So many of you keep asking me, what jazz guitar, jazz amps and jazz strings I use in my tutorials. So I made this tutorial on how to get a great jazz guitar sound. I'll teach you how to set up your jazz amp to get that perfect jazz guitar tone.

I'll recommend you some affordable jazz guitars, teach you the difference between round wound and flat wound jazz guitar strings and what amp is best for jazz guitar sound.

You can buy pretty good jazz guitar gear for a decent price, if you know what to look for.

I cover jazz guitar eq settings on the guitar (tone pots) as well as the jazz guitar tone amp settings.

I hope you like this Jazz guitar sound tutorial.

As classical and jazz guitarist it was really great to hear you clarify that if a player's tone sucks before it enters the amp it'll likely suck coming out too. So many players are obsessed with gear over technique.

This is by far the best guide to guitar, equipment & settings for jazz that I’ve seen on YouTube thank you so much for this info 🙏🕊

Fantastic presentation . I learned about the exact problem I have been fighting with on my Ibanez AG 75. I have played an Epiphone Sheraton II for almost 20 years, gigged with it for 10 years, never an issue. Wanted a hollowbody electric, and the Ibanez was in my local music store, used, for a price I could not turn down. Have since changed bridge to a Stew Mac compensated wood bridge, Graph Tech nut, and use 10-46 D Addario, with wound third. It plays fantastic. but sounded like I was playing through a sock. I start with all controls on guitar at 5, but will change that to 10 after watching. I stumbled on turning the mids up, only after lowering bass to 2. Thanks again. you successfully taught an old dog some new tricks, hats off. Have been playing for close to 38 years, 12 for a living, and 8 years weekend warrior, so know a few things and tricks; however your quiet, calm, and knowledgeable approach to this topic made learning easy and fun. Now I gotta go play guitar

It would be fun to sit and have a glass of wine with you and talk gear and jazz theory. Your students are very lucky to have someone with such insight and patience. Tschuss from Canada.

I was told by a Jazz teacher to buy a Howard Roberts Fusion back in 1985. I didn't do it, back then. Seem surrealistic that his advice is still sound even now.

Sandra, I could sit and listen to you for hours. Great topic, well presented obviously with passion.

Hi Sandra. I'm a new subscriber from South Africa. I was a rhythm guitar player for many years - mainly Shadows music. I was in a coma for +- 3 months and lost the ability to play chords. I am now learning jazz arpeggios where I can play only one note at a time. I have an Ibanez Art 120 guitar, 2 humbuckers and I'm playing (learning) jazz arpeggios. I am 72 years old.
Thank you for an excellent video; it really helps a lot. Greetings!

I am a beginner, but just discovered you videos. I will be listening and try to pick up what I can. Just listening to you play has really inspired me and I'm sure that this will add to my lessons and my overall enjoyment of guitar music. Thank you!

[ruicruz]

This is the most comprehensive tutorial I have seen, on any guitar style. Just the explanation of the headroom, is worth this video!

[seanandben]

Greetings to you from Ireland. Thank you for sharing your technique, knowledge and wisdom. Love your videos!

[Mr.Altavoz]

Thanks ...for your time. I bought a Eastman 186 MX and a Roland Jazz chorus last year. My playing has improved a lot since then .
Love and Peace music is the best

I love your Channel! Greetings from Spain!

[debbricault]

Just found your channel today -- love it! I am starting to learn jazz guitar and was wondering what software to use for a jazz tone and you answered my question! I will also go with one of your recommendations for a guitar as well. Thanks!

[eksund]

I'm in love! Excellent video, thank you for sharing!

Hi. The best explanation on amp settings for the right jazz tone I've found ever. I use an Epiphone Dot (natural) and my warmest tone I reached out after listening you was with my Marshall Valvestate 8040 (1992, discontinued 40 watts with a gentle kicking 12" Celestion speaker) made in England. I'm so happy to have found the sound I was looking for over the last two years since I started exploring jazz; amazingly, everything was always in front of me... no effects, just the amp with a bit of reverb, my guitar an a cable. Many many thanks !! Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Greetings from Canada ...Thank you for this informative video. Please provide the name of the software Plug-In. I didn't quite hear it on the video. Does this software package run in "Standalone" mode or require a host DAW package (e.g. Cakewalk- BandLab, CuBase) ? Merci!

[thedevilsbox]

Thanks so much-especially enlightening re the difference between a rockabilly guitar and a jazz guitar!
