Should have known I'd be called on that! Everyone use one, I'm imagining, at one time or another. Even Jimmy Page for the first Zeppelin album and tour, the one left over from the Yardbirds. Someone once told me he bought it from Rick Nielsen, though I don't know that it's true. There is some debate as to whether he put humbuckers on it to get the nasty tone or just cranked the amps up to oblivion. He also had a Danelectro, so you may have more in common with Jimmy Page than you thought, Hound!MusicTvGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539902593398037840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-66169777168709845622010-01-22T00:56:50.002-05:002010-01-22T00:56:50.002-05:00Lots of rock'n'roll players used Tele'...Lots of rock'n'roll players used Tele's including James Burton, Robbie Robertson (w/Dylan and the Hawks), Roy Buchanan, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck (in the Yardbirds), Dewey Terry, I can go on and on.

As per The Hound, I also saw The Pirates show at Hurrah's on a Saturday night, I believe, in 1978. Having seen, and idolized, one of his great progenies, Pete Townshend, many times over the years, it was nothing short of revelatory to be in front of the original master. To this moment I have never witnessed the kind of slashing, simultaneous rhythm / lead combinations that he unleashed. His guitar tone was also like nothing I'd ever heard. The Tele for me had always been something of a country picker's instrument, and maybe Albert Collins for Blues, but never rock, it was too damn clean. I was about to learn differently...MusicTvGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539902593398037840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-8965678010382740622010-01-19T17:38:02.533-05:002010-01-19T17:38:02.533-05:00Yeah, what they said...

Green left Johnny Kidd for the Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas gig in July '64. His last 45 with Kidd was "Whole Lotta Woman"/"Your Cheatin' Heart" which was released several months later. He stayed with Kramer until '67, whereupon The Dakotas cut two Kramer-less 45's for Page One and Phillips respectively.
