Name your favorite Tele player if you can.

[Memphis Soul]

I say if you can because I’m not sure I can. There’s Steve Cropper, Don Rich, Buck Owens, Pete Anderson, Ed Bickert, Albert Collins, and many others but I guess if I was to have to pick a favorite it would be Don Rich. I only recently in the last few years started getting into the Bakersfield country really heavy and came to love Don Rich but I will always be a Steve Cropper fan. See if you can name a favorite.

 

[Swirling Snow]

Muddy Waters.

Followed by Keith Richards, I suppose.

Jimmy Page
Prince
Clapton played one occasionally

See I totally forgot about Prince and he is one of my all time Tele players.

 

[KillingTone]

John 5

 

[Holy smokes]

Keef. The crazy little englishman

 

[timbgtr]

Brent Mason

I have to go with Ed Bickert.

Or Danny Gatton….

Top 3 Chrissy Hyde, Keef, Steve Cropper. I think being a good rhythm player is harder and more important than lead. These players have influenced my playing more anybody. There's a lot more going on there than meets the eye. You have to carry the song and stay out of the way at the same time.

All three great players but I think Steve Cropper is a guitar genius.

James Burton.

Oooof. Clarence White. Either James Burton or Clarence White. I can't choose one.

I enjoy listening to all of those already mentioned. Bruce Springsteen and Ed Bickert were the first ones I heard in concert.

I’d have to go with Steve Cropper.

I was just reading this today, from The Guitar Handbook.

 

[SuperPA]

Keith Richards, followed closely by Dan Baird.

I'm really sorry that you guys missed players like Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanon, and Albert Lee.

I’m sorry you missed post #8.

And who is Roy Buchanon?

Love Danny Gatton. Never listened to the other two much but both amazing players.

My favorite Tele player has to be Vince Gill. I also really like Pete Anderson.
