Jay was interviewed once about his long guitar solos and how intricate they tend to be and how focused he looks. He replied with, "I don't know about that. There's been lots of times I'm performing a solo and wondering what I'm going to have for dinner that night". Needles to say, he's my favorite guitarist.
9 years ago? I’m still here I just graduated law school first heard J. I’m recovered now 26 years of sheister shit? I’ve had my fill I don’t write court briefs any fucking more. Now I write songs
I get that he's a great songwriter who can write poignant, heartfelt lyrics. But the thing I like most about him are his guitar solos. They take you on a journey, man.
He started out on hard to play rough instruments. And his fingers are tough as nails. He clearly digs in deep and plays with heavy emotion. This mixed with his super guitar talent and I don't like to bring this up, but his struggles with depression and pain... You add it all up and you get one hell of a musician that no one can come close to replicating. He's him and the only one of him that's for sure! Rare when you have a dude like this. Great singing voice, great playing, great writing. Consistant af and been doing it that way for like 40 years. That's not nothing! That's legend! Most musicians are one hit wonders or never was's.
Agreed. Rare does a musician last this long. Usually their first album is their best and then they have trouble or sell out or start suckin lols. Not J though. Consistent af when it comes to blowing us away. It's been like 40 friggin years and he still kills it every time. And what's hilarious is he literally looks like the last person on earth that you would think is a guitar god but he is!
Only J and his fans will understand that its completely acceptable to throw a fuzz pedal on an acoustic guitar in the middle of an otherwise acoustic song.
Really? Like, do they have a street named after him and all that? Had a key to the city given to him? Seriously, I don't know but it'd be cool if it was true!
Haha I think you're talking about his rig rundown. He always keeps an overdrive on his "clean" sound so it doesn't sound plain. And hes right I've been using an overdrive to boost my clean sound and I can hear it better when the drums are going and it has more tone that gives your clean sound a punch but "clean"
yup thats the one...he probably has a few rig rundowns though. If I ever got to hang out with him all of my questions would be about pedals seeing as I build my own from scratch.
I don't see you I won't call you I don't know enough to stall you Is it me Or is it all you Guess it's on and on On a day maybe i'd show you But it's the least of all i go through But the thing is i don't know you And it's on and on Trembling words don't make my eyes close And if anyone then you'd know I can't find out 'cause you won't show And it's on and on Every dream is shot by daylight And i pray maybe that you're right But if you don't, maybe i might 'Cause it's on and on You're not gonna get me through this, are you You're not gonna get me through this, are you Anytime i'm there to show you If it takes too long i know You're out the door just leavin' me screwed And it's on and on Every dream is shot by daylight And i pray maybe that you're right But if you don't, maybe i might 'Cause it's on and on You're not gonna get me through this, are you You're not gonna get me through this, are you
Awww yeah this one takes me back .... and to hear that nice fuzz on the acoustic was like whoa ..... thought this was gonna be a straight acoustic jam like his acoustic album and then baammmmm
Damn! I can't just love 8 songs off of Where You Been. There's gotta be more DJ that I can really be pumped over. The man can play like a motherfucker.
Yeah J actually wrote a lot of the riffs for Witch and according to J he'd love to make another Witch album. A Witch riff that never got on their records actually ended up on a Dinosaur Jr record. That being "I Walk For Miles" live productions a bit muted though it sounds better live

@Zack Rizzo not sure what you are talking about as I stated a quote he said. Not saying I was playing the solos.
no fucking shot hahaha where did he say that
@@naksu444it's from one of his interviews with Spin
J needs to be on a box of shredded wheeties cereal
The box would be purple
I love how J's idea of acoustic is at times heavier than electric.
Most times
9 years ago?
I’m still here
I just graduated law school first heard J.
I’m recovered now
26 years of sheister shit?
I’ve had my fill
I don’t write court briefs any fucking more.
Now I write songs
bucket list #3
go skateboarding with J Mascis
I was there and what a show! Couldn't believe standing there watching this with a handful of people.

@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342The way he bends makes it sound like a singer straining to hit the note.
@@fastenbulbous sounds like sex to me
This man needs to live forever.
💙🎼🙏

@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 the most real comment i’ve ever read haha
No one else like him.
haha did not expect that fuzz to kick in
Freaking spoilers man
@@bphcx freaking spoilers man
Made the whole fucking song though, huh?
I've only heard this song a million times.. but when he hits that solo I start full-on sobbing. All I can think is, please don't let his solo end.
J. Mascis forever.
There are guitar solos, and then there are J Mascis solos.
Well said, sir.
Not solos, Whoa-los
How effortless it makes it seem. Some people ha e to make a shred face and start sweating during solos j is like "ahhhhh finally the easy part" lol
up there with Neil and Nels Cline as far as rock guitar solos
And guitar isnt even his main instrument, atleast if you ask him
0:34 2:16 I love the way he uses an effects pedal with an acoustic guitar.
J man!!! Sweet... get me all day,
This is one of my favorite songs off this album. It really tugs at the heart.
Wow. I love J. I didn't know you could do that on an acoustic but, if anyone could, it'd be J.
This is the Best Song in the World in all of history and this is by far the best rendition of it!
Magic guitar man
This is the best video on UA-cam. I've watched it 1838372727474848 times over the years
That’s called greatness
Only J and his fans will understand that its completely acceptable to throw a fuzz pedal on an acoustic guitar in the middle of an otherwise acoustic song.
J Mascis is a God!!!!!
His voice is shy and powerful pain. ❤️J!!
A true poet..always in my heart
wow and he is all about the music , the pride of Amherst, Mass.
Really? Like, do they have a street named after him and all that? Had a key to the city given to him? Seriously, I don't know but it'd be cool if it was true!
I love the way the air the amp pushes makes his hair blow.
Thanks Tingly!
Shredding that acoustic better than a wood chipper
that solo was BOSS
God I love his style.
J is soooo cool! Kick that distortion on that acoustic guitar! Yeah! 😜👌❤️❤️
#acoustagrunge
Distortion? That sounds like he's stacking 3 fuzzes 😂 so damn good
J(esus) Mascis
He is the best musician I have ever seen live. If you can watch the footage from Coachella of Dinosaur Jr. Its amazing
love
I just, ugh, adore him.
0:36 does this remind anyone of the pedal video where he says "and this is my clean sound"?
Haha I think you're talking about his rig rundown. He always keeps an overdrive on his "clean" sound so it doesn't sound plain. And hes right I've been using an overdrive to boost my clean sound and I can hear it better when the drums are going and it has more tone that gives your clean sound a punch but "clean"
yup thats the one...he probably has a few rig rundowns though. If I ever got to hang out with him all of my questions would be about pedals seeing as I build my own from scratch.
Overdriven is still a clean tone if done right...
Man alive, I like this. A lot!
Amazing
I don't see you
I won't call you
I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me
Or is it all you
Guess it's on and on
On a day maybe i'd show you
But it's the least of all i go through
But the thing is i don't know you
And it's on and on
Trembling words don't make my eyes close
And if anyone then you'd know
I can't find out 'cause you won't show
And it's on and on
Every dream is shot by daylight
And i pray maybe that you're right
But if you don't, maybe i might
'Cause it's on and on
You're not gonna get me through this, are you
You're not gonna get me through this, are you
Anytime i'm there to show you
If it takes too long i know
You're out the door just leavin' me screwed
And it's on and on
Every dream is shot by daylight
And i pray maybe that you're right
But if you don't, maybe i might
'Cause it's on and on
You're not gonna get me through this, are you
You're not gonna get me through this, are you
Beautiful
I love this man
Thank's J.
So perfect
He is soo good...
Awww yeah this one takes me back .... and to hear that nice fuzz on the acoustic was like whoa ..... thought this was gonna be a straight acoustic jam like his acoustic album and then baammmmm
Truly, FANTASTIC!
He's right up the Alley. Nice song my fellow song dude.
A wonderful artist...wonderful.
finally a good amoeba video
perfection
Woahh
That was amazing. Thanks and peace.
I was there!!! Thank you
Nice trick, J. -- I almost added this performance to my "solo acoustic" album!
Yeah...Fantastic...
what a cool guy
There's something so awesome and funny about shredding on an acoustic guitar.
This is Damn Fucking Cool....
Amazing.
how is he doing ? Where's the trick ? 💓🔥 Ultimate love ✌️
Great
Fourteen years wow
I was there! :D
This acoustic guitar goes up to 11.
Underrated comment
Hi uh can i figure out how to play this pls??!!! Damn that gibson sounds awesome. I have a j-160 that i could maybe try to replicate the sound he has
anyone know the model of this Gibson Acoustic ?
Gibson CF 100
@@wafflejunk awesome thanks i have been trying to figure this out forever, Peace !
Dude plays about as good as one can get but does it while looking like he's never trying lol.
Your not gonna get me thru this are you..........
Anyone have the whole show available? It's seemingly not on the Amoeba page anymore...
Anybody watch the full show on the Amoeba site? What is that last song he plays?
someone please tell me what kind of pickup that is
Jack blank They're soundhole pickups, the one's that J is using are made by Sunrise.
He played through this much faster than the studio version
J Edgar mascis
Such a J Mascis thing to do lol.
J IS THE SHIT
dang what is the effect he is using with acoustic? sounds incredible
I think it is a fuzzbox, probably big muff
Big muff
@@joshingtonbarthsworth631Also his acoustic is usually a Martin or Gibson and his perfered amp for acoustic is an Orange amp
distortion level 1000 :D but nice song !
1:54
Where did the whole show go?
Yeah I'm wondering the same. It's a bummer. This whole concert is awesome
the battle between peanut butter and jelly continues to rage
J mascis is similar to Yoshihiro Togashi of manga artist.
big muff pi?
probably his rams head big muff. one of the really old ones.
Has he had that cutaway put in? It looks rather large...
Damn! I can't just love 8 songs off of Where You Been. There's gotta be more DJ that I can really be pumped over. The man can play like a motherfucker.
Daniel's hat
It sounds great but it's a shame they don't film his fingering more.
Damn I loved seeing KHABIB smashing conor! And yes they need to show his finger work cause fuck some of his guitar licks I just can't get by ear lol
badass, goin' for broke
you must not know how j does it XD
There’s one dinosaur left
Dude’s not big into music segues I guess.
Witch brought me here
Yeah J actually wrote a lot of the riffs for Witch and according to J he'd love to make another Witch album. A Witch riff that never got on their records actually ended up on a Dinosaur Jr record. That being "I Walk For Miles" live productions a bit muted though it sounds better live
ua-cam.com/video/HeNUHbqjvJ4/v-deo.htmlsi=POZ4qUKOFhNgO5_2
His voice is partly for women of course but sometimes he could sing better with his band.
Just stand on that distortion pedal jay wouldn’t expect anything else 🎸🎼
