Jazzmaster 50th Anniversary Concert Montage

[metalcore929]

The Nels Cline thing with the artist is killer.

[fraterlucifer888]

@metalcore929 completely agree,Nels paints with sound,the whole concept with the painter was brilliant

[youenjoy00myself]

Nels Cline, what a cool motherfucker

[MwPrice102]

never mind i meant the four song played. idk the one where there are two guys playing and its right before the slides

[MwPrice102]

some body tell me the third song played. the one before the one with the slide guitar

[natewillmusic]

What was the name of that first song?  I have to learn that FUINKY RIFF LOL

[gizmo255]

@natewillmusic Edison Glass - Let Go

[Plywoodhall]

j mascic, thurston and leo are the only og ones there.. the rest rip off them

[RaygunShaun]

@Plywoodhall You're saying Tom Verlaine, Jimmy Ripp, and Nels Cline ripped off Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr? Because that is fucking absurd.

[JukeboxHeartbreak91]

@Plywoodhall even though verlaine been playing jazzmasters longer than all of them. solid observation.

[Prodigiousguy8]

Where the hell is Elvis Costello?

[DDInDaHouse187]

@Prodigiousguy8 hes busy looking dirty while hosting a TV show where he trys to sound more important than his guests

[gobeco]

Tom, tom, tom verlaine

[Dugger1997]

Does anyone know what Lee is doing with his iPhone at 1:52?

[straycatsean]

@Dugger1997

The magnets in the pickups can receive the audio coming out of his iPhone speaker. You can do this with any guitar.

[vastrange]

jazzmaster heaven.



[bimz69]

cobain makes the jazzmaster famous... RIP cobain

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

@bimz69 actually, kurt used a jaguar, but still, respect.

[brw0044]

@bimz69 cobain didn't play a jazzmaster. he did, however, play a shotgun.

[REALCougarsRmales]

I finally bought one. Its like being reborn. 

[SEYMORDICK]

sonic yawn...

[brw0044]

@SEYMORDICK sonic your a moron

[SEYMORDICK]

@brw0044 "YOU'RE" ..........Idiot

[brw0044]

@SEYMORDICK excuse me....sonic you're a moron. now run along. i know you have lots of dicks to consume today.

[salinaspeter]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[MyBeardisGood]

Was the whole concert shot? I would love to see the whole thing

[garagerawk27]

I wonder if Elvis Costello was invited. Aside from Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. he's always one of the first people I associate with Jazzmaster's. His signature model is gorgeous.

[ByelSeygar]

1:19 => 1:47

What's song ?

[SonicJe22]

This was one of the best shows ever. I was backstage and it was history in the making. Each artist who played got a custom Fender reissue super rare! Gorgeous guitars!

[prospectnyc]

I couldn't get into this show. It was raining and the guys that were working for Fender (they had fender shirts and name tags) laughed at me.

[lgu954k]

Great footage. However, one serious question...how did the guitar come to be called the Jazzmaster when I've never, ever seen anyone play jazz on it? It seems like the most inappropriately named guitar ever made. One of the best sounding though...

[floatbox]

mike einziger played something like funky jazz on it...with the time-lapse consortium

[TheSinik]

@ lgu954k, from what I understand Fender was marketing it at Jazz players at the time but it flopped and got picked up later by the surf crowd.

[khaarge]

Joe Pass played it in synanon

[Pasta0fMuppets]

It was basically designed for jazz players in mind but it never took off in that market.

[SuperSajkoSimon]

@Pasta0fMuppets although it really became a hit in the alt rock genre:D

[UberBeaver]

This video is just amazing, some of the greatest guitarists ever are there. If MBV had been there, it would have been perfect.

[ZRN959]

I know, I was wondering why them and not Dino Jr.

[bwilliam68]

Nels Cline!

[ZRN959]

where was Murph and Lou?

[TheCousin666]

love the Jazzmaster... Best Fender guitar ever!!!!

[septip123]

Nels and Thurston create a strange wave, a wall of guitar sound .

[septip123]

Thurston's my favorite

[septip123]

now that would be a cool show to go to.

[nick4man3]

COSTELLO?!

[turnxitxaround]

fuck yea, J mascis is a god.

[okavipra]

He he , was there

[PeripheralSenses]

J Mascis and Thurston Moore... fucking awesome.

[watkinscopicat]

fantastic stuff, but where's ira kaplan???

[digitaliizmusic]

2:19 TO 2:23 is noise, not music, anyways Fender still rocks

[maximusv1]

Please tell me you mean that in a good way.

[sobpunkskate]

what is noise? What is music?

[cowboykittycat]

WHERES MY BLOODY VALENTINE!! and elvis costello......

[BucksStudent]

Why Bloody V isn't there is pretty self explanatory... Elvis wouldn't be caught dead there, though.

[cowboykittycat]

what the fuck are you saying elvis costello would be there he loves fender and started jazzmaster seen in a way and idk what you saying about my bloody valentine

[BucksStudent]

What's your problem? Bloody Valentine were busy with other shows at this time, and Elvis is too busy with his other shit as well.

[thewretchedrod]

...as they say on the video: "it doesn't matter what kind of guitar you play or what you do... imagination is the key..."

[thewretchedrod]

i wish a have one with an (gold)anodised pickward....

[davo171]

This and the jag are the coolest Fenders, I think.

I love how they are the odd man guitar.

[Ookarl01]

yh i agree

[marcogalvezcampos]

que bien suena!!!!!! no es una guitarra muy versatil pero el sonido que emana esta guitarra es una especie de SUEÑO

[aaaah909]

it seems like everyone leaving a comment on this page is hired by/endorsing fender. am i right?

[discotechwreck]

I love Sonic Youth but the clip of their performance was gash

perhaps it needs to be heard in a band context

[hotfirecaster]

Yes they all sucks...

[taylor410ce]

Shit, it seems like everyone who plays a jazzmaster sucks.....but the guys at the end sounded good.

[thewretchedrod]

mmm...thats up to you, but if you want a satriani/vai kind of playing you should have tag "ibanez" intead of fender, thats the way jazzmasters had been played trough years, so i don't think that your opinion could be really relevant...

[taylor410ce]

look at my profile you fucking dumb ass!

I hate satriani and steve via. the only Ibanez player that i like is Bob Weir.

3:00 DOES NOT EVEN SOUND LIKE MUSIC!

[thewretchedrod]

mmm...again... that's up to you...or what every body has told you that "music" is, ok sorry about the "satriani" stuff... but everybody that toldS me jazzmasterS sucks is because of the floating tremolo stuff...and blah blah...but again, our opinion is not relevant... for me...

music=DIVERSITY.

[taylor410ce]

All I'm saying is that the guitars are cool and fender is one of my favorite companies, but the guys on this video suck at playing!

[thewretchedrod]

jajajaja! no mames..! no seas pendejo hermano..! you know..?

most of the times "less is more..."

[digitaliizmusic]

no got it. +100000000000000000 for you.

[upst8]

Great looking guitar - nice to see these incredible musicians showing all the things you can do with it

[WhineyGuitarplayer]

I am a fender player and always will be, i'm hooked on the 2008 strat standard I got. What is the guy doing with his guitar around 3:33, he makes some sort of Indian noise by blowing what looks like into his pickups. I haven't ever been a Jazzmaster player, more of a strat tele guy. Blues baby!

[birdmankustomz666]

The bordom that unerthed that trick, lol.

[PanekPL]

I love Fender guitars. I think that Fender makes the best guitars ever, and I am a proud owner of a 1985 Fender Jazz Bass. The guitars created by Leo Fender helped shaped the face of music forever and influenced culture.

But, unfortunately, all of the bands in the video suck. Especially the guys who played random noise. I can do that sort of shit way better than them, yet I don't get paid for it. Why? Because I prefer playing rather than slamming the strings. It's not music. It's shit.

[spacemenme]

all of these guitarists have done some pretty great things band wise, but i agree that their noise stuff isn't their strongest suit sans a full band. but then again i'd always rather hear my noise as a part of a songs texture. that said i love television, dinosaur, sonic youth, and pretty much anything nels cline plays in. and these are the guys who have made the jazzmaster such a hot commodity in the world of indie/post punk/art punk world so they do deserve the spotlight for that.

[LemonInYourEye]

I agree. what the heck

[basketballjesus23]

Fender is awesome, I personally think that they are a little better than gibson.

[tcrangle963]

fender make the most influential guitars in the world. even looking at them has inspired many players to bein, me being one of them. now after hours of hard work and practice, i have one!

[digitaliizmusic]

1st comment and fender rocks lolz

[digitaliizmusic]

[megajames3000]

[dudeman5790]

you don't have to say first for people to understand that the first comment on the page with the largest amount of time beside it is probably the first comment.

[digitaliizmusic]

I just like making my point.

P.S Fender rocks!
