Anybody else love that country Tele tone ?

Great Paisely vid. Check out Doug Seven if you want insight into this style. His vids or downloads are great, well worth it if you can already play . ( and watch johnny hiland )

Old Albert Lee can give all those Nashville pickers a good run for their money. I think Eric Clapton credited him with being the best virtuoso player around.

I was in a country music mixing session yesterday and the artist wanted to ditch the piano solo which was preceding the guitar solo on his record and wanted another guitar solo instead. I was asked to play it. All I had to hand was a Boss GT10 and a Strat. The second guitar solo was recorded by the house session guy at Muscle Shoals on a vintage Tele plugged into a vintage Fender amp. 

My efforts sounded absolutely shite in comparison. To get that tone you need a good Tele and the right amp which I haven't got

Oh shush now. Everybody knows old amps and old guitars are over rated, all the new equipment adverts tell you so!

Loved that sound since I first saw the Albert Lee 'Starlicks' video in 1992 ...

And despite that misleading recommendation, he is in fact quite brilliant. Saw him at the Robin in Bilston (Wolverhamptonshire) and was mesmerized by the sheer energy the guy had in his playing. I think therefore that to nail a good twang sound, you really do have to play like you love it
