Best Songs Played on a Telecaster

I've heard a few times and read somewhere that stairway to heaven was played on a telecaster. Whether that is true or not I don't know. Most of The album In Uterine by Nirvana was recorded on a fender telecaster with a jb in the bridge. Kurt Cobain used a telecaster a lot in the studio and at home. A lot of people use them in the studio

I would second the "Dragon". Here's a great article on the full history of it, and the Stairway to Heaven recording.

Runner up for me would be Keef's. He gets bonus points because he also knows how to use it as a weapon.

Also, check out this article.

there's this song I like to play in the key of D on my Tele and it goes something like "this postshould be in the guitar forum, oh yes it should..."

for rock? Led Zeppelin 1, the whole album, for rock on a tele cannot be beat.... supposedly all tele, wah wah, fuzz pedal and a 1x12 supro combo (maybe a 1624 dual tone)... if I have to pick 1 song fron LZ1 its "good time bad times" - I'm not a big Zep or Pag fan, but those opening chords are a grabber and are also some of the fattest Tele tones ever aid on tape. And yes, the SOLO to stairway was played on that tele thru one of those weird Supro student amps thata re like tweed champs with a 6x9" oval speaker... that tele once belonged to the Yardbirds and had also been played by Clapton and Beck.... but all of LZ1's 6 strng electric parts are supposed to be that guitar and a 1x12 supro combo (though some people swear it was 1x15 thunderbolt, honestly all the supros sound very similar, I have owned some).

for country/roots? Elvis Presley's cover of "Polk Salad Annie" with james Burton on tele... and pretty much anything Burton ever played on, he's a lord of the chickin' pick... I am loathe to admit it, but I am quite partial to this tune's dueling country teles...

I am missing the pinecaster I kept in 5 string open G before Lucian was born just looking at his evil grin there!

maybe I'll build another old style tele with a brass, 5 saddle bridge....

I really like Nicholaus Arson's work on his "Arsonette" and other Telecasters he used. Particularly Hives' "Hate To Say I Told You So" and "Tick Tick Boom". Also, there is Jack White's new work, which is pretty good on a relatively cheap Telecaster. "Freedom at 21", "Sixteen Saltines"...

But, "Stairway to Heaven" is, hands down, the best song played on Telecaster. "Stairway" also holds the title for "Best song played on a Fender Electric XII". xD
