J Mascis / Dinosaur Jr - Guitar Solos

[nymetsrock]

possibly the lowest quality video on the internet, but j's playing makes up for it

[jergenx]

He may not be the most technical guitar player, but jesus christ, is he one of the most underrated. I kind of compare him to hendrix. He puts so much feeling into his playing, as opposed to all these big names who rattle off a bunch of obscure sweep picking patterns over and over.

[TTGHatianModz]

The second solo was recorded with a rock

[gtarluva]

But then later when J does melody....it's simply J Mascis signature lead..very nice.

[gtarluva]

To me this sounds like a messier EVH. But that's a good thing. I LUV the attitude in it.

[feildmouse]

undeniable proof that j is, in fact, a powerful wizard

[popguns77]

what is the first song in this montage?

[Koettnylle]

@popguns77 I think it's out there

[deengew]

Anyone knows if he does mostly major arpeggios

[Mooktopia]

i think thats his esquire not telecaster...but whatevs j solos are always amazing.

[AntiGravDisclosure]

its not on here, but the solo in 'whatevers cool with me'... where can i get the tab?

[paulpsyche]

thanks for putting this together! love thier live stuff much better than the studio recordings

[sunbeam11]

Quite the opposite for me, the studio recordings benefit from rhythm guitar and solo together. Live when J solos the rhythm guitar obviously has to stop and a large hole appears in the sound as well as removing a counterpoint to the solo. I like the way J weaves a solo on studio tracks, live it can be a bit of a HM wank fest. I still always go to see them live though, naturally,

[fuxfish]

brendaoin,you are not a trained musician.That Is a lie.Also,when you say you are not impressed,that is also a lie.I shall speak the truth,-your absolutly fuct in the head.

Let me help you out a little here,check out some J.mascis here on u-tube, watch a bunch,feel stupid for saying what you said then forn a intelligent opinion.3 easy steps to not sounding so stupid again.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

J, THE #1 most underrated guitarist ever.

Such a shame. If only others were aware of his skills.

[benciano]

@DeadWhiteButterflies COMPLETELY agree

[shitfer]

I remember Jenny Jones saying Dinosaur Jr is on the program & I was like, WTF is she rattling on about? No joke. & they were no joke. Kick ass! Thanks for posting this!

[greencrayolas199508]

[modifiedcontent]

He did a great version of Funkadelic/Eddie Hazel's Maggot Brain with Bernie Worrell on Mike Watt's album.

There's a live version on YouTube without Worrell here: watch?v=kkGla6BKofU

[DanBL0N00]

one of the most underrated guitarists out there today

[connorhalsell]

[lulon76]

I'd say it's Out there

[GEOpz838]

Yes, Out There.

[TheCousin666]

I never saw mascis with an other guitar than a jazzmaster in my life.... I knew that he plays every kind of guitars in the studio. but live??

[TheCousin666]

[weirdgirl1338]

J Mascis Has Got Soul

[FarleyisGod]

[hikupoopoo]

[seanshred666]

i hope u realise how much of a stupid comment that was, even if u didnt mean it it doesnt matter cos people will tear into u no matter what

[realitysoldier]

next youre gonna say stevie ray vauhgn? i dont care that i spelled his name wrong.

[dinosaurjr420]

very true, man. some people don't like melody in a guitar solo.

[rockerdude29]

He is great,extremely underrated.

[popp1nbottlez]

@rockerdude29 i'm pretty sure he's not underrated at all

[rockerdude29]

@popp1nbottlez Whys that? How many people do you honestly hear talking about J Mascis' guitar playing,let alone J. Mascis or Dino Jr?

[popp1nbottlez]

@rockerdude29 i'm not sure that underrated means underheard. i think people that know of him and his work don't think negatively of it.

[Dabinyol]

You don't know shit, son.

[Oxygu]

[fjvaldivieso]
