You mean "twangy" songs?

Just heard The Eagles - Already Gone on the radio, that's got a pretty good Tele sound.

Status Quo - Rockin' all over the World has 3 Tele's in it.
John Fogherty - Rock n Roll Girls has a good Tele twangin' sound.
Bruce Sprinsteen's Radio Nowhere is about as Tele as you can get.

Cheers.

The Live Roof Top Concert by the Beatles from Let It Be. George played a Tele. Most Rolling Stones earlier stuff.

Listen to Rory Gallagher's " Bullfrog Blues " from his Live in Europe album. The sound is anything but twangy - hard edged nasty screaming slide guitar ..... listen ONE time.... you'll know !!!! :!:

ps - I know I've mentioned this more than once.... but Commander Cody's Lost Planet Airmen featured Bill Kirchen, one of the KINGS of twangy, diesel-billy Tele guitar. The 1976 album " We've Got a Live One Here" is a classic by stoned, hippie truck- driving hillbillies ( at least their image ) who were/ are SUPERB musicians. You can get a peak at them on YOU TUBE playing a dirty :oops: song " Everybody's Doing It "

Listen to Yodacaster,
I found that all the songs I played on the Strat or my LP copy sound as good and sometimes better on my Tele. Small amp tweaks and I can get almost all the tones!!!!

Leo had it right the first time. No frills, No BS, No extra stuff, just a great 'playing' guitar that seems to work for everything I want to play. If I don't know what's gonna be played at the jam session, I always bring the Tele. Sheesh, I'm lying. I always bring the Tele anywhere I go to play!! Great for Blues, Country, R&B, Funk Stroking, and roll off on the tone, use the neck Pup, add a little chorus and I can even get some decent Jazz.

You are soo right! But listen to a master at work! Bill Kirchen Solo...! He does everything in this vid from a ship (the Edmund Fitzgerald) to great guitarists alive & dead. Note the reversed plate on his Telecaster!
