This is better than 90% of the guitar videos on CZcams - and the dude doesn’t at all even seem like he intended to make this. Seems like he’s just chillin talking about guitar shit and someone took out their phone and started filming. Love it.
You’re spot on w your assessment! I’m in 1000000% agreement w you! The dude knows his shit,can play w feel, and isn’t pretentious or talking ‘down’ to you.He’s REAL!. There’s so many a-holes out there.Guys like R hett Sh ule, who I personally don’t know, and could be a good guy.But for me, being a studio keyboard occasional guitar, multi instrumentalist player my whole career, guys like the one I mentioned just sometimes bother me!This guy is f-in awesome. You can tell he’s doing it for the right reasons, not to sell merch or get the most subscribers, which will possibly get him the most subs! I subscribed immediately!
Thanks for your take on it!
Yeah exactly. No tedious upbeat intro, hard sell etc etc
Stumbled onto this whilst looking through CZcams and, after reading some of the initial comments I am in agreement, best telecaster playing I've watched.
Your range of playing is amazing , I could listen to you all day.
I don’t hear anything special.
@@BkBk-gy6vr because you still have your head into your own arse.
I saw a guitar documentary featuring Andy Summers demonstrating his latest effects rack and foot switcher. The last thing he said was, "basically we use all this stuff to make the guitar sound like it did before we had all this stuff".
chorus and delay, flange?,…..?
@@bonsummers2657 Don't know. Just quoting Andy. The show was called Equinox, and I believe it was produced in the UK.

"The enemy of art is the absence of limitations." -Orson Welles
The beauty of guitar music is in its limitations. When you are only give a single volume and tone, you will try to maximize the different types of tones. Then you add in the pickup selector. Then you add in the amp EQ. There are so many tonal variations can be achieved with just simple controls, but we live in a modern digital age where we have everything accessible at our fingers with modeling amps and digital amp sims, but there is a beauty in the limitations and it truly breeds creativity and innovation.
Absolutely !
This has been known since the late-80s, when the supposedly "advanced" guitars like Steinberger with active pickups plugged into rack$ of outboard FX and MIDI sounded worse than an old Gibson or Fender plugged straight into an old amp for 90+% of anything you'd ever want to record.
It's kinda how we got bands like the Black Crows and an entire genre like grunge in the first place.
Everything you said.
I have felt like this for many many many years...Countless examples in music and film, just because the limits are lifted does not mean you will create something better.
An even more important aspect of all this though is that with easy software technology for doing anything and everything at a few clicks, this allows businesses to completely control everything that's produced. A corporation no longer needs to bother hiring actual artists and craftspeople to make music or films or whatever else, they can just produce anything from software templates based on whatever the internet data dictates will sell best (which is of course always repeating old things, hence why everything's gone stale) and they can just hire whoever to be a brand image for them and tell them what to do and write their stuff for them etc etc.
How it should be done ... like Jaco said: "It's all the hands." Someone asked Wilko Johnson what pedals he used, Wilko said: "I'm a guitarist, not a fucking cyclist."
Jaco is extremely respectable and I’m not sure where that quote is from but he did use loopers, delays, reverbs, and chorus often.
@@paulginaven7986 The quote is from Jaco himself. he did use tricks when needed, but mainly it was all in his hands
@@elizabethanderson2968but no one says pedals makes you good at playing, Hendrix didn’t used an octavia or an univibe because it made him play better he used those in order to get the space psychedelic factor he wanted to impulse in his songs. People like you won’t like that I’m sure but Les Rallizes Dénudés shows what a few maxed out pedals do and it’s incredible even more for the 70s
@@omnirath Its a subjective thing
@@elizabethanderson2968 yeah but there’s no way it should be done, effects are tools, the saturation of a bassman too
This man has fully connected hands to his trained ears. Great playing joy to listen 👌👍
Thanks
The best guitar ever made.
Great video! A mentor told me once, “Tone is in the hands”. There’s truth to that. The guitar and amp won’t do all the work. He is one with the guitar. So the guitar gives all it has to offer.
Truth to that, check out Roy Buchanan! Telecaster, cord, Fender Vibroverb, period!
With a bit different amp he could have gone a LOT further than this with minimal effort. No channel switching or EQ needed.
One amp-footswitch and one boost pedal does it.
With an amp's switchable reverb (preferably an amp with drippy reverb :) and a single boost pedal to keep some headroom, he can extend the range into a (thin but serviceable) Jazz timbre, a Surf, Spy and Spaghetti Western timbre, and Ska & reggae skank rhythms .
Christ that Hendrix tone is spot on 👌
Amazing what variety of tones, even without touching Amp buttons, only guitar selectors, great presentation 👏👏👍
You've proved that It all comes down to the skill of the player, not how much you've spent on effects.
I used to hate telecasters until I bought one ,and now I absolutely love them and now I have 3 . A very nice sounding versatile guitar . Fantastic tones sounds great well done .
Cheers
Happened to me. Now they are my main guitars.
I tell people I'm a recovering Les Pauler.
The problem is so many YT demos of boost and OD are using teles and noodling generic 'blues licks' with no other meaningful context,
so when demo'ing the EQ and gain ranges the relatively shrill, thin and 'spiky' timbre of a tele is ear-fatiguing faster than other guitars. Particularly when playing generic blues licks
_"oooh yeah, baby....Just cant wait for yet another 3-string-mute-to-wholestep-bend to kick off another"solo" "_ fucking hell, lol
Me too. This is such a common story; I didn't get them at all until I noticed that so many of favourite artists and songs used them. Now mine has pride of place!
The answer is: People who live in appartments for rent. If i would play my amp at the edge of break up the cops will knock at my door in a few minutes. 😅
So i am realy happy about my FX pedals. 😉
Or, just lower the master
@@fede_r__ thank you soooo much🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 i never thought about that before. You realy saved my life. 🙄 ..... There are amps without a master volume, you know?
Headphone
Nice … this is why I love my Telecaster.
I saw Petty playing one when I was 14 & thought it looked cool, and once I finally got one I understood why so many people use them.
There's nothing in the world like a Telecaster for tone.
well, except every other 25 1/2" scale electric guitar.
it's TIMBRE is wiry, spiky and thin. _Tone_ and tonality is about **intervals** (triTONE, diaTONic, pentaTONIC... get it?)
not the amp setting or sound of pickups etc... but people are stuck in a dysfunctional terminology, so here we are

@@shaft9000 wtf

@@shaft9000 So you're the prick who keeps sucking the fun out of the room.
Great informative video showing the versatility of the Telecaster. And nicely played.
I went pedal buying crazy during Covid boredom. Almost all of them have ended up for sale on reverb. I am now down to 3 or 4 including a tuner. I am trying back to practicing everyday with just the guitar and amp and it’s making me better at understanding the relationship between guitar volume, tone and dynamics and the pre-amp/power amp sections of my amp. Im not a great player, but the fewer pedals I use the better I begin to understand what’s really happening here.
I’m 62 been playing since 15 I’ve never had a pedal. Used overdrive on amp and reverb . I know I guy who couldn’t play a gig because he lost a pedal
All I use is a reverb pedal and a drive, if my amp doesn't have those built in.
Agreed
@@Anjohl I like Reverb. My amp has it built in, so no need for a reverb pedal.
50% of my friends like Delay, and 25% of those use both reverb and delay. Am I missing anything by not using both reverb and delay?
@@cNicely Just colors the sound more, personal preference on that
I went through six years on the road in the 60s with my Tele and it could do anything, it never broke down and with a rosewood board the tonal possibilities were vast. You have just shown me the ones I didn't manage. What a vid display of our fav. guitar Thank You
Just when I thought I was making progress on guitar, I see this guy 😪😪
lol same.
Dude switches style like it ain’t no thing
No shredding, just rockin out. Love it.
Comparison is the thief of joy. Judging by the grey hair and skill…he’s been at it a while. Keep getting better bit by bit and you’ll get there too.
Being good at guitar is better than any pedal you can find
Brilliant display of versatility!
Best tele I’ve watched all night.
This video is up there with Joe Bonamassa's Les Paul tone lesson for showing just how much variety you can get out of just volume and tone knobs.
Just cut the grass, three beers in, don’t know exactly what’s going on after them beers but I do think I’m impressed!
How did the grass turn out?
That's why I always say the telecaster is the best guitar ever made
Agree. The Tele and the 335 are the most versatile electric guitars IMHO.
Bull, it's a poor man's strat
@@djizzah What's a strat?
He got all these great examples for the different sounds! Very organized❤
Yep. I ditched pedal rigs and even solid-body guitars long ago. I found when I stopped busying myself tweaking gear on stage, my tips shot way up, because I stay connected to the audience instead of the rig. Nice picking control allows you to sound like two players instead of one. I think guys are waaaaay to busy with gear. You start actually playing more sophisticated when you're left with only the instrument
Great video post!
What a great demo by a very cable guitarist. Those wishing to learn from this note how his technique changed to get the most out of guitar sound. Amazing demo of technique here as well as guitar sounds. 👍
Absolutely fantastic!
Many guitarists never investigate those partial volume sounds - I use them on all my guitars and in fact IMO I think the best tones lie there. I have the same tele as you do - what a tone machine!
Every guitar player ever, should watch this video. 👏
Those middle position licks are exactly what I play in that position. Sounds great.
I think there’s a time and place for pedals too but this is a great example that you don’t really need them. Also a reminder how simple but versatile a telecaster is. Easy to pick up, hard to master. Why I love teles, and Im not nearly as good as a player
I really don’t understand the pride in not using effects. I know what my guitar and amp can do and I love it. But sometimes I want a flanger. Sometimes I want a long delay. Sometimes I want the choice of 3 different drive tones instantaneously. Sometimes I want a little compression. Hell sometimes I even want the guitar to sound like a trombone for a minute. To each his own!
It’s all about tones (maybe the mention of « effects » in the description is not what you expected). I see no proud in the video.
Not at all in the video, agreed. Only in some of the comments. Cool that the video makes no mention of effects positively or negatively-he’s just pleased with what he gets from the amp and guitar.
Inevitable that there is going to be prattle about how superfluous, unnecessary, gimmicky etc effects are. I think it can all coexist just fine.
Everything you say is absolutely true. Unfortunately many players are under the impression that they need a dozen $200 boxes between them and the amp to sound any good. This video shows that isn't automatically the case.
@@anthonyz7000 I'm with you. When I was young I bought a pretty expensive piece of equipment periodically, convinced it was the only thing keeping me from being someone else. 😊
For a while my entire guitar rig was a Tele going directly into a little Marshall amp with a yellow Fender cord that matched my guitar. I was kind of going off of an interview I read with Keith Richards where he said you’ve basically just got to match the right guitar with the right amp.
That worked for a while when I was just playing straight forward rock and roll, but then I was in a jam band with some guys that played a lot of Dead, and I end up getting a Strat, an auto wah, a Fender amp.
Fast forward about 20 years and now I’ve got over 20 guitars, 6 amps, god knows how many pedals that I’m constantly deconstructing and reconstructing pedal boards for.
I guess the point he was making is you can get a lot of quality tones just from a good guitar and an amp.
Great demo of sounds........
Great playing and sounds!
Jam packed, pun intended. So good. Thank you!
Very cool. I'm embarrassed by how late in life I started using the knobs, or as Joe Bonamassa calls them, "the forgotten pedals" the wah trick is really fun.
What's the wah trick ? Please share it.
@@benallmark9671 it's a volume knob "trick".
Typical wah is a resonant band-pass filter. Most guitar "tone" knobs are a non-resonant lowpass, so they wont get a "quack-a-waka" sound.
Tele was the first guitar that I bought for this very reason. So many greats played it
Great display of options..
This really reminds me about that video of Joe Bonamassa doing the same thing with a Les Paul.. never thought a Tele can be just as versatile!!!
czcams.com/video/DbI7yW1c1eU/video.html
Great video,got a ton of pedals but went back to basics with my Tele, forgot just how versatile they are,many thanks for a brilliant display 💯
Great information and perfect presentation. Glad I clicked this vid!!
Super cool video. Thanks
Excellent! 👍
Stunning tones
Very informative. Thank you. It’s easy to forget just how many great sounds can be made with the most basic of equipment AND imagination. Once again, thank you.
This was excellent
Awesome playing and tones! 🤘
the feel is for real, fabulous playing!
Okay, I’m impressed!!!!
Sounds Awesome !!! Well done !! I like it !!!!
Excellent demonstration, there's a lesson to be learnt there !
Great video. Lots of good for thought on all the tones you can get out of a tele.
I mean, I get all you are doing on the guitar, and of course all of it works and are great resources, but come on! You got the Midas touch! It is your hands and fingers doing all the work! You are an amazing player! New favorite channel found!
That was an incredible demo. I'm looking for a tele now
what amp are you using?
I tend to put pedals into two categories. One is tone and the other is effects. Most tone pedals aren’t needed beyond needing more gain. Effects like chorus, delay, rotary, wah etc. can’t be replicated but depending on what type of stuff you’re playing you may not need them.
I generally think it’s better to have and not need than need and not have. An occasional effects pedal can be very effective……
WoW! What an outstanding video. Thanks
The sound is so much more organic when you don't clutter things up with effect pedals and rack gear. Just a 2-pickup guitar with a volume and tone knob plugged into an amp where overdrive is controlled by the volume knob can deliver such an amazing palette of tones. So many great guitarists from Walter Trout to Angus Young got great tones by plugging straight in sans effects. No reason why we knuckleheads can't do the same!
Superb video. Great playing and really educational
Awesome examples of how many miles you can get out of just a guitar and amp. Thank you!
Great video!!!
Great playing and you are very right: It is as versatile as it gets.
Love tele's, nice playing and tone Glen!
This video is the best Telecaster demo on CZcams probably
Really a nice telecaster demo. I’ve had so many it’s nice here you go through all these different sounds
Thank you kindly!
Great playing & Info....Glen is the bomb!!!
Leo Fender , a genius...................
Just got a Tele. Thank you. Your technique is pro level. Fantastic.
Nice demo - Guthrie is an advocate of this approach too! Thanks for posting.
That performance is only perfect lad. Ingenious as well!
Excellent playing sir!
Good demo. I've played many gigs with a Telecaster, one lead, and the overdrive channel of a Fender BDR, using just the pickups, volume and tone controls. For the faux wah effect, I hammer on rather than picking.
This video is spot on
awesome video
Amazing how many different tones you can get from a Telecaster! Great job Glen, demonstrating how to tweak your Tele to make your sound fit any style of music! Love that Telecaster you're playing, by the way! 😊👍👍🎸🎶✨
Masterful playing pal👍
Thank you
I am with you. I stoped using effects a long ago and my playing improved a lot.
Great post Steve! But it sparks a question: Why exactly did avoiding pedals improve your playing "a lot"? Can you identify the reasons? That would be really helpful to many of us guitarists
@@cNicely Well as I started out with all them gadgets A active US Charvel guitar Roland effects amp a Zoom and one multi pedal I had that brown sound pretty quick thinking of me as an genius a God!
No I was not as gadgets will make 75%.
I had turned to an keyboardist as clever in finding and combining spectacular sounds! Yeah I played that guitar with an table spoon and other crazy stunts and it sounded as good whatever I did to it.
As I dicovered it I started to scale down and as all the sudden that I wanned to play all kind of music now it was up to skill and boy that I lacked skill.
Effects are as much about what you can get from just one guitar and one amp or by some anomalies as that Strat i once had where I could do the U2/Edge all day long. Effects will ensure that it is always there and as easily creating an lazy player.
I always thought the Telecaster had a better jazz tone than the big fat arch top guitars.
You'll love Julian Lage too then ..
Amazing!❤
Thank you! 😄
Genius. Always loved my tele but think I need to get to know it even better now - after God knows how many years! Thanks mate.
Great tones, subscribed.
Joe Bonamassa said - and I'm paraphrasing - that before you buy any pedals you should play around with the tonal controls that come with your guitar, because you may not need any. I think this video aptly demonstrates that point.
Great informative video, and you are a very good player too!
Lovely guitar and tones....👍
So helpful!! Thank you!
alright I'm sold
Well done!
great tutorial Glen, certainly have learned a lot, your guitar sounds fantastic ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,greetings Renee
The only thing i use is the cable, straight in the traynor tube amp. Volume tones pots🤘
Tones and riffs for days!
This video is gold!! Thanks a lot!
Perfect illustration as to why you only ever need one electric guitar. The original and still the best. The Fender Telecaster
I've always said I like my slew of guitars...which does not include a Tele....but IF I could only have one I'd sell all of them and get a Tele.
This is worth me clicking subscribe. Great video. Its amazing how many guitarists just leave their volume & tone knobs on 10 and never learn to experiment with all the different sounds they can get just by adjusting volume & tone. I dont mind using effects but adjusting volume & tone on the guitar is a must and a lost art form
This is really good stuff!
Great musician!!!
Great vid!
Nice playing.
This is why, in 2017, after deciding a year prior that my imminent retirement merited my first decent electric guitar, researching and deciding a Tele was for me, and after finding out a modestly second-hand commemorative one from my birth year would cost tens of thousands in any currency, I bought a Fender Standard Maple Neck Brown Sunburst MIM Telecaster.
Just with the basic Tele with ungraduated Tone & Vol. reduced to say, 10 different levels, plus the 3-way pickup switch, we have 10 x 10 x 3 = 300 different settings.
And that doesn't count: -
Pick or not
Pick characteristics
Pick location, angle, velocity, attack, stroke angle, and more.
