Author: Tony Bacon

This new version of Tony Bacon's Six Decades of the Fender Telecaster shows how the world's first commercially successful solidbody electric guitar still attracts musicians more than 60 years since its birth in California. Today, it is more popular than ever and for many guitarists has overtaken the Stratocaster as the Fender to own and play. The Tele is the longest-lived solidbody electric, played by everyone from Muddy Waters to Keith Richards, from Radiohead to Snow Patrol. Its sheer simplicity and versatility are vividly illustrated here through interviews with Jeff Beck, James Burton, Bill Kirchen, John 5, and more. The book is three great volumes in one: a compendium of luscious pictures of the most desirable Teles, a gripping story from the earliest days to the latest exploits, and a detailed collector's guide to every Tele ever made. Packed with pictures of great players, collectable catalogs, period press ads, and cool memorabilia, The Telecaster Guitar Book is the one Tele book that all guitar fans will want to add to their collection.

The Telecaster [TM] is the only guitar to have ever spawned its own cult of "Teleplayers." The Tele's raw, penetrating sound, combined with unique physical characteristics such as a deeply scooped headstock and placement of its volume and tone controls enable Teleplayers to exploit techniques and sounds not available on other guitars. In this presentation, Telemaster Arlen Roth teaches you all the classic licks and riffs of the great Telemasters, as well as techniques such as pedal steel bends, behind-the-nut bends, chicken pickin', classic rockabilly rhythm styles, blues techniques, shuffle patterns, full chord bends, banjo rolls, and more. Special DVD features include a tuning segment, a bonus performance by Albert Lee, a bonus lesson (behind-the-nut bends), and a sample lesson from the book/CD matching.
