- For my Presets visit: johnnathancord... Ok, so since I got to the age of 32 without ever playing an SG of any kind, not a Gibson, not an Epiphone, not a Tokai, I figured I'd try to play some Jazz on this Tokai. Does it work? Trying to play When you Wish Upon a Star.
Thanks to Mike at Rose Morris for letting me check out this Tokai USG124. This is a japanese made guitar, with hardcase, bone nut, vintage specs, (Mike also offered a discount code to viewers of this channel: "JOHNSOLDOUT" for 10% off). Here's me playing it for the first time, and over the next few weeks I should hopefully be able to show you some other cool Tokai guitars.

Traded my SG a few years back and miss it a lot. It’s one of the few guitars that can literally play any style and do it justice
I play Jazz fusion style Jazz on my Sg's and they all do the job quite well.
With 490 T and 490 R?
I've always said that you could take a Telecaster and a Les Paul to any job and cover all the bases. I've always said the same about a Stratocaster and an SG Standard.
Sounds great. Covers a lot of ground beyond ACDC riffs.
Love playing jazz on my SG, such a comfortable instrument
How beautiful! I have always loved SG's. Great job playing.
So relaxing so therapeutic. Thank you for the smooth jazz. I am having a glass of a cold whisky with this smooth jazz.
I get my first SUPER expensive electric within November - an SG.
This is simply wonderful. Your tone is incredible and for me - a lot more enjoyable than the "right guitars for jazz."
The SG was originally called the Les Paul,. in that it was intended to be a replacement for the guitar we know as the Les Paul. It was used by Les Paul himself, therefore it was intended to be used for jazz, as evidenced in this video. Great playing!
The SG can do anything, plus yours is shining like a jazz guitar should
Got me a lovely SG2 from Tokai . Can’t wait until it arrives . Great playing !
You can play jazz with anything I think. It's the touch and the tone settings on the amp/pedals/guitar. If you are not going for a particular sound that is.
Might it be alittle rougher with single coil instruments like telecasters and stratocasters? The natural fuzz might interfere with the clarity one would need for jazz as usually conceived.
I'm probably wrong.
@@studogable Of course it comes down to how you want to sound but to sound jazzy can be achieved even with a telecaster. I mean I really like this bright jazzy tone the telecaster makes, especially if we're talking about an ash body maple neck one which sounds clearer compared to alder + r/w
Mahogany body + neck and humbucker pick up for warm and strong sound!
And good player.
😊
I have an Epiphone SG and always wanted to play jazz and blues. This fits the bill.. Thank you!
I have a Tokai SG and I’m being taught jazz and blues. My teacher is constantly saying what a nice tone the SG has for both!! Enjoy yours 👍
FABULOUS arrangement!! Well done!
Always have to listen to this video every once in awhile
Just fantastic, John-the tone and the arrangement (esp. the chord melody at the start)! I'm an astronomer, so this tune appeals to me in a special way. 8-) -Tom
I'm sure Disney read this comment before making the film.😁
Fantastic. Shows you're a great player most of all but yes SG can be versatile and this Tokai probably is a great buy. I also love the SG Specials
It’s clearly in the fingers. Sounds great to me!
Love the sound you are getting. Getting into jazz, and about to by a new guitar. Was thinking archtop/semi hollow. But have seen a good Gibson sg at a good price, so have definitely helped with my decision. So thank you. By the way, Love your videos, subscribed, and Always look forward to the next one. Thank You, Take Care. Al. 😊
Beautiful tone
The guitar sounds lovely.
Sounds awesome1 SG's are great for jazz :)
Really wonderful playing. It put a happy smile on my face :-) And the tone fits the song perfectly and sits perfectly in the mix too. Thanks John :-)
Beautiful arrangement
Beatiful tone!
It’s absolutely fine to play jazz on a SG. Very skillful playing! Congrats! :)
Wunderschön…..toller Sound🙏👍🌹
Definitely in your hands, with a Dachshund in your heart! Beautiful!
*…somewhere in Oz, Angus is sensing a Disturbance in the Force…*🤣
The real question is can he play the jazz version of “Highway to Hell!”
Well done, John Nathan. Quite lovely.
A full yet clear sound. The chord work comes across especially well.
I love your approach and style of improvisation. Another great video
Beautiful! Love it with the swing beat! I’ve been looking forward to this, will be studying it for the next few days for sure. Thanks! (Oh, and sounds great on the SG!)
Works for me. Very pretty playing/tone. I mean an SG is just a Les Paul with a different body style anyway.
WOW ,TONE OF NOTE LOVE IT JOHN -WELL DONE !!!!
Gorgeous playing
Tone. Skill. Just....WOW! Very nice. All the best.
Years ago I had to borrow an SG for a jazz gig, and it sounds amazing. I am wanting to buy one now. Big question is p90 or humbucker so
Lovely.
Just as great for jazz as any "jazzbox".
Well, it's Gibson. I don't have Gibson or SG model. Instead I have Les Paul replica, which I use with rock, blues, jazzy stuff, prog, and with guitar synth.
Awesome!
This is so beautiful
Oh my you are so accomlished! I would sign you and quick! You are like a Valium. Therapeutic as possible.
I really like your playing. You seem to be playing mostly off the neck pickup. What pickup is this? Sounds clearer than a Gibson '57 Classic. Thanks.- Chuck
This guitar is so misunderstood. Even myself have spent this very day realizing it’s beauty and versatility. Thus why I looked up this video.
Les Paul’s bastard child, unwanted and adopted by the hard rock genre. Fierce around the edges but warm and beautiful on the inside.
You are literally on fire! 😂😂
Let’s hope not LITERALLY!
magnifique tone!
Frisell played An SG with the Paul Motian Trio. Great sound
I bet you read music like a comic book. I am blown away.,MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Very nice playing! I got a Ibanez SG from 1975 and put the best Gibson PAF pickups, sounds like yours, if not fatter and more open, belly....greetings
Nice tone
Bill frisell played an SG in a couple of songs...so yes i guess you can do it, but at the end of the days, the guitar choice is relative. Gone are the days when the only option was a huge gibson hollowbody 😊
Bill Frissell actually played an SG for a while. Early in his career he usually only had one guItar, and for a while it was the SG.
Very nice. Sweet!
Beautiful!
Looking forward to get myself one, i feel like it's a great versatile instrument to complement my Ibanez af95!
Lovely playing 🔥🎸😍. MORE ‼️
I actually play jazz on an sg too
I used to have an SG years back (2013) and I loved it for everything but clean neck tones. It always sounded too thin no matter what I tried and it frustrated me. I've been toying with the idea of grabbing another and just raising the neck pup but I feel I'd be disappointed. Favorite guitar style after a 335 but I just don't remember it being round and warm enough in person. Maybe I'm crazy
Gave me visions of Santa riding motorcycle. Beautiful tone. Music from the heart. Thanks
Sounds fabulous. I have an Epi SG, but jazz is a style that has always eluded me. I don't think I'd know where to start with the chords.
Start with songs 👍
@@Shrimpilla OK. Any you'd recommend that aren't super difficult?
Throw on some Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Ryo Fukui, Ahmad Jamal, Wes Montgomery, some Herbie Hancock and dig in! Don’t forget Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the grave. He is living and wants a relationship with you, just invite him into your heart. Confess that you truly believe and repent of your sins, ask for forgiveness! Living for and through Christ will change your life forever!… God wants a relationship with his children (you) he sacrificed his only begotten son so we can be with him once again (man’s sin separated us from him)! Love from a brother in Christ… May God be at work in you, glory to him forever and ever… Jesus is the King of Kings and truly the Lord of Lords… may Gods spirit dwell inside of you! I love you and more importantly God loves and wants you! Amen!
Autumn Leaves, find a cord melody version with tabs@@Anton_the_Vampire
Very nice.. 👌
Reay nice. Would any know this was actually played on a SG if they only heard it? I bet not.
It plays very well.
The sound is very positive.
Can SG standard play Jazz?
Check out this UA-cam video "Giant Steps (J. Coltrane) Jazz Guitar Solo by Andre Yevsukov". He can definitely play jazz on an SG.
I've been learning Joe Pass almost exclusively on an Epiphone Muse SG. I'm not putting heavy strings on it beause I switch from metal / rock too often to dedicate those kind of strings. What are your knob settings for this? If my tone is rolled off too much, it's just bass wtih no high end at all. I've been using low tone knob settings with both pickups and the bridge pickup turned down lower than the neck.
no jazz tones here...im hearing pure ac dc...great video
SG and Tele… you can play just about any electric gig on the planet….
If it has six strings you can play any type of music.
my teacher did!!
Sounds like it should.
Étienne Chagnon sure does. better than most
It’s not the instrument it’s you
Can anyone recommend some good resources for learning how to play like this? This is chord Melody - right?
Coil split?
There's barely any difference in sound between a Les Paul and an SG (if both are with the same pickups ofc), so if you can play Jazz on an LP then you can play it on an SG
Eh??? 😂😂😂
Have you been taking drugs?!
They sound completely different!
I have several of both.
@@christoguichard4311 different pickups probably. A Les Paul and an SG with the same hardware sound the same
Never had one, I'm surprised how relatively bright it is on the rhythm pu. Ps messy hair gurantees better toanz
Love the guitar and price. Hate U-profile necks. Just awful.
