Who needs guitar effects? All these tones out of one fender telecaster and one amp setting Try It

This is better than 90% of the guitar videos on YouTube — and the dude doesn’t at all even seem like he intended to make this. Seems like he’s just chillin talking about guitar shit and someone took out their phone and started filming. Love it.

I saw a guitar documentary featuring Andy Summers demonstrating his latest effects rack and foot switcher. The last thing he said was, "basically we use all this stuff to make the guitar sound like it did before we had all this stuff".

Best Telecaster demo. Fender should pay you.

"The enemy of art is the absence of limitations." -Orson Welles The beauty of guitar music is in its limitations. When you are only give a single volume and tone, you will try to maximize the different types of tones. Then you add in the pickup selector. Then you add in the amp EQ. There are so many tonal variations can be achieved with just simple controls, but we live in a modern digital age where we have everything accessible at our fingers with modeling amps and digital amp sims, but there is a beauty in the limitations and it truly breeds creativity and innovation.

The best guitar ever made.

This man has fully connected hands to his trained ears. Great playing joy to listen 👌👍

How it should be done ... like Jaco said: "It's all the hands." Someone asked Wilko Johnson what pedals he used, Wilko said: "I'm a guitarist, not a fucking cyclist."

Great video! A mentor told me once, “Tone is in the hands”. There’s truth to that. The guitar and amp won’t do all the work. He is one with the guitar. So the guitar gives all it has to offer.

Christ that Hendrix tone is spot on 👌

There's nothing in the world like a Telecaster for tone.

Nice … this is why I love my Telecaster. I saw Petty playing one when I was 14 & thought it looked cool, and once I finally got one I understood why so many people use them.

The answer is: People who live in appartments for rent. If i would play my amp at the edge of break up the cops will knock at my door in a few minutes. 😅 So i am realy happy about my FX pedals. 😉

Amazing what variety of tones, even without touching Amp buttons, only guitar selectors, great presentation 👏👏👍

I used to hate telecasters until I bought one ,and now I absolutely love them and now I have 3 . A very nice sounding versatile guitar . Fantastic tones sounds great well done .

You've proved that It all comes down to the skill of the player, not how much you've spent on effects.

Great informative video showing the versatility of the Telecaster. And nicely played.

This video is up there with Joe Bonamassa's Les Paul tone lesson for showing just how much variety you can get out of just volume and tone knobs.

I went through six years on the road in the 60s with my Tele and it could do anything, it never broke down and with a rosewood board the tonal possibilities were vast. You have just shown me the ones I didn't manage. What a vid display of our fav. guitar Thank You

Absolutely fantastic!

Brilliant display of versatility!
