Godin 5th Avenue

[xr650r01]

I love the demo man! There are a hundred videos of this guitar bangin out jazz and that's fine, but I want to know what else it can do and this video certainly provides insight on just how well rounded this gutar is. Love it! Well done!

[RelaxNplay64]

the godin 5th avenue is so awesome it can handle any style of music

[CanadaGuy80]

That guitar sounds like shit.

[Giyar2000]

nice video man, I wondered how this guitar would sound, and nog jazz-wise.. because I don't play jazz :P

And I too play some metal on my telecaster

[Lexrockstheblock]

@Giyar2000 telecaster owners please step into this pit of hellfire with your inferior guitar

[Giyar2000]

@Lexrockstheblock don't you have a Dean Dimebag Darrell demo video to watch?

[jackoshaw]

@Giyar2000 Man if I buy this guitar, I'llh ave to learn more than 3c hords! That guy was hot!

[renzolikescheez]

I would love a twelve string version.

[vinylevel]

funny dude :D

[timothyaleonard]

Whoooo BOY!! That was wonderfully snappy :) I'm just starting to get into jazz playing and that was quite wonderful. Don't know if I should invest in an archtop or not though. Love that 5th Avenue! Great playing!

[msilva827]

sounds awesome, but try loosening up a bit man.

[Hafrgraut]

Uæhh!

[Art2703]

You should it to make jazz music, not rock like that..it's certainly not quite presant to hear

[PalleSchultz]

@Art2703 - You got to step out of your preconceived thinking. Instruments are meant for playing music. They are not meant to be museum items that comes with a rulebook of what you, according to the secret rules of dogmatists, can play on it.

I suggest that you grab a 'real Jazz guitar' and record it while you play rulebook jazz till your fingers become numb. I promise that you will not get a comment, where I complain about you doing that, no matter how boring or annoying I will find it.

[moucon]

@PalleSchultz amen brother! And don't let me catch you playing any jazz on an SG either -- that's only for "rock". And telecasters are only for "country". What a bunch of nonsense.

[MjXllcommando]

@PalleSchultz theres nothing wrong with your playing but you are demoing a guitar, chances are most people buying this are going to be using it for jazz, that is what its designed for, so it would be a little more helpful if you played that. It would be like plugging a telecaster into a mesa boogie and cranking out metallica riffs, yes you could do it, but you wouldnt be demonstrating the guitar performing at its best, in its own element

[PalleSchultz]

@MjXllcommando

I play metal on a Tele too, no problem!

[DorakoftheHillPeople]

@MjXllcommando When Gibson made their first L5 some 90 years ago, I'm pretty sure they had no intention of marketing specifically to Jazz musicians. It's sound/design influenced Jazz, not the other way around. Likewise, Godin did not design this guitar specifically for Jazz, and that style isn't necessarily implicit in this git's design or manufacture. I own one and I play it several times a week - which is saying something as I own 15 other guitars - but I've never played Jazz with it.

[RISK9000]

@MjXllcommando Here's Robert Godin explaining why he designed this guitar:

PS: Great demo, Palle. Very powerful playing. :)

[PalleSchultz]

@RISK9000

Thanks for the link and comment. I like that Godin ends up stating, that: 'This guitar is not just for the Jazz player'. :)

[englishdeltajazz]

Nice dem - thanks

[Nathan59]

Thanks for demoing this guitar with other things that Jazz !!

Great vidéo !

[PalleSchultz]

In My mind, It is a pretty cool guitar for anything. If it got strings, one should play it with an open mind, no matter if the purists tremble ;)

[Nathan59]

I totally agree ;)

[HardRockLeadGuitar]

Did the tuner break or what ?

[PalleSchultz]

Close enough for Rock'n Roll

[steffenbrix]

It's the jazz guitarist from Dicte!!

[GroovyGuitar02]

does it sounds loud compared to a dreadnought ?

[PalleSchultz]

Suprisingly loud, but not anything nearly as loud as a dreadnought

[MrRubbernecker]

"Heh Heh Heh." Youre sneaky laugh concerns me.  I bet you later stole that guitar.

[PalleSchultz]

I'm not a Jazz Guitarist, But i liked the guitar...

[northwestmike]

You mean all that funky slamming of the strings you did was not JAZZ? Thank you Captain Obvious! LOL! Just kidding. Nice video, man. Good times.

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

wow man very nice funky riffs thats just great!!
