Jorgensen - Telecaster guitar lesson

Jorgensen - Telecaster guitar lesson

[@bashfulbrother]

The thing that really gets me about his playing is that not only is he a master of almost every style but he everything he plays is very melodic and pleasing to the ear.
Really a nice guy, too.

[@kenwoodphillips]

Dear Mr Jorgensen.
You make it look so easy. And you dont act like a guitar hero , No ego . 3 chords and the truth . I´ve just started learning Tele ,country style.
yourself,Danny Gatton,Johnny Hiland are the greatest guys to learn from.
Thanks so much.

[@kitemanmusic]

+Robert Hewett You are right! Doug is a fantastic player. His only problem: He is too modest!!

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

Great list, but don't forget Scotty Anderson.

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

John Jorgensen's dynamite solo on "Hello Trouble" - done when he was a member of the Desert Rose Band - will live on as long as there are people who appreciate hot Telecaster playing. And that's just one of the dozens and dozens of amazing performances he has waxed over the years.

[@jfree336]

GeorgiaBoy1961 True that, JJ smokes it on that one.

[@Rowlandph]

John can play any style!...and NO ego!...Great guy and Nice!...

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

Teles are the most radical sounding electric guitars and they possess such a unique character .I always tend to respect guys like this who can really demonstrate the worth , versatility and individuality of the guitar .

[@u89worlds]

Very much appreciated. The versatility of the telecaster is amazing. Ten minutes, well spent. To the shed!

[@robman3398]

The Pros always make it look so easy, John is one of the best!!!!!

[@melvinjackson4096]

i know it's quite off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online?

[@tripplorenzo8452]

@Melvin Jackson Flixportal :P

[@wwilliams6344]

Great Player, Great Musician and Great Person.........

[@robertcasey7623]

I love my Teles....most versatile guitars ever made....

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

Robert Casey yup tried them all and like all kinds of guitars but I feel like the tele was made fir me.

[@clanwaddell5628]

It really puts it all in your hands and fingers. No trem bar or active pick ups. But you got tone for days. Love telecaster

[@glassslide]

Killer lesson, could listen to that tone all day, love Telecasters through a clean amp.

[@billyboy1093]

Humble, down to earth, respectful and a monster player, I want to be like John when I grow up! Thank you Mr. Jorgensen!

[@flashcracker1]

What lovely sounds. Fantastic guitar player.

[@MrRoundel]

I couldn't agree more with what Rowlandph said about John Jorgenson. I was treated to seeing him perform at a small venue near the LA/Ventura county line a few days ago. His playing (And that of the Carl Verheyen band.) was other-worldly, yet he is surely a very down-to-earth guy who loves his Fenders. That said, he did play his old white 3HB Gibson SG/LP as well. He tickled and squeezed every grain of tone out of it, evoking nonstop smiles from the cheering, appreciative audience. One of the best out there, for sure.

[@davidjorgensen877]

Great lesson - love that old Tele twang! I'm not a country music fan, per se, but I do enjoy the finger picking stuff, and am starting to work a bit more of it into my own playing - which is what brought me here. It was a bit surreal watching this video, given that my first name is actually John. I will need to search out more vids from my namesake.

[@ronhouser9175]

I got a chance to talk with John at a workshop where he was promoting Takimine guitars. He really is a nice guy and a great musician.

[@zolazingo]

absolutely wonderful and very insightful, thanks! ps luv the Tele,, sweet stuff indeed, as is your masterful touch!

[@bluegoose555]

yeah I remember passing up several of those paisleys in the 70s when they were at about $400 or $500....I remember a 68 mahogany George Harrison at $800 or $900 that was dear ?..its not $150 ...but still ....looking back....I should have grabbed it...they say hindsight is 20/20 ..... Jorgenson plays a resissue and sounds great...so musical....and importantly.... having fun ...and loving it...thanks for sharing

[@twangthang68]

What guitar is this John is playing? It appears to be the Fender LTD ED 52 Copper Tele?

[@braddietzmusic2429]

+Lester Gilbert Looks very much to be the 52 Reissue Telecaster in Copper, but of course with the original bass circuit replaced with the (more) modern circuit as we know it today. I believe both circuits were provided with this guitar, new, but the bass circuit was the installed electronics it was shipped with. If... I remember correctly.

[@flamencoprof]

Thanks for a clear demo, nicely done!

[@muhrvis]

It's not supposed to be "amazing" -- it is a lesson. Listen to some of the Hellecasters records and you'll see how good John is -- he leaves normal humans in the dust.

[@marksea64]

According to the inflation calculator on the bureau of labor's web site, $150 in 1973 was worth $768 today. Not too far off.

[@luckyfamilyman]

4:20 Classic lil kid look what I can do... Very cool ;) love how the Tele brings out that lil kid in us who just want to "play".....Guitar

[@bareknuckles2u]

No doubt! He won best country guitarist a few times in the past and was a huge influence on Brad Paisly. He is an awesome guitarist.

[@mcmanustony]

I was at the festival in Italy he mentions. It was Soave 2003 and the owner of the guitar- Manfred if I remember correctly- is a HUGE fan of Johns so it was a singature model tele.....he also brought his strat and the acoustics so John didn't need to travel with a guitar. the tele got pranged off the roof of the tent and was indeed undamaged.

[@SasquachPL]

Are you buying all the short lived Squier series? Because in 50-60 years time they will be as desirable as the Pink Paisleys.

[@tonysinatra5128]

That is THE SOUND!!!

[@karamchandgautama]

it's a different mix from when he's playing guitar compared to when he's speaking. so when he stops playing he immediately starts talking; speech mix activated and the reverb of that mix (and probably the rest of the room) kicks in. compare the sound of when he's just playing to when he's talking while playing (when he's talking about ringing scales (which is a seriously cool thing, Bill Frisell does it too)) and you should hear the difference. so, basically a glitch, but yeah, pretty cool.

[@fiddlefolk]

he's a bad ass! I went to a Hellecaster's show in Dallas and he tore it up!

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

Alone, for his work on "Hello Trouble" with the Desert Rose Band back in the 1980s, Jorgenson will be a legend. Talk about tasty guitar!

[@brucemillar]

Marvellous! Thank you John. 🙂

[@tonycampbell4982]

Great guitar player

[@blueatlantisguitar]

WOW! tone to kill for.

[@thomassimeiii3599]

Damn man I wish I would of got that color when I got my 52 reissue in 1999. if i knew that everyone and their brother would have a butterscotch blonde these days i would of got copper. still the greatest guitar ever made. this girl dropped it on the cement at an outdoor show and it was 100% in tune still and only a slight edge mark.

[@garycarter4297]

Love you Jorg......a long time fan

[@octaviusdelmonte9019]

I personally feel that the telecaster is right in the middle between the strat and the Les Paul. It's a great place to be.

[@jostsangoku]

i saw your comment and looked for more of this guitar player, and you were right!

[@dragonheart1947]

good video, what do think of the squire telecaster?

[@edcherry9282]

Yeah,I remember early 70s you couldn't GIVE away those paisley teles..I bought one really cheap too..

[@billi9181]

i dont understand anything but i enjoy this video more than any marvel movies

[@boreed5734]

Seems like a great guy, nice going. Thanks for sharing.

[@timtompkins6752]

No doubt that John's wallet says, "Bad Mother F*cker".

[@kitemanmusic]

Is there a compressor being used here? The volume increases at the end of each phrase. Great Tele sound. I wonder what amp?

[@NealB123]

Yes. Teles and compressors are a match made in heaven.

[@mjt11860]

great lesson!

[@Strat642001]

@KU5Q
look up the Hellacasters to see him let loose a little more

[@646879]

I wonder when JJ started in the gypsy jazz genre?? he covers a lot of ground....

[@spacemanspiff2012]

Hammer on / open string scales

[@bobcon95]

If you get a chance, listen to a song that he played on when he was in the Desert Rose Band. It is a remake of Buck Owens "Hello Trouble". When I first heard that, I was on fire to play a telecaster from that point on. I never knew before that, that people could play a tele in country like that. Amazing.

[@twthompson40]

Do you have any advanced instruction books on the market?

[@Drummertmax420]

i heard that kieth richards shout out haha great playin love this!!! one of my idols

[@bozzojoe]

I sold my original first issue Paisley Tele for $225.00 in 1971, the second biggest regret for selling an instrument of my life.

[@machia0705]

I sold a 1969 Vox and a 12 string Hagstrom in 1979 for about fifty bucks , lol .
Back into music now , picked up a Tele , best guitar I ever owned .

[@66tas95]

Ahh you had the privilege of selling your guitar, some bastard stole my 68 Les Paul Sunburst Deluxe

[@elguiridelondres6]

Could be using a compressor but the reverb sounds like it's a 'ducking' type that's less obvious when you play but rings out when you stop.

[@desmo999]

Woonderfull, Faaantastic!!!

[@tomkozic8505]

Great Lesson!

[@TheGurner1]

Great, I need all this

[@trogsguitarist1284]

The worst part of teles is not having vintage premium models With thinner necks (and higher radius) for small hands people as am I

[@dogwood8031]

Old school guitarist, knows all the notes on the neck.

[@geraldwest3428]

Plum awesomeness...thanks!

[@bills48321]

like that tone, wonder what he's using to get it amp wise, pickups, etc.

[@tidepoolbay]

Of course I love this!
i

[@irrationallynegative]

He makes it SING...

[@hyperboogie]

Who ever said he was?
He's as bad ass as they come!!!

[@evimlck4579]

This makes my day!

[@jmmcdon25]

This is a great lesson! Thank you! You're a great teacher and player, but I don't see you as the "toss the guitar in the air" kind of guy...lol!

[@seboze]

super ^^ merci john !!!tu est enorme^^

[@jacksonjones1527]

I could watch/listen to JJ all day long especially if Jerry & Will r playin' to. #biggrin

[@mcdee56]

great tone! thx

[@frankfuentes5150]

Excellent!

[@cameronschroeder1208]

The guitar sounds good what do you use for tone amp wise

[@spacemanspiff2012]

VOX AC30?

[@Xcorgi]

I've always love the Telecaster for it's apprearance over the Stratocasters. However, I love the versitility of the Strats 3 pickup config whether its "sss" or "hss" and the fact it has a tremelo. I've always prefered the Tele's sleek headstock over the Strats more bulky one. If someone from Fender is reading, can you please make An American deluxe Tele with the Am Deluxe Strats 3 noiseless pickups and a tremelo w/ the LSR roller nut? Also make sure you do NOT use a Strats neck.Thats been done.

[@trogsguitarist1284]

Sorry but I am Not agree with strat more versatile than tele. This use to be a general misconception

[@jujuhowe6088]

twangy sounds..love it

[@markjohnson1260]

Great lesson ! Sounds like your using at least 11s ?
Thank you !

[@yvesquesnel974]

mark johnson and

[@micktulk]

Are those stock pickups? What model is that? Thanks.

[@bobsaturday4273]

is that a gold tele ?

[@theguffaw]

What kind of amp/compressor/reverb is he using? Sounds great.

[@Rikk303]

Wow at John making it all look so easy.....nice though.....Hellecastering isn't the easiest way to pick up phrases unless you're ok on the axe. Been playing for 40 years now, all that string strangling leaves me bemused......hey ho

[@fabioaryaduta8936]

After this i want to buy teleee

[@muhrvis]

Wrong, he IS stellar.. Hate arrogant analysts who always know someone "better." That;'s about YOU trying to show off your musical knowledge, not the quality of the player,

[@micktulk]

I Never played a bad Paisley Telecaster!

[@jammers5]

Great foundations for country guitar playing however would be hard for someone wanting to learn the foundations to learn, the speed at which he goes thru the licks is at more of an advanced player.
J5

[@elijuicyjones]

That rhythm lick he plays is uber.

[@GeetarApprentice]

640$ in the year of 1975, HUGE difference mate xD
Truth be told it was 1000$ in 1965. Googl inflation calculator.

[@eduardborrascases5516]

wow, so nice video! amaizing! thanks! :D

[@ralvarezguitar]

riff was pretty cool

[@Hoopermazing]

It's always a '53 with these guys.

[@Indobiker61]

Got me a Mexican made one and it souds and plays Sweeeeeet

[@vk7408]

The Telemasters!

[@thorolse]

First guitar was a Gibson SG Les Paul?

[@NealB123]

The Les Paul was a total dude when it was first introduced in the 1950's and Gibson ceased production after about 5 years. They replaced it with the SG which was originally called the SG Les Paul guitar. The original Les Paul design got a second chance at life in the early 60's when a bunch of teen boys in the UK (Clapton, Page, Beck, Townsend, Richards, etc) discovered that an old 50's model Les Paul plugged into a tube amp cranked up loud enough to go into distortion had possibilities.

[@smokeysunday]

Aaaaaah yes good old 20 20 hindsight! . . . .

[@stratocaster539]

nice.

[@bashfulbrother]

The musicians prayer: "Lord, please give me $100,000 and a time machine, and I will never ask you for anything again."

[@msattler111]

That thing has some balls..........not talking about the player........

[@jaybirdshelbync]

one word- wow

[@jasonwilliamshuck]

who are the 14 idiots who voted thumbs down? Meshuggah fans? jeez

[@zanweber8079]

I love meshuggah and this video lol.

[@jasonwilliamshuck]

+Zan Weber Actually, i do too! I just meant the typical metal-only types who think everything that isn't death-core sucks. Meshuggah was just the first band name that popped into my head. ha. rock (and twang on:)

[@Alamsumeh]

I lov u bro

[@IvorThomas]

Still having fun eh? Sweet!

[@thetelemaster]

$150 for a pink paisley tele....man, if I was around back then, I would have bought all of them...

[@sekops100]

The real deal

[@Rikk303]

middle pick up?

[@geeterman98]

he means middle position using both pick ups

[@Sailingbill1]

Who's Jack?

[@boocho1]

yeah, yeah, yeah..tele/schmelly..this guy used to have really rad hair...

[@Juan032694]

it would b around 5 or 600$
