Tribute to the Telecaster

I dismissed the Tele in my youth as being a Strat without the third pickup and tremolo. I was so fucking wrong. Thought it might be nice to compile a list of incredible Tele solos.

This one simply devastates me:

Post your favs.

Gurl, puhlese! Tele is a Fender Les Paul. Beat you to the ground. I like flat poles and swamp ash. Thumpy enough to rock on.

Just for that I'm posting another Tele solo, uploaded to youtube on my fortieth birthday:

Watch out or I'll break out some Jungian Synchronicity videos.

I'll take Telecasters over Strats almost all the time. Way more going on for my ears. Strats get used as milk toast way too often.

Tele is my second most favorite guitar by FAR!!! Don't ask about my first....it's not old...or cool.

Teles & Strats aren't too bad when you mix them together......

I love my Tele! Bought a 1994 American Standard two years ago from a retiring music teacher. Quickly became a favorite.

This thread wouldn't be complete without something from Clarence White. I was lucky enough that I happened to be in Washington DC during the spring of 1969 and saw without advance planning the Byrds (White-Parsons-Battin-McGuinn) at American University. To this day it remains a memorable show.

No video but the audio is good -- two of Clarance's best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bEM4lnDSHc

There is someone speaking at the beginning -- I guess to fill time while the band was tuning or fiddling with equipment. Someone poses the question as to who was speaking. I'd guess it is Gene Parsons. Here's a sample to match the voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj2-xwJJwRY

Here's another, by Campilongo, that really gits the sound for me.
