Ha ha. I watched the whole video and didn't notice that. The voice is totally different of course. If he had David Schwimmer's voice, then it WOULD be uncanny.
As an acoustic player who's just now considering trying an electric, this was the most informative 12 minutes I've spent learning about some options, so thanks!
I'm no expert but I would say watch more videos. He completely skipped one type of guitar - a solid body guitar with humbuckers. Which is what I have because it suits the best for playing the music I like. None of the guitars he presented are that good for what I want from my guitar.

But it's so true! Tele in my opinion is such an underrated guitar. It's twang makes it absolutelly great for Rock and Country, you will always be distinguished in a mix. The Bridge pickup if equipped with noiseless pup can be a great metal and Djent machine And the neck pickup KILLS it when it comes to funk. Overall great guitar.
Playing-wise he’s good... instrument selection-wise for this video and some of the comments regarding the technical nature of the instruments are just bad. On the first point, if you’re going to do a “main types of electric guitars” video I’m sorry but you can’t pick a 335 over a Les Paul. 335s are great and arguably more flexible than a Les Paul and many people prefer them but they’re simply far more niche in terms of quantities sold than a Les Paul and that’s what this video is supposed to be about. A 4-way video with Tele, Strat, Les Paul and 335 would have been defensible... a 3-way HAS to be Tele, Strat and Les Paul... a 3-way with what this video is meant to be about cannot be defended without one of the guitars being a Les Paul. It’s as simple as that. On the technical/constructional comments my favourite screw-up comment was that the hollow sections of the 335 are there to contribute to sustain, which is totally the opposite of the reality. Solid body guitars were literally invented to enhance sustain, especially at volume... and before anyone says anything, feedback, which the hollow sections to contribute to creating, is NOT the same as sustain. He did also demonstrated the Clapton “woman tone” on the bridge pickup when it’s widely acknowledged that it’s a neck humbucker pickup sound. 🤦🏼♂️
Yes, no question about ability, but I clicked on to see what guitar is good for me. I thought I was going to get information. Apperantly I can do what ever I want on whatever I want and they're all in my price range. Thanks for the click bait
I just bought first electricguitar and 2 amps for $60. Here I learn it's a Stratocaster (style). Now to learn how to play it. If I'm a quarter as good as this guy that's a good start. 62nd birthday present to myself.
You clearly have a great attitude to life. Learning is an integral ingredient to happiness and guitar learning in particular! Make a resolution to play at least 10 minutes a day and you'll see how you progress 👍
That’s great! And for $60 sounds like you got a fantastic deal. Have fun! I learned a new term today that I think is a great description of my talent level even though I’ve been playing for some 50 years-advanced beginner.
ive been acoustic guy my whole life, been researching and searching up a ton of videos on the differences. no one has made more sense than you so far. Thank you!
If your an acoustic guy, get hollowbody. The new worn Epi Casino’s are a steal at just over 400 new...I’m a mostly acoustic player, and I love my Casino. They have p90 pick-ups too, which are kind in-between single and humbucker.
Generally speaking, the Tele is the best if you play many types of music and only have one guitar. I like the Strat for Blues, and a Les Paul or SG for hard rock . The semi hollow body would round out my dream collection for R+B /Jazz. With Harley Benton, AIO, Wolf guitars and others these days, you can afford a second or third axe. I bought a HB TE-52na for $160 and it plays great and stays in tune! With minor upgrades, these guitars are actually ok to gig with. I don’t think you necessarily need a Gibson or Fender anymore.
You could do the Nashville Mod Tele which essentially adds an extra middle pickup for clucky Strat sounds, and usually blending pot wiring for more diversity. Session players like these since they cover so much in one guitar. If somebody were ordering a Warmoth kit, the contoured Tele body would be a smart upgrade. But you can get used to the blockiness of the traditional Leo design. It's beautifully ugly.
For buyers/players outside the USA, US brands like Fender and Gibson are ridiculously overpriced due price gouging and the USD exchange rate, and their Squier and Epiphone segments still out price but more importantly, outclassed by contemporary brands from Asia like Ibanez, Yamaha, Cort and though now to a less significant degree, Harley Benton before impost of the 'COVID levy' on international shipping COVID levy to ROW effectively killed the value incentive of its direct etail sales model vs buying other Asian origin brands locally. My 'Tele' is a Cort Manson Stage Series Classic TC, my 'Strat' is a Yamaha Pacifica 612VIIFM, my 'Les Paul' is a Harley Benton SC Custom, and my 'ES-335' is an Ibanez AS93FM. Who needs Gibson, Fender, Squier or Epiphone in 2022?!!!
In a general sense, I see it as light and twangy (Tele) midrange (Strat) deeper and heavier (Les Paul), but if you have the right effects and amp you can make any of them sound like each other or better.
The guitar that's right for you is the guitar that makes you want to pick up and play. There are no boxes with certain guitars only being used for certain genres. If you love metal but like the feel of a jazzy guitar the most, then get that one. If you want to play blues but a metal V shape guitar is most comfortable for you then get that. Realistically you can play any genre on any instrument. The right guitar is the one that feels the best for you, not the one you think should get for a certain genre
Thank you! I've watched dozens of videos for beginners and you are the first to compare the different major types, show what all the knobs and switches do, and provide a concise and comprehensive demonstration of the different sounds for each.
I honestly had a strat in mind before buying but I bought tele since I had no idea what I should get and I just based it off the colors and aesthetic of the guitar😭 but now I'm glad knowing tele is a really versatile guitar
This is the best explanation/demo for understanding different guitar sounds and pickup arrangements that I have seen on youtube. Thank you so much for this.
@@epitaphboi4816 You can get a squier bullet for 150. It's Fender's affordable line of guitars, and I think it's meant for beginners. I got my electric guitar for free from my cousin, but's it's hella broken. some of the pick ups don't work. I'm still thankful for it though. I'm sure there are a lot of affordable guitars online, but squier is the first one that comes to mind for me. I recently got back into guitar after quitting. So i'm kind of on a video binge right now
Good call on the 335, no other guitar can cover the grounds that a hollowbody, strat, and tele can cover together, except for prog/metal/high gain sounds, but slightly modifying any of those 3 work just a well
The Fenders are more comfortable. The trem system in the strat is annoying if you don't use it. The tele is pleasingly simple. A hard tail strat with no trem is worth considering.
You didn’t mention scale length. I don’t have the biggest of hands - about average - and I’m preferring Gibson-Style & Fender Mustang Guitars because it’s easier to stretch to hit notes on those guitars. Gibson guitars are 24.75”, whereas Fender Tele & Strat are 25.5” - makes a huge difference when playing. Also - Fender Mustang is even shorter at 24” - really fun to play. PRS is in between Fender and Gibson’s at 25”.
3 Card Monty . I agree. Also, the longer scale length of the Fenders contributes to a brighter sound (one reason they are favored in country music to achieve the desired twang). Gibsons generally have a mellower tone because of the shorter scale. Granted, choice of strings, effects and obviously talent matter greatly but scale length should not be overlooked.
@@johnkelly748 Yep! 25.5" + good quality single coils = very nice bright sound! Even the fingerboard material - maple: a bit brighter or rosewood: a bit warmer - counts! I might be an out-of-the -fashion guy, but I prefer single coils to humbs.
@@gordospeti I've fallen in love with mini-humbuchers. I have a full size HB in the neck of my tele, and I want to either get a mini-humbucker or a Lipstick humbucker from a Danelectro
I forgot I was here for a refresher on guitar types, and got lost in the flawless vibrations of your playing.. You've clearly put in the work, but more specifically you ride that knife-edge of a sweet spot, where all aspects are perfectly in balance, the accuracy, clarity, flair, stamina, versatility, all on point
Epiphone Les Paul is a good rock /starter guitar IMHO. Jackson Dinky for metal/shredders. Strat for blues/country leads. Semi-Hollows for soulful blues/jazz leads & rhythms. A Tele is a do-all axe & durable too. Great video! It's the journey that makes music a way of life. Rock on.
9:38 .... ... Does anyone know this song? ... it's been sung by a girl, I have heard it only one time in the radio many many years ago.... .... .. meanwhile found it out: these chords so strongly remind me of Minnie Riperton's "loving you".. a tune popping out of a different life, ... a better time?
There is no such thing as an overated guitar. Its simply a matter of preference, because some guitar styles are more popular doesn't mean they are overated. Good video! 🙏🤟
My go-to is the 335-style semi-hollowbody, mainly because I can coax such an enormous variety of tones out of it. Of course, it also depends on what you're trying to achieve, and if it's single coil sound you're after, I think most of us would reach for a Strat, However, and this is key, for reasons that I still haven't been able to figure out yet, there are certain single coil tones that are only achievable with a Telecaster. Mind you, I've bend trying to get these infernal instruments to submit to my will for nearly fifty-five years, and though I have had some rather limited success from time to time, I stand by the above assertions, with one important caveat (cue the hate mail) : tone begins at the hands, tone comes from the hands, tone originates AT THE HANDS. I won't be dragged into another pointless discussion about this, but after all these years and all the countless rigs, I remain convinced that it's our fingers that are the most important factor in determining tone : how we express ourselves comes primarily from how we touch the instrument. All right, now, you kids go fight it out amongst yourselves .... 😎
How is It that in 20+ years of playing a strat have I never thought about tapping the bridge to get thay wammy effect without having the bar in. Mind blown
@@davidmuller6783 umm my favorite the one i want is an ibanez cause its gainy like metal and rock and you can set the distortion to be more favorable for the blues for any momment cost around 297 dollars For an acoustic well i really like the vicente tatay tomas but it was only made in 1950 and its a piece of art and it cost way more In the conditions i have mine fully original without any restaurations it can cost a whopping pp slapping meat banging 800-700 dollars so thats not worth it but great beginner guitar for an acoustic For acoustics umm i just forget the names bro😅
I've been playing for over 50 years, there are some guitars, you just have to compensate through the amp regardless. this guy? he is really good at what he does!!!!!!!!!!
what does it offer sonically over the 3 in the video, or any other solid body guitar with humbuckers?? it has a sound of its own sure, but its more of a vibe/specialty sound, not hugely versatile to impose itself clearly over the strat,tele,335 type categories. imo its above jazzmasters and deans, and alongside Ibanez and PRS, etc. for versatility and usability
sounds like your an incredible session musician! Well done! love the bebop style phrases on the Gibson. All styles seem spot on and make great sense for the settings!
A versatile guitar player will end up owning a Strat, a Tele, a 335 or similar, a Les Paul, and a high end acoustic. It could take a couple decades to settle on these and you might include a nice shred guitar... tons of good ones. You might include Rickenbacker and Gretsch like I did. You might get a couple basses... You might buy guitars based on particular amps you like. There is so much choice. Don’t be a “what guitar do I play” guitar player.
I would disagree I’ve been playing for a decade and the only guitar which ever feels right to play for hours on end is a strat. Granted I have about ten different strats now for different configurations, tones and styles of music this is what suits me best.
I’ve seen so many videos like this and people say something along the lines of “It’s which ever sounds the best” “It’s what feels the best” Honestly Fuck all that If you pickup a strat and you love how it sounds but hate how it looks And you pickup a les Paul and hate how it feels but love how it looks and that makes you want to play it more than the strat Then buy the les Paul At the end of the day the simple answer to this question is the one that makes you want to play Weather you want to play one that feels good or looks good Get the one you want to play
*made- since the 335s of the recent last years have been mostly lemons off the wall for me. Last decent one I touched was one from the early 2000's that felt like a 335 should.
Love that butterscotch telecaster... You can play about anyting with one . .. One of my favorite is James Burton he played with Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley if you name it I believe he's been there...... FOR MY PLAYING STYLE I THINK IT'S THE BEST GUITAR EVER BEEN MADE....

I'm sure there are a lot of affordable guitars online, but squier is the first one that comes to mind for me. I recently got back into guitar after quitting. So i'm kind of on a video binge right now
I recommend savibg more and buy a classic vibe
@@epitaphboi4816 Lmao, if you knew how stupid that sentence was, you wouldn't have said it
Good call on the 335, no other guitar can cover the grounds that a hollowbody, strat, and tele can cover together, except for prog/metal/high gain sounds, but slightly modifying any of those 3 work just a well
*SH Tele stands up*
Well yee-haw, bubsie!
That first guitar is beautiful, I want one exactly like that our similar
This guy was absolutely shredding throughout this. Great vid man
if you can only get one, get a strat - most versatile and get a fender if you can afford it.
Well I kinda disagree..Strats are great ofc..but play i play Gibson Firebird. .ES335...and a Les Paul...you cannot beat those guitars PERIOD!!!!!!
The Fenders are more comfortable. The trem system in the strat is annoying if you don't use it. The tele is pleasingly simple. A hard tail strat with no trem is worth considering.
@ agree. Have an ultra tele and it’s insanely comfortable. Like the strat too tho
This guy looks like the love child of Ross Geller and Kylo Ren
wow
I have no idea who those two are but I agree
Milan Stevanović Kylo Ren?
@@milanstevanovic6826 David Schwimmer and Adam Driver
9:37 wow
B_d_v N do you know what pedal he was using at that time?
@@jonny2273 probably just reverb.
Very useful, instructional, personal feeling video. Thanks a lot for helping me understand my stratocaster a bit better!
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repentt for the kingdom of heaven is at handddd
All you need is a T style and a 335 style. Both are so versatile and can fit in most genres. Really nice playing, by the way!
2:09 is the Captain's lick from Andertons :)
7:24 When you’re playing a high school dance and need to get back to the future: accept no substitutes.
How do you not have more likes? LOL!!
Especially if the band just got done playing Earth Angel and you're Jonesin' to channel your inner Chuck Berry. Accept no substitutes, indeed.
Fun fact: the ES guitar Marty plays wasn't invented in '55, which is when the movie is set!
Leaned more about guitars in 12:00 than I had my entire life. Great video!
Telecaster is the type of guitar for me.
Telecaster is the right guitar type for everyone, most people just don't know/haven't accepted it yet.
@@forfrigsakes3330 they look like shit tho
Same, BUT, with a rock/metal sound. And a custom body. Like how James root has a custom jazzmaster
@@forfrigsakes3330 I own a Tele and I love it but for metal something with dual humbuckers will always work better.
@@probablypapasmurf3786 I'm getting a tele with dual humbuckers and split coil in a couple days, from when I tried it in store I really like it
He is just radiating such positivity! Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪
As a beginner, placement of the output jack was what sold me on the Stratocaster style.
I'll go with the semihollow
I didn't know Ross from Friends carried on to play and show case guitars.
I’m a fender guy
But god that ES-335 was so nice
Love how this video is straight to the point.. here's the guitar.. here's what it does.. and heres how it all sounds.. thanks have a greta day
that was a good thing not to flood beginners like me with too much tech info; straight to the point !
When he hit that R&B on the Gibson. 🍯 to my ears.
You didn’t mention scale length. I don’t have the biggest of hands - about average - and I’m preferring Gibson-Style & Fender Mustang Guitars because it’s easier to stretch to hit notes on those guitars. Gibson guitars are 24.75”, whereas Fender Tele & Strat are 25.5” - makes a huge difference when playing. Also - Fender Mustang is even shorter at 24” - really fun to play. PRS is in between Fender and Gibson’s at 25”.
Scale length! Yours is a very important comment! Not everybody is born with big hands! :)
3 Card Monty . I agree. Also, the longer scale length of the Fenders contributes to a brighter sound (one reason they are favored in country music to achieve the desired twang). Gibsons generally have a mellower tone because of the shorter scale. Granted, choice of strings, effects and obviously talent matter greatly but scale length should not be overlooked.
@@johnkelly748 Yep! 25.5" + good quality single coils = very nice bright sound! Even the fingerboard material - maple: a bit brighter or rosewood: a bit warmer - counts! I might be an out-of-the -fashion guy, but I prefer single coils to humbs.
*cries in regret at having to sell his DC Boardwalk because the short scale length was a poor fit*
@@gordospeti I've fallen in love with mini-humbuchers. I have a full size HB in the neck of my tele, and I want to either get a mini-humbucker or a Lipstick humbucker from a Danelectro
Adding an LP to this video would’ve made it PERFECT
10:08 I thought he’s gonna play “I’ll be there for you” from Friends. I would die laughing 😂
I forgot I was here for a refresher on guitar types, and got lost in the flawless vibrations of your playing..
You've clearly put in the work, but more specifically you ride that knife-edge of a sweet spot, where all aspects are perfectly in balance, the accuracy, clarity, flair, stamina, versatility, all on point
Rock on! Thanks for watching! 🤘
Epiphone Les Paul is a good rock /starter guitar IMHO.
Jackson Dinky for metal/shredders.
Strat for blues/country leads.
Semi-Hollows for soulful blues/jazz leads & rhythms.
A Tele is a do-all axe & durable too.
Great video!
It's the journey that makes music a way of life.
Rock on.
Thanks 😊 I like the red one but pretty sure out my range , I will go with a Stratocaster as this will be my first guitar 🎸
9:38 .... ... Does anyone know this song?
... it's been sung by a girl, I have heard it only one time in the radio many many years ago....
....
.. meanwhile found it out: these chords so strongly remind me of Minnie Riperton's "loving you".. a tune popping out of a different life, ... a better time?
Minnie had an amazing voice!
Wow, smooth playing. Respect
Thank you for explaining the differences between the knobs, tone, pickups engaged, etc. And boy would I love to have an ES-335. Sounds like butter.
There is no such thing as an overated guitar. Its simply a matter of preference, because some guitar styles are more popular doesn't mean they are overated. Good video! 🙏🤟
My go-to is the 335-style semi-hollowbody, mainly because I can coax such an enormous variety of tones out of it. Of course, it also depends on what you're trying to achieve, and if it's single coil sound you're after, I think most of us would reach for a Strat, However, and this is key, for reasons that I still haven't been able to figure out yet, there are certain single coil tones that are only achievable with a Telecaster. Mind you, I've bend trying to get these infernal instruments to submit to my will for nearly fifty-five years, and though I have had some rather limited success from time to time, I stand by the above assertions, with one important caveat (cue the hate mail) : tone begins at the hands, tone comes from the hands, tone originates AT THE HANDS. I won't be dragged into another pointless discussion about this, but after all these years and all the countless rigs, I remain convinced that it's our fingers that are the most important factor in determining tone : how we express ourselves comes primarily from how we touch the instrument. All right, now, you kids go fight it out amongst yourselves .... 😎
After 3 years nobody gave enough shit to fight about it thats nice
Fell in love with 9:40
Didn't know Egon from Ghostbusters rocked that hard
How informative is this. If you're a teacher, you're definitely the best.
I'm always going to be partial to the fender mustang. The darker sounding single coils have a magic tone for me.
Umm, im gonna take all three
How is It that in 20+ years of playing a strat have I never thought about tapping the bridge to get thay wammy effect without having the bar in. Mind blown
Right???? Though you need the right type of strat, some of them dont bend without the whammy bar
Papo Fresquito | your bridge just has to be floating
What type of guitar is for you?
"Whatever is cheapest"
@Justin Y Fans just buy a 200$ strat thats good enough
At least go with something you know umm not the cheapest but theres a few good 200 buck ones yeah cool
@@speedyboi349 pls tell me some good guitars from 50 to 200 pls
@@davidmuller6783 umm my favorite the one i want is an ibanez cause its gainy like metal and rock and you can set the distortion to be more favorable for the blues for any momment cost around 297 dollars
For an acoustic well i really like the vicente tatay tomas but it was only made in 1950 and its a piece of art and it cost way more
In the conditions i have mine fully original without any restaurations it can cost a whopping pp slapping meat banging 800-700 dollars so thats not worth it but great beginner guitar for an acoustic
For acoustics umm i just forget the names bro😅
@@davidmuller6783 ohh theres the yamaha and pacifica for 200 dollars flat check them out
I keep coming back to this video its so good. The RnB demo on the ES just did it for me
I have multiple guitars of different types and for some reason I still can’t play like this. -awesome playing my friend
This is an amazing video...clearly no bullshit because you can hear everything change. Great player!
what a lovely introvert teacher
Nice video and very nice playing.
Nice playing. Last guitar I'd offload in tough times is the Tele. Versatile, ballsy, and it looks and feels good.
I've been playing for over 50 years, there are some guitars, you just have to compensate through the amp regardless. this guy? he is really good at what he does!!!!!!!!!!
i like how he picked the 3 guitars with the most variety
He just flexin his skills
Btw, no Les Paul???
donly pierre fuck les pauls
Jack Docherty fuck you
I like these two guys lmao
WhiskeyA1 no, fuck YOU
what does it offer sonically over the 3 in the video, or any other solid body guitar with humbuckers?? it has a sound of its own sure, but its more of a vibe/specialty sound, not hugely versatile to impose itself clearly over the strat,tele,335 type categories. imo its above jazzmasters and deans, and alongside Ibanez and PRS, etc. for versatility and usability
Damn. This was good info. To the point. Apart from that, the photo, lighting, sound, environment etc was perfect.
The Tele for for soul,C&W,Rock’n’Roll,electric blues,surf rock,funk and clean sounds
Tele is a great choice!
I’m always the guy with an sg
AC/DC inspired me to play guitar I got a gibson sg🤘🤘🤘
sounds like your an incredible session musician! Well done! love the bebop style phrases on the Gibson. All styles seem spot on and make great sense for the settings!
A versatile guitar player will end up owning a Strat, a Tele, a 335 or similar, a Les Paul, and a high end acoustic. It could take a couple decades to settle on these and you might include a nice shred guitar... tons of good ones. You might include Rickenbacker and Gretsch like I did. You might get a couple basses...
You might buy guitars based on particular amps you like. There is so much choice.
Don’t be a “what guitar do I play” guitar player.
I would disagree I’ve been playing for a decade and the only guitar which ever feels right to play for hours on end is a strat. Granted I have about ten different strats now for different configurations, tones and styles of music this is what suits me best.
@@danielleelizabeth9417 I used to only play one configuration for the first 20 years but now after 40 years playing, I enjoy the assortment. Cheers!
For me, My go to is two humbuckers. But I also love a p90 in the neck and always humbucker in the bridge.
I’ve seen so many videos like this and people say something along the lines of
“It’s which ever sounds the best”
“It’s what feels the best”
Honestly
Fuck all that
If you pickup a strat and you love how it sounds but hate how it looks
And you pickup a les Paul and hate how it feels but love how it looks and that makes you want to play it more than the strat
Then buy the les Paul
At the end of the day the simple answer to this question is the one that makes you want to play
Weather you want to play one that feels good or looks good
Get the one you want to play
Good job, fine skills!
Glad you used a 335 and not the les Paul. The 335 is the best guitar Gibson makes.
Agree, the ES-335 is an icon of an instrument, but so is the ES-175.
nah les paul is better imo
*made- since the 335s of the recent last years have been mostly lemons off the wall for me. Last decent one I touched was one from the early 2000's that felt like a 335 should.
Ikr
That's your opinion.
I choose the Tele, and I'm a metalhead.
Im a country boy and choose a tele too like waylon jennings did
The SG for me. Once I saw those devil horns I was instantly in love.
Love that butterscotch telecaster... You can play about anyting with one . .. One of my favorite is James Burton he played with Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley if you name it I believe he's been there...... FOR MY PLAYING STYLE I THINK IT'S THE BEST GUITAR EVER BEEN MADE....
