[heathdwatts]

Excellent playing!

[malicno1]

i really don't know how.. but that guitar looks like some homemade ovation celebrity.

[MrNailsG]

For the sake of humanity.......... take this video down, please, do it for our children...... let's all just forget this ever happened!!

[MrNailsG]

You have got to be kidding right!???  That was soo painful

[ruiner54]

sorry dude but it doesnt count as improv if you dont actually know how to play the instrument. its constant dissonance

[timothypaulking1]

errr what was that!? I thought the the point of playing guitar was to make music?!!!!

[gkfcarsnev]

its bad.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

Fuck Ur faceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee isssssssss soooooooooooo anooooooyyyyyyiiiiiiinnnnlyyyy­y rrrrrreeeeeeetttaaaaaaaaaaarrr­rrrrrteddddddd >=(

[FarhadFirouziProject]

Wow... more than skills, knowledge and technique you got so much confidence, and that's applaudable!!

[DadsWeird]

um  (...)

[MorenNoise]

Interesting improv. and great guitar. No one can tell you what is music or not....If you feel it is OK. Keep it up dude!!!!

[edwardpowellmusic]

@MorenNoise Bravo!

[ItsRainingDonuts]

sounds like jandek.....

[lachimere1]

you must have a mental illness to post a video like that.

[guitarpoetone1]

WoW ! Your A Mistake If Thats How You Play An U wrote A Book on DADGAD U Need To Tune This Guitar To That Cause your Anoying. I didnt want to even write this dude Its Awful Sounding Dont Play the Violin Either Just learn on a regular guitar first maybe youll sound better...WoW! what A Mess

[esraretin]

jim stop :)

[esraretin]

:))

[slashrocks1980]

hes having funn music is a spiritual meditativ thing not a status symbol

jimi eddie and everyone else woulds say thats their excape music

[HaruhiIzumi]

Your camera quality annoys me.

[FFNProductions]

Seriously, this isn't improv, this is just fucking around with a guitar.

[chockub]

on ja chyba dopiero stroi .... ;] co za syf

[fenstratful]

Really? You can't be serious. Sorry for being blunt but maybe you should try another instrument... like an accordion or something or maybe lay off what ever you're experimenting with, not that it would be habit forming.

[smokinbluzvalv]

Dost mine ears deceive me, am I listening to pure crap or just pure garbage? First of all the guitar doesn't sound in tune and second Jim Goodin doesn't really know how to play the thing and third the vid ends abruptly without a proper ending... but who really cares.

[Ram0nZarate]

@smokinbluzvalv Well, you could say that to Fred Frith or Derek Bailey as well... And they sure as hell knows their stuff.

[cruzinbluzin67]

I don't get it. I don't have a word that describes what I'm hearing without being harsh. And you wrote a DADGAD encyclopedia??? Is this some kind of joke??? Are you goofing on us??? It's sloppy and doesn't make sense. Music is supposed to make sense. Profound feeling...? Pah LEEZ! A fretless bagpipe would've sounded better.

[TheHornet79]

Reminds of my first year of playing guitar

[dimebagdarrell2525]

this sounds like SHIT!!!! the notes sound to sour and they don't really click together

[prs7456]

good stuff man, i get where your at... some peeps can't handle it..

[Pijin4]

How to use a fretless guitar as a retard, part1

[evonai]

dude get back to the fret guitars.. and maybe to the musical theory lessons..sorry

[remoman]

note to self, do NOT buy a fretless guitar.

[mohzoheir]

Oh ,my god!

[PitchFork6]

seriously read this comment and STOP DOING DRUGS!!!

[TheVergile]

am at 1:56 right now.

Still waiting for some music to start happening ^^

[VertigoSqueal90]

Every video I see with fretless guitar, sounds like someones messing with the tuners while the person is playing..  I know it takes alot of talent to play fretless, for sure, but.. it sure does sound funny sometimes.

[1055610557]

1 word.......BRUTAL!

[asollich]

This music has such profound FEELING!

[VMGIAN]

hahahahaha .... imbecile

HAHAHAH!!!

[ekremuzum]

allah bu ne yaaaa gıtarın fletlerını sok bıde muzık mı bu

[spawnofpossession88]

well... no

[0TheDome0]

im sorry

i mean thats TERRIBLE !!!!

not awful , im sorry that i´ve written the wrong describe for that ...

[Guitarman4you]

Jim , I have no problem with you and your acid flashbacks ?I supose? LOL but please don't put anymore vids under Derek Patton. Do'nt you think it's a disgrace to him? He's such a talent and you are just ...what ? goofing off? Or do you actually record this and drive down the road listening to it? I'm being serious here...not critical...just real. Help me understand your mind.lol or whats left of it

[jimgoodinmusic]

thanks for listening and have a great day!

[supladito]

woah, nice Mr...!!!

you got yourself pretty tough on there...

God bless...

[4128W10]

Right on Jim!

You play with FULL HEART!

...also it is rare to see a steelstring acoustic guitar played with the skin of the fingers... usually you cant get tone unless you use the nails...

Bravo!

[jimgoodinmusic]

thanks so much for the kind words, I try re heart. yes the nails kept getting torn up early on tapping pieces so over time I just got more used to 'playing' and not worrying about the particular how...

[5Knaves]

well I guess you'd be pressed to dance to it but as someone said to someone who was about to climb a mountain, 'why are you doing that?' Because it's there...

[lazybassplr56]

What is this?

[jimgoodinmusic]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and review my work and for being honest, you're probably rare. I'll check out your stuff soon. May your day be brighter.

Jim

[tarkineWild]

I have to be honest and brutal. It's crap!! there's no other way to put it. Improvisation! ,yeah right.

[MrWireframes]

nice.
