Thanks for this awesome lesson. You really break it down so it's easy to follow

Very well explained!

Is there cool video how to get a nice Stax guitar tone? For example I love how the guitar sounds like on "These arms of mine". Or the guitar on Try a little tenderness, also awesome

is this right into the Amp or with effecs?

I’m a little bit confused about the part 3. I understand everything you say, but does it mean that if I’m in the key of A minor, and I want to play the triads of the G major scale, I need to remember all the notes of the G major scale, then be able to map all the triads of every chords of this scale in every positions ? And then create licks with them ? While I’m playing ? Or do I need to build vocabulary and remember the shapes ? I don’t know how to start 😢 Thank you !

I play math rock/midwest emo on my jazzmaster

Great playing! If this is your personal guitar, I’d love to hear it two years later to hear how it ages

TO THE TRAINED EAR ITS OBVIOUS TO THE DRUNKEN EAR ITS IRRELEVANT

Hi Stuart, I've been with Brian at Active Melody for 6 years and I was doing ep 325 and I saw your video after. I love this kinda music and even the falsetto Gospel singing like Al Green. So you must be new to you tube or I just never noticed your site. Let's play.

I think what this video illustrates the most is that you can still play to the strengths of the instrument tonally while being able to play whatever style your heart desires. You’re only limited by your own creativity. An instrument’s “versatility” is in your hands, not the number of pickups, switches or knobs.

Thank you

Well done mate...👏👏👏👍💪🤙

great playing

magnificent😎

14:27 love this and mine does the same sound with much simpler playing. It really encourages finger picking. Oh, through a Fender Chorus and Champ.

I just ordered a “Mascis” yesterday… not the same pickups, nowhere near the same price, but what a stellar demo! Cheers!

The best comparison by far, thanks much!

Is it good for Black Metal ?

An excellent lesson, thank you!

Thank you mr.Ryan!

Missing a few parts! Lord Gordon's has 5 parts.

Great playing! Sounds like you have an octave on the bass string in the beginning.

Surfy Bear.

I am thoroughly convinced of one sure thing: you are an amazing guitarist! Damn! And that Jazzmaster looks incredible 🎉❤🎉

Amazing video, i am just about to buy my first 12 string

Great video, man! Thanks so much. In terms of gear, thick strings and picks are recommended when you wanna go surfing.

Jimi Hendrix used to play one with Little Richards band in 1965 no idea why he switched to the Strat ? He literally downgraded lol as a Jazzmaster is a premium guitar , the Stratocaster is a workhorse guitar , only reason i can think of is the cutaway on the Strat is more pronounced so easier for Hendrix though saying that ive even seen a photo of Jimi playing a Gibson Les Paul upside down and no idea how he even played solos on that.

You are a fine player! Good demo

The instrument sounds great in your hands. But for me, it does not possess the sounds I associate with Country or with Classic Rock music.

Great lesson, clearly explained ❤

Best guitar review I've ever seen. Great playing, great songs, well recorded, proper playing:talking ratio.

Nice!

Excellent interesting and informative video.

I like this, but look at how your fingering changes between the quick version and the slow (particularly on the first 2 chords).

Excellent!! Can't wait to get home and try this.

❤Thank you Ryan you’re playing and teaching is first class as ever.

Are the pots the same values? The new one sounds brighter and more jangly like it is running one meg pots or perhaps 500K. The older model sounds duller like it is running 250K pots.

Fantastic fingerstyle lesson! Brilliant. Thank you!

Great playing. Love your guitar. I have a 55 Esquire that is in a lot rougher shape than yours, but she is still a beauty to me!

Thank you, Stuart!

Hi Stuart. You were a tutor at my college back in 2003. I remember you playing the main riff from daytripper with the vocal melody on top of it. Any chance you could do a video on how to play it?

What a beautiful musical piece! How far roughly are the microphones away from the guitar Stuart?

Been interested in a Jazzmaster for sometime so thanks for doing this video Got to say this is one of, if not the best, guitar demo vids I've ever seen.

The only thing I don't like is that I play with correct placement- guitar resting on left leg. 99.9% of guitar players get it wrong and play on the wrong leg, the right. This is ergonomically incorrect as you're not paying over your center of gravity. Leo designed this guitar to be ergonimcally "correct" for ergonomically incorrect positioning. Just doesn't work on the left leg. Only if you're doing it wrong to start with.

Stuartryan, what can you use the rhythm channel for any examples? Its so muddy and dark I'm not sure which rock bands or surf songs used the rhythm channel on the jazzmaster

I just finished recording my cover of Over the Hills and Far Away. I love 12-strings!

The original composition seemed more at home on this guitar. That was a great demonstration though. I’m intrigued with crisp, low end. Thank you.
