    Mike has been playing the guitar since he was 12 years old, and from that first moment his love affair with music and the instrument began. Fresh out of school at the age of 16 he attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford and completed a year-long Diploma course.
    After finishing the ACM his life as a full time musician began, playing in numerous bands and touring up and down the country playing iconic venues such asThe Shepherds Bush Empire, The Astoria, The Underworld and London’s Jazz Café. He’s also been fortunate enough to support industry legends Paul Weller, Blondie and Katie Melua.
    Mike’s session work has led to his working on a variety of projects - from performing with stars such as Ricky Wilson and Diana Vickers, to appearing in many TV shows and adverts. Mike loves being on stage performing, but is equally at home recording in a studio - where he has worked with Alex Von Soos (All Saints, Seal, Atomic Kitten), Mike Horner (The Prodigy, Shakira, Bloc Party), and Mike Chapman (Blondie, Suzi Quatro)

    I did manage to guess correctly, but I am really surprised how close they sound. Almost makes you think you don't need both - but who am I kidding, I want both!

    I can always tell the difference in this kind of videos! The strat sounds "classier" and clearer. That's why my fav is... The Telecaster !!

    I couldn't tell which was which until you got some overdrive in there. The tele has a more direct sound and it really comes through when some gain is added. So, yeah, I could tell!

    @doca9357 3 роки тому +1

    I picked them out on the first sample, I think the clean makes it easier to identify, especially for the neck PUP, might be as I have a strat, very subtle differences

  • @C3PO300

    Cool video Mike. Really wasn’t sure based on the neck posn, but like you said, the bridge on the Tele gave it away. Keep up the great work, awesome site!

    I can't tell. Just listened to the clean sound so far. There seems to be a slightly wider frequency range on guitar 1.
    What about having Mike Too make the next video and see if we can tell?

  • @MusicMan624
    @MusicMan624 5 років тому +2

    Mike,
    You rock!
    This is so funny! Great topic.
    I love my Strats and I love my Teles. I have modified my teles with strat wiring. But, am able
    to retain Tele sounds. They are both incredible guitars. It is very hard to pick one over the other.
    They are both flat out incredible! I have to say you are incredibly entertaining!

  • @BAMozzy69
    @BAMozzy69 5 років тому +1

    LMAO on the Tele 2 PU's by Mike 2...
    I guessed right - it wasn't easy as in at times I questioned whether or not I was hearing the Strat or Tele, but there were a few occasions where I felt confident on which guitar I was hearing. I was quite surprised actually at how close they sounded at times. Maybe its because they both sounded like you playing...

  • @aft41
    @aft41 5 років тому +2

    Haven't seen the reveal but halfway through I'll say Guit 1 was the Strat. Slightly more "springy" sound. Will I be embarrassed?

    • @aft41
      @aft41 5 років тому +2

      Yay, I was right. Fun challenge! The Tele had a tone that was a bit more even and ballsy; the Strat's was more springy or dynamic--and my theory is it has to do with the Strat's vibrato apparatus vibrating...

  • @BeefNEggs057
    @BeefNEggs057 5 років тому +1

    I believe the metal base plate actually makes the bridge pickup higher output. I saw that as an aftermarket strat bridge pickup option and I believe that is what the description said. Not positive there.

    @AndreyLebedintsev 3 роки тому

    thanks for the test. i got it right but it was difficult.
    for me tele sounds more saturated, the strat sounds clearer.
    bridge pickup & light overdrive is what made me decide.

  • @MCM686

  • @rayfranchi1507

  • @gregw988
    @gregw988 5 років тому +1

    I got it right but it was often so close. Says a lot about pickups and the players hands. Next can you do an overdriven Tele vs Les Paul, for the sake of early Led Zeppelin.

  • @TheFrederic888
    @TheFrederic888 5 років тому +2

    Honestly after 2s of hearing the strat I was 99.9% sure of my guess. I guessed the tele just because it did not sound like a strat. Funny fact I own a tele and no strat 😂. I cannot believe Mike when he says it was even difficult to him to guess, the strat has really a very specific signature. Thanks Mike, that was entertaining !

  • @klovig1
    @klovig1 5 років тому +2

  • @MichalBelda
    @MichalBelda 5 років тому +2

    The very first sound kind of gave it away, the neck pickup on a strat is so distinctive. The tele bridge with gain was the second clue...
