What is a jazzmaster for?
*Me an intellectual* : To be a master of Jazz of course
Preferably on a car's fender, ideally from 1961!
Ya like jazz?
Or, a shoe gazin' ,' verb drenchin', substance bangin', mastah of the disaster, rapidly called yr own life,---bruh.
@@markferguson3745
Ya! Me too!
Stopping doors . holding papper down . ammo for your friends to talk shit . " u r a moron 4 buying that .
This is some of the most tasteful playing I’ve seen in a while
Thanks for watching, really pleased you enjoyed it!
I hate that I don’t need another guitar but Stuart just rocked my entire world and now I’m pricing them on sweetwater.
@@weezer91101 Ah, I must apologise - if it's any consolation I've been there myself many times! In fact even though I'm in the UK there are many times I've headed over to the Sweetwater site "Just to take a look"...
No doubt, this guy is an incredible player.
It does get quite boring after you hear the millionth blues lick or riff, of which you can't tell apart from the other million that came before. This is much more interesting.
It's hard to find players who demo in such a wide range of styles as you. Bravo.
Thanks for watching Austin! Best wishes, Stuart
It's also good that he ends up teaching us some names of styles.
Yes! This is the first review that was nearly this fine and info-filled since the day I realized I can’t afford a Novo & decided to get a J-master. Love the shape, love the neck love the tone(s) and most of all, I loved the demonstration. I’m at an intermediate plateau and trying to find a way out and up!This is a review that TAUGHT me all kinds of things about hand position, fingering, chords I’ve never seen played so cleanly. Thanks, Ryan! You’ve a new subscriber, fan and student!
@@StuartRyanMusic You're responsible for my Jazzmaster purchase! Great demo, super detailled, well done.
😳
This guy could sell me a 90’s squire.
Good one!
Weren't squier's pretty good then? Like ik they had a factory in Japan at one point
Late Night Thinker yeah, 90s squiers are pretty desirable now, especially the vista series.
@@dougthealligator I bought a new Squire in 1994. It was garbage. It was so much worse than my pawn shop, no name, strat copy.
mike spence idk, you probably got a dud. My college roommate had a 90s squier he literally found in a dumpster and it was one of the best strats I’ve ever played to be honest.
A jazzmaster is for using the whammy bar while strumming and making crazy noises by playing behind the bridge.
You could basically score an entire movie noir with a Jazzmaster
StuartRyanMusic absolutely true
Anyone caught without a whammy bar on their Jazzmaster should be hung drawn & quartered, in public!!!
uhh relax
Shut up ya Kevin Shields wannabe!!!
Excuse me... but i know exactly what a jazzmaster is for....
*turn's on the reverb, delay, mild distortion and chorus pedal to start playing randomly some seventh chords to act like its a song*
Silvia Romero that hit way too close to home for me
I feel personally attacked.
☑ i'm in this photo and i don't like it
This is exactly what i do and I have NO CLUE what i am doing but I can work the feedback on my delay pedal very well.
You’ve just called out every local indie rock band in the world
When talking about drapes or clothing
Him: It's pink!
Her: No it's actually fuschia
When talking about guitar finishes:
Her: It's pink!
Him: No, it's burgundy mist
It is Fucksia, in Europe, dude. Did you see those four screws from behind? That is a hint, too. This thing is pink. And he loves it.
@Chris Bliss Not if you are a girl! Actually, it's not pink enough!
@Chris Bliss ah, we’ve found the friendly comment section homophobe.
When you realize that it’s you that sounds like crap and you don’t need a new guitar at all but still want it so bad
The real tone magic here doesn't come frome the guitar, it comes from you.
That's very kind of you to say but a great guitar really helps!
@Steven Lindsey funny you say that I have a little one from Walmart for camping that sounds as good as my sons Martin backpacker. Plus is always extra firewood if needed
@@scootersage damn Corona v Killin axes
Jazzmaster is the most “Fender” sounding Fender
What does that mean
It's like the perfect marriage of Tele and Strat - chime and fatness!
I'd argue the Jaguar might be in the running, too.
@@aaronabubo Definitely - I need to get one as well
no fender is most recognizable then a strat. blindfold.
What is a Jazzmaster for?
Me, an intellectual: shoegaze of course
thank you

@@jean-jacques4852 many thanks
I love you stranger
fender should pay for this review .best review for jazzmaster
If you look "highly educated guitar player" from a dictionary you'll find this guy. Thanks for this, awesome and interesting way to play!
You are very kind! Thanks for watching!
Came for the Jazzmaster, stayed for the guitar master. Amazing chops! Liked & subscribed.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!
Dude, your playing is sick! I came here to listen to how the Jazzmaster works for country music but I watched the entire video twice. This is the valuable content that the guitarists need!!
Thanks for sharing your music with all of us!
Thanks for watching Luciano! The JM does a great job for Country, I used it on a Country recording recently, I preferred what it was doing over my Strat/Tele/335. All the best, Stuart
So nice to see a demo that includes more than just blues licks from a guy with a goatee and oakleys! Fender should be paying you commission, this video has me about to buy one
Q
The best video on a jazzmaster review i have ever seen.
Thanks for watching! They have always been a mystery to me so I wanted to do them justice in this video
Agree!!!
Indeed!
Yes.
Makes me wish someone would do a similar video with a jaguar
One of the best sounding guitar demos I’ve ever heard.
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
90% of the sound is in Stuart's fingers. Blown away by (t)his work
I know I’ve commented before but I don’t care this is the best demo on UA-cam for any guitar by any individual I know it’s a big claim but it’s factual.
Agreed👍🏻
The most underrated electric guitar.
It can open up whole new worlds in your playing.
I exclusively play the Aladdin soundtrack on my JM
This has completely changed my mind about Jazzmasters. Now I need one.
I must admit it changed my mind too - I thought they were a one trick pony!
I was given the Squier J MASCIS model Jazzmaster. It's a wonderfully made and affordable beast of a guitar. So many tones and a great piece to record with. Shimmering sparkle with bite.
@@sryburn641 Have the jmascis too. It is way too underrated. And sounds so nice, round and sparkly! And of course, very Affordable (;
Matthordika me too
I too have a j mascis, sick guitar 🤘🏾
It is perfect for playing Shoegaze.
Jaguars and Mustangs too.
In 15 years of playing, I always wondered what a Jazzmaster sounded like.
I watched this and I can’t even tell, my ears were just blown up by your fantastic playing. Cheers !
Dude, you play that jazz and funk seemingly effortlessly. Amazing!
Huge fan of jazzmasters but disappointed with what I feel is a lack of recognition amongst the guitar community. So many people think they're just P90s.
Amazing playing btw. Very skilled and tasteful
Agreed - everyone does indeed assume they are P90s wheras they are actually quite different. It does feel like they are being taken more seriously these days though. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Yeah p90's are totally. Different.
Aren't they. shorter scale??
@@MrAMF50 Pretty sure it's the Jaguar that has the shorter scale.
@@MrAMF50 same scale as Strat and Tele. Jaguar has shorter scale
What the hell band’s this guy in? He’s one of the best guitarists I’ve ever seen, he could make any guitar model look good! If he’s not in a band he should be.
Thanks for the kind words! Not in a band but I've done loads of studio work and performance/writing over the years. Would love the right band though! All the best, Stuart
I have to admit, this video led to me buying a Squier Classic Vibe Jazzmaster a couple of weeks ago, I love it! Amazing playing sir!
See the professional dislikers have struck again. Great video, why would anyone interested in finding out more about the Jazzmaster dislike it?.
They are never too far away Phillip! Thanks for watching, really glad you enjoyed it! Best wishes, Stuart
Those shoegaze hipsters lol
Folks are just jealous of what they can’t do.
Right who the hell would dislike this video?
14:10 textural guitar. Thank you for that demonstration. Very important.
Brilliant demo. The section from 14:20 ~ 15:35 was heavenly
The chimiest tone out there
One of the best guitar demos ever! In every respect, playing, audio, demonstrating all possible tones, and explanation. Great work mate, keep it up
Thanks Danny, comparing this to an original 1963 next!
Superb demonstration of how versatile and expressive a Jazzmaster can be. Seriously talented and tasteful playing. Thanks, Stuart!
Q: What's a Jazzmaster for??
A: Well... basically everything...
It makes you wonder if they had called it something different would it have gained more popularity? Thanks for watching!
@Clucky Plucker why you gotta be so rude lol? It's by no means a "fideous" guitar.
@Clucky Plucker you seem oddly disturbed by a simple inanimate object... good luck to you. I hope you'd don't have to run into any more "ugly" guitars.
@Clucky Plucker suit yourself, I think they look cool as hell. There's video of joe pass using a jazzmaster or a jag, can't remember which, though it was obviously short lived. I think jazzmasters are quirky and unique looking without being absurd. If I saw somebody at a jazz gig with one, I'd dig it.
Amazing.
I've tried for 15 years to show what that guitar can do, and you've done it in a single video perfectly.
That's very kind Nicolas, really pleased you enjoyed it - I still have a lot to learn about this guitar!
This guy could take an Affinity and make it sound like a $5000 guitar
I'm a drummer since 1965. Love this guitar. Most enjoyable listening to this video.
Love those triplet skips at 7:30! Perfect finger position throughout and very clean, precise playing.
Thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching!
It really shows the diversity of the instrument. Excellent review.
Thanks for watching Joe - I must admit I was surprised by how versatile these guitars are. I took it on a gig recently and the band were surprised too!
It sure seems like a really good Jake of all trades! The sounds were clean, crisp, and even when driven you can tell it could handle Grunge or Rock.
Don’t even play guitar but I watched the whole thing
Thanks Jasper! Best wishes, Stuart
This comment sums things up perfectly for me 😀
@Kenny the G yeah, I'm a chick and I dig playing guitar. Can vouch, chicks dig it.
That country tone is badass. I really think that the jazzmaster is the most versatile guitar you can get
8:03 is the best sound I'd ever heard.
Thanks for watching Mark! I continue to be impressed with this guitar, I'll check back in after 6 months with it! Best wishes, Stuart
Mark that sound reminds me of Ed Bickert.
Your comment inspired me to look him up again but sadly found he passed away this week.
*edit ... this week of last year.
@@Riverdeepnwide That's really sad about Ed Bickert, I didn't know he'd just passed away. I think I'll learn some of his licks this week!
Gentlemen I apologize for my misleading information, Ed passed March 2019, not 2020.
@@StuartRyanMusic Hey! You're supposed to be back!
Didn’t know a jazz master can do such many different types of job! I’ve already been in love...
Hi Zhen, I didn't either - I bought it for some 1960s/Surf type recording work then started playing around and realised its full range! It's like the best of a Strat and Tele combined! All the best, Stuart
My GOSH do you know how to promote a guitar's best sounds. Thank you for the video, I still can't believe this first section from 1 to 5 minutes in is a single take. Just flawless! 😍
Thanks Clem, that's really kind. I've worked as a studio guitarist many times over the years and you get to recognise the tone of voice changing if you go over 2 - 3 takes...
You make that jazzmaster sing in ALL Styles. BRAVO!!!
12:50 avoiding the youtube copystrike like an expert
No kidding!
Did you think he was gonna play Iron Man or something? 😁
Easily the best demo of what this guitar is capable of. Good job!
you play so beautifully! Every single style you played just left me at a loss for words, jaw-dropped. You really brought out the beauty and amazing potential of the jazzmaster
I had a '64 jazzmaster for 20 years...sold it for the same $150 I bought it for during my midlife crisis. I never sounded as good as you, but I loved the guitar. You, sir, are wonderful, I loved your video.
Damn!! Came upon this site by happenstance. Didn't know who this dude was but was intrigued to hear something about Fender's perplexing Jazzmaster guitar. Ended up staying for the whole 18+ minutes listening to some of the best fret-board knowledge of chording & note playing I've seen yet on Y.T., LOL!
I've never heard anyone actually play jazz on a Jazzmaster until now. It sounds great! Nice chops, dude!
All jokes and the clever banter aside.
This is the best and thorough Jazzmaster or any guitar demo/explanation/breakdown I've come across. Demonstrating it's versatility was crucial. You have to have an axe that can do it all and more..
Great demo … and evens better playing. That “texture “ piece was beautiful!
Just got myself one yesterday and im already in love with it
What a wonderful demo-sophisticated playing across a variety of styles with a professional and informative presentation. Thanks a lot!
I will check your channel everytime I wanna know something about guitars from now on. One of the few videos that I have found on UA-cam that is 100% dedicated to show how versatile a guitar is.
Never knew a jazzmaster would be so versatile, and like everyone else, very impressed with the playing.
i dont understand why people like you arent bigger on you tube.
Leo took the strat to artists and fine tuned the design. On the jazz, he did everything on his own without anyone's opinion. The guy was a genius.
“I don’t want a house full of guitars so that’s why I went out and bought this new guitar”.
Lol, you sound like me.
I saw a Squire Jazzmaster at a pawnshop. As soon as I saw that hardtail bridge. I was in love.
What a great job! One of the best demo videos I have ever seen. I love how you went through all the styles with ease. Subbed!
That atmospheric bit at 14:51 or so was just lovely. Very nice playing, and what a great sounding guitar!
9:14 my man throwing gang signs at 300mph
One of the most beautifully played demo/history videos I’ve ever seen. What an elegant player ..
Excellent video. Your dialogue, your playing, great info, great choice of topical coverage. Thank you!
The little lick you play from 7:32-7:37 is 🔥🔥🔥 great guitar playing throughout man
A great guitar is nothing without a great player. Excellent playing my friend!
the best review I have seen so far about this guitar, thanks!
Great demo of one of my favorite guitars. You’re spot on about textured sounds-it’s in its natural environment when played with reverb, slapback, delay, phaser, univibe, etc.
Great playing! I have not seen a more complete guitarist in terms of playing styles and genres. The tones from the JM were awesome! Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for watching and the kind words, really pleased you enjoyed it!
This video made me want two things: a jazzmaster and to listen to dinosaur jr
YLAOM and Bug..👍🏼
Check out j mascis sig
@@saintrhoads3375 I second that. I have beautiful J Mascis Jassmaster which is white with gold anodized aluminum pickguard. Best feeling and sounding guitar I've ever owned.
@@internalmethods I'm a little late to the conversation but it also has p90 pickups. I bought one a month ago and it's replaced my strat. The neck feels like it was made for a grown up with normal sized hands.
I LOVE the style of the matching headstock. Great playing and demonstration!
I've browsed through all of the Jazzmaster videos on UA-cam. This is the best one. Really shows the versatility of the instrument. Got to get one of these for myself...Cheers.
Thanks for watching Tal, really pleased you enjoyed it and thanks for the kind words! All the best, Stuart
14:20 is my favorite Jazzmaster sound. As you mention the textures are amazing. This reminds me very much of Tom Verlaine's sound (especially on his later solo albums). Thanks for the demo.
Thanks Ron! Yes, you are right about the Verlaine thing - sometimes a certain guitar is needed for a certain sound and Jazzmasters are great for that bright, cutting tone if it's needed. Best wishes, Stuart
Not a guitar I've ever paid much attention to, but I'm impressed. Admittedly I'm mainly a bassist but I've always kept a strat or a tele (I love the tele) around the house. The question now is would I get away with buying one of these behind her back🤔
Hi David, long time Tele player here too - the wonderful thing about a JM is it makes you play differently. Funnily enough I've been playing a lot more bass myself recently so my next target is to sneak another one of those in :)
StuartRyanMusic excellent playing sir. But as for you and David sneaking another axe into the house under your wives’ noses; forget it. THEY KNOW... THEY KNOW. I have a room where I store my guitars and basses and swear my wife must have cataloged them because she knows every time I get a new one... every time. 😂
@@keithperkins3798 The trick is to present the deal as not involving an injection of cash 😉
Don't do it. She will find out.Sooner or later.
More of this please! Your technique and tonal vocabulary are excellent.
Great demo! Best I’ve seen for the Jazzmaster so far. Nice job!
Best Jazzmaster demo I've ever seen. I wasn't sure about getting one - now I'm sold thanks to you.
Subbed to your channel - I'm sure there's lot more great content in it. Peace!
Thank you! I thought about one of these guitars for about 5 years before finally going for it - really glad I did as it brings a new sound in. Best wishes, Stuart
Came here for the guitar, stayed for your playing, like many of your watchers 😉 Such a great and tasteful feel and sound. Hats off sir 🙏
Thank you!
I expected this to be like so many other jazzmaster guitar demos... but it really was the very best that I have seen. ...and I've watched a lot of them. Nicely done.
I absolutely love your playing and love you showing the different styles.
You’re such a brilliant guitarist. I’ve been playing over ten years and you’re playing chords I never heard before lol
That's really kind Danny, thank you! I've been lucky enough to have been around some great players over the years and each time you take what you can from them! All the best, Stuart

Ha ha! This is true I must confess - I'm already looking at Fender Jaguars!! Re-boot complete...
@@StuartRyanMusic oh yes, do a review of you playing that Jaguar...please.
Great demo. One of the clearest I've seen. Brilliant playing and a full range of styles explored.
Thank you for watching, I'm really pleased you liked it!
One of the best guitar demo videos I have watched. And I watch a lot of them!!! Lovely tasty playing
sounds identical to Harrison’s strat in Octopus’s Garden
And honestly who doesn’t want to sound like that
I knew it sounded familiar.

I think this is the best demo of a guitar I've seen. You played a lot of different genres which is something most reviewers don't do. All the others could learn a thing or two from you. Great playing as well.
Your knowledge and explanations are great. However, your playing is unreal! So happy I saw this! You rock!
Thanks Greg you are very kind! Really glad you enjoyed it! Best wishes, Stuart
Always been enthralled with the Jazzmaster. I'll be getting one in two days. Bassist by trade, but noodle around a bit on guitar, doing songwriting. I've wanted one of these for 56 years! (Squier Classic Vibe, Sunburst). Great video and playing!
Great vide and demo awesome playing techniques, thanks Stuart
YOU ARE A FANTASTIC PLAYER!!! SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!
Great vid! Love your surf jam to close it out. I bought a JM to ring in the new year and am super happy with it. Bit of a dream guitar for me. Covers all the genres. Surf, rockabilly, punk, garage...
Hi Jason, they really do so much - surf is just the tip of the iceberg. Ironically I bought mine for studio work as I found Strats and Teles weren't quite doing Surf as much as I wanted - I subsequently discovered the full range of a JM!
That color is beautiful! Love that you got the matched headstock. I have a Jaguar in Candy Apple Red with the matched headstock and this video made me think I might need to get a Jazzmaster too!
I love the matching headstocks on these things - I think it works better on JMs and Jaguars than it does on Strats and Teles but maybe that's because I'm so used to unpainted headstocks on the classics. All the best, Stuart
great demo and playing - excellent outline of the functionality, much appreciated!
I honestly say that this is the best guitar demo I've ever seen. Well done, sir, well done!
You have an absolutely beautiful Jazzmaster! It looks like it belongs in your hands. Keep rockin´ brother! You sound really good!
Thank you so much! It's a great guitar and I really do feel at home on it!
i already own one of these im just here for that jazzmaster love
Thanks for visiting!
Excellent demo of the fantastic attributes of this great guitar that took me a very long time to discover. My JM gives me the most beautiful clarity and flexibility of tone I have never fully found on any other guitar. Recommended!
Tremendous picking and playing, this video may be four years old now, but it is still absolutely relevant in 2024
