One of the best sound comparison I have ever seen. You guys are are good! No talking all playing. Covered many genres. Keep it up! 👍🏻

[@PeteVinniePlay]

thank you for the kind words Mark!

[@raugusto0]

The part that had the biggest difference (to me at least) was the funk section, probably because the middle position is the one that differs the most between the two guitars.

[@PeteVinniePlay]

yeah, the strat has the out of phase position! well spotted!

[@CrazyHenkie777]

@@PeteVinniePlay You can't beat the middle position on the Tele when it comes to playing funk imho.

[@GuitarIv69]

It's fascinating what a difference the bridge pickup on a Telecaster makes. I love the Strat when others play it well, but for my style nothing beats the Telecaster. Good video!

“And now we shall battle” 🤘

[@Hsals96]

Amazing guys. You delivered a broad variety of different genres and styles, which really helped to hear the differences of the guitars

[@PeteVinniePlay]

Thanks a lot! Really glad you enjoyed the video, that's exactly what we were trying to do, showcase the raw tonal differences between the strat and tele in a range of different styles/genres.

[@Seanhy5]

Brilliant video. Great demonstration. Superb playing as usual. Keep the great channel going 👍🏻

[@PeteVinniePlay]

thank you for the kind words Sean!

[@HeyJoeyYea]

THANK YOU ! , best tele - strat battle around . full spectrum genre and amazing players .

[@EddieMetal68]

A tele tem som mais cristalino e definido. A stratocaster é mais "rouca", mas acho a stratocaster mais versátil, principalmente quando é instalado um mod para ligar os captadores da ponte+braço!

[@savio2544]

Gostei da sua percepção podemos dizer assim comentário interessante e que faz total sentido eu comprei uma guitarra na internet e chegou hj msm nova uma strato eu n sei tocar ainda mas desde que comecei a entra nesse mundo das guitarras eu sempre quiz ter uma strato desde que tinha 4 anos

[@JayleenInChains]

It's amazing to see what i want to watch about a certain subject at my favorite guitar channel! Keep it up love your vids

[@PeteVinniePlay]

Hey Ceylin! We are really glad you found the video useful, and are honoured to be your favourite guitar channel :)

You guys are so cool. God damn this guys deserve more sub !

thanks a lot Burak, let's hope more people find us :D

telecaster versatile guitar

[@domingogp]

Both are great an beautiful axes! Loved that kinda RATM intro! 🤘🏼Nice week guys!

[@PeteVinniePlay]

hey Domingo, yes we did think that sounds a bit like RATM! thanks for watching and hope you're all good!

[@domingogp]

@@PeteVinniePlay Thanks God everything is fine, and it seems is the same with you both. Take care!

[@MiterAlmeida]

Amazing! You guys are awesome! Its trully amazing to come to your channel and see how passionate both of you are about guitar and how much fun you all seem to be having! Its inspiring seeing folks creating content on youtube for love! keep it up guys! One video that I think would be amazing to have would be “tiers of practice”. Imagine providing suggestion for folks that range from 30 min/daily to up to 5 hours daily (1, 2,3 4 and 5). How would you suggest each one of them to divide their time if their ultimate goal would be to be able to play prog and fusion pieces.

[@Letmb]

amazing video!! its the tele for me ❤️

[@pabloluanGuitar]

Nice vídeo! Great play for boths

[@marinotomas]

Love the channel! subscribing right now

[@rex-rant4322]

Both sound great. The strat seems brighter and a little more versatile. Might be just me. You guys are talented.

[@leonardoleal5092]

Is Vinnie right arm tattoo sleeve Japanese style? Nice vid, lads, as always, I’m personally more of a strat guy, but Teles are just as amazing.

[@PeteVinniePlay]

hey Leonardo, yes, it's kinda a mix between black n' grey and japanese vibes. Thanks for watching mate!

[@mgalanlevy]

Very Nice!!!!

[@stingraydelgadillo60]

Hello my brother's. Great video as always. Man that's a hard call to make since I love both the Strat and the Tele, I'll put it out there this way, on the slower more softer tunes I thought the Tele sounded so sweet and the faster and funkier jams the Strat a little better maybe. They both sounded killer and both your playing was phenomenal as always. Hope you both are doing well and staying safe. Rock on brothers.

[@PeteVinniePlay]

hey Stingray, that's a great point! thank you for watching and hope all is good over your neck of the woods!

Eu curti mais o son da telecaster, braba demais !!

Wonderful players

Congratulation a great vídeo. Top

[@PeteVinniePlay]

thanks Marcos! valeu!

[@leonardoaraujo4373]

Muito bom! Parabéns!!!

[@MrBouledecul]

To me, the biggest difference is in the sustain. The notes fade away faster on a strat, but nothing funks like it.

[@bobyrockandgeek]

Whoah!! Chimia ???

[@TheYankees36]

I could never choose between the 2 which is why I own both. What model Strat and Tele are those?

[@PedroLLeao]

Massa! Se fosse teste cego provavelmente só iria conseguir distinguir os modelos na parte Funk por conta do Braço/Ponte Tele. A dúvida que fica é: Se a Strat tivesse Treble Blend e ficasse Braço/Ponte tbm, eu conseguiria distinguir? Meu palpite é de que não. Ao menos eu não hahaha

[@PeteVinniePlay]

pois é, é muito sutil né. depois de uma certa quantidade de ganho fica mais difícil ainda! valeu!

[@rafagst007]

O som das duas é animal, mas, por questão de versatilidade, na minha opinião a Strat se sai melhor

[@idontgivea1769]

Strat is warmer, Tele is “stiffer” sounding

[@guilhermedefreitas2555]

Cara, duas belas guitarras, mas não sou muito fã da Tele, principalmente se for tocar um show inteiro com ela, não é muito confortável. Além do que, ao meu ver, o som dela é muito voltado pro country. E concordo que a Strato é mais versátil. No geral, são duas belas guitarras, e vocês são TOP!

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

eu acho que o conforto têm a ver com o seu corpo, cada pessoa têm um biotipo e medidas de corpo, aí qual guitarra ser mais confortável é melhor experimentar várias antes de escolher uma. pra mim a tele é mais confortável pro meu corpo eu já tentei tocar várias guitarras da gibson e elas foram desconfortáveis pra mim pq muito pesada no pescoço (sg), ou tudo muito pra frente na guitarra (firebird) As guitarras que eu mais gostei foram a tele, a Mustang da fender (eu tenho a squier bullet), e a Gibson sl (eu tenho a epiphone Sl). E eu tbm tenho uma Stagemaster de 7 cordas da Squier e tbm tele a têm várias configurações, a minha é da marca g&l asat e do modelo deluxe que têm dois captores estilo humbucker

[@nickkontismusic6441]

I am sorry Vinnie mate I gotta go with strat.

[@PeteVinniePlay]

hahaha, no worries Nick, but I'm sorry to say we can no longer be friends. nah, thanks for watching mate! strats are awesome!

[@nickkontismusic6441]

@@PeteVinniePlay no problem bro. You both are doing an amazing work. Keep it up!

[@fmkoba]

I think I prefer the Tele sound, but now I get why the Strat is considered more versatile

makes sense! thanks for watching Fernando :)

i cant tell the difference, Strat looks better

Both 😆

The strat has a more smoother tone where the tele has more grith

a telecaster som mais encorpado cristalino, stratocaster som rasgado principalmente com drive e mais agudo fico com essa telecaster se saiu melhor timbre.

I feel Ike the Strat is mor Alman Bros. and the Tele is more Eric Clapton. How off am I?
