Did you catch Greg Koch at NAMM? That guy's really magic with a Telecaster. Ever see him demonstrate how you can get a real close approximation of a steel guitar effect with a Tele? Just curl the little finger of your pick hand around the volume knob and do a real quick cut-down in volume right after you pluck the note. Try it sometime and see. It's a real nifty effect. Of course you have to bring the knob back up again between notes but you'll get the hang of that after some practice. Bending the note with your fretting finger increases the effect. Again, try it sometime and see. Koch also demonstrates in his presentations how to get a really good wah effect without a pedal by doing the same kind of thing on the Telecaster's tone knob. Wrap your pinkie around the tone knob and do a real quick roll-off on the tone right after you pluck the string. Presto, you get a wah effect without a wah pedal. Surprise your friends with that one!
And Mr. Koch can really cook on that Telecaster after he's through stuntin' around with it. Check him out the next time he does one of his appearances.

Oh yes, I greatly enjoy watching videos of him playing on Youtube. He is amazing with his Tele, and a really cool guy on the side, so, it makes for a very entertaining video.
