@@guitarocd9984 Yeah I've also always thought his tone was ahead of his time and there was a certain level of mystery to it. I feel like the 80's stuff sorta gets held against him because it became more of a processed type sound but his tones from the 70's are absolutely incredible and oddly enough I know he's known as a Les Paul player but I really think of him as a Tele player.

That's just great man! The Rev is the man! It's so great to see a great video from someone who understands his playing and his tone instead of just putting heavy fuzz and octave pedal on. His tone is in his fingers and touch. As a big Billy Gibbons fan one thing i noticed in his playing lately is that he doesn't waste any notes. It's like a beautiful poetry! I feel like that's what you tried to go for here.

John Fogerty sounds like a good one to do, lots to learn and borrow from him, or pull someone out of the hat from the dawn of electric guitar music to learn from like Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly, they had a lot of straight jazz in them in the 50's along with old school blues. Learning to draw from that stuff and add your own "twist" to it can really open doors of perception musically.

@@nicky91guitar and you are wrong about the screws. Go to reverb and magnify any 1958 Telecaster you will see Phillip head screws. You should do more Googling. They started transitioning to Phillips head screws in 1953. And they believe that this pickguard is original. Now we will move on to the knobs. (Which you are also probably wrong about) I will get back to you. Do some homework before you empty the nonsense out of your head. So it seems Nick the only disaster here is your lack of knowledge.

@robertbaker Hey man, around the 10:00 minute mark, you talk about hitting that low E string on your way back to the G. It's called a passing tone....which is a note that's not in the chord, but can be used as a "pass through" on your way back to the chord tones. I remember this from music classes in school. Yes, I actually paid attention....sometimes. LOL Thanks for the great lesson! So cool! 😉
