Telecaster music/COUNTRY CONTENT!!

telesavant · March 2nd, 2008, 09:56 PM

These are a few excursions in 2/4 time. Working on replacing drum tracks with drummer.........the fast tunes are very time sensitive, and I'm finding, live anyway, they tend to speed them up, and when starting at 150 bpm....well, that's not good. Hope they sound ok.

WOW!!!!
Very very Nice. Sweet tone, articulate phrasing, spot on rhythmically.
Nice Job. Savant must be applicable.

Thanks all!! Very gracious of everyone..........most gratefull!!

jdtele · March 3rd, 2008, 08:48 PM

Great playing - and great sound. How about some details about the gear: guitar(s), amp/processor/effects, recording gear?

Also, do I detect some bender activity - especially on the first tune?

Never heard of driveway.com - easy to post? sounded really good.

PJ · March 3rd, 2008, 11:02 PM

Savant.....I enjoyed those. Keep them coming. How about a quick run-through on what gear you used - guitar, pickups, bender-gear
(sounds like some bender hardware, but I could be wrong), amp, etc.

telesavant · March 4th, 2008, 05:48 PM

Thanks for the interest!! Tune 1, "Steel Away" (the slower one) is a mix of manual bends, and bender pulls. Tune 2, "Cannonball Rag", has about 10% bender content. Tune 3, "Simpletown Breakdown", has aprox. 20% bender content, and all 3 have plenty of manual bends. I used a Custom Shop Tele: one-off, 5 pickup (4/jag., and 1, Fred Stuart vintage modified Esquire in the bridge), and I also used a modified Am.Std., w/ Jag. vibrato, stock PU's, and a Texas Special in the middle. I went through a Behringer V Amp Pro, direct into an Akai DPS-16 recorder. Pitch shifted the finished guitar tracks +10 cents to thicken them, mastered the finished tunes on the Alesis Master Link, and that was that. See referenced gear below.

Telesavant....
How do you rate the Behringer for this style of playing/recording.......sorry to go off topic.

Hey Vikki; Let's put it this way. I haven't explored the distortions much, but as for the clean settings, and effects........ I switched from my Pod Pro, and/or "miking" forever. Sounds sweeter than my Pod Pro, and NO hum, as when miking an amp........No phone call issues either, in the middle of your best take!! I actually went back With the V Amp Pro, and re-recorded everything I did with the amp miked with an expensive tube mic!! At $169.00 delivered, it was worth a try. Believe me no one was more reluctant than I, to EVER go direct. I do now, want to experiment with reamping....might just be extra work though. Thanks for the interest!!

Tele-evangelist · March 5th, 2008, 12:17 PM

Wow, great playing. I would have thought that there was more of the B-bender and less of the manual for some of that... guess I had better start practicing. Inspiring to say the least! BTW Is that an ebony fingerboard on the 5 pup Tele? Also, can any of you put me on to some Hipshot audio or video demonstrations? Thanks.

Thanks!! Very little "bender", in fact!! Yes, that is an ebony board on the red Tele. There are many "bender" videos out there, including mine..."Country String Bending". I think Will Ray has the only one, specific to the "Hipshot"... the title is, "B-Bender Mania".

tboy · March 5th, 2008, 04:19 PM

WOW. Yea, I love that. Great picking! It's THE sound. 7 just wants to make me never attempt country again. Or practice my butt off. Haven't decided yet.

superlightweigh · March 5th, 2008, 08:36 PM

telesavant,
those were really nice, thanx for sharing.

Daddydex · March 6th, 2008, 12:32 PM

Excellent playing Telesavant. Thanks for sharing.

McFly · March 6th, 2008, 01:35 PM

I am totally blown away by track 7! Amazing stuff, what touch and speed.

telesavant · March 6th, 2008, 02:25 PM

Once again; THANKS TO EVERYONE!!!........Pauly

vikki · March 6th, 2008, 04:12 PM

Paul....
Can we come for lessons?

Are you making a new tuition tape/dvd?
Vikki(uk)

telesavant · March 6th, 2008, 04:43 PM

Hello again Vikki; I'm working on another DVD....Tele-licks, open runs, more manual bends, bender licks, "over the nut" bends, and examples in performance. Thanks again for your interest!!

Redd Volkaert · March 10th, 2008, 12:25 PM

Shazzam!
That sounds great as usual even better and smoother than before, if thats possible. Can I do that if I grow up?

Paul used to live in Noshville Tn and worked at a music store where the folks (me included) would come in everyday just to get him to demonstrate guitars and amps, so they could hear him play like this and walk away depressed, but in a good practicing kind of way.

If you haven't got his B-Bending Video, go get it, even without the bender stuff, its great playing and lots of good hard stuff to try and learn!!

KEEP it up Paul!
Redd

ole6string · March 10th, 2008, 01:13 PM

For some reason I can't get the link to work..... bummer!

Hi Redd; Thanks for the much appreciated feedback!! I miss Nashville, the Stagecoach etc.....You did some STELLAR work there!! I still have the "Tele Players money clip" you gave me (a beer can, pop tab, with a penny in it), boy you weren't kidding!!
Continued success to a GREAT player, Thanks again, Pauly
