Teenage Riot! If you teach us this song, the internet will lift you onto its shoulders and march down the street, praising your name for ages, I promise! Awesome video by the way. Now I want a sister Jazzmaster for my Jaguar.

Been playin’ a Jazzmaster for over 50 years, yeah I’m that old, and yes I do play jazz on my Jazzmaster😊

No one wanted Jazzmasters or Jaguars in the '70s, so used ones from the '60s were cheap. That's why the alternative musicians wound up with them - they were the cheapest decent guitars you could find.

Sonic Youth! You are the first you tube guitar instructor I've found that actually has excellent taste in music! Keep up the great work. Cheers from Louisiana 🤘🎸 P.S. I really enjoyed the "Atmospheric Noodling"! Very nice.

Great video as always Adrian! Please, please do a Teen Age Riot lesson

I had to just pause after Seventeen Seconds... RS is the sole reason I hanker for a Jazzmaster. So glad to see you tribute him and from one of their best albums.

Great video! Would love to see a "Start Chopping" tutorial too. :) I currently own a Squier J. Mascis Jazzmaster, and that guitar is incredible, especially for the price. 10 years ago I owned one of the cheaper Mexican Fender Jazzmasters available on the market then (still more expensive than the Squier Mascis), and I much prefer the Mascis -- both sounds and feels a lot better, and it comes with a Mustang style bridge installed so none of the typical bridge problems. I would recommend that guitar wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to get into the world of offset guitars.

Great video, and lovely guitar! I really like using my rhythm circuit with a germanium fuzz: set the top circuit for a volume cut to clean the fuzz up, then switch to the full circuit to melt faces.

Legendary guitarist Hank Garland used the jazzmaster on the Elvis Presley recording ‘little sister. The recording session was 1961 and Hank was not happy with the sound he was getting out of his Gibson For this particular recording. Hank ended up borrowing the jazz master from someone in the studio and recorded this multi million selling hit single👌

That is a beautiful guitar, and that was a nice little trip through some music history. 👍🏻

this might be your coolest axe. gorgeous tone on the dino jr. riff

I just bought a custom shop jazzmaster based on your playing one and couldn’t be happier. It plays better than any other guitar I own. As usual my ability to buy guitars exceeds my skills.

I love this lesson, I've been a drummer for 30 years....but a newbie to guitar. Please do more lessons with this type of info about the gear. This is so awesome and so are you. xo

I’m sold on this guitar thanks to this video three years late.

Adrian. I fell in love with the Jazzmaster after I learned Johnn yB good from your video last year and saw yours. My wife just bought me a Fender Jazz Prof II and I can't put it down. Surf Green. Coincidently, I picked up a used VOX amp last month and then noticed you have one too. This is the first higher end guitar I've ever owned. My first and only guitar was from when I was 14 in 1978. An El Degas Strat. It still hangs on my wall. I picked up a Squire Mustang last year when I renewed my passion for guitar after a 40 year hiatus. Working my way through all of your videos since I love many of the bands you do too. Recently I share my time between your channel and learning surf songs from the classic surf bands. You are a great teacher as many of your subscribers seem to also agree. Rock on!

The dislikes are from people who couldn't find Atmospheric Noodling by Adrian on Spotify or iTunes.

Always an outstanding job Adrian. I love using the rhythm circuit wit a fuzz face, nice dark sound.

Adrian is just simple the BEST guitar instructor on all of youtube. I'm a Patron, and I want to suggest that if you like his videos and get as much out of them as I do then you should consider being one too, even if it's just 5 or 10 dollars a month (I do 25, which is about half of what one lesson would cost).

Thanks so much for this video, Adrian. It convinced me to get one!

Nice video. Thanks for posting. The Jazzmaster looks and sounds great.

that jazz noodling was so nice, love to learn that

I’ve had a MIJ Jazzmaster since 1995 and it’s still my favorite of all time. I have an early Mastery bridge, and it made an unbelievable difference in playability. The standard saddles were a nightmare.

You inspired me to buy a Jazzmaster a few weeks ago. I'd never played one before, but I'm quite enjoying it. I actually like the rhythm switch as a fake tremolo sound by clicking in on and off on a chord.

Nice to see somebody demoing a Jazzmaster. I’ve got a Japanese one, not as nice as yours, no binding one the neck and the pickups are not so authentic sounding but still a very playable guitar, (and it does have a painted headstock that matches the surf green body which looks cool). I’ve not had any problems with the bridge but I did put clear nail varnish on all the screw threads after setting it up.

Great Verlaine wiggle trem at 16:38! I read once that Tom always uses his bridge pickup, but picks directly over the neck pickup. I love my Jazzmaster, too!

Great vid! 👍 Teenage riot, superb. I really would like a Jazz master now.

Your Teenage Riot sounds amaaaaaaazing! I'll add another request for that song here. Prob won't get you as many views as many other songs, but your willingness to choose songs that are harder less popular is what's great about your channel! And doing that lesson will def bolster your alt rock, esoteric street cred! Either way, thanks for your great work.

how cool that Chris Stapleton plays a JM too. not a Tele🎶🎸🎤🤠 it's awesome watching play live with that Jazzmaster laying down those killer country licks.

Adrian, thank you for being such an inspiration and for teaching the songs that most other guitar channels don't care about. My new American Original Jazzmaster arrives in two days, and I cannot wait.

jazzy love the atmospheric loop near end

Wow what a fantastic video. Nice work

Strong video on the Jazzmaster. Well done. The ‘rhythm switch’ is indeed going through a differently voiced circuit. It is darker. I like to use the rhythm circuit with an Ebow. I can preset the volume down quite a bit as Ebows imbue a lot of energy into the strings. A Jazzmaster vibrato and the lock do take some extra work to get setup correctly but once done, the setup is solid. The vibtaro is quite different to a Strat and both have their places.

Amazing job on Teenage Riot. Now there’s a great future lesson.

Beautiful guitar. Love jazzmasters and jaguars.

For anyone struggling with the Jazzmaster and Jaguar bridges: i would recommend to watch the Puisheen channel. Your sinking bridge could probably be fixed with loctite in the screws. He also recommends to put a sim on the neck and use at least 11 strings on it. I like your channel, it's always nice to watch and listen your stuff. Even more when you play offset guitars. ;) Cheers!

I love the sound!

Got me on Teenage Riot. Keep up with the good work. I'm working hard to buy a Fender Jazzmaster like yours.

I just bought the exact same guitar. I got a rare deal on a used one. It is a fine piece of machinery. I have roundwound 11’s on it and I don’t want to change a thing, not even the bridge.

Carl Wilson of the Beach boys played an Olympic white Jaguar with matching headstock. Instrumental and Surf bands initially used the jazzmaster but quite a few passed on to the jaguar which was especially made for that genre.

Really like the Atmospheric Noodling you did!

I dig it, they are very comfortable. The new player series with hum buckers has a great sound.

Really enjoyed your original composition at the halfway mark.

Your jazz playing is awesome too!

Great vid an review ! I have more than a dozen of JMs. On half of them, I modded the rhythm circuit so that it will interact with both pickups (also replaced the 50k mini pot by 1Meg). Result is like a dual channel but not on an amp but on the guitar :)

Enjoyed the video. Nice Jazzmaster, sounds really good!

Always enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them Adrian. A timely one for me as I'm already about to buy one. I'm surprised you omitted any comment on the unique whammy unit this guitar uses. Different design to the Stratocaster this one is much more controllable and easier to get smooth and precise tremolo playing. Also it has a locking switch on the unit to lock the string tension should you break a string during a performance.

If I could give this multiple thumbs up I would! Your right, great clean sound. Oh, and extra points for the J Mascis tune.....

The first thing that planted the seed of my desire for the Jazzmaster was seeing The Cure “Play For Today” video in 1982. I think the Jazzmaster is absolutely gorgeous, and sounds beautiful clean, particularly with both pickups active. For buyers wanting to get their feet wet without jumping all the way in, the Squier Classic Vibe version is a real bargain. The next step up is the Fender Vintera version, which, I believe, is the only one with matching headstock…

Hey man you are easily my favorite instructor on KZfaq! I look forward to your lessons every week. Any chance we could get a Teenage Riot lesson in the near future? Or perhaps an entire lesson that focuses on Sonic Youth? Easily one of the most underrated guitar bands of all time.

Elevation has to be my favourite Television song. Great choice and (another!) lovely vid!

The first person I saw using a Jazzmaster who wasn't some surf player from the 60's was Tom Verlaine in Television.....and he's still the best Jazzmaster player in my opinion. One of the guitarists in the close harmony pop group "the Association" used one back in the 60's and I'm pretty sure I've seen Jazz virtuoso, Joe Pass using one, although that was a brief dalliance. There is a very film of early Hendrix using one when he was in a backing band .....upside down naturally!

Cool, I believe Catfish Collins used a jazzmaster on those classic James Brown funk tracks

Wow. Teenage riot, seventeen seconds, start choppin'.. 3 of my favourite songs

Atmospheric Noodling is stuck in my head ! I plugged my guitar in 4 hours ago and I'm still playing it .. With slight finger adjustments - your middle finger is a different size. I've come across and downloaded some pretty niffty chorus effects by looking in toneprints on my tc electronics flashback, sounds great. You must put that Noodle into a song !

Teenage Riot!! Holy shit man, that was the balls!

Great guitar Adrian! I always think about getting one, last year I got a Pacifica 912J from the 90's, it's very good. Until another chance, greetings!

Congratulations on the Ernie Ball endorsement!!! I think you deserve much more than just a string sponsor...I absolutely love your playing, most of your tastes seem to run very close to mine right from the punk and post punk to the jazz. Look forward to more videos.

The noodling at around 8 minutes is pretty good :)

It would be nice to see a Elvis Costello lesson. As well as a Sonic Youth one

“Like” clicked as soon as you started playing Teenage Riot! Enjoyed your “atmospheric noodling” also! Since you mentioned Television - how about “Call Mr Lee” for a future lesson?

That sounds lovely, I thought my Gretsch Streamliner sounded good but love the 'jangly' sound!!

Haha it looks HUGE in your hands... And it sounds even bigger when you play it! Also, yay, Watching the Detectives! :-D

Nice guitar!. It sounds great.

Another great video mate. I would love to havethe tab for that jazz piece.. Beautiful

I'm lucky enough to own a vintage 1966 Jazzy and it's got the best feeling neck of any of my guitars. I think it's true that the fretboards from that era varied considerably in radius. Mine is very close to a modern 9" radius but feels even a little flatter than that when I'm playing. Not sure why - maybe the binding has something to do with that. I'm surprised that Fender offered neck binding so rarely. It really sets the neck off and makes it so smooth to play. My only issue has been with the location of the PU selector switch. I hit it a lot and may eventually damage it. I'm considering a replacement so I can archive the original and include it with the guitar if I ever had to sell it.

Another great video! If it's not a trouble could you do a lesson on the sound of music by joy division.

supreme playing !

Indie schmindie

Thruston Moore is classic for a Jazzmaster - but the tunings are really a bummer - excellent video!

Indy schmindy and jazzy noodling should be added to the Oxford dictionary , bravo Sir , immense as ever

Please do a tutorial on Teen Age Riot and Seventeen Seconds. Seventeen Seconds would be a great beginner songs to learn. As always, great content!

So cool Adrien ❤

Love it

"Clean sound" means guitar and amp without anything but the cable in between. You don´t get to hear this guitar´s own unique, delicious voice through a chorus pedal. By the way, the statement about the Jazzmaster having been originally intended to be used with 011 gauge flatwounds (or heavier) is true. That´s what I do, no bridge problems at all.

Loved my Jazzy, but I just couldn't get used to the neck, was to thin for my liking. And yes, set up is key for the Jazzy. Although I could never get mine to sound as good as yours Adrian..Cheers.

I think this guitar passed through a lot of different music styles all over these years since the early 60's with jazz and blues my favourites... and then fell into the alternative rock, pop and indie sound which it's not so warm and rich in terms of technical rhythm and solos but rather more artistic and innovative with pedal effects... There's a few minority in these days using this guitar I've lost my crush on it after my teenage and got a telecaster for blues and vintage rock style

Thanks, I found this very explanatory. I would like a bit more of the Dinosaur jr bits explained, though. I wonder if I should do a video tour of my Ibanez factory second...? Nah.

Am going to see 30th Anniversary Daydream Nation docs at Portland’s Hollywood Theater tomorrow and hopefully meet Steve Shelley, who will be there.

...great looking guitar mate !...I'd love to have one .....also cool riffs "

Can u do more sonic youth tutorials

Great video Adrian,I’m after a US or Japanese guitar for Rockabilly and surf guitar. I would really like a 6120 but you have made me consider a Jazzmaster as it’s so much cheaper.Any advice would be appreciated.Your lessons are some of the best on Facebook.

The Jazzmaster reminds me of a 1957 Chevrolet Belaire Coupe . A classic among classics.

Atmospheric noodling, such an underrated record.

Hey Adrian Would love to see a Teenaged riot lesson love your channel cheers!

I always wanted a Jag because MBV had them, but now I prefer the JM, but being left handed they were so rare and expensive! When are you doing a lesson of some Fall tunes?

Nice video. Noel Gallagher recently brought to my attention that aged Nash Jazzmasters are the coolest looking guitars ever. Those guitars just look right for him. Also Taylor Swift makes good sounds with a jaguar at the Grammy museum performance. To me, offset guitars seem like the 'Singer-songwriter' instrument. I am not sure why. Now, I had noticed offset guitars before these, from either Elvis Costello or Johnny Marr, but there's something about the aged non-shiny jazzmaster and jags that look better.

Just recently found your vids and I love em. Been seeing a lot of your older ones and I’ve went to your channel and I watch newer ones too. But have ya done music from Television? Or maybe some classic talkin heads?

More Cure please Adrian.

Adrian - great stuff as usual. Question: I'm looking to get my first Jazzmaster and am wondering what you think of the new American Performer Series with the strat trem?

It'd be a good idea to strip that rhythm circuit altogether and put something different in it's place that would actually be useful. Something like an out of phase thing or a series/parallel circuit, or a boost, or a different tone, similar to what I've got on my La Cabronita, if I push/pull the volume pot it has a cocked wah tone. Anyway, I digress but you know what I mean 😆

How’ve I just found this channel? Subscribed

Think I’m more a Tele guy, but I have to say I found that really interesting!

Marty Wilson-Piper from The Church uses one as his main guitar (he is brilliant). Please do a lesson by The Church! Unguarded Moment maybe??

Got to see Will Sergeant rock two Jazzmasters last Sat night in Portland OR. Some Echo lessons pretty plz??? 🐰

You make me want a Jazzmaster. I fancied a Jaguar since Johnny Marr started playing them, but the short scale put me off as I’m tall... I really like the look of the Squier J Mascis edition - even though I’m not a massive Dinosaur Jr fan - it’s a nice looking guitar with some really good reviews.

Great !! Nice guitar ! Please, teach this song, Jazzy Noodling :D

I can second your endorsement of the StayTrem Bridge. It made a world of difference to my Squier Vintage Modified JM. Not a cheap upgrade at $100, but was worth it to say goodbye to the original CRAP bridge. Also worth it considering StayTrem isn't sold to the US anymore for some reason.

I want to learn that Sonic Youth riff!

Are you using the stock pickups? I just bought a set of the 65 reissue pickups. Just curious. Great content!

great video thanks. what do you think of the 66 reissue , how is that different than a 65 ?
