Doom Metal Guitars: Telecaster

[@ryanjohnson3572]

You are like the bob Ross of doom

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Fun fact, Bob Ross was a career drill sergeant 😂 Ironically before painting his career was screaming at people. What a trip! Thank you for watching Brent really hope you enjoy the videos.

Here's a happy little riff, it's ok if you get a wrong note, they're just happy little accidents, you'll get it right next time!

[@jordanmayer5932]

Couldn't agree more with this comment

[@KickYouInTheThroat]

And here we just have a happy little arpeggio

[@EricMerrow]

I feel like this should be the top comment for every Fuzzlord Effects video! 😂

[@Fusso]

Baroness uses a pure stock telecaster with single coils, and they sound HUGE

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Hell yeah!

[@omarsharif927]

What's the setup if you know thx

[@Fusso]

@@omarsharif927 they have a rig rundown, just search Baroness Rig Rundown. The pedalboard looks like a space station.

[@claesvanoldenphatt9972]

Muddy Waters! I play a B16-ized Tele with Fender Texas Special pickups. I string 12 or 13 flatwounds (Pyramid Gold!!!) and found that C standard tuning works really well for this axe strung this way. I have the Oake-Griggs 4-way switch too. Tele pickups sound great with all amounts of fuzz and overdrive. Bridge pickup has huge girth by itself. Vintage Fender guitars are perfectly adaptable to heavy music.

[@Fusso]

@@claesvanoldenphatt9972 Sup dude, tell me something. I have a guitar with a Bigsby and it doesn't keep tuning like EVER. Also, how you deal with the noise? My tele is awesome, but after a fuzz, a boost and an overdrive, it sounds like a storm is raging on my amp.

[@TheMountainKing]

What I love here, is the diversity, that is created throughout the scene, when you think yourself about your own gear. I also play a telecaster for doom and an old ibanez Am 50 with hollow body. It works, the sounds are different and amazing. It always helps to create a sound you love for yourself first before showing it to others

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Glad you dig the video! Totally understand what you mean. Thanks for watching!

Fun fact, Soundgarden used to use teles for their down tuned tracks. Always sounded big but clear.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

So cool! Thank you for sharing Tom!

[@lucasstoll5387]

Just added a comment about the live use of teles on "mailman", looks like you already addressed this. Theres a live version of "mailman" from red rocks that sounds mega heavy.

[@simoneburini4036]

Lucas Stoll just did the same lol

[@FistOfRuin]

RAT distortion!!

[@Elduderino1999]

According to Kim’s tech they really started using tele’s sound the recording of down on the upside, Chris used them more in the early days some.

[@matheaudodds787]

Joe Duplantier of Gojira uses Teles in a lot of things. He actually made me open my mind to them!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Nice!

[@stevedoom844]

Same

[@SplitSauce2289]

He kind of plays a tele. Everything outside of the body shape, head stock shape, and scale length isn't tele at all. It's like a frankenstein telecaster/les paul. I highly recommend the Duplantier signature. It's an excellent guitar.

[@poleckrzysztof]

@@SplitSauce2289 For stage he uses his signature with humbs, but in studio he often uses single coils ;). There is a video where he teaches some songs using single coil tele that sounds heavy asf.

[@aleksifradet1654]

Syd Barrett’s influence and brilliance is extremely underrated.

[@ryanerstad6001]

I have a thrown together parts tele with just a p90 in the bridge and it sounds great for doom, drone and sludge metal. I normally keep it in Dstandard and drop C

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Nice!

[@jamesstonehouse3448]

I remember seeing Soundgarden in the mid 90s when they toured Down on the Upside and both Kim Thayil and Chris Cornell used Teles on a number of songs. Still sounded heavy!

@@FuzzlordEffects Of course you're from Oregon, lol. Greetings from Portland. Great video.

[@serdiezv]

The thing with the Telecaster Deluxe, the one the guitarist from Bongripper uses, is they have Wide Range humbuckers, which are amazing cause they're the perfect middle ground between humbuckers and single coils. They are more similar to two telecaster pickups wired in series, instead of the regular humbucker which is more similar to a P90. So they have more attack than the regular humbucker, and a wider range both in lows and highs, as the name implies. They're my favourite pickups.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Nice! Thanks for the info!

[@danbaker90]

thats muddy waters. my favorite is jimmy page. blew my mind when i found out he didnt always play a les paul and real opened my eyes to the fact that most of your sound comes from the amp and pedals.

[@drittal]

Jimmy Page. His best stuff was done on a Tele that he inherited from Jeff Beck.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

So true!

[@joshuadelsaraza4782]

If only someone didn't repainted his original Tele

[@DownUFO]

I feel like people dismiss single coils as sounding “small”, but what they miss is that due to how expressive single coils are, it means that your tone is only as powerful as your playing. It all translates through from your hands much more clearly, so you can really get some expressive and crushing sound.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Totally agree

[@ancientskin]

DownUFO this is the truth right here!

[@benjohnson2312]

Learned this the hard way after selling my tele for an sg :(

[@Pteradigm]

Hello from Australia, has anyone mentioned Roy Buchanan yet? He’s easily my favourite Tele player, brought a lot of new techniques to the table that are staple to most players today. Amazing blues player, RIP. I never thought my Tele esquire would give me the right sound for this kind of thing, but after this I think it’s time to tune my single coil fenders down a few steps and see where it takes me...

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Check out the comments (: He seems to be loved my many 💜

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Very cool! Thanks for watching and sharing! Cheers!

[@misterknightowlandco]

The Snowman was awesome.

[@nicksawyer5920]

I think early Tele's had different wiring as well; you get a tone cut with the selector in the neck position, tone knob give it a more low-endy (technical term) feel, apparently it's called the "dark circuit", middle is neck w/o the cut and the bridge position gives you both p-ups at the same time with the tone as a blend between the two (0 for neck and vice versa) which I always thought was quite cool. There are so many Tele players to choose a favourite but a high mention has to go to James Burton.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

I’ll have to look up that diagram! Cheers

[@loudspeaker003]

Hello from sunny California! Favorite Tele player: Jonny Greenwood, easily. Theres so much innovation he brought to the guitar world with his playing, effects use, as well as the modifications he had done to his telecater plus. Hard to think of a telecaster without thinking of him. Honorable mention goes to Graham Coxon of Blur for many of the same reasons as Jonny.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Great additions to the list Nick!!!

[@loudspeaker003]

Fuzzlord Effects thanks man 🙏 also, Would love your thoughts on Jazzmasters for Stoner/doom music. Can’t think of many players myself who use them in that style.

[@leviriffee2818]

Im Levi Riffee from here in Aurora , Colorado. Jimmy page is the one that really got me into the telecaster. At first I never was aware he was using his now Iconic telecaster on the first Led Zeppelin album. Its just amazing. Also I own to telecaster style guitars . One is from Jericho Guitars which is called the fusion. Its very heavy cuz its a Walnut body guitar. but its one of the best guitars I played. It has seymour Duncan 59 neck and JB bridge pickups both with coil splitting both with 2 Volume and Tone Controls. Neck is 25.75 inch scale. Then my other one is from hardluckkings which is black with rosewood board , alder body, also company made Alnico 5 high output single coil pickups with shared volume and tone control . 25.5 in scale. Both my guitars Doom very well . Im proud to have both of them.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

I was sold on black with rosewood board! Cheers Levi and thanks for watching!

[@RoachDoggJr2112]

I saw Uncle Acid live in Baltimore this past November. The other guitarist, who's name escapes me, was using a stock Stratocaster. It even had three single coils! It was sick, honestly. And IIRC, both of them were plugged into Fender amps. Really interesting!

[@jjg5193]

Chris Spencer from Unsane and The Cutthroats 9 plays some really, really heavy riffs on a tele. I think he just goes direct into an old Marshall. Also, I think I’ve seen Dylan Carlson play a telecaster or a baritone tele or something that resembles a tele, but that’s a hazy memory, as all Earth memories should be. The space rock part you played in the middle of the vid and the doom riffs at the end (second pedal especially) sounded great.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Badass!!!!! Telecaster is such a great guitar 🦇

[@jagermeister830]

Nice name drop my man. Favorite (modern) players of Teles are John Baizley and Gina Gleason(Baroness), John 5, Greg Koch, and Stephen Carpenter. Straight outta Jersey Love the content❤️🤘

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Thank you so much!

[@JordanSeal]

Late to the party, but fantastic video. I dreamed of owning a telecaster from the moment I saw Jimmy Page playing one in the footage from the Danmarks special in 1969. Though I often lust for other sounds, I always come back to it: once you love a tele bridge pickup, it's hard for other sounds to compete.

[@strazburg]

Been using a tele for stoner/doom stuff for a while and its great! The Tele is such a versatile guitar.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

They are so great and often overlooked (: Glad I am not only one who loves them 💜

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

I put my Tele copy thru an Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold, rolled off the tone control nearly all the way, and it sounds massive. I love using single coils for doomy metal.

[@rossscarbro4602]

In my opinion, most of the modern “metal” guitars have pick ups that are very high output and often times they have floating bridges. Neither one in my opinion is great for doom. I think a string through body is best for resonance and Ideally for doom or stoner rock you want medium output pick ups. We’re not playing super tight tremolo picked riffs nor are we dive bombing with a Floyd Rose.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Totally agree and been working on some medium output Alnico III humbuckers with a custom builder in hopes of offering them soon.

[@SvenTviking]

This is what pisses me off about modern metal and all the genres bullshit. If your band gets labelled to a genre, you can’t play what you want. It was all just metal when I was young. Then middle class nerds got into it and they, all being “on the spectrum”, started making lists, didn’t they?

[@chilidem]

Why can't you divebomb in doom though?

[@henriquemontalvao8492]

Can you at least chug in doom?

[@ok_fb]

@@chilidem how will you dive with that small amount of tension on the strings?

One of my favorite Tele players is Benjamin Burnley. He played a Tele in the early days of Breaking Benjamin, and one on Saturate. By the time the music video for Polyamorous was done he had already switched to PRS. There’s a live video of the song Water where he uses a tele

[@TheDemolitionKings]

Single coils are killer for downtuneing and fuzz. I prefer them over buckers for the guitar that needs to stand out in the song.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Good point!

[@reecelassiter126]

Got my first tele today, I’m pretty blown away at the versatility of this thing. Mexican player series in white. I love it

[@alexanderpotts8425]

I believe the first couple Wounded Kings albums were recorded with a stock Tele plugged direct into an old Laney amp. The second album especially has a massive, massive tone.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Nice!

[@Slade2Rest]

Hey man. Watching here in Huntsville Alabama. Love this channel so fucking much! I have been obsessed with listening and playing doom for years. Doom and stoner rock are types of music that come most naturally to me. No matter what I sit down to play I always end up with that vibe lol. But when I think of telecaster style guitars in heavier music I have to go with one of my favorite bands, Baroness. John Baizley has played G&L ASATs for years now and recently has moved over to strats and jazz masters. The other guitarist who is the newest member to the band is Gina Gleason. She plays a white American standard tele and also has a custom G&L ASAT when they put fuzzes through those guitars it is a killer sound live. Lots of clarity and cuts through the mix beautifully. They are one of the lightest bands I like but if you ever get a chance to see them live then you have to go. The sound is awesome!

[@nheto666]

My HH tele is my go to Stoner guitar, love it. It's a testament to Leo's genious such an old design holding that well against it's contemporaries especially when playing "modern" genres such as Doom and Stoner. My favorite tele player has to be Jimmy Page.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Leo was a total genius (:

[@Tyler-rf5sg]

Holy crap, dude. I’ve been playing guitar on and off for about 10 years now, I started when I was 14 and I’m almost 25 now, and it has ALWAYS just been a side hobby of mine so I never got into the deep weeds of technical jargon. If I liked how a guitar looked, I would just get it. You breaking down the whole scale length between a telecaster and a Gibson is awesome

I never rated teles until a few years ago, when someone offered me an American Vintage '72 custom for an 8-string that I bought in a moment of madness. I fell in love with it instantly. It's so much fun to play. I really like that this one has a humbucker in the neck and single coil in the brdge.

There’s nothing a Tele can’t do!!!! I dismissed it as a country guitar until I heard Keith Richards. Then I heard Ed Bickert play jazz on it and was blown away! I own Teles but thought I had to pull the trigger for an SG. Thank you Jason!!

[@mosesgarner2404]

When I was much younger (I'm 44) I thought and totally bought into the wives tale stories of certain guitars being used only for certain types/genres of music. At some point I realized that way of thinking was BS. I've now seen players using a Tele for just about every style of playing and it sounds just as good as any other brand and or style. Sure a Tele still sounds amazing playing blues and country licks and rightfully so but the Tele can be a very versatile sounding guitar with the right setup of equipment. Favorite guitarist who used a Tele? Terry Kath, Jeff Beck and John 5

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Hell yeah! It’s all about how you use them 💚

[@logcabinday42]

Whaddup from Milwaukee, Wisconsin! I’m a tele player and I’ve been getting into doom metal recently. I agree, the clarity and high focus of single coils work well for me with high gain. This video gave me the confirmation bias I needed lol! Love the vid!

Reporting in from BC, Canada. Probably the one guy who got me to realize how cool Teles are is Dylan Carlson of Earth. I'm not actually a fan of the earlier fuzzed out stuff (I'm actually not really a doom/drone fan in general honestly. Yeah, I'll show myself out 🙀) but the Hex album absolutely changed my life and I've loved everything hes done since. Seeing him play these things, particularly what can be done with an inexpensive Squier is what got me on the Tele train.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Good thing we are all into stoner and ambient stuff also. Was just listening to Dylan Carlson in the shop this week 💚

[@LxE9799]

Fender fanboy here, haha. I use a telecaster in one of my bands, while the other guitar player uses a les paul - both through Orange TH50 amps. We play something between post metal and sludge and usually tune to either CGCFAC or AGCFAC. Gotta say, I really like how those two completely different guitar sounds balance each other so well...my chimey, bell-like tone cuts through wonderfully especially during leads, while the les paul gives all the fat and beefiness underneath. The slightly longer scale length also helps a lot with all the tuning changes, this guitar really feels like it can handle everything. Great video!

[@billyluttrell6313]

I've been gigging/touring with dual humbucker teles for a few years now. Still get odd looks from people till they hear em. I use a hybrid tuning but my low is G#. Steve Von Till is my favorite tele player.

Absolutely! Tele’s are great for this genre. My favorite guitar player Steph Carpenter from Deftones, has been playing 7-8 string T-types for years.Rabea Massaad from Toska has an awesome T-type sig with a Bare Knuckle Warpig in the bridge, and it makes for some brutal riffage. I also got just an American tele special a couple years ago that I use for a lot of genres of music. It’s one of my most versatile guitars. I find teles have this chug that you just can’t get out of a strat, or an SG. Though, I love my Gibson Sg just as much. It’s just the tele is great for heavy riffs that thing is just a rock/metal machine.

[@nicholasrella2767]

I was just about to mention the guy from Bongripper. They’re my favorite band right now. I spoke to him the last time they came to NY. Really nice guys. I believe the dude with the Tele is Dennis. The thing about the Tele in Bongripper is the contrast in texture from the other guitar. The other guitarist Nick plays an Aluminum LP style EGC & he used to use a Gibson LP. These guitars have totally different tones that blend well together to give them their massive sound. It makes sense instead of having two guitars with similar tones. What a lot of people don’t realize is that Jimmy Page used a Tele on most of Zeppelins recordings. He only used the LP live. One of my favorite Tele players is Andy Summers.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Those two make such a massive sound together!

I doom regularly on my tele in a standard

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Hell yeah!

I'm watching from Culver City, California. Muddy Waters is the stage name of McKinley Morganfield. My favorite guitarist who used a Fender Telecaster is the late blues shredder, Roy Buchanan. His radical use of pinch harmonics is a sight to behold. Thanks.

Cheers!

Do Stratocaster next

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Just sold mine. Maybe one day if I get another 💜

[@garretpietila5812]

Or one on hollowbody guitars?

Envy are a Japanese screamo/post-rock/post metal-ISH band who are the sole reason for me liking teles(and similar guitars). Over the years they've used Teles and ASATs into dual recs and they sound huge. Interestingly enough I don't think they've ever really gone full blown metal type distortion cuz I can still hear the clarity and natural tone of their guitars. More of a naturally driven sound, I guess. Super sick sounds. Also, Baroness have written some of my favorite rock/metal riffs ever and nowadays they use teles, jazzmasters, and strats into small fender combos. Tone be hittin different.

Cheers Taimir I’ll have to check out ENVY! Thanks for watching!

The end of I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles (I consider the first real doom metal song) was done on George Harrison's Rosewood Tele in Drop D.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Great song!

My strat with SD Fury pickups is an absolute mammoth at low tuning. Like the Tele, it features 25.5" scale and the pickup is really good for sludgy low end and gaining clarity as the notes get higher. Whether it's Sabbath at C# or some Drop A stuff, it's got a sound I think works really well in the mix but manages to stand out and not get totally lost.

I was going to hit the "Like" button but it was at 666 and didn't want to be the guy to bring it to 667. I love the video!!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Totally hahaha!

[@ThePunkPatriot]

I started pairing my telecaster with a behringer SF300 and I gotta say, it sounds amazing for doom in a way that I did not expect

[@SimAlex20000]

J Mascis and Dean DeLeo use teles all the time and they sound maaaaaasive live. Teles rightly have a rep for being slinky or quacky , but with a loud amp, overdrive and-or fuzz, the tele roars

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Totally!! Thanks for watching Alex

[@eliwebster509]

I was actually thinking about this recently because I got a telecaster on labor day for dirt cheap. Usually play rock but I love everything from outlaw to punk. Teles are so versatile.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Thanks for watching! Tele's are ultra-versatile!
