Oh, no, you broke the rules and showed the face. You're supposed to cut it off at the neck. No one wants to actually know what any of us look like!

As for your playing, I found it quite passable with a Clarence White a la Byrds quality to it. I'm thinking you can manage a passable Nashville West with a bit of practice.

Where the rubber meets the road...tone sounds good to me! Nice job on that amp!

I'm gonna try some more with a bit more treble and better playing and some different guitars.

That tele has a very weird resonance makes everything sound honky but kinda cool

Sound honky? You are one, ya redneck. Love it.

:P

I really like the sound. It's smooth but edgey and gritty but smooth. It is what you have to do with outboard eq to make a guitar sit right with a band. I like the ceiling leslie too. :)

I'm feeling you (not literally).
I'm not particularly fussy how big you are.
I'm not laughing - you haven't heard me...
With more practice I can get there.
Gotta love a Tele with a Rocket.

I Googled Telebastard and all I could come up with was James Burton shooting at horses wearing nothing but boots and undewear.

Exactly why should I laugh? Sounds good to me.

I was just contemplating what to do with an old hammond ao-43 tonight, that sounds pretty good. Is that basically a two hole rocket? Does it clean up too?

Yes just a 2 bottle rocket PPIMV.I have RJ's boost circuit in it with some mods to smooth it out.It does amazing cleans . but don't expect it to do cleans over a drummer.It cleans up well witht he guitars volume if you don't crank the boost way up.
I have a lot more gain on tap than whats on the video.
PPIMV Pretty low in those vids.Low enough that if close the door going into the house My family can still here it but not overwhelmed by it.

LefT ,You was supposed to laugh at the dork tryin to play guitar I already know the amp sounds good.It sounds even better now.I did some mods to cut some bass and those are dark speakers to begin with.
