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

[@johnnymossville]

Love the way your setup sits in the mix so well. Cuts through with clarity, and never overpowering or harsh.

[@hwats0n]

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!

[@Jamzocd]

Great tone and playing Joey!

[@bashukanal7606]

Absolutely brilliant my brother! I totally appreciate what you have shared. Love, Bash K

[@justcantshred]

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.

[@mikeanthony5684]

Nice sound man . Well balanced , with guitar being voiced . With that I heard Rock , Rock , then hard Rock .

[@matthewhaddad9828]

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!!!!

[@vincentl.9469]

try telling this to the many les paul users world wide..not to mention the strat club

[@MrJonathanMarquis]

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!

[@LuisHernandez-dy1rq]

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

[@john-acellera]

Great video man! Danke Schon! However, can you tell me the perfect telecaster formula? Like ash body, ash tray bridge, pickup? etc.... Bitte, Danke!

[@dantahoua]

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... 😊

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

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.

[@MrCgar18]

that second sound is one ive been trying to get forever omg

[@oliviercastello4093]

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’ 🤘

[@csprink1]

Joey do you have a tab for that blues solo? My favorite track of yours

[@LuisHernandez-dy1rq]

Did you keep the same pickups that came with the guitar when you bought it ?

[@LRHutch]

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.

[@memonomoto7419]

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

[@bluematrix5001]

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!

[@kubilaymusic]

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 ❣

[@dragan4658]

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! 🤘

[@rogerb.4959]

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!!

[@joeyjooones]

I use the standard Kemper Noise Gate for some of these!

[@rogerb.4959]

@@joeyjooones ok awesome thank you. You sound awesome man !!

[@finishin.my.coffee8780]

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.

[@stephant.2362]

What's your signal chain for the tones?

[@aminahmed2220]

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Joey also Saturday is my friends birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@MatsAcane]

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

[@gaborhusson1921]

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? 😅

[@joeyjooones]

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?

[@gaborhusson1921]

@@joeyjooones could the ‘mesa throttle box’ do the job in your opinion?

[@joeyjooones]

@@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 ;)

[@zachb5803]

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

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! 🙏🏻

[@Fret-knot]

[@arunkarthikma3121]

Just use compression, and push the mids on your amp. It's actually super easy to get humbucker style tones out of a tele

Well done!! Telecasters rule!!

[@BuddyGuy0621]

same but need an additional one with a floyd.

[@olganesterowicz2112]

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.

[@joeyjooones]

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. :)

[@horstzankl5709]

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.

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 .

Only one way to find out!

[@steevkelly]

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.
