Blackbird on Jazzmaster

HQ version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krPk6Y_Y9gU&fmt=18

Blackbird (from the Beatles' White Album) played (WAY TOO FAST, I know ;) on my Fender Jazzmaster (Japan) with Jason Lollar pickups.
I start the song with both pickups in parallel, then switch to the neck pickup.
My first Youtube video, don't be too hard :)

@fefsfdssdv - Yes, that's the color Fender Japan calls vintage white, it is quite "creamy". You can see it better now that I've replaced the pickguard by a white one :

This is a beatiful guitar,well thought of in terms of design,personally i think this is better than a telecaster,btw is the fingerboard ebony?

coz it looks dark from my computer screen.

Its a shame Fender neglected this series coz its versatile,comfortable and sounds good.

The fingerboard is rosewood, the video is a bit dark. Well they're not _that_ neglected; Fender has recently created a "Classic Player" Jazzmaster series made in Mexico. Slightly different specs from a standard Jazzmaster, but great instruments nonetheless. :)

i have a question, what do all of those switches do, this may seem like a stupid quesion, but i play a strat and the only switch it has is a pickup selector.... and jazzmasters seem to have like, 5 switches.

[Stof31]

When upper switch is up:

- only neck pickup is active;

- tone and volume can be set with the upper black wheels (these are pots, not switches).

When upper switch is down:

- the active pickup(s) can be selected with the lower 3-way selector, like on a Tele;

- tone and volume can be set with the lower white pots.

The point of this setup was to have two different settings with their own tone and volume, so you could use the upper switch during a song to change from rhythm to solo and back.

Slow DOWN!?

[uchihathegreat]

good but the tempo needs to be slowed down a little bit

[MrPhotodoc]

WAAAAAAAAAAY too fast!

[steffenla4]

Great playing! I really dig the jangly blue-grassy vibe of the tempo.

Those Lollars sure do sound great

@Stof31 Thanks a lot. Another question i have is whats the finish coated with? polyester? nitro? or poyutherine? Thanks

[SotR59]

the speed kinda makes it sound Blue grass. Still pretty cool.

[StonedPro]

SLOW DOWN!!!
