Telemaster you'd want to dual with on stage.

Blazer · July 27th, 2005, 06:35 PM

Okay all of us have fantasies, some will come true and some will never. But if you could get on stage and play with some well known Telemaster and do a Jamm where the both of you would exchange solos, who would it be?

In my case it would be this guy.

I got into Brad Paisley through his rompin' an' stompin' cover of ZZ-Top's "Sharp Dressed man" And sometimes I find myself playing along with that version and solo through the Violin Part and then let go of the fretboard when Brad solo's.

But as all of the players who attended the Dutch TDPRI meeting will tell you, I am no chicken picker, Brad would leave no splinter of me intact if I tried to compete with him on that level.

However, if I play the Surfer/Rockabilly style I do have and use the reverb on full I can hold my own while adding some other sound to the song.

Oh well I can dream...

RockinCarl · July 27th, 2005, 07:42 PM

For me it would be Danny Gatton, and well, I know for sure that won't happen....

telefreak · July 27th, 2005, 08:56 PM

Oooh, tough one
Jeff Buckley
Graham Coxon
Jonny Greenwood
Frank Black
And my friend Bed, just to see who can get the most out of thier Tele.
I'll win of course, he favours his Les Paul, whereas I favour my Tele over everything else.
I know how they work

BB · July 27th, 2005, 09:04 PM

Albert C and Kenny Blue Ray ( when he's playing his pinecaster ) would do the trick for me thank you very much!

Except for the word "duel".....I would prefer "interplay".

Brad Miller · July 27th, 2005, 09:57 PM

Albert Lee, no, John Jorgenson, No, Brent Mason, ........Heck, whats the point.

Brad Miller · July 27th, 2005, 09:58 PM

Seriously though, BILL HULLETT!

jjh37854 · July 27th, 2005, 10:01 PM

hmm, I would like someone who was thought of as great, but I thought was stinky, then I could crush him. lol.....jk...kind of....

who would I never want to trade licks with as I would appear as a silly fool.

Paisley
Clarence W
Vince G

and the 2 I fear the most
Redd V
J. Burton

thats just taste I am likely to never have.

0le FUZZY · July 27th, 2005, 10:01 PM

Bill Hullett, Reggie Young, Redd Volkaert and Terry Downs.

I Dream on !! It ain't never gonna happin jes like Fenner ain't never gonna send me a decal fer 0le Richard (thanx Duncan fer the great giff and yer good heart).

mellecaster · July 27th, 2005, 10:03 PM

The nearest I'll get in my advancing years....was about 3 wks. ago, kneeling down next to Redd, both of us in front of a Peavey Deuce w/ 2x12s...watchin him pick, tryin to make the Peavey sound like sumptin he was used to....and in about 5 min....damned if he Didn't !!!

Chris S. · July 27th, 2005, 10:20 PM

Tell ya what, I was lucky enough to play with Danny onstage on several occasions, and it was like trying to surf a tsunami: fun, but definitely not for the faint of heart. ;-) And it wasn't like he was trying to be mean, or have a "cutting contest" or anything even remotely like that, it was just him having <u>musical</u> fun. I'd play a line, he'd play it back in double stops – at twice the speed. Yipes. Or we'd play a twin part on something like "Remington Ride" – and he'd play two harmony parts at once, grinning ear to ear. Just... scary. =:-O

Meanwhile, I'm with Fuzzy:

I gree thew! ;-) Man, I'd love to play with any one of those four fine folks (and I bet I'd play the same "solo," too.) ;-) Hee. That would be a blast. We can dream, can't we? :-) CS

Emmylou Harris, Shelby Lynne, Sheryl Crow and Crissie Hynde.

Yeah, baby!!!!

petebradt · July 27th, 2005, 10:37 PM

Mah buddy! Wasn't really "dueling," just two friends getting a chance to play some music together. That's my Tele he's playing.

OutlawSteph · July 27th, 2005, 11:05 PM

Jim Lauderdale.. he's cute! :P

Duncan · July 27th, 2005, 11:42 PM

Fuzzy, you're welcome. Hopefully, ole Richard won't feel nekkiid too much longer...

I got to play for a minute or two with James Burton at a NAMM booth when I was with *that* company. I played all three of the country licks I know, and I repeated them a couple of times!

James is a very nice guy and can still play up a storm...

Tele295 · July 28th, 2005, 01:54 AM

James Burton

rkwatkins · July 28th, 2005, 02:38 AM

Evening all,
I think that Tim has it right. Like ya'll, I think I got fire in my belly, but truth be told, I'd rather play with a great songwriter and singer than have to chase my tail around all night long. And if I could play with one of my favorite tele players it would be Tommy Emmanuel, who's better known as an incredible acoustic picker (not just my opinion, chet thinks so too,) but kicks serious butt on an old bound custom.
good tone to all,
rk

Yeah, that sounds like a good lot, to me, 0.F. I'd throw Brent and Brad into the mix, too.

Of course, I wouldn't be caught dead or alive trying to match solos with any of 'em or take a solo of my own in front of 'em. I'd kinda like to keep a shred of dignity, thanks. :D

(Hey, I just live down the road a piece from Mr. B. Hullett himself. He's practically a neighbor. Do you still think I'd ever even take my Telecaster out of its case in front of him? No way! :P )

Joel

mellecaster · July 28th, 2005, 12:22 PM

I'm a big fan of Tommy also, but all I have is his acoustic stuff..(solo & w/ Chet)....do you have any idea where I could find any recordings of him on a Tele ?..I would love to hear that !

Fuzzy...yer rite about them extra digits..(hehe)
and you outta here the Boy" Travis pick"...didn't know he could do that ! :)

Jakedog · July 28th, 2005, 12:45 PM

I'm not one for duelin', but I WOULD like to just jam with a few folks. Kind of a, "let's go out to the garage, have a few beers, and play some guitar" kind of thing.

I would love to play ping pong with John Beland. That would be alot of fun. Alot of the guys I would love to pick with aren't really tele players though. I'd give up favorite parts of my anatomy to have a jam with Dickie Betts. That would be my all time high. I would also dearly love to go out to the tele shack and spend some time pickin' with Fuzzy. I think that could turn into a great "lost afternoon". I have got to meet you someday Fuzzy.

As an aside, the most fun I ever had on a stage with another guitar player, was down in Dallas in the spring of '98. I went to a jam night and ended up rippin' it up with Hash Brown for about a half hour. It was two teles, two tube amps, and more fun than anybody should ever be allowed to have. He was a helluva nice guy too. Does anybody know if he still does that jam at the Hole In The Wall on thursday nights?

Jake

Rob Rent · July 28th, 2005, 01:05 PM

like Chris....I played with Danny a few times....and it was like being dragged around by a fast horse...for ME anyhow..........As a matter of fact the first time I played with him...I thought I was a pretty hot player...I changed my mind within seconds of starting the first song....and by the end of the set I realized not only was I not a "hot" player....I had to redefine "hot"....All this was about 24 years ago......I still play with almost anybody that'll let me....but to go see any one of my favorites....just seeing and hearing them is plenty good enough for me....

T. Red · July 28th, 2005, 01:32 PM

A couple years ago Redd came and sat in with my band for a whole night. I've never had so much fun getting my ass kicked!
A couple weeks later I went skydiving with a friend, and before we got on the plane my wife asked if I was scared. I told her that after playing with Redd skydiving wasn't ****!

Exactly how I felt backing up Redd on his Swedish tour last year. What a pleasure to stand beside him and hear those finger "telewack" the audience to a frenzy. A really cool experience!
