pretty unique sounds that you can really only get from a Tele. Everyone is trying to get some of those Strat and Tele specific tones using split coil and push pull pots, but it's just not the same. No man or woman should be forced to own only one guitar. But if that were a person's curse, they'd probably have to go with the Telecaster.
I think using a Les Paul for Rock 'n Roll is definitely correct, but I'd say tele's are best for indie rock, particularly as rhythm guitar, and the strat as lead guitar or an ES-335.
Also, for this, I kinda think the ES-335 should be included.
I have all 3. For me the Tele is my favorite, but my reasons are more about ergonomics than sound. A Tele neck just feels perfect in my hand. I also prefer the simplicity of one volume and one tone knob. I love the sound of a Les Paul but it does not hang off my body in a balanced way. It tends to butt dive. It also hangs to far to my right so I have to twist my body more to get to the higher frets. The Strat's volume knob and pickup selector switch are too close to the bottom strings. I tend to bump them inadvertently when I strum aggressively.
My first electric was a Squier Telecaster, it was fantastic and I had no issues with it but I gave it to a good friend after I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Standard which is still my main.
I use it for literally everything that I wouldn't do on an acoustic and I have no interest in getting another guitar unless it's a Gibson Les Paul.
They're all great, but the Teli is the love of my life. The L.P. is crunchy, the Strat is smooth, the Telecaster is somehow both & something more.
I couldn't decide if I liked my Strat or my Les Paul (both off brand) more. Then half the humbucker died in the bridge position on the Les Paul, and my tech wired it up as a single coil, now I have humbucker and single coil on my LP and it sounds awesome. It's also over 40 years old and I want to keep as much of the original hardware in there as I can.
Yeah but the tele does rock, blues, country, funk, and happens to be good for worship music too. Makes great sounds both clean and distorted. Stays in tune. Nice understated looks. String tension and scale length allows easier switching between acoustic and electrics as well, as an added bonus.
