20 Classic Telecaster Guitar Riffs in One Take | Reverb Riff Marathons

Treat yourself or find the perfect gift for your favorite music maker. From Elvis to the Prince, from Johnny Cash to Marilyn Manson, it seems like every guitarist has gotten a piece of the Telecaster action and created some of the most memorable guitar riffs ever recorded. Joe selected 20 of his favorites and rocked them all out in a single take. Which riffs would you add to this edition of #RiffMarathons?

The fact that you can go from Manson to Cash to Prince really shows how amazingly versatile the Tele is!

1:13 that face.. that is the face you see someone make before playing Stairway to heaven in Guitar Center..

Teles, we like them Clean but we love 'em Dirty ;-)

Joe’s a very skilled player, but I’m always super impressed with his ability to memorize riffs and tunes. Would love to hear his story as a musician.

[marvinburbach]

Some of the transitions are insanely awesome. That dude can play. 👏🏼

[kevinbrown]

Makes me want to go out and buy a telecaster!

[JamesClarke.yt.]

Incredible, love the sound of an overdriven tele, Paranoid Android was perfect

[codythedoggo]

Fuzz on a tele is the greatest thing ever

[jonahlouque]

Jonny always writes the craziest solos, brilliant guitarist.

[jongo]

That was amazing. The transitions were so seamless for a shot that appeared to be in one take. And the player is a beast!

In my book you are one of the TOP 100 GUITARISTS in the WORLD. I have heard you play in many videos and advertisements and you are one of the few I don't stop the video. Now, after this video you get "my" award. Thank YOU!

[pressstartfrank]

Thanks, Reverb! Because of you, I found the Telecaster of my dreams!

10 years after, more on Math Rock riffs will be remembered on a Tele like Never Meant by this band called

Not sure what's more impressive, knowing/playing that variety of songs or the smooth multitasking with the effects. That's a lot going on at once!

I recently bought a Squier Bullet Telecaster in a beautiful surf green :) didn’t really know the history behind this amazing CLASSIC guitar and the more I find out about it the more proud I am for making that decisions for purchase, I love her so much (the guitar) haha. Great video man this makes me wanna pick’er up and learn some more

[JoeMode]

The playing is fantastic, such a wonderful range of skills and incredible interpretation thrown in.

[koho]

Joe -awesome mashup! Must have been fun to put together. Reverb's lucky to have you.

[michaelruiz]

Great playing, however, Some Zeppelin I, like Communication Breakdown, would have been an immediate go-to for me, but that's the cool thing about the tele, it's been everywhere and holds up tried and true

[iagobroxado]

Wha'ts being used for the fuzz tone on Paranoid here??? Sounds great!

[jakemguitarist]

The aggression with Heart Full Of Soul... i’m living for it
