Man Jade is still so fresh sounding. His riffs are timeless.

[Beardmeatsfood]

Jade was the guy who made me want to buy a Les Paul. Transformed AFI’s sound into something technically mesmerising.

[mariopetri]

Jade is such an underrated guitarist to everyone but AFI fans. This dude is insanely talented as a song writer

[_GandalfTheGrey_]

One of, if not, the best at blending rhythm and lead guitars into one guitar simultaneously, especially for a punk guitarist.

So so so underrated. Nobody ever brings up Jade idk why

[knmbsst]

Girls not grey's riff is just tiemless, magical and haunting, and revealing how he plays it its just like a mistery solved to me. Thanks jade and gibson

[ethanjto]

I’ve only been waiting 15 years for this knowledge…

[TyDie]

Jade Puget is the definition of a single guitar creating a full sound. And what amazing creativity he has!

[claudiolongobardi]

Always thought that Jade's way of writing and playing was pure genius, every time there's a video of him playing clearly in front of the camera it's so majestic

[DT-tqku]

Massively underrated. The guitar work on Sing The Sorrow completely captivated me when it came out as I was first learning the instrument.

Such an inspiration. I learned so much from trying to learn his songs. Amazing riffs, excellent solos and incredibly memorable songwriting.

Coming back to that album, half a lifetime later for me, I’m really surprised at how intricate and thoughtful his playing is. I was also really surprised to find that many of the things in my bag of tricks actually came from me trying to emulate Jade as a beginner guitarist years ago.

You rule, Jade. Thanks for everything.

Following AFI for 21 years and Jade being my Favourite guitarist ever I can officially say this is the best video I have ever watched. I’m especially proud of myself that self teaching myself these riffs over the years that I was actually pretty close on a few of them !

6:50 My man straight said, "If your guitar doesn't have a nineteenth fret you probably need to take it back and get a new one." Jade is the man and his riffs are so full. I love how he talks about his approach to song-writing as the only guitar player in the band. Great setlist (if you will) here, also! I always heard Hunter as the primary driving force for GNG, but Jade seriously knows how to color a song. This vid gave me a whole new appreciation for Jade's contribution to the band. Yo does so much - it's insane!

[BetterThanMeOfCourse]

I’ve been waiting over half my life to see what Jade actually plays for days of the Phoenix. This is awesome

[wesebeling]

This is phenomenal. Jade is such an influential and original guitarist/songwriter. His riffs sound so full and thick live like multiple guitars- but its just him…blazing though his amazing riffs going bonkers all the while! Long time fan and their new album- like all of their albums- is just phenomenal like this interview. What a cool guy. Thank you Jade and Gibson!

[stanhalen]

When I was growing up playing guitar in bands Jade was one of my biggest inspirations. In my personal opinion I think he is one of the all time greats at filling space and writing amazing guitar parts as a single guitar player. And he just looks so awesome on stage. I still watch I Heard a Voice quite often.

[jdfilbrun]

That AFI sound still gives me goose bumps every time I hear these licks. Love your style Jade great leason🤙

[ryanbobadilla]

Jade is actually really good at teaching, I wonder why he doesn't do more videos like this? Either ways thanks Jade and Gibson.

[joshwilliams]

This man is Gibsons only hope of me paying full price for a Gibson anytime soon. What a legend.

[michaelluciano]

Saw AFI on their summer tour 2006. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

[neszero]

It’s only now just dawning on me how much Jade’s playing has influenced my own through all those hours listening to AFI as a kid. Really cool of him to do this and very fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
