Top 5 Telecaster Players (add your own) - Page 3

jumpnblues · June 24th, 2006, 10:58 PM

Don't know if he's in the "top 5" but Kenny Neal just kills. Great tone, great phrasing, great feel, great technique, great singer, great writer. And if that's not enough he's a great harp, bass, keyboard player. And I think I read somewhere that he's also a pretty good drummer. But, man, can he play the heck out of a Tele?!!

I'm glad someone remembered Paul Burlison and Marc Ribot.

And since nobody's mentioned him (and nobody's likely to) - Chris Zaloom.

Not sure whether Dave Tronzo ever played a Tele but if not, I'm sure he'll get around to it.

Jelly · October 17th, 2006, 02:19 PM

1. Muddy Waters
2. Luther Perkins
3. Dan Auerbach
