    Re: Telecaster Song List

    I'm not 100% certain but these two tunes may be Telecaster-driven......

    "Go And Say Goodbye" -- Buffalo Springfield (Stephen Stills)
    "Grizzly Bear" -- The Youngbloods (Jerry Corbitt)

    They both have 'the twang'.

    Songs.


    "Haleluiah"- JB on a 90's MIM toploader. The amp with the candles on it looks like it could be a Supro. But he doesn't sound like LZ I or II.

    "You Ain't Going Nowhere"- The Byrds w/Clarence White on the bendy Tele.

    Telecasters were also used on several McCartney albums, McCartney and Band on the Run to name two. Which songs? I don't know.

    [QUOTE=

    I've seen Mark Knopfler use a Tele a few times. Don't know what songs it's on though.

    [/QUOTE]


    Walk of Life (Brothers In Arms, 1985) (actually a red Schecter Tele)
    Solid Rock ( Making Movies 1980)

    Both great fun to play.

    (plus a few other tracks that don't qualify as "famous" )

    "Bodhisattva," the main solo by Denny. Admittedly, it's a heavily modded Tele, but that's an important solo.... for most rockers, the first time we ever heard somebody play bebop lines.

    That's a '50 Broadcaster, Mike Campbell used back then.
    But I guess it still counts.

    He's mainly a strat player--------but I've seen him with a tele,and I thought in an interview I have somewhere he said Still The One was that tele and a Bassman.Could be wrong,I would like to find that one.

    Re: Telecaster Song List

    If you find a link to the article I'd love to read it, refin. On his website is a gear page but I don't ever recollect seeing a Tele in any of the pics. Mebbe he used one "way back when".

    I'm just thankful that both of the John Hall Band albums were finally released on a single CD last year......"Crazy" is one of my favorite Strat tunes.

    Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes is an Esquire/Tele player. How could we forget him? Though he equally plays his 335 and Zemaitis, here's one of his "signature" sounds, from way early on...

    My brother in law has an early 90s Maple neck Olympic White top loader MIM Tele that is to die for. Tone and sustain for days.

    It's stock, a bit on the log side, and I can't get him to come off it for nuthin...

    I've got a couple Gibsons and spend a little time over there also.

    The consensus (from guys that have been around much longer than me and are old enough to have been there) is that the LZ III version of "Since I've Been Loving You" is indeed a Tele song.

    Now Icould be wrong and not to be snarky, but Page is a God over there and I believe they'd claim it to be a Les Paul song if their was any way in hell they could get away with it!

    That solo is all Randall (either Baxter and/or Dias probably played the repeating harmony figure), and it was for sure a crazy, hacked-up Stratocaster that Randall still calls "TheStrat."

    Re: Telecaster Song List

    I thought on the album is sounded like an in betwen Strat.

    I was going by an "Old Grey Whistle Test" clip from the '70s that shows both Elliot and Skunk playin' Teles.

    It appears Skunks Tele is equiped with deArmond or Dynasonic pups. Hard to see what Elliot's Tele is equiped with.

    Re: Telecaster Song List

    Dan - I don't think Elliot Randall played live with the band. The guy you're thinking of - bearded, heavy-set dude with a Fat Tele that seems to have a few too many switches - is Denny Dias, a be-bopper who was in Steely Dan before anybody (he played the killer solo on "Bodhisattva").

    Baxter did play lead on that song when they played live, but it's Randall and his humbucker-in-the-neck Strat on the record. ANd it's for sure Baxter and Dias in this clip:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsrI_mIT6PQ

    I see this is after Becker inexplicably ditched his hacked P-bass for that Firebird. And what the flip... is Baxter playing through a VT-22????!? No wonder they canned him.

    Thanks for the diversion that lead me to... been watching Buckley videos for half an hour! I have the "Grace" album, but still... his talent always floors me: writer, singer, composer, arranger and gobs of mojo. What a loss. This time I was giving big props to the band -- that Big Drum sound on the other stuff is just terrific and the low end is always locked in. Doubling all the rhythm on acoustic just makes it all sound so rich too.

    That's exactly the clip I was thinking of.

    My bad. Apologies to Mr Dias and Mr Randall for the mix up...

    Re: Telecaster Song List

    Another cool tune that's not really characteristic Telecaster is Rush's One Little Victory off the Vapor Trails album. Saw a clip of it recently and Lifeson was playing a Tele.

    +1 on that! My band plays "Crazy" in our shows and most people don't remember who the artist was... and we often get asked about it and whether its an original. A very cool song indeed!

    Dave Davies of the Kinks: from about the mid80ies he's mainly used a tele elite, featured on all Kinks records from Think Visual to To the Bone (1996), the last Kinks disc so far. It was also used in most live appearances also, documented on countless TVshows around the world. He's also mainly used a Tele for his solo shows the last 10 years (shows sceduled for feb 2010 in the US).
