1. They do everything 2 they do everything 3 they do country 4 they do everything 5 they can withstand metal 6 it’s a tele 7 it’s a tele 8 it’s not a Gibson 9 it does everything 10 Leo was the fuckin man

#8 - it can be used as a Telescope. You hit someone on the head and he sees stars.

Brilliant video. At 75 years old, I wish I'd bought my Squier Tele a lot earlier than 4 years ago, but never mind, I've got it now. Will post a pic of myself with Queens congratulations birthday card for my 100th.

1 reason not to buy a telecaster - no money

"Here we go, clean amp..." *sustains note with infinite gain God this video is amazing.

I learned on a Fender Mustang before moving to a MIM Tele about a year later. Shortly after, I found my dream guitar in a Fender American Professional Jazzmaster, but I still like to go back to the Tele every so often just for fun. It really is a unique guitar that's a lot of fun to play. Only thing I miss is the offset I get with the Mustang and Jazzmaster, but to each there own.

Telecasters are made with twang, an addictive chemical.

I just bought my first tele and I have to say I am super impressed and the sustain is remarkable- so much fun to play

Some You Tubers try to be funny, this guy gets it. Awesome.

This guy is so humble and can play like a demon,we need more guys on KZfaq like him...lol

I have one MIM and one LP Junior P90's but regarding sound I will go all day with my Tele. Love that sound ❤

This video is way better than I was expecting

You forgot to mention Nick Jonas the guitar god who also plays on tele.

Reason #8: Durability. The tele is a solid, rugged, enduring piece of design. None of that head-stock-breaking-off-neckjoint-cracking crap that you get with Gibsons. I've had two Gibbys (SG and Les) crack up on me, but last fall, after hurricane season, I went out in the yard and chopped up fallen trees with my '77 Tele.

i was a tele player before i saw this video (just now). completely validated. cheers.

Brittish humour at it´s best. Love it Andy.

The irony is strong with this one

Yes, Leo got it right first time. I've played Tele's for many years. I've tried others, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING compares to it. Many think of a tele as a country music only instrument, but that can't be father from the truth. Yes, it is a great CM guitar, but it's more than that. It can be used in all types of music. For me, it's excellent for jazz, and when I have a hankering to play surf music from the past, it does well with that too. The Tele is the most versatile guitar made, bar none!!

I’m getting one you’ve convinced me Had one years ago should never have sold it.👍

loved the Keith bit, actually laughed because he was my inspiration for ever wanting a Tele in the first place...now I can live forever and levitate!!!!

I finally bought a Tele when I realized that in case of a bar fight they make a terrific club. Simple, not much to break, decent weight, just unplug and swing. I realize that in the UK the hoodlums are confined to the soccer stands, but here in the US the inhabit the bars.

The more guitars I know (and make) the better the Tele becomes

Him: Famous guitarist who uses telecaster Me: Johnny Greenwood, hello

I thought he was joking about reason number 2. Just got a tele last night, and it won't let me play anything for long...that doesn't end up sounding country. Love it so far. Playing it gives me a very different feeling than my LP and Strat. I highly recommend getting one. They are such fun.

Great video man. I just started playing guitar and got a Tele. Thanks for validating my initial observations that this guitar can do it all!

I like the levitation part the best. I am old and I need my Tele so I don't have to walk a lot. Better than a magic carpet. All jokes aside. I would not trade mine for anything on the market.

Last year, got myself a cheap Tele copy for a $100. I was curious why everyone likes them? A year later, I swapped the neck on it, installed genuine Fender tuners and modern bridge, DiMarzio Chopper T, and Twang King pickups.. $400 worth of upgrades.. Today it plays and sounds better than my American made Strat. I fell in love with it

I have the same model love it...no country on mine...all rock!!!

I alwaus wanted to levitate... You convinced me !

I love the countrified 'Sweet Child'.

We get it. You hate the tele.

Have no desire to play guitar but if it makes you live longer, then God dam it I’m going to buy one

Last night a tele came to me in a dream and now this is in my feed, I need to buy one

LOL Just the kind of honest, straight forward bogus-osity I needed to hear. This was great so much fun and , as we all know, oh so true. Made my day. Thank you.

Love the humor and the info

Telecaster is the queen of all guitar !!

The greats that used teles should have included Tom Petty, and Chris Cornell.

3:01 slashs les Pauls: am I a joke to you

I agree, Leo got it right the 1st time.

I have 3 different Telecasters. Can I consider myself as immortal? By the way, other reason for me is Richie Kotzen. Nice vídeo!

Nice satire, dude. To everybody arguing over strat's and tele's below here's my solution. 5 guitars: Strat, Tele, Les Paul, Paul Reed Smith, and an acoustic and you cover all the bases.

Cool. I have a butterscotch Player Tele with these “Plus-Deluxe” upgrades by me - Vintage Fender bridge and tuners, Wilkinson's compensated saddles, Mojotone ’52 Quiet Coil pickups, Lucky Dog gnarly knobs, angled-switch cover-plate, and a three string tree to stop the g-string ring behind the nut. It's a great guitar. I love the satin back/glossy top maple neck. For me it just blows away anything else under a grand. And I prefer it to the American series which I can afford to by if I wanted to.

I levitated after hearing reason 7 .. LOL

Wow, I was shocked at how excited you are

I have 2! Love ‘em

you forgot one, you could become best band in the world, Radiohead

Loved this video! Now I have to reassemble my telecaster and check it out before finishing it! Didn't know Eddy Van Halen had one!

I didn't understand dry British humor until this video. ... Bravo!

This is amazing. Haven't laughed this hard in a while. :)

I laughed and don't know why. I guess your humor is as simple and effective as a Tele is.

dude - you need a tv show, you're very funny and talented!

Picked up a 93 tele love it usa plays great 25 years old.

Lol! I finally found my smartass equal.. You have a new subscriber, keep it coming..

Sold!!!! I'm sure I can show this video to my wife so she may understand why I must have a Tele.

I bought a tele just because he played smoke on the water in style of country. Now that's what I call variety

I love it! Country is a feeling not about where you're from.

Buying tomorrow!

3:30 ..... Im going to play one note, no effects, no vibrato and see how long it lasts?? Then adds vibrato, there's also some sort of delay/reverb on that too lol

I already bought one!

reason #3 is, by far, the most important of all but we could also consider : reason #1: Vince Gill reason #2: Kenny Vaughan reason #4: Muddy Waters reason #5 : Bill Kirchen reason #6 James Burton ...

Awesome! I have the Fender Tele American Standard but i find myself playing the Squier Classic Vibe 50's more.. it just sounds better!

My Nan loves watching her Tele.

Oddly enough, the Stratocaster was supposed to be the country guitar. The telecaster was to be the rock version.

Telecaster their is no substitute!!!!🤘😝🤘

You area a well-rounded talented guy. Very creative. Thank you.....I have to get the Butterscotch soon. Thx......Yuma,Arizona USA

Very funny and nearly informative - thanks!

good reasons to buy a tele.. I agree... specially reason nr 3... ;) Im checking out one now...

Thank you! I needed this today!

I loved vids with true stats. Kudos!!

I learned guitar on a Tele,such a clean sound they have

Love that neck...gonna buy another neck n put it on my red Nashville MIM.

2:55 I thought I was getting a Trogly’s crossover episode.

these man is legend

Totally Awesome! I want one now...

I need a Telescaster now

Have bought a Squier Infinity Stratocaster, now thinking I would have been better with a Telecaster.

I have a Fender Modern Telecaster Plus and Love it.I play old school Country.But as You said This Guitar can do it all.Thank You so much.

There is no Tele without the legendary Leo Fender.

Does a Tele copy make me live longer as well? Maybe at least some days? I love your clean sound in the sustain test. It's so pure - hard to describe.

My dream guitar

Greatest guitar players in the world. You missed two out, Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan, both were Telecaster players.

I heard Jimi Hendrix borrowed telecaster on which he recorded Hey Joe. Mike Bloomfield was another telecaster player.

This video is the most fresh thing I have seen these last months ! Thanks Andy for that ! Subsribed ! cheers from brussels ... point 3 definitely convinced me :)

Some obviously overlooked additions to your list of players renowned for using Telecasters: Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Buddy Holly, Neil Young, there must be a few more ... 😉

I wondered why I bought one 3 years ago. Know I know!

Entertaining Video. . . love the picture of the Morris Minor behind you. I had one when I was in Oxfordshire in the late 70s.

Hi Andy, thank you 🙂👍

Andy, you are hilarious!!!!!!!

1:01 hahahah love it!! XD

This is the video that started my love affair with the Tele.

Ooooh I laughed so hard!! You are hysterical.

So it can play any style* *With country influences

Keith Richards was the reason I picked one up. I'd be lying my ass off if I said otherwise...........My '99 standard MIM Telecaster is the shit. Total attitude in tones this thing has---neck pickup is stock but the bridge is a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail. Indeed plays everything and anywhere in between.........The magic is in the chops and how you manipulate the tone controls..... GREAT VIDEO dude.....

lovely! So funny how you mixed the 'country' with the 'metal' hysterical and lovely!

I own a Les Paul and I'm planning to buy an SG (coz I only play LP & SG).. although my real home is Country Music. I guess in my collection of LPs and SGs I can squeeze in One Telecaster just because I fuckin love country. Main reasons why I didn't buy Tele in the first place: Too light, goes all over the place when I play a riff.. I prefer humbuckers... I don't like the distance of the strings to the fretboard, it's too high (I know you can mod it but we did that to my schoolmate's tele and his high e string always gets destroyed on the bridge part..his is not a fender but still..) and final reason is I prefer 4 knobs.. and the switch ain't as easy to access compared to LP or SG. (I know there's a Tele deluxe but I dunno where I can buy one, I'm from the Philippines btw)

Stephen Stills, on Crosby, Stills, and Nash. All the electric guitar parts.

I have 7 really nice guitars. My Tele is a CS 52 black guard. It is sweet !!

I like how from beginning to end, you gave very objective reasons based on facts and logical reasoning. I appreciate that, thanks mate !

people spend their lifetime with rankings and comparisons without KZfaq, nobody would think like that but it brings views-subscribers-= money ! so good idea

Really great video , I love it
