The Fender American Startocaster Grey with 10-position switch (Bula installation) of the illustrative photo for Amazing Songs & Other Delights #21 The They Play a Strat, So Does Carlos edition belongs to Carlos Fortes (Mão Morta/Um Zero Amarelo – it was previously owned by António Manuel Ribeiro (UHF)). The show airs tomorrow (Monday 28th) on Yé Yé Radio: https://yeyeradio.com/ or on the app from about 2:40pm to 4pm (gmt). Carlos and I selected 18 songs played/written with a Strartocaster or predominantly played/written with one, including two of his – Ventos Animais and Anjos Marotos by Mão Morta – Carlos picked the first, I the second. The Stratocaster was given its name in 1953 by Don Randall, Fender’s sales chief. The Fender Stratocaster, introduced in 1954, has several differences and innovations from the Telecaster. The two-horned shape was adapted from the Precision Bass by Freddy Tavares, it has three pickups, rounded edges and body contour to make it more comfortable and came in a vibrato and a non-vibrato model. It was also the first time that Fender used a sunburst finish. Back to the songs. There is a joint choice, The Shadow’s Apache with Hank Marvin on the Strat, songs in which the guitarist isn’t usually associated with a Strat – Bernard Butler, Noel Gallagher here with a Nash Strat (like with Telecasters no all Stratocasters are Fender) – and a number of songs with more or less proper Strat men and women. As with its twin Telecaster show of a fortnight ago the songs go through different eras and styles from Deep Purple’s Smoke On The Water with its trademark riff from the hand of Ritchie Blackmore to Bonnie Raitt covering Talking Heads’ Burning Down The House. We pretty much broke all the rules, if existing. Along with Carlos’ two songs there are two Bob Dylan songs, one with him as the Strat man another with Mark Knofler as such. Jimi Hendrix and George Harrison appear both on this and the Telecaster edition. And so on. 🙂

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #20 The They Play a Telecaster, So Does Carlos edition by Carlos Fortes & Raquel Pinheiro @ mixcloud

The beautiful Telecaster that illustrates this show belongs to Carlos Fortes (Mão Morta/um zero amarelo). Carlos and I picked 25 songs played/written with a Telecaster or predominantly played/written with one, including two of his – Sem Perdão by Um Zero Amarelo chosen by him and Budapeste by Mão Morta chosen by me. Our 25 songs include Prince’s iconic Hohner Madcat Telecaster, Carlos’ own Fender Telecaster with custom build Bula pickup and 5-position switch installation, also from the hands of Bula – a friend of Carlos who custom builds pickups. Telecasters with B-Benders are also represented. We included a variety of players and eras to showcase the History and versatility of the Telecaster and created over one and an half hour of songs with a Telecaster and those who play it. See tracklist for more info on players and guitars.
