love that you're using a floyd rose Jackson for this. Breaking down all the silly stereotypes. It's all in the fingers and ears!

[@KingGrio]

Jackson with locking nut, floyd rose, 24 frets, I'm waiting for this guy to start shredding some heavy metal the whole time, thinking it's a very elaborate troll. But nope, that dude is a genuine jazz player.

[@Alex-ox7fm]

i love that he plays the most fuckin metal guitar ever just to emphasize that if you can play, you can play.

[@rjmari]

@@Alex-ox7fm Reminds me of that video of the guys playing Stevie Ray Vaughan on those cheapo Walmart kid's acoustic guitars.

[@TheRokstar13]

Playing jazz on a Jackson is crazzyyyyy lmao, but it sounds great… go figure

[@aural_supremacy]

It’s not the guitar but the style that makes it Jazz, Semi Acoustic guitars are a throwback to the pre amplified period personally I prefer semi acoustic sounds but the Telecaster is quite popular using Flat-wound strings makes the most difference I have found.

[@VikCain]

Aand it looks sick!

[@normandy2501]

​@aural_supremacy it could also be the pickups and even which side of the pick (in your hand) that you use. My old teacher used a schecter because he also liked metal, but he studied jazz in university.

[@zaxmaxlax]

That made me click on the video 😂

[@creepingequinox7359]

I love Mike Moreno I'm so glad he got mentioned

[@WhatAreDrums729]

Chops! Not just the shredding, but the touch to pivot back to that deep pocket on a dime! I never knew how much I didn't know.

[@CalebJeromeMorales]

Wow, what a well executed lesson. It has been about 12 years since I've read new music, and only on piano. I've never read music while playing guitar (other than tabs), but with this lesson, I can clearly understand. Your clear, calm cadence and easy-to-follow notation on screen has alleviated a level of trepidation I had about stepping into jazz guitar. I'm excited to learn more from you. You well deserve a subscription. Cheers to you!

[@Lomoholga2]

I play fingerstyle jazz ona Charvel DK24 because the neck is effortless. Function over looks every damn time Great video

[@OleksiiTheAngry]

Thank you for the video! The sound is so warm and the phrases are so tasty ❤

[@MrMjp58]

Cecil can make any make or model of guitar into perfect jazz instruments. My new favourite jazzer.

[@pearsights]

That Grant Green line 😮‍💨 You’re a killer player and a great teacher, keep it up!

[@newaysonly]

Great,great Cecil! Tomo is proud,imho. other application of 2:17's motif is A7/9-/5+

[@robertrobles4028]

Bro, I detected a Clifford Brown idea on All the things you are. I use that one as well!!🎸😅👍❤️

[@user-vd3nd4rr7n]

Aside from the great content you are sharing, I really dig your guitar choice for the video!

[@JeremiasNazario]

Explicação simples e com efeitos de grandes profundidades de se entender a linguagem do jazz , em expressão do bebop. O efeito didático dessa explicação é muito eficiente e estruturantes!! Muito bom!!!

[@YouTubeaccount48473]

I have to disagree with the people who like this guitar tone for jazz. Sounds thin all the time and harsh on the chords. That said, this is a pretty awesome video anyway 👍

[@iamJROD]

Charlie Parker was a big fan of jazz guitarist Johnny Smith during the 1940's Birdland bebop era.

[@Classroom-dm7lu]

i love it thank you

[@SamuelPinho1]

Amazing! Love the fact you're playing it in a Jackson

[@lancecarrmusic]

Thanks for the great lesson Cecil!

[@matheusduartegt]

This is just awesome!!

[@BartCub]

It's amazing how you can get a convincing jazz sound out of any guitar, even the most unlikely, it seems! The sound is 99% in your hands, I'm guessing, but I have to ask the standard questions anyway: Are you using flat wound strings? What kind of picks? Mic'ing an app or going direct with an amp sim? Any random advice for those of us without standard jazz guitars to get a tone like yours for recording?

[@wolfgangh.4408]

Amazing video!!

[@Ikaros4-10]

Awesome. Thanks !

[@Bob-wr4ep]

Amazing video. Love the visuals of the music notation.

[@jerryk3280]

That Jackson looks like a real rock n roll machine!

[@andiwonorahardja2120]

No stereotype guitar anymore i think 😂

[@whatissurge]

Amazing work

[@insightguitars]

that was wonderful!

[@vspaulding1]

Thanks Cecil, You sound Great on any Guitar:)

[@gitarmats]

Really cool stuff!

[@Crussman499]

I'd love a rundown of the Shawn Lane style.

[@Panufo]

Missing truss rod cover. You're my kinda guy.

[@TheBrettSiler]

I’m adding to the pro playing jazz on a Jackson guitar. They honestly make incredible playing and sounding guitars. I have a few and I love them. Great video!

[@marquisdecarabas1312]

First time i see someone playin Jazz on a Floyd Rose guitar 😂 Great playin and interesting content 👍

[@trevor807]

Is there a quick way to figure out what different chords work for a particular lick as is, like some Roman numeral thing. Or is it really just look at the notes and figure out other chords that use those chord tones?

[@skullzmonterrey]

Kept waiting for him to play "Raining Blood"

[@jimtessin4130]

Excellent

[@saruchpunnachet197]

Love it

[@80srocker65]

Totally cool

[@thejamaican67]

Why no love for Oscar Moore?

[@spacetimedesign]

Which model of Seymour Duncan humbucker is mounted on the neck?

[@nickcirillo6191]

😎

[@JamesSeaberry]

It looks nice, but $175.00?????

[@JamesSeaberry]

@@jazzlessonvideos OK, fair enough.

[@FJness]

jazz on a jackson?!

[@TaxEvader420]

What's with the metal ass Jackson tho lmao

[@vetlesrnes5646]

Dude, you are going nowhere with your lines. No firm melodic context was ever established, of which should develops until it reaches a climax and all that. You were doing random chromatic enclosures that didn^t make sense all the time, seemingly to give yourself time to think of where to go next. The whole video was static, except for a few moments here and there. Shift your focus on the fretboard knowledge, and just play some damn melodies with chord tones, and establish some actual motifs! Just sayin`

[@burtmantooth8913]

First American comment. 🇺🇸

[@stratcat9432]

And yet, you commented Absolutely nothing. Murica' F' Yeah! 😂

[@Classroom-dm7lu]
