tele's

Are there any chicken pickers out there, and if there is, What type of bridge pickups have you used.

I'm still early in the Chicken picken.I do like my Teles.I like Texas Specials and the 52RI.

glad to see some chicken pickers out here. You play country? What kind of amp? What effects?
My favorite guitars:Joe Glaser tele w/bender, Tom Anderson hollow T.

Well, not a chicken picker, but Tele's are my favourite guitars, about time we got some more on here.

I just switched my neck pickup for a Seymour Duncan 59 wired series/parallel, and I will be switching my bridge pickup for a Hot Rails. Also getting my neck/bridge wired in series/out of phase.

I use a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with a 2MXR EQ's, VOX wah, BOSS Delay, Flange, Blues Driver, Dunlop Tremolo, Ibanez Tube Screamer.

I don't know what a chicken picker is. If I needed a guitar for slight distortion (not quite clean but nowhere near metal)or for blues I would definitely go with a tele.

Chicken Picker is super fast country guitar, thats the way I understand it.

I've never really listened to country music. I love the guitar work but the whole halfdrunkandrrawwlandslurlahkyuhbenkikedinthethroat singer thing is kinda annoying.

I'm from Ky and chicken pickin' is whats fo dinner.

If you really wonder what chicken picken' is, Then go get a cd called Brent Mason "HOTWIRED". He is a nashville session guitarist that put this cd out about 5 years ago.

I play a Telecaster body that wa built for me by RSGUITARWORKS in Winchester,Ky. It has a swamp ash body w/orange nitrocellulose finish, A Seymour Duncan 5 2 sigle coil in the bridge, A classic stack single in the middle, and a baby humbucker in the neck. The neck is off of an old 1983 American tele. Also i play a (1998) stratocaster w/ custom shop fat 50's, rosewood fingerboard that's been beat to death. I play through a Fender Twin and a blues junior w/ jensen speaker. My pedals are as follows: Boss tu-2 tuner,Dunlop Super comp (for that Nashville sound), Modified Analog man Tube Screamer, Jeckyll and hyde ultimate overdrive, Boss CE-5 chorus, and a Boss delay pedal, and an earnie ball volume pedal for steel licks.

He does a good rendition of sugar foot rag, that's a fun song. I've also heard the guitarist for marilyn manson play it, it's available at john5.com

What kind of setup do you use and what type of music do you play

Cort CL1000, although I can easily think of a couple dozen guitars that would fit me more. Right now I'm between amps and I'm not in a band.

I like playing classic rock, metal-disco, hard rock, blues, ska, reggae, punk influence (although pop-punk disgusts me), jazz, and acoustic sim in churches sundays (I just plug into the system for that).

The styles I've actually performed in the last couple years would be acoustic sim, ska, punk, jazz (those were definitely the biggest gigs) and pop-rock.

If I was a better guitarist I would play bluegrass, but that's some elite technique there. I would also play around with country a lot if I ever found a country singer I liked, but that's far from happening. I've also tried fingerpicking but I've never been as good at it as anything else I've tried. I have massive respect for guitarists who fingerpick well.
