Classical guitar for jazz? Gibson es-175 vs Cordoba GK Pro

[@tolstoipie]

Six years late, but I'm glad I found this. Thanks for sharing. Nice performance.

[@raymar091]

Cordova by far. There's a mystic on Spanish guitars. Thanks for Sharing

[@pragmatismusa5878]

Terrific playing and highlights how well-suited a classical is to jazz guitar

[@IanTOHare]

Excellent! I say the two guitars compliment each other well. As do the players!

[@yahuchanonyakov]

Nylon string guitars do wonderful playing jazz....

[@notme5145]

But why are there only so vew non gipsy jazz guitarists like this, who play the classical guitar? The only one I know is Charlie Byrd and even he is mostly a bossa nova guitarist. (nothing against gispsy, it's great)

[@christiaandejong]

there are more....

[@gideon3839]

@@notme5145 go check out Earl Klugh, he's one of the pioneer of jazz classical guitar

[@canaldepraticadejesus6600]

In my humble opinion, I believe that classical guitars are perfect for chords play (comping or chord solos) in jazz. But when it comes to Bebop solos, it's really difficult to speed up in comparison with the electric ones. I've tried it with my spanish handmade custom classical guitar.

I LOVE this presentation. You guys are playing so calmly and really letting your playing and the sounds of your instruments shine. Congrats!!! PS, I dig the nylon, but that's just me👽🎶✨

[@justinskidmore9677]

To me this vs. that is self-defeating and this is a great example. I couldn't say one or the other, instead both please!! Great playing and tone on both sides.....the more jazz the better :D

[@MrMjp58]

Beautiful playing. The 175 has an exquisite sound.

This is the first video I've ever seen with zero dislikes. this has encouraged me to get back into nylon.

[@motorbikeray]

As of 5/5/2022 there are three fools who gave the video a Dislike.

[@sonijam]

Sounds wonderful! Such a nice balance of tones.

[@kbkesq]

Have this same cordoba and it’s made me want to play jazz on it. So easy and I’ve played both classical and jazz for 40yrs.

[@BradleyThomasbassman]

Great performance guys! Enjoyed it!

[@lehrgangswerk]

I love it. Very relaxed.

[@lee_akatsuki]

wow.. both are really good and they complement each other.. both are different character but really sweet when combined.. great playing also!!

[@stevec.1802]

Loving your arrangement and chord substitutions. Both guitars compliment each other. Bravo..

[@guidoventurini3678]

Very nice sound for Cordoba . What type of string do you use ?

[@c_farther5208]

Saving for a the Cordoba, sounds great. Your playing is sensational.

[@rafael93757]

Very nice and so smooth, congratulation!!!

[@JoshuaPatrickGarrett]

I already knew before this started that the Cordoba would nail it. I have an LE-Koa from '08, and I'm thinking of getting the GK for the lower action and brightness.

[@rhodesberlin]

So beautiful

[@jamesmcneil800]

What kind of strings are you using on your Cordoba?

[@bohemian46]

Excellent playing , however the 175 is overpowering the nylon to the point of distraction.

[@BRUHHHHHHH]

is it?

[@adolfohuet3974]

the yellow sock is distracting

[@rauze4393]

Very nice playing ...

[@jazzydog]

Awesome!!. Just sub your channel.

[@jamesmcneil800]

I like both sounds, but since I own three classical guitars, WELL...

[@guillermopellerano9106]

classical guitar is great to play solo guitar arrangements

[@maxtunes5843]

Both win.

[@dromeus21]

a cedar/rosewood guitar, instead of this spruce/maple would be more suitable with the mellower and richer jazz sound

[@paulgerards6494]

I dig the steel much more! Clearer and more presence!

[@christiaandejong]

I would prefer the two nylon....

[@murattaner7384]

Es 175 especially with flatwounds always sounds muddy when chords are played, and as you can hear here is also irritatingly immature when it comes to treble notes. A grosly overrated guitar, as is most Gibson jazz boxes- imho :))))

[@canaldepraticadejesus6600]

That yellow sock gets too much attention
