Ci siamo già bruciati l'annata ...

La tele da accompagnamento, la les paul per i soli, Harrison, Richards ecc. Cazzo, impossibile fare di meglio 

[Guest Re Mida]

Si sa che rileggi il post a modo tuo e ci scrivi cosa che nessuno ha scritto come che la tele sia da accompagnamento. Poi se ti toccano i tuoi "miti" è peggio di offenderti i familiari... aahauahuahu Silvestro nel 2014 io avrò scritto il primo post di merda, ma tu cerca di crescere un pò. 

 

 

Ora sicuramente c'è qualcuno che se ne esce con Keith Richard che per me con la parola "chitarrista", per come lo intendo io, c'entra poco, come c'entra poco anche George Harrison che erano anche bei musicisti ma la chitarra la usavano come accompagnamento in un contesto più ampio, come base ritmica al pari del basso, niente a che vedere con la chitarra "rock". 

 

[th3madcap 1878]

Marco, ti si contesta il teorema secondo cui 'fare la storia del rock' = assolo indimenticabile.

A mio avviso è un modo miope di vedere non solo la chitarra, ma anche tutta la musica.

A parte il fatto che se proprio vogliamo essere pignoli la chitarra è uno strumento di accompagnamento. Il chitarrista bravo è quello che sa accompagnare, che sa completare un pezzo, e l'assolo è solo un dettaglio della musica. Anche nel Rock.

Poi oh, ognuno la pensa come vuole.

Per me uno come Andy Latimer è un chitarrista strepitoso, ha fatto cose bellissime e funzionali alla sua musica e pur non avendo mai fatto assoli memorabili secondo me ha contribuito non poco alla storia del rock

Sembra un 3d di Moff

Che aggiungere di piu' ?

Hai detto tutto e condivido (anche Silvestro condivido)

Jeff Beck (born 1944) Emerging in the mid 1960s with The Yardbirds, Beck proved that a ragged Fender Esquire could moan like a fuzzed-out violin. His lines in “Heart Full of Soul” and “Evil Hearted You” defined psychedelic guitar.^[5]

Ed Bickert (born 1932) is a premier jazz player who started playing a Telecaster when his regular guitar was in the shop, and he has used it for the rest of his career.^[6]

Frank Black (born 1965) of the Pixies is a long-time Telecaster player.^[7]

• Roy Buchanan (1939–1988), a blues/rock musician whose playing inspired the likes of Jeff Beck, earning him the title "The Guitarist's Guitarist's Guitarist," was a faithful Tele man during his solo career.^[9]

Jeff Buckley (1966–1997), an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, used a borrowed '83 toploader Telecaster that became a staple of his performances and recordings.^[10]

James Burton (born 1939) has played a Telecaster since he was 13, and he has influenced many other guitarists. He was the most visible player of the Tele in the late '50s, appearing on television with Ricky Nelson almost every week on the Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet.^[11] His most famous guitar is the Paisley Red Tele, which he first used while performing with Elvis Presley.^[12] He has also played with Gram Parsons and Merle Haggard.

Mike Campbell (born 1950), best known for his work with Tom Petty, has stated that his 1950 Broadcaster has been one of his live mainstay guitars since the beginning of the Heartbreakers. On their first and second albums, he recorded most of his solos & rhythm parts on songs such as "American Girl", "Breakdown", and "I Need to Know" using his Broadcaster exclusively. Mike also played an early-'70s Telecaster with two humbuckers and Bigsby vibrato tailpiece nicknamed "Big Red".^[14]

Albert Collins (1932–1993) ("The Master of the Telecaster") created his original blues sound using minor open tunings and a capo placed high up on the neck.^[15] Fender offers an Albert Collins Signature Telecaster based on his '66 model, which features a humbucker in the neck position.

Graham Coxon (born 1969), guitarist of Blur, has relied on the Telecaster for the majority of his career, achieving a distinctive sound underlined by an inventive use of effects that played an integral part in Blur's success during the 1990s. He uses a blonde 1968 Telecaster with a Gibson PAF Pickup, a 1960 Lake Placid blue Telecaster Relic, and a 1972 Telecaster Deluxe, while his time with Blur saw him use a reissue 1952 blonde Telecaster.^[16]

Jerry Donahue (born 1946) of Fairport Convention released a solo album in 1986 called Telecasting and was a member of the Telecaster trio called the Hellecasters.^[19]

Bob Dylan (born 1941) owned a black-and-white 1958 Telecaster which became one of his first electric guitars, shaping his controversial electric sound. He used this guitar on his epic 1966 tour of Australia and Europe.^[20]

It was also pictured on the back of his 1984 solo album About Face.^[24] He used a Telecaster for some early recordings, and used a sunburst Telecaster for all of the guitar solos (both live and in studio) on the track "Dogs" from Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals.^[26] He used a 1952 reissue yellow Telecaster on live performances of "Run Like Hell" on the live albums and home videos Delicate Sound of Thunder and Pulse,^[27][28] as well as on performances of "Astronomy Domine" (as originally written and performed by Esquire player Syd Barrett—see above) on the European leg of the tour in support of The Division Bell.^[28] A recording of the song was included on Pulse.

Ted Greene (1946–2005), a Southern California guitarist, helped Fender design an accurate '52 Telecaster vintage reissue (their first such reissue) by referencing his extensive collection of old Telecasters, Broadcasters and Nocasters. Ted was most famous as being one of the top jazz guitar instructors on the west coast. He was also the author of several instructional books "Chord Chemistry," "Modern Chord Progressions," and Single Note Soloing Volumes 1 and 2."^[29]

Jonny Greenwood (born 1971) of Radiohead has made extensive use of the Telecaster since the late 80's. He notably uses a Telecaster Plus model with a an added cutoff switch.^[30]

Fender selected the better of two prototypes built, flew it to England in its own personal seat along with a courier, and hand-delivered the guitar to Apple offices in December 1968. Harrison used this guitar during The Beatles famous 'Get Back Sessions' as well as on the Beatles' 1970 album Let It Be and 1969's Abbey Road. Of equal notability, Harrison used the rosewood Tele for the Beatles' last public performance in 1969, famously referred to as 'the Rooftop concert'. Harrison subsequently gave this instrument to Delaney Bramlett.^[22]

PJ Harvey (born 1969) used to play a borrowed 1967 Telecaster (from friend John Parish) during her early career. In a 1995 interview to Guitar Player, she declared: "John's Telecaster is closer to my heart. It's on all my records — I used to nick it all the time."^[32] Later, in 2000, when she received the Mercury Music Prize, she bought her own 60s Telecaster.

Robyn Hitchcock (born 1953) has used a Telecaster since 1979 for his distinctive English electric psychedelic sound, and said that it "... chose itself for me as my favourite electric guitar, because so many of my favourite guitar riffs were played on it."^[33]

Steve Howe (born 1947) has used a 1955 Telecaster, customized with a different toggle switch and a humbucker in the neck position for the first time in the entire 1974 YES album "Relayer", and after that frequently uses his Telecaster in various live performances and in several studio recordings.^[34]

Chrissie Hynde (born 1951) has often used her blue Telecaster with The Pretenders, and it was pictured on the jacket of their album Get Close.^[35]

Waylon Jennings (1937–2002), a country legend, played many 1953 Telecasters which were covered with white-and-black leather carved in an oak leaf and floral motif. He also had some other Teles, but he mostly played two of his '53s. He has been honored by Fender with a Waylon Jennings Tribute Telecaster.^[36]

Wilko Johnson (born John Wilkinson, 12 July 1947, Canvey Island, Essex), a British R&B and Pub Rock legend, exponent of 'machine gun' rhythm/lead style that has inspired punk and speed metal players alike. He has played the same black tele with red pickguard for years as founder member of Dr Feelgood and subsequently with Ian Dury's Blockheads as well as his own bands. "The punk guitarist's punk guitarist was Wilko Johnson of Dr Feelgood"^[37]

John 5 (born 1971) is a heavy metal/country guitarist who has played with Marilyn Manson and who is known for his proficiency at shredding. Fender now produces a J5 Signature Telecaster which John 5 co-designed.^[38]

K-P[edit]

• Bill Kirchen (born 1947), longtime Telecaster devotee who played in Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen during the 1970s and continues to drive his well-abused Tele to the limits of the rockabilly sound.^[39] Known for his barnstorming live licks and stylisitic diversity, Kirchen's first Telecaster came to him in a 1967 even trade with a stranger he met on bus, Kirchen exchanging his own Gibson SG in the deal^[40]

• Albert Lee (born 1943), whose instrumental work has influenced many other guitarists, has played a Telecaster since 1963.^[19] As a long-time Tele player, he wrote a foreword to A. R. Duchossoir's book detailing the history of the guitar.^[41]

Alex Lifeson (born 1953), the guitarist of Rush, frequently uses the Telecaster in live performances and in studio recordings.^[42]

Brent Mason (born 1959), a prolific Nashville session musician.^[43] Gibson produces a Brent Mason Signature guitar, which is modeled after Mason's heavily customized 1968 Telecaster. It features 2 "stacked" pick-ups (bridge and middle) and one mini humbucker (neck position), and an additional volume control to "bleed in" the middle pick-up.

Johnny Marr (born 1963), famously used a Telecaster on The Smith's hit "This Charming Man."^[44]

Muddy Waters (1913–1983) helped build a bridge between the blues and rock with his "walls of electrified sound," played on his red '57 Telecaster.^[45] Until 2010, Fender sold a Muddy Waters Telecaster, one of the guitars in its Signature series.

Roy Nichols (1932–2001) was a guitarist in Merle Haggard's group The Strangers, and famously used the "chicken pickin'" technique for which the Telecaster is so well suited. Fittingly, an image of a Telecaster is engraved on his tombstone.^[46]

Mike Oldfield (born 1953), aged 16, got a 66 blonde Telecaster which used to belong to Marc Bolan.^[47] He performed all the guitar parts of his breakthrough album Tubular Bells with this guitar, and most parts of his next albums.

Buck Owens (1929–2006), along with Don Rich and their custom sparkle-finish Telecasters, helped create the distinctive Bakersfield sound of country music in the early 1960s.^[48] Owens' personal Telecaster was gold with a red, white, and blue pickguard, reminicesant of his famous American Flag style Acoustic guitar.

Jimmy Page (born 1944), though more known for his use of the Gibson Les Paul, used a Telecaster in his earlier work with The Yardbirds and on Led Zeppelin's first album, as well as on Stairway to Heaven, one of Led Zeppelin's most famous tracks.^[49] Page later used the Telecaster in recording and touring for his solo album Outrider.^[50]

Rick Parfitt (born 1948) of Status Quo, "one of Britain's longest-lived bands," is a faithful Tele player.^[51]

Brad Paisley (born 1972) plays guitars from an extensive collection of Telecasters and Tele-inspired models, including his "warhorse," a '68 Red Paisley model (the same model that James Burton made famous) named "Old Pink." One notable feature on some of his guitars is a G-bender device. Paisley has custom Tele-inspired models made by Crook Custom Guitars.^[52]

Luther Perkins (1928–1968), a member of Johnny Cash's backing band The Tennessee Two/Three used his Esquire to create the "boom-chicka" rhythms that came to characterize much of Cash's music.^[45]

Q-Z[edit]

il primo syd barret, non era un chitarrista, ma cantava favolette per bambini, e poi la storia l'ha fatta quando si è tolto dalle balle....    

[Guest Alucard]

Sembra un 3d di Moff 

 non dirlo manco per scherzo.

[Giulio60 399]

Marco, e' assurdo togliere la Tele dalla storia della chitarra/rock

Le tue idee sono legittime, ma non puoi andare contro la realta', essa e' gia' stata scritta ed accettata da tutti proprio perche' e'... "realta' "

[Guest Re Mida]

 non dirlo manco per scherzo.

 

... 'nzomma.

[Guest marc]

il primo syd barret, non era un chitarrista, ma cantava favolette per bambini, e poi la storia l'ha fatta quando si è tolto dalle balle....    

 

ma il terzo in lista dove lo mettiamo??

[th3madcap 1878]

il primo syd barret, non era un chitarrista, ma cantava favolette per bambini, e poi la storia l'ha fatta quando si è tolto dalle balle....    

 

 

ahuhuahuahua come posso non concordare... 

 

 

mi avete quasi convinto

E comunque sempre per essere pignoli Barrett usava una Esquire

[Guest Re Mida]

Devo allora aggiornare la lista delle verie nullità della storia del rock per RC  : Harrison, Richards, Clash, Dylan, Springsteen, Jannacci, Barrett.

Me ne son persi una decina nel corso del tempo, ma provvederò con un foglio Excel 

[massisv 331]

ok, chiudiamo la corsa al thread demmerda 2014.

si può solo arrivare secondi da qui in avanti.

 

grazie di cuore Marco78asterischino. Mi eri mancato.

[th3madcap 1878]

il revisionismo storico applicato al Rock. Se ne sentiva proprio l'esigenza.     

[jettojet 174]

Marco, ti si contesta il teorema secondo cui 'fare la storia del rock' = assolo indimenticabile.

A mio avviso è un modo miope di vedere non solo la chitarra, ma anche tutta la musica.

A parte il fatto che se proprio vogliamo essere pignoli la chitarra è uno strumento di accompagnamento. Il chitarrista bravo è quello che sa accompagnare, che sa completare un pezzo, e l'assolo è solo un dettaglio della musica. Anche nel Rock.

Poi oh, ognuno la pensa come vuole.

Per me uno come Andy Latimer è un chitarrista strepitoso, ha fatto cose bellissime e funzionali alla sua musica e pur non avendo mai fatto assoli memorabili secondo me ha contribuito non poco alla storia del rock

 

Mi sento di condividere assolutamente il tuo pensiero, sia per quanto riguarda la funzione della chitarra nella musica (e lo dice un fan di Malmsteen prima maniera ), sia per Latimer, che è uno dei chitarristi più (ingiustamente) sottovalutati della storia del rock

[Konkey Dong 627]
