A Fender Telecaster for Metal? Or a Telecaster for Blues? Who'd think both is possible. :) Guitar players tend to have more than one guitar in the household, however, I'll argue the Fender Telecaster (it doesn't even have to be from the Fender Custom Shop) can pretty much do it all. In this video, I'll show how well a Telecaster can cover Rock, Blues and Metal.
Plot twist: It’s the only guitar he could find lefty
lol
😂😂😂
But you can say that with literally ANY guitar. Some people play metal with a strat, blues with an ibanez, rock with P90s, and so on. Your only limitation is your imagination
Thank you! Agree 100%
Facts. And throw that in with nostalgia, biases and attachment issues
Left-handed guitar, computer mouse on the right. This is suspicious.
Haha! I’m just used to it that way! 😂
Confirm. I am left handed Guitarist too, but mouse holding in my right hand ...
This dude has S-tier level guitar "O" faces when playing !
Love the way your setup sits in the mix so well. Cuts through with clarity, and never overpowering or harsh.
I was a Strat guy through and through up till yesterday when I had to sell my most beloved #1 guitar that I could afford - a Fender Road Worn 60s Stratocaster prod 2009 that I bought in 2014 just so that I could put food on the table before I get my next paycheck.
It was the one that made me able to get a job as a part-time session player at a local production studio back then, and appeared in most of the recordings that I played for.
Now that it's in the hands of a new owner, I had to settle with a backup guitar that I bought a few months ago - a knock-off blonde telecaster with a glossy maple fretboard given the brand name SKÖN, a series of guitars that a local music shop in town brought out.
To my surprise, the longing for the strat was not that long as I found the tele to be of better prospect in terms of tones. Like most people said, it really cuts through the mix.
The ashtray bridge design really helps in getting the brawny steel tones compared to a strat. And I'm also surprised that I'm really loving the simplicity of it - just a two single-coil pickup with a three-way switch but able to deliver the necessary familiar tones you need in a song.
The telecaster somehow seemed like a "forced" revelation for me.
That's a great story. Guitar came to me later in life (at 40) but I've been a violinist/violist all of my life. Having played acoustic instruments for 50 years now, things with dials, switches and God forbid, menus....., that stuff is lost on me. The less options, the better! I love Telecasters and their sheer ability to communicate. They are simple and intuitive. They speak and respond brilliantly, literally. It's incredible to me to think how right Leo Fender got it on the very first attempt. It's a huge accomplishment and he wasn't even a musician.
I am sorry you lost your beloved Strat but I am happy you've found your true love.
@@jlunch we're on the same boat! I hate dealing with too many switches, menus, etc that takes a lot of my time before I could even play the thing. I'm not even 40 yet but I really prefer simplicity at this age 😄.
Yeah it's amazing that Leo Fender who's not even a guitar player could come up with brilliant designs on both Teles and Strats from the get-go!

PS: the middle position is the best on a Telecaster
I threw a Hot Rails in to the bridge of my '99 MIM standard Tele around 20 years ago. It has since had some resistors upgraded/wiring done to balance out the high output bridge and stock neck pickup. Indeed the middle position is where it's at for me 90+ percent of the time too...
@@jesseregenauer630 the middle is the best on Telecaster
Can play anything on it
Heard a lot of rock…. Still waiting for blues and definitely waiting for the metal.
For the record, he isn’t wrong it’s a great guitar for all just didn’t play all
Do not forget that the speaker used can be very important. Important to match good speaker with good amps. A brighter amp can be tamed with darker sounding speakers... 😊
Joey, you are such a TELE LOVER and expert, why don't you make a video trying to find a super awesome Tele Guitar from Fender and other brands that are a way are be closer to your Tele, not everyone can afford your Tele? that will be an amazing video!
I used to assume that the tele bridge pickup would be thinner and brighter than the Strat bridge. In my experience (playing 40 years) the tele bridge has more balls and is not as thin and bright as the Strat. I like Strats but prefer teles. The Strat layout is crowded and the middle pickup is in the way of my picking hand and I hit the pickup selector and volume button by accident frequently. I have to focus on my playing on a Strat more (which isn’t a bad thing) but everything on a tele works for me.
Hello, as a Fender Professional Telecaster user, I have a question for you. How can you control single coil noise at high gains? Can you explain this in a video? Thanks in advance, cheers ❣
If you play single coils regularly, you just ignore it... Or turn the volume down between songs.
Nice sound man . Well balanced , with guitar being voiced . With that I heard Rock , Rock , then hard Rock .
8:06 Classical music? Come on, I hope you're kidding! ruclips.net/video/CqdL36VKbMQ/видео.htmlsi=_aY_IkFZsokQy4YB&t=216
But... You can get 99.9% of any tone/sound from ANY guitar because of the pedals/modelling/amps. it's just the playability of the instrument that's different. And by the way, you're playing the guitar the wrong way round.
Hi Joey, you heard it many times but your tone is awesome ! But they say « it is in your fingers » so yes your playing is great. Musicality, accuracy and in the pocket 👍 I watched your last video and the 3 advices to get your tone. Still working on it…as I cannot tweak my fingers or get new ones 😂 Keep rockin’ 🤘
What other amps are considered dark-sounding? I guess Marshalls are not, Fenders definitely are not.
I truly believe you make the most beautiful music in the entire world, you are incredible
totally agree Joey, I was a Les Paul guy for majority of my life until I got a tele and was like wow this thing can do EVERYTHING!!! love your vids and style of playing man!!!!
try telling this to the many les paul users world wide..not to mention the strat club
You give great examples of differing genres, but it's all rock to me.
Really inspiring tones. Just picked up a FCS 1951 Nocaster ( Journeyman Relic) and it's amazing in every way. Wasn't a Tele guy until I found this one.
You look like mark Zuckerberg
Rude.
Great guitar playing!
But your meral doesn't sound like metal. It sounds pretty good, but it does not sound like metal.
We all know the amp/mic does all the heavy lifting (or even sims now days)
Cool :) Which fretwires are on your tele?
Really sweet tone and licks! But that wasn't exactly what I'd call metal🤷♂️
Do you have the ‘51 series Fender vintage pick ups?
The similarities are too close. Are you the guy from the Kill Tony episode?
Mines a 1986 Kramer Stagemaster Custom. Does it all! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What's the first song he played
I'm glad you're not one of these Tele players who only plays chords. You know, when they play a few chords in a song and then the Tele becomes basically a prop, or a piece of scenery and isnt taking a prominent place in the song. You play the hell out of it and that's refreshing.
Best licks every time and best tone every time
Is that a different tuning on the first rock clip?
You can do all that with most guitars now a days... 💩
Übst Du die Grimassen eigentlich vor dem Spiegel ? Ansonsten hast Du völlig recht, Telecaster rules !!
I couldn't find anything mentioned or suggested about using the two little knobs on the guitar. Learn how to use them and broaden your horizons. They actually do stuff.
I don't know why so many guitarists seem to have an aversion to using the guitar's controls.
They'd rather fork out for boost and EQ pedals, or even a whole new amp when often they could get the same result by just tweaking the volume and tone controls a little bit.
Tabs for that metal riff?
fiiiiiiiiireeeeeeeeeee
is there a volume control for the guitar faces?
Hey Joey, do you know the pickup model in your 52 RI? I got a tele made by a local luthier here in Montreal and while it is amazing the pickups are a bit much on the brighter side! Keep them videos coming man!
great sound but thats not metal
Ótimo vídeo!!!
Muito bom!
Absolutely brilliant my brother! I totally appreciate what you have shared.
Love,
Bash K
why do you flip your thumbnails so it shows you as a right-handed player? does the algorithm not like lefties?
It’s usually because then I have space for text on the left side, which is good so it doesn’t get cob er es by the time box in the thumbnail.
Glassy Neck Pickup.... that's the Fender CS "Twisted Tele" Pickup in your guitar. Classic/Vintage Tele Neck pups don't sound like that... they're a bit "meh". Agree 100% everything you said. "Twisted Tele" Neck Pickup is probably the biggest single improvement to the Tele in the last 70 years.
What if you want to dive bomb. Guess you will need a digi whammy since ya only got 1 guitar..
Ever hear of the band Pelican? Your metal tone (great tone!):sounds a lot like theirs (B standard on an SG)
I listened to about 10 seconds of you playing and subscribed! Absolutely awesome playing and tone. Love it. I need a tele in my life!
Sad
1. level of playing are amazing.
2. Have own tele, but for metal riffs tele is a bad idea))
Yes, you can play lead in every genre but quality metal riffs tele cannot produce
The metal clip sounds like the band big wreck ;)awesome tone
Not really metal
Funny, I have a Carbon X.
It's a 90's made Brazilian pedal.
If James McAvoy played guitar. Awesome playing man.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Joey also Saturday is my friends birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Kool I like the tele a lot, my fist album was Red Bone back in the early 70's they played with Fenders Tele and the Strat/bass and lead. Nice to find fellow lefties out there.

Get a set of Joe Bardens. Problem solved! Danny Gatton used them. Good enough for me!
Always a Tele…. My very 1st guitar! 72! …..sadly I wish I still had it…. So I got another one!
Great video man! Danke Schon! However, can you tell me the perfect telecaster formula? Like ash body, ash tray bridge, pickup? etc.... Bitte, Danke!
Fellow Telecaster owner. Yeah, I would agree. But what about the hum on my Fender American Pro II Tele?
Well, I'm not bothered by it, since owning noise gate, but it cuts off the sustain.
Les Paul has more sustain, though.
That's my cognitive dissonance, after I hear Telecasters are versatile. I guess I must have complexes.
haha, no! all very relatable. The hum is a thing, but a noise get and a "set and forget" setting is all we need to solve that. :)
@@joeyjooones I play metal with a Tele and I always think I'm the weird one.
@@olganesterowicz2112dude I’ve already played about an hour’s worth of Metallica since getting my first Telecaster about a week ago.
I have changed the neck with a baritone one and "she" is perfect for Progressive Metal
Good video young man. A Telecaster is the best guitar that's why I own and play 3 plus a Roadcaster of which I built myself. All 4 have different pickup configurations but still sound like a Tele plus more.
I recommend all Billy Talent albums for a perfect Telecaster rock sound. Also listen to Axxis - Matters of survival album. Best Telecaster sound I ever heard in the whole album, especially the solos
I bought a prof tel II, combined it with a tonemaster twin reverb. In my eyes, clean really awesome…but a bit messy on a overdrive pedal like the boss ds1w (waza craft)…any thoughts on how to reach a richer heavier sound in overdrive, without buying a mesa boogie? 😅
Sounds like you don’t like the drive sound of fenders in general, in which case I’d get an "amp in a box" kind of pedal with its own character, so you can have the nice fender cleans and I.e. a Marshall sound through a pedal?
@@joeyjooones could the ‘mesa throttle box’ do the job in your opinion?
@@gaborhusson1921 no way for me to know, I don't know what sound you're after. Probably best to try a couple things, maybe order from Sweetwater and send everything back you didn't like ;)
Tonemaster is a solid state. Keep in mind you won’t get those luscious tube tones. Sell it get a Deville or as you said a Mesa rectifier
Maybe the Boss Katana 3 can give you better luck without having to drop the kind of money those Mesas go for?
Can u pls list out of all the equipment’s required other than the guitar
1 guitar I agree but I do it all on a 335.
Nice videos and better playing . You rock . Could you please let me know the part number for the Broadcaster Pickup . It’s blurry on the video
I was a strat and les paul guy but if I have to choose one thats the tele.
Blastphemy Joey! Im somewhere around 17 guitars at the moment and still not sure if thats the right number lol. Great content as usual Joey! 🤘
2:07 magically your guitar is gone 😮
Some hardcore face movements.. 😂 teles rule.
For metal clearly not working…
The best amp for a tele is a vox ac15 with a greenback
Your vibrato looks nervous
Love your "Rock" riff. Epic my brotha!
same but need an additional one with a floyd.
Did you keep the same pickups that came with the guitar when you bought it ?
Awesome video!! New subscriber!!
Joey do you have a tab for that blues solo? My favorite track of yours
What's your signal chain for the tones?
Well done!! Telecasters rule!!
So pretty
Hay Joey with high gain how are you sounding so clean with single coils? I already knew the Tele gets those sounds but the problem is the buzz, noise and 60 cycle hum so like are you using a huge noise gate? Copper shielding? Your sound is so clean dude!!
I use the standard Kemper Noise Gate for some of these!
@@joeyjooones ok awesome thank you. You sound awesome man !!
Bro you have great vibrato
Now THAT is a guitar face!
That’s not metal 😆
There’s more out there than chug-chug metal.
Lmao, this guy plays a "butterscotch" '52 tele... he probably thinks Nickleback is brutal death metal. Give him a break! 🤣
that second sound is one ive been trying to get forever omg
For me, Les paul
I like Telecasters, but I hardly even have seen anybody playing Metal on a Telecaster. Not even any convincing Hard-Rock. If you tell the same about a Les Paul with PAF's, I agreed more.
Also Tele pickups can sound verys different, you can get a completely muddy neck pickup sound or a good one, or a too thin, shrill bridge pickup sound or a nicely balanced one. Not to speak of the pickup noise and other arguments.
I play metal on a Tele.
@@olganesterowicz2112 With vintage single coils or with humbuckers or anything else?
@@HEZ63 With V-mod II pickups.
@@HEZ63I play metal on a standard Telecaster. What matters more is what your signal chain is and how you’ve dialed your amp.
But… will it chug?🤔 😅
Only one way to find out!
Your tele tone is amazing. If I could get my Tele to sound like that I wouldn't need another guitar.
Thank you, but I’m sure you could get there - it’s not rocket science! 🙏🏻
@@joeyjooones But it is, rock science!
Just use compression, and push the mids on your amp.
It's actually super easy to get humbucker style tones out of a tele
Tele pickups have a characteristic midrange bark. You want to let this come all the way through your amp, so crank that mid dial! 😎
ur blues was not really bluesie... it was too telli, maybe riff was unfortunate... well actually ur metal wasn't metal at all, probably because ur pedal was too boutique, a regular MT will do the job waaaay better
Great tone and playing Joey!
No. It doesn’t.
Yes. It does.
@@joeyjooonesThe traditional will not do modern metal. I am a Tele player. Only my humbucker Teles will do it. His example is a rock sound, NOT modern metal at all. Heavy processing helps, massive noisegates, can do a 1982 version of “metal” about it. Modern/extreme metal just can’t.
@@jjschulz3472 who said it does "modern metal"?
@@joeyjooonesSays one guitar to cover every genre. Would not want someone buying one under a false premise. Low to medium gain applications work. Where it stops.
ugh Tele.....never
it still has that tele twang! which is why i would'nt use a tele for anything
other than country music.
Fair enough. I love it!
rage against the machine doesnt sound that twangy to me, depends on how you play it
@@MariJu1ceyep but Tom Morello usually uses the neck pick up
Bro you're one of the greatest guitarists I've ever seen! How come you aren't famous? Bro you're >GREAT!
Les Paul for the heavy Tele for everything rlse . Page realized the power of the humbucker and never looked back . Not a lot of guys chugging heaven stuff on a single coil but it’s not like it’s a bad sound and can’t be done . Can’t thing of many single coil metal guys since Ritchie Blackmore and early Page . Malmsteen is still tossing salads with one
