EP589 – New Fender Player II Jazzmaster

[Garry]

Hi All,

Here’s a great blues by Brian highlighting the Mixolydian Mode. A couple of months ago I received some money from my late father and decided on a Fender Player II Jazzmaster. I know the new ones don’t have a rhythm circuit but I’m still pleased. I’m really enjoying it and it’s definitely got a different feel and tonal qualities than my other guitars.

Hope everyone is well.

My gosh this sounds AMAZING! Both your touch/playing and the new guitar. Congratulations. Love this Garry. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Love the Trem bar. Great use of.

Sounds reminiscent of George Benson’s On Broadway….

Very nicely played indeed Garry. I remember doing this lesson a little while back and it was very enjoyable to play.

I borrowed my friends Jazzmaster for one of the performances I did here. VERY impressed with that guitar 🎸. It is so versatile that, if I was only allowed one electric guitar, that would be my guitar of choice. Dare I say that I liked it more than the Strat 🤪

Nicely played, Gary. The tone sounds beautiful. Do you find the P-90’s noisier than other single coil pick ups in your arsenal?

[Garry]

Hi John. Thanks for listening. The pickups are actually Alnico V Single Coils, not P-90s and they hum less than my Strat by a fair way. One aspect I was very surprised with was when I put it next to my other guitars how much longer it was. Very comfortable to play though. Hope you’re well. 😎🎸😎

Veyr nice. Playing and tone.

Oh, what a nice rich (smooth) jazzy tone, Garry, it’s a beauty!

Congrats on the NGD!

A great way to inaugurate your axe, Garry! It looks and sounds gorgeous and your playing for this beautiful EP is flawless and soulful at the same time! Loved those gentle touches on the vibrato arm, just adding the right amount of “sparkle” to those notes! Great rendition, my friend!

Hi Garry, that’s one of my favorite Brian’s lessons. I love that on and forth rhythm. Very tastefully and smoothly played, especially on these 16th mixolydian runs.
Like Guido said, very gentle touch of your trem bar👍. The sparkling sound is the cream on top of the notes.
Congrats to your new jazzmaster guitar. I like that colour.

Great sounds from you and your Jazzmaster Garry. I’ve never played a Jazzmaster, but it seems like the players who play them really love them. Great lesson to inaugurate your new guitar, and perfect tone for that lesson.

Well-done, as always, Garry. Love the new addition to your collection. Sounds terrific.

[Garry]

Thanks to everyone for having a listen. Much appreciated. If you get a chance to play a Jazzmaster take up the opportunity. All the best! 😎🎸😎

[Andy N]

Congratulations on this latest addition to your growing collection of Fenders, Garry. Such a glorious tone. Jazzy yet sweet and full and your smooth playing and touch really brought that out. It will be a nice complement to the tones of the tele and the strat.
I bought my Martin with money that my Mum left me and every time I play it, it reminds me of her. I hope the same is true with this and your Dad. It’s a good feeling🎸👌

[Martin W]

Congratulations on the new axe Garry it sounds amazing.

Fantastic playing and use of the Trem bar.

The mixolydian has always given me a headache but you seem to flow through it with ease.

Looking forward to hearing more from this guitar.
