I started learning to play guitar after I retired, about 7 years ago, as a "hobby," and to help ward off the "old timers" diseases. My first guitar was a Squier Butterscotch Blonde telecaster that I bought used. I had it set up, added new strings, and bought a Marshall 15 watt amp. If it wasn't for a few friends, and RUclips, I wouldn't even have attempted to learn how to play. I have since added an Epiphone Hummingbird Artist acoustic, an Oscar Schmidt Delta 30 semi-hollow body, a Fender Telecaster Modern Player, and a used MIM Fender strat to my collection. I still consider myself a beginner/intermediate player, but man do I enjoy playing, and continuing to learn! Thank you, Adrian for all you do, as well as others on here that give freely of their time and talent! Cheers, mate! :)
Telecasters are the real work-horse guitars, offering such a broad range of possibilities - I recently bought a Squier Tele, and playing it was like meeting an old friend!
Got a ‘52 Tele reissue from ‘99. Immediately fell in love. Never played a 7.25 radius before it, but playing chords is effortless. It’s like your fingers fall into the right place every time. Neck pickup is okay, but the bridge pickup is out of this world.
I bought one of these reissues in 1990 not long after they came out. I recognise the neck pocket gaps!lol. It was a great guitar and I regret selling it to fund some verandah doors! The nitro on the back of the neck never set, tough, and kept coming off the whole time i had it. But in terms of everything it does and how it plays you are spot on. Can’t go past a Tele.
I'm glad you did this video showing your tele. When I was fairly young, and saw electric guitars in a store, the one that caught my eye was a real 1952 blond tele. Years later, in fact just 2 yrs ago, my wife bought me a tele, I choose the MIM Baja blond tele, mainly because I like the chunkier neck on it vs the American made 52 reissue. Mine is all stock except for, and like your tele, I have Callaham saddles on mine. In my humble opinion the Baja tele is a vast improvement over the Classic Vibe tele, which I had for about 3 yrs. Now, if I could play my tele as well as you , I'd be a happy man.
I'd been avoiding buying a Tele due to the reputation they have for not easy playability. Finally, after a couple years of studying guitar (and playing short-scale Epiphones and Fenders) I picked one up and was stunned by just how great it felt! True, the 25.5"-scale neck is a bit more of a stretch-and I find it easier to manage the longer scale tension with 9-gauge strings-but overall the Tele is a joy to play and a very "amp-friendly" guitar.
I think Teles are some of the most player friendly guitars out there. Especially with the more modern c shaped necks. I admit the old 50s u shape necks are tough to play on for sure.
Thanks, mate! I picked up a Fender Squire Tele for $389 a couple of years ago at Sweetwater and have been pleased with the instrument. Surprisingly good value! Anderton’s did a blindfold challenge (video is on YT) and the Squire Tele passed with flying colors. 👍🏻
JIMMY PAGE , JEFF BECK, USED THEM George Harrison oh it goes on !!!. . They are an all round guitar . Great video 😎 I apologize I omitted what a great player you are 😀
Ry Naylor Guitar I have many high end guitars and just bought my first Tele. And I am absolutely loving it. Haven't touched my other guitars since Christmas....something about it.
Well done Adrian! Informative and entertaining at the same time. From shredding to funk to reverb drenched Chris Isaak-like tunes, the Tele can handle it. Will look forward to more.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I have an old Aria from 40+ years ago and a person does certainly bond with their guitar. Traded another guitar for this old acoustic and was my only one for a long time but now I have upgraded but still love the old thing. Thanks again for all that you do,from Mesa,Arizona.
A good Telecaster is a wonderfully versatile musical instrument... any style, any sound... it's fun exploring the sounds this terrific guitar will produce. Like the Strat it has its own classic in built sounds... something which probably does contribute to its sound character also is the intonation compromise at the ash tray with two strings per saddle adjustment. Really nice video.
I have a lovely USA Deluxe Telecaster in Montego Black with a gold scratch plate and noiseless pickups. It’s a joy to play and feels and sounds absolutely brilliant. Any serious guitar player should have a tele in their collection along with a quality valve amp.
Growing up in the 70's/80's, it was LP and Strats. Loved Steve Howe's Blonde Tele with Humbucker and snagged a 92 just like it and put Joe Barden Danny Gatton Pups! Now have a 62 AVRI Surf Green Tele and a 75 Black Tele Custom ala Keef! Have more Teles than any other model!
I find it to be a very percussive/rhythmic. Keith is in my top 3 fav players. 🕶️ Great playing loved the chorus piece you did. Sweet guitar! Liked and subbed.
Cool Tele. I have a 52 RI from the same era and I like it but the 7.25 fretboard radius and the excessively thick finish sometimes make me think of upgrading to one of the more recent models with the compound radius fretboard.
Tele’s are the best IMHO. They just feel good, I have four but really only play one because it works for just about everything. Adrian, I don’t know who does it across the pond but in addition to your adjustable bridge, You should look into a hand-made compensated nut to tune your lower frets.
Tele is great to take camping - so tough you can drive the stakes in the ground with it! For an older back they can be heavy. To my delight, I bought a used USA Tele Thiline Elite that weighs 6.6 pounds compared to my USA Tele's 8.6 pounds....
Adrian, it’s nice to hear your thoughts on that guitar. I’ve got the same one, a little younger. After seeing all the bases you covered on yours, mine needs to be played more. There’s just about it!
Great video ! My '52 reissue is from 2011 , bought it new , I wanted one for years. Never disappoints , although the bakelite gaurd is warped to buggery lol 😄 All the "closet classic" appearance on mine , like yours ,is real 👍 In addition to the amazing Tele players you mentioned, I'm really digging Redd Volkaert and John 5 currently 🎶🎶
Joe Strummer!!!! How could you forget Joe Strummer's famous Telecaster???? ...most surprising use of a Tele goes to Chris Spencer of NYC's "Unsane". BTW, I really like that bit you're playing at 6:19.
Thanks for this, Adrian. You mentioned recommending a Tele (potentially Squier) as the first/beginner electric guitar. I would always recommend one of the Epiphones, mostly because you can still get single coil-like tones, but with the humbuckers one avoids the potential buzz that is a hazard of using unshielded single-coils. I have also noticed that my LP and Epis have narrower fret spacing than my Strats, and would think that this is a better choice for those with smaller hands (e.g., kids).
So many associate Jimmy Page with the Les Paul yet it was a Telecaster that he used exclusively on Led Zepplin I and II. The dragon one Jeff Beck gave him of course. He also had a few others later on he used quite often, one with a B-Bender as well. Page also stated the Stairway solo was done with a Tele. In reality he should be at least as closely associated with the Tele as the Paul. Odd how things work out sometimes.
Just playing a Tele Player for a week now (the model that just replaced Fender's MIM Standard), only my second guitar after an Epi LP. Loving it so far. Still exploring all the tones available, very different than the LP. Most shocking discovery was that a G7 chord that always sounded horribly out of place in one particular song on my LP sounded great on the Tele (several possible reasons for that). I'm also really noticing the responsiveness of my tube amp to how I hit the strings--it seems as if I can control the tone from clean to dirty much more on this guitar. Maybe the LP's humbuckers obscure some of that character? Needless to say "I Walk The Line" sounds great on this one. Very comfortable to hold and am really happy with the sound. Eventually I'll get back to the LP (surely some things like Cinnamon Girl will sound better on the LP) and see how they really compare, but anyway I love this thing so far.
Your my favorite guitar you tuber, great vid :) but can you please do a tutorial for days by television, or any other television song? The venus one was fantastic
My first guitar was a G&L, ASAT Special, dark blue with white pick guard.... a cool punk axe. I got a few more later:a Baja, a MIM Standard, a Cabronita, an American De Luxe, and more. The latter was the most expensive (1600 US$) and disappointing. It sounded dull. I replaced the N3 pickups with Di Marzio to bring it to life. Still, it is a bit too sophisticated to be a real Tele (contour body, and so on). The best one in my view is the MIM Standard, that came for less than 500 eu. I can get a very good sound out of it - for the music I like. The morale is: the more expensive is not necessarily the better.
Nice vid Adrian, I’ve been playing Tele’s for years, one of which is a B bender, if the US players such as Paisley, Mason, Gill etc all play these guitars, that must say something. Keep up the good work......
thanks for taking the time to post this video .Just taking up learning the guitar at 60 yrs old and have decided to buy a Squire classic vibe and would like to know what the track you play at 6.21 is called . Thanks
I have one of those Teles. It was replaced by the American Vintage '52 Telecaster. The former Tele was the better of the two, great neck, and the pickups sound better than the later Tele. I bought mine used. Do you know what pickups Fender used on this earlier '52 Tele?
Even the LP was rewired and modified to sound more like a Tele tone. His tone is more like the original (pre-dimed Marshall) LP sound think Freddie King. There’s a reason those three Yardbirds guitarists all ended up going back to single coils as their styles needed to evolve beyond one “rawk” tone.
@@fossilmatic You're right. I always thought that Page was possibly the only one who made a Les Paul sound horribly thin. His Tele sounded fatter to me.
@@HughRogers609 He kind of gave up on Teles for quite some time because a friend ruined his dragon Tele. Doesn't make sense to take Les Paul on tour and then try to make it sound thinner, plus, Teles are much more durable than Les Paul's.
Yes, I have made a bunch of telecasters by hand, and know them intimately, they are wonderful guitars and definitely the "working man's" guitar... I heard that Bob Dylan arrived at a New York recording studio early one snowy winter morning .... he was carrying his tele without it's case and as he walked in, he just banged it on the floor shaking off all the snow....I love the butterscotch color on yours, Vince, I mean Adrian ;) yes I like the new glasses too, are they prescription? Next time tell us about your pedals and amps ...
If you want a Tele as good as one from the Fender Custom Shop (if not better) at a fraction of the price - seek out a 1982-1984 JV (Japanese Vintage) Made In Japan Squier. Not "Crafted In Japan". JV with a JV serial number on the bridge plate. Sublime.
Cool spotlight on your Tele, it sounds great. Do you think you might do another video featuring the pedalboard you were using here? You had some great sounds going there. Cheers!
Adrian, would you be averse to posting a photo on your website showing your amp settings and pedalboard configurations for each of the songs you demonstrate? Possibly also a comment or two on how they contribute to your range of tone. Thanks!
Yes, good idea. Just a question of finding the time to do it. I am trying to include a gear section towards the end of each song video, something I've not done in the past.
Good idea Lee. I have started adding a little gear bit towards the end of my recent song videos, but it might also be nice to have that info on my site. Will see what I can do!
The other great thing about Teles is that they seem to be able to take quite a lot of physical abuse, which is good if you're a bit clumsy. Mine's fallen over several times, and even seems to stay in tune after a slight fall. If I even so much as look at my Casino wrong, it goes out of tune.
I started learning to play guitar after I retired, about 7 years ago, as a "hobby," and to help ward off the "old timers" diseases. My first guitar was a Squier Butterscotch Blonde telecaster that I bought used. I had it set up, added new strings, and bought a Marshall 15 watt amp.

Never to late you will be happy to dest cover the world of sound

My favorite Tele was a G&L ASAT Classic with the dishpan bridge, six saddles, a three-bolt maple neck, and Mary Kaye finish. Loved that guitar.
I'm glad you did this video showing your tele. When I was fairly young, and saw electric guitars in a store, the one that caught my eye was a real 1952 blond tele.

I got a 52 reissue, and now i got a 64 reissue and i love them both the same. Thumbs up
That first riff you did was really nice can you show us it in a lesson?
I have a 1999 reissue '52..... incredible guitar....the pick-ups are stellar......

I picked up a Squire Stratocaster recently and love it. It's a lot of guitar for the price.
Yes indeed!
The Classic Vibe Telecaster was my choice for my first electric guitar. Happy so far.
I have an ‘88 USA Tele - and I love it. So enjoy your channel!
Its amazing to me all the different sounds coming from the one guitar... thanks for posting this!!
MAGA!!! :)
that last riff you played at the 8:17 mark sold me as soon as you hit the low E !! wow great tone I'm headed over to Reverb
Thanks for a great video. Great playing outstanding tones. Fender should use this video in sales. Great Job
Great video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with the Telecaster.
JIMMY PAGE , JEFF BECK, USED THEM George Harrison oh it goes on !!!. . They are an all round guitar . Great video 😎 I apologize I omitted what a great player you are 😀
That first “noodle” was beautiful
I have a Jazzmaster at the moment, but a tele is next in my list. Love the Jazzmaster as it was my first guitar, but it's gotta be a telecaster next.
Wish Adrian was my guitar teacher
But he is!
Keep thinking I need to get myself a Tele. Like the new glasses!
Thanks Ry. Everyone needs a Tele - just get one!
I'm the same, got a Strat but I've always liked Teles. I like TV too
Just snagged my first, a used Baja off Reverb. Already in love.
The Baja Tele is a great deal. Love that neck! Enjoy!
Ry Naylor Guitar I have many high end guitars and just bought my first Tele. And I am absolutely loving it. Haven't touched my other guitars since Christmas....something about it.
Nice 😎👍👌💯🎸🎸. Teles are one of the most versatile guitars ever made in History. They stand the test of time Take care
Wonderful little ode to the Telecaster. Very romantic :)
Well done Adrian! Informative and entertaining at the same time. From shredding to funk to reverb drenched Chris Isaak-like tunes, the Tele can handle it. Will look forward to more.
Telecasters are the great revealers of any of your guitar playing deficiencies

that's a beautifull tone brought tears to my eyes lovely dude lovely.

I just love that guitar.
Thanks buddy. Putting in an order for the "BROADCASTER" now. Appreciate you!

Thank you. I really enjoy your lessons and pleasant way of sharing. I own a Fender Cabronita Telecaster and absolutely love it.
Thanks Kevin. Yes, the Cabronita looks very cool.
Would love to see a video on that beautiful white Stratocaster as well!
James Honeymann-Scott?
Great video ! My '52 reissue is from 2011 , bought it new , I wanted one for years. Never disappoints , although the bakelite gaurd is warped to buggery lol 😄 All the "closet classic" appearance on mine , like yours ,is real 👍 In addition to the amazing Tele players you mentioned, I'm really digging Redd Volkaert and John 5 currently 🎶🎶
Love the butterscotch. How do you like the 7.25 radius would you perfer a 9.5?
Excellent information and great sounds too!
Joe Strummer!!!! How could you forget Joe Strummer's famous Telecaster???? ...most surprising use of a Tele goes to Chris Spencer of NYC's "Unsane".
BTW, I really like that bit you're playing at 6:19.
love the tele ...
Guitars lovely.. I like the way you play lots of different styles too..
I want to learn that first riff or jam you did on the Tele. Sounds wonderful! Perhaps there is already a video on it? Many thanks!
Great stuff! Looking forward to videos on the Strat, Vox and the Les Paul Custom...
I got aTele and couple Strats but the Tele is one of my fav also ty and Aloha Adrian...

hey adrian, could you do another bert jansch lesson please its been a while since youve had a really intracate finger piece. thanks xx
LURK KARTMAN3XY I would have to agree with this gentleman
LURK KARTMAN3XY isnt LURK that very cool😎😎 clan on bf4, i hear achievedloki687 is very handsome 😊
Like the riff at the end of the vid. I like Tele’s too.

Leon Red Always fancied a Jazzmaster myself , not had the pleasure as yet . I just wanna plug into Fender tube reverb tank and go ape ! 😁
I think you would be interested in my 52 vintage from 1982, fulerton factory, first year S.N. 0205
That neck pocket at 1:36? Slack as a Yak!
I had the Squier Classic Vibe version of this. Great guitar.
Adrian, have you had a chance to check out a Mexican Classic 50s? If you like your 52RI you'd appreciate one of those too.

Nice guitar. I have one of the early 80's Fender JVC 52 reissues.
thanks for taking the time to post this video .Just taking up learning the guitar at 60 yrs old
and have decided to buy a Squire classic vibe and would like to know what the track you play at 6.21 is called . Thanks
7.5 Radius did he talk about that. I always loved the old 7.25 strats just sweet strumming feel
I’ve got that same guitar, and that 7 1/4 neck does feel good in your hands.
I have one of those Teles. It was replaced by the American Vintage '52 Telecaster. The former Tele was the better of the two, great neck, and the pickups sound better than the later Tele.
I bought mine used. Do you know what pickups Fender used on this earlier '52 Tele?
Excellent video as are all your videos. I just picked up a used 52 Reissue and love it.
That sound at 8:18 was great. What pedals were you using?
Thank you
Cool guitar for sure.And you sure play cool. Nice.👍
How'd you find the neck, would it suit small handed players?
Hi Adrian, what was the wild flanging sound at 5:44 made with? Love your channel and your playing. Thanks from Australia!
Love all your. Ideas. Can I ask what model is that wine colored Vox?
hi do u must have long nails to use your fingers and the pick
if u do how long and what shape or no long nails at all ?
tku
I think that Jimmy Page's best guitar sound came from the period when he played Teles.
His whole career was Teles. He used them mostly for recording and took the LP on tour.
Even the LP was rewired and modified to sound more like a Tele tone. His tone is more like the original (pre-dimed Marshall) LP sound think Freddie King. There’s a reason those three Yardbirds guitarists all ended up going back to single coils as their styles needed to evolve beyond one “rawk” tone.
@@fossilmatic You're right. I always thought that Page was possibly the only one who made a Les Paul sound horribly thin. His Tele sounded fatter to me.
@@HughRogers609 He kind of gave up on Teles for quite some time because a friend ruined his dragon Tele. Doesn't make sense to take Les Paul on tour and then try to make it sound thinner, plus, Teles are much more durable than Les Paul's.
The telecaster guitars are great
Yes, I have made a bunch of telecasters by hand, and know them intimately, they are wonderful guitars and definitely the "working man's" guitar... I heard that Bob Dylan arrived at a New York recording studio early one snowy winter morning .... he was carrying his tele without it's case and as he walked in, he just banged it on the floor shaking off all the snow....I love the butterscotch color on yours, Vince, I mean Adrian ;) yes I like the new glasses too, are they prescription? Next time tell us about your pedals and amps ...
I've also heard that story but I'm pretty sure it was Mike Bloomfield, not Bob Dylan. At any rate, I also love my Telecasters.
oh, that's possible yes :)
Hi Adrian, I'm interested to know the weight?
If you want a Tele as good as one from the Fender Custom Shop (if not better) at a fraction of the price - seek out a 1982-1984 JV (Japanese Vintage) Made In Japan Squier. Not "Crafted In Japan". JV with a JV serial number on the bridge plate. Sublime.
That intro was awesome. Can you do tabs or just a quick 5min lesson?
Are the necks and finger boards nitro? I have one I’m just curious
I want a Tele that I can play Don Rich, Roy Nichols, and James Burton on. Is there a Tele that covers those sounds?
Please, which is this song that you start this video?
Could you post to the tab, please?
hi adrian, can you do a lesson on the rhythm progression of johnny winter's cover of "memory pain"? thx.cheers.
A bit off the subject but would you tell me what pick you are using.
Cool spotlight on your Tele, it sounds great. Do you think you might do another video featuring the pedalboard you were using here? You had some great sounds going there. Cheers!
What's that tune you're playing around the 6:30 mark?
Loving the new glasses!
Anymore thoughts on Ventures style Wildwood Flower? Thanks!
I've got a Squier Telly on my knee as I watch this! Love it! Got it used a couple of years ago in the US for $150.
Adrian, would you be averse to posting a photo on your website showing your amp settings and pedalboard configurations for each of the songs you demonstrate? Possibly also a comment or two on how they contribute to your range of tone. Thanks!
Yes, good idea. Just a question of finding the time to do it. I am trying to include a gear section towards the end of each song video, something I've not done in the past.
Good idea Lee. I have started adding a little gear bit towards the end of my recent song videos, but it might also be nice to have that info on my site. Will see what I can do!
Love the opening riff. That would be a great lesson. Nice playing.
Nice video!
The other great thing about Teles is that they seem to be able to take quite a lot of physical abuse, which is good if you're a bit clumsy. Mine's fallen over several times, and even seems to stay in tune after a slight fall. If I even so much as look at my Casino wrong, it goes out of tune.
I'm thinking about buying one 🤔
Hello what effect pedal/s for the tone at 5:45?
I owned strats , les Paul’s and teles.............If I had to pick my favourite it’s definitely my candy tangerine telecaster.
Nice, it looks like the 52 butterscotch
the action looks high
