[@mikeymojo8299]

#TeleWednesday #1952TeleBlackguard 1) Jerry’s Breakdown / Jerry Reed 2) What’s your name / Lynyrd Skynyrd 3) Funk #49 / James Gang (Joe Walsh) that ‘52 is mere perfection. blackguard/butterscotch heaven. awesomeness @markagnesi Hi Jen 🎥🎸

[@ajbowen9371]

Mike M. I think first song is Jerry's Breakdown Jerry Reed

[@max12fisher]

Nice job. I don’t think many could get the first song (including myself) haha

[@mikeymojo8299]

AJ Bowen you are correct, with Chet Atkins 🎸👍🏼

[@zacharyskelton2645]

The first one is Jerry's Breakdown by Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins

[@jacobreece1971]

I can't hear Funk #49 without thinking of Phil X

[@billgelder]

A Tele on a Wednesday? This is going to throw off my whole week.

[@photopicker]

The rock guy pulls out Jerry Reed. Didn't see that coming. Love that guitar. A Tele's Tele.

[@terrancefields4414]

I just recently stumbled across your daily Guitar. It is the BEST! I am 67 and grew up working in Music Retail. Nothing like real examples.

[@StevenAlwine]

My wife asks what's so different about this Tele from the guitar I have out right now? (a Squier Classic Vibe tele) It's the same color and everything! The divorce attorney plus this guitar is going to make for one expensive weekend.

[@lvpg2943]

Don't underestimate the classic vibe tele - they're great guitars. Nothing you can't do with it than you can do with this...except keep it as a retirement investment :-)

[@StevenAlwine]

I love my Classic Vibe. It's an amazing guitar. Only change I've made is strap locks and a Seymour Duncan Hot for Tele neck pickup (needed higher output rhythm playing). But those old Teles are just something else for twang.

[@lvpg2943]

Agreed Steven. I'd love a '60 like Robben Ford's. Until then, I'll stick with my FSR Tele and Greg Koch replacement pickups. The best thing about inexpensive guitars is that you have no fear of modifying them.

[@me-bk9er]

love my cv tele!! put a nocaster in the bridge and a classic 57 in neck. yes, they are routed for a humbucker

[@Glicksman1]

My wife refers to my guitars as "the red one", my 1961 Les Paul S.G, "the yellow one" , my 1952 Telecaster,, etc. What can you do but smile and play guitar?

[@crazyuncleduke8012]

YAY!!! two Tele"s in two days...All is right in the world! Thanks Mark....Thanks Jen....Thanks Mike M.

[@GalacticFederationofLight]

Carlos is an old friend(he wouldn't remember)on Haight St, Hippie Hill back in the 80's, 90's. He is an icon and needs more PR. Thanks for all you do and have done for him and all the homeless with your ongoing support of The Midnight Mission. THANK YOU!

[@bryonkidder6199]

I've been "binge watching" Guitar of the Day...lol I will watch them all at some point in time... :-)

[@rotorhead58d]

this guitar just made my top ten best sounding demo. nice job.

[@mikeymojo8299]

KevinClouser hells yeah. pure blackguard/butterscotch heaven. that bridge coil screams

[@paulgeorgia8013]

i made my annual pilgrimage to Norms Rare Guitars today It resulted in yet another wonderfully gratifying purchase. Thank you Mark, Norm, Jenn, and the rest for another exciting and fun day

[@zachg7356]

Paul G what did you buy?

[@greensombrero3641]

Ahem, what did you acquire?

[@paulgeorgia8013]

Zach G 1978 Gibson Hummingbird

[@paulgeorgia8013]

Green Sombrero 1978 Gibson Hummingbird

[@monzo9999]

Paul G how is it?, people always talk trash about 70’s Gibson acoustics

[@limamarco]

I just turn to this channel just to see this guy playing my favourite songs every time. That's the only thing I can afford at Norman's.

[@olliesound67]

Mark you nailed it and this Tele sounds superb! One of my favourite videos now from NRG

[@DietzCE]

65 years of service. Where has this Tele been. USSR, Germany, UK, Australia, Alaska, Kentucky, West Virginia, Viet Nam? Just think of the people that were entertained by this thing. Millions maybe. The original owner may still be breathing or not. Given it's experiences it may be priceless. But, I have been wrong before.

[@tjzambonischwartz]

I think we all went from six to midnight on that one. Can't get enough of vintage teles.

[@shauny35]

Man and machine in perfect harmoneeeeeeee !!! What a fantastic Tele wow

[@neanderthalsnavel7411]

Thanks for showing this off. Very cool!

[@gregrosplock2058]

It only took 406 episodes for me to get dosed with the best sounding guitar I’ve ever heard. Damn.

[@martinreid1740]

Well played Marc. A really nice old Tele. Great sound from that flat pole.

[@rynemurray1091]

Jerrys breakdown! Such a difficult song ! I love it so much and that was a great attempt mark !👍🏻

[@kennycaligula3081]

Man. I love tha first bit you played. What a great job you have.

[@philbarrows424]

RIP George😇🎸 Yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of my Mom's passing, and she loved the Fab Four! When I was learning guitar, she always asked me to learn a Beetles song ;-)

[@Bodyknowledge77]

It's a back to back tele attack! 1. Picks McNixon "Twangling Weedling" 2.Lynyrd Skynyrd "What's Your Name" 3.James Gang "Funk 49" Yowzers!

That is a beautiful Telecaster. Agree with the change for the neck Pickup. I like it to SOUND! thanks for a great video. It a pity I just really started viewing the channel in earnest.

[@stevecox9871]

That's brilliant Mark thanks. Amp sounds pretty nice too.

[@kolinbenson8877]

[@jamescarter4175]

Wow! Great playing!

[@amylikestheblues3814]

Two tele's in a row :D loving it

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy (non) Weird-Ass Wednesday, wait- another Tele??? You should do a whole week of Teles- get it out of ur system. Hey Mark, let's hear some Robin Trower on STRATURDAY!

[@antoniosalazar6718]

Booo

[@maxwellfan55]

You did this amazing '52 more than justice Mark, love to see a player digging real deep on a Telecaster, showing us what it can do. But, if I owned this I would get your tech to restore it back the original wiring/pickup switch set up. Why? Because this one's a rare original and you don't mess with the best. Get to love the semi muted tone at neck position, play some thumpin' bass, it was there for a reason. Hardened Buchannan fans will recognise the audible 'click' from the amp, enhanced with a little reverb when he switched from middle to bridge position, telling us he was about to make his '52 cry, scream, go places no one else knew. Changing the wiring losses the click. And the vibe. Keep it original, it's how it was meant to be. Peace&Love.

[@johnsmith-bk4ps]

The solders already broken. Changing it back isn't helping to preserve anything

[@davidcheever665]

Absolutely nailed the Walsh guitar licks....dang! The guitar is pure butta! I'll trade you some magic beans for it!!

[@MSmifffy]

Wow. Guitar and Mark's playing 😁

[@copierguy1961A]

Awesome playing today Mark. That finger picking was great. Happy Tele Wednesday!!!

[@promerops]

[@davidmacleod9313]

[@stolenname94]

[@Tony-lv8uh]
