"Slow Blues" would be a good one to start with

Two words - Greg Koch:

(if you want to get right to the rockin' stuff, it starts around 3:20 - but there's a lot of great pickin' before that!)


Further proof that Teles can't rock - Jimmy Page played the solo in "Stairway to Heaven" on a Tele, as well as much of the rest of the guitar on Led Zeppelin I and II.

It's not that tele's can't rock, it's just that they are stereotyped as country western guitars. They play every bit as well as a strat. I just prefer the feel of a strat myself. If I wanted to buy a single cutaway designed guitar, then it would be a Les Paul.
Some kids are naturals when it comes to learning guitar. Apparently this kid is one of em. Very good tecnique!!

it looked to me like he was playing air guitar over a recording.
either that or he was switching between parts a lot because it seemed frequently that what i was seeing him do, was not what i was hearing.
