How to make ANY Telecaster sound great

[@DanielOakfield]

Finally!!!! I talk about the lack of mids in the Tele for ever but everyone suggests to scoop them instead and boost the high!!! I guess not every Tele has the same response, but I feel my Tele is very much similar to yours, thank you so much, love your channel!

[@veciroker]

Man, there is something magic in your playing. I don't know what it is but you sound so unique.

[@bchant19]

I use the tone knob on my tele a lot I usually run it 3/4 of the way up so it just takes off that bitey treble and ads some more bark. I also have my neck pickup disconnected from the tone knob so switching between it doesn't get muddy and dark. I love the tones you got dial in the video definitely shows that teles rock.

[@shifty473]

I love the piece you play at the beginning.

[@shilesw5324]

Set your pickup height and balance. Start with your tone knob in the middle, adjust your attack and where you are picking the strings and you're good. You don't need pedals or gain to make a tele sound good. Teles do sound good, great actually. The more pedals you add, the more generic your tone gets.

[@cpamiseso]

He's trying to show how to make a tele sound generic in the mix I think, with all that 'even frequency' or 'cutting off highs'. So less pedals for special twangy tone, add pedals for generic tone, I think. Now one tele can really rule them all situations.

[@Gavin-hy2eh]

You put me onto the Moonshine V2 and now my tele is sounding better than ever. That pedal is an absolute blast to play with, so I am for sure gonna keep taking your tone advice my man

[@bastienlinard7530]

really for you as well as Joey ? you recommend the moonshine ? Because of the clean blending as well as it's bump-mid/tubescreamer effect ?

[@jamesthomas70]

Thanks Joey. Sounds good. Gonna go try that with my Nashville.

[@EuclidesCalderon-q6m]

Gran tono, muy bien logrado ,

[@justin_jawn]

Tele secret weapon.. the metal zone

[@EnkiknE]

Very interesting !!! Thanks !!!

[@brianmenard4743]

Joey, your soloing is so riveting. Note selection is amazing! What are your favorite scales or modes to play in? I know you enjoy lower tunings as in C sharp, but you hit notes that are so interesting. Im thinking specifically of your solos of 2024 and maybe even a short you did a while back... when blues meets grunge or something along those lines..... Thanks!

[@6strummin]

Thanks Joey I’m getting my first Telecaster because of YOU 🎸🎸🎸 Keep On Doin’ that thang

[@chrishowitt9654]

I'm pretty happy with my Tele tone as is right now. I use an EHX Soul Food. Wouldn't mind trying a compressor though.

[@rattottiluca6186]

Hey Joey! Loved the video, some great advice here! Is that an impro starting at 0:20? Would love to know the song! Peace!

[@fikri12345able]

I love tele

[@ant_man_ltd]

Great tip about compression, I haven't think about compression that way! By the way, saying about what amp you use (especially in modelers scenario) it's worth to say about cab used (and mic!). I think cab impact on the tone is underevalued by most of guitarists ;)

[@joeyjooones]

You’re correct. It’s a V30 cab with an sm57.

[@z3pp9]

Amazing sound!!! Great tips. Thanks

[@johncollins5552]

Fit a dimarzio humbucker and 50s wiring then flip the control plate, perfect tele.

[@johncollins5552]

This Malcolm Young sound is pretty great though, getting the pickup height in the sweetspot is key before compression etc.

[@AlexVoinotGuitar]

nice video, great Tele tone! I want to get a Diezel VH4 now...

[@MatoMisik]

Thank you 👍 Pleasure to listen your playing 🌈🎸

[@Spike-w5o]

Or straight into a Fender Deluxe and a aggressive attack😮😊

[@rogerYT69]

very cool thx!😊 tips how to get a good sound from bridge pu or middle position would be great too!

[@flmason]

OK, so compressor + tube screamer put the EQ profile of single coil pickups in the PAF range... interesting finding!

[@aminahmed2220]

Awesome video have a great weekend joey and also happy first week of December from Canada ❤😊🇨🇦🎸

[@lesbois53]

Hey Joey. I always loved, and still do the playing of Danny Gatton/ Brad Paisley/Albert Lee sound and style. Then you come along mate!. I love your tone and playing style as well. My American SERIES Tele has always sounded crap. Hence, it’s still brand new condition under the bed! I am looking forward to seeing your video very soon. When I have recovered my Tele that is!

[@lxor4]

can someone tell me what s the name of the song at 3:23 or is it something he came up with?

[@joeyjooones]

My own song ;). Not released yet.

[@michaelmaia1978]

The sound is great of course, but the damn playing is truly phenomenal and impressive. 👌

[@michaeladame1685]

Tele rocks!!! What amp, cab and OD are you using on the FM9?

[@officialWWM]

He literally told you in the video!

[@dkl5557]

I second this request. Sounds great! Would like to try and duplicate!

[@officialWWM]

@@dkl5557 dude, did you even watch the video?

[@mivani84]

Usefull video. Thanks

[@adriandavidpayne]

What riff is that at 8:45 ?

[@joeyjooones]

@@adriandavidpayne main riff from my bands song "NEVERENDER". My band is called Shady Belle. Check it out!

[@adriandavidpayne]

@@joeyjooones Badass!

[@agatzebluz]

Am I wrong or the way your volume pot turns is backwards compared to a standard way ? How do you do that ? Is it a special pot ? It messes with my mind, and you being a lefty adds a layer to that 🙂 BTW I discovered your channel recently I am going in time to the older videos and enjoying it. Great job man !

[@joeyjooones]

Welcome on board! The knob is reversed, because that’s what guitar builders do to left handed guitars - they use right handed pots, so we have to use them in reverse. Not fair, but that’s the world we live in.

[@patmcwilliamsmusic]

Great tele tone and playing, just curious what your TS settings are in this demo. Recently had my 80’s TS9 repaired and loving it.

[@danekaweroa9746]

Is that tele Custom Shop?what year.sounds great tho😊

[@bobkatz9021]

What tubescreamer did you use ? I watched the video twice and could not hear it. Thank you for great video

[@giabgr]

Err...KZbin data compression and audio dynamic compression are completely different things. The KZbin data compression won't mess with audio compression very much.

[@MRxr400]

I have two tele's, but not traditional. both have P90's, one is brighter with a recycled pallet body and the other a custom with a cedar body, fatter tone. Oh and a tele baritone with traditional pick ups.

[@___KS___]

Hello, guitarist brothers. Maybe someone has come across a video on how to make such a sound on the headrush mx5 processor?

[@federicomiglioli]

Hi, what kemper profile you use? Thanks!

[@SoloKrauT]

If Joey Jones offered Kemper Profiles, I would be the first customer. ^^

[@jimmcdougall9973]

Great advice, thank you! Now to get everything on my Kemper to stop sounding so fizzy…

[@joeyjooones]

have fun experimenting!

[@Hbomb731]

Hey Joey, do you have any solo recordings or album I could check out? Your playing is perfectly bad ass! And I’m a Tele player also. Thanks for the tips.

[@joeyjooones]

My band is called Shady Belle. Check it out on Spotify, etc. ;)

[@Hbomb731]

@ hey Joey, I just listened to a few tracks. Excellent!

[@cpamiseso]

Interesting, let me try that with a hotrails one.

[@timjoseph887]

Serious question, dialing in any tele...How much did your Tele cost you?

[@vladimir-meza]

Sounds amazing, but I'm curious, are you using any plugins? because i see the kemper off :)

[@joeyjooones]

Fractal FM9 in this one

[@vladimir-meza]

@@joeyjooones wow !!

[@steveluvbar]

man, what boost did you use ?

[@bundgensfrank1776]

Which amp or kemper profile and IR did you use?:)

[@francesco0185]

He said digital pedalboard (maybe Helix), and Diezel sim.

[@ronmiller9881]

Thanks Joey! A like & subscribe from me, in the first 20 seconds of your intro… 🎸🤘

[@Ic3Ang3l]

Which compressor do you use in the fractal? before or after the amp?

[@joeyjooones]

before.

[@SebastianFourBeatsFaster]

Hey Joey, where in your signal chain do you place your compressor?

[@joeyjooones]

Right in front of everything.

[@SebastianFourBeatsFaster]

Thanks mate. Love your playing!

[@gonmoya]

fu.ck. sounds great! wich tele model is that?

[@joeyjooones]

CS 52 Heavy Relic, the newer looking one in the intro is a player series II. So I did with a cheap and an expensive Telly.

[@gonmoya]

@@joeyjooones fantastic!!!

How to make a Tele sound like Not a Tele🤣

[@bobbaumeister5243]

Diezel Rules !!

[@joeyjooones]

You’re speaking my language.

[@lesbois53]

I have a bunch of compressors. Just going up to get one out of my cupboard! See what happens.

[@joeyjooones]

Go try it! It makes most teles sound much more balanced.

[@bysykler4959]

Adding fudge to my fretboard now. Already sounds sweeter!! Damn, I never thought this would actually work.

[@jburdsinfuse]

Buy a Nobels ODR…done.

[@jimcastile1905]

step 1/1 plug it in

[@gazzie12000]

Disappointed, from the headline I was not expecting these sounds! These are all for overdriven distorted Tele sounds. What about clean sounds? I never play anywhere near that level of overdrive. ie Country, rockabilly style. I think it's much harder to tame and fatten up a really bright Tele bridge pickup when played clean. I have a few Teles and one of them is incredibly difficult to dial in. Any tips?

[@huanton2many]

I thought a tele is an idiot proof guitar. Guess its not the case

[@josecubanosantiago4724]

That 80s hair metal tone is not the best for a tele you want to listen more to Roy Buchanan

[@calebmcqueen6350]

[@FTHKANAME]

[@officialWWM]

I like this guys playing but can’t stand the ridiculous guitar face 🙄

[@joeyjooones]

Go ahead and leave, I’m not offended.

[@jameshicks6990]

Way to go Joey! I love your playing if someone is thinking about facial expressions then they are not concerned about the music! Your playing style and what you are playing is the important thing. I'm watching your hands and picking up on the great licks! I always learn something in all your videos! I really appreciate what you do! Thanks Joey! 🤘😎

[@officialWWM]

@ I have severe ADHD. I find all the ridiculous face pulling very distracting. I like his playing but I don’t think he needs to put on the weird faces 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@joeyjooones]

@@officialWWM It doesn't matter one bit what you think I need to be doing. You can watch, or you can leave. There are no more options, I'm sorry.

[@officialWWM]

@ yep and you can listen to feedback or you can ignore it. It’s a wonderful world we live in 🤷🏻‍♂️
