Chicken pickin' happens mostly in the fingers and pick. Everything after that, from EQ to effects, is 'gravy'.

Since you are using a Tele set it to the bridge pickup and send it through a Fender amp (real or virtual) for the best sonic character. Work on 'choking' the pick (grasping it very close to the working end so that the string strikes both the pick and the fingers). A little practice yields great results. Then work on those licks!

Good luck,
