I saw Scofield at a jazz club in LA a couple decades back and he left fusion to return to bebop with a fine trio. However when he came out and started the first tune he held his head way back and grimaced like he had pulled a groin muscle or came on to something. That was short lived though and he returned to normal playing chords and melodies together in some good tunes I hadn't heard before.
The music scene is cleary missing people like this guy. Musicians nowadays, regardless of genre, always seem so square and always taking themselves ultra seriously.
Actually, I do get the feeling, that quite a few talented jazz/metal/jazz metal musicians have a good sense of humour, but that it is us fans that take our favorite music and bands and players way to seriously. Having a good laugh does not mean that you don’t take your music seriously, do your best, try to break barriers and create something new. Sometimes people just fail to see the humour, because the music is too technical for our small minds to understand, I guess😃👍🏻🤘🏻
Something I heard in my lessons was "amateurs practice until they can do it right; professionals practice until they can't do it wrong". Seems to apply here.
J'adore! j'en pleure! Enfin un luthier guitariste qui a de l'humour ! et merci à CG d'avoir lancé un bon gros débat qui visiblement fait recette compte tenu des commentaires précédents :-))
Great stuff! There needs to be more humor in music. I'm a guy who plays both jazz and rock, but I can attest that I also have a healthy sense of humor!
Absolutely agree, I am not a good player, but I love guitar playing whatever the style. Currently I found a great peace trying to play jazz, bossa nova...and one thing is true at least to me, the chord progressions are really more complicated in jazz than in rock music, the harmony is beyond the progressions requires a lot of study. This point is not so important in rock with no clean sound...or even in blues. I found the jazzy finger style arrangements of rock and pop songs really clever and I love the sound of the new chords I must learn to play jazz. Anyway, I will queen playing rock,blues and jazz the rest of my life, depending of my mood condition I need one style or another.
Me too. Started with classical as a kid, played in rock bands (still do) then to improve my improvising took to jazz. I love it all & as you say 'why not ?'
Exactly. Who made a rule that like football you only support ONE style. Imagine if the great innovators, going back centuries, stuck to some 'rule' that stopped him/her from developing the music they heard in their mind. We'd still be banging sticks together. I say do/play whatever you enjoy.
+Mark Thuaux and It's very important to appreciate various music forms, as you I like classical, rock, blues, funk, pop, and a huge list. But know I'm studing modern music at the university and we only play jazz there, also fusion jazz and bossa nova, latin, and more types, is awesome to have the oportunity to study music! :)
Great video! I think the real difference is that jazz guitarists learn a lot of theory and a few techniques, whereas rock guitarists learn a lot of techniques and a little theory.
Jan Akkerman A Rock Guitarist A Jazz Guitarist A Classical Guitarist A Blues Guitarist A Funk Guitarist A "Lute" Guitarist and any other styles that you can think of. Simply the best
Jason Richardson is a famous metal guitarist and he plays with his guitar up that high. You can witness it in the Don't Ask Don't Tell by Chelsea Grin music video.
Performance is about ENTERTAINMENT, not Music.. The Emmanuel Brothers got that, ages ago..This is gold !! Full marks from Australia !! (Before I go DOWN)..
Bonjour J'ai une Godin XTSA mais je ne peux exploiter toutes ses possibilités car je n'ai pas le mode d'emploi en francais Comment utiliser correctement les vis de bloquages pour les cordes que l'on change (au niveau des mécanismes) Comment passer de l'éléctriique à l'accoustique ? En ce moment je joue comme si j'avais une simple guitare électrique en branchant le jack sur l'ampli guitare et c'est tout Merci d'avance...Jean louis
Leave it to somebody French to dismantle jazz guitar. Sure, make fun of jazz people, make fun of rock people, but I still love that music in the very depth of my soul. How should I feel about this video? I guess you just can't take it seriously right? Just kidding right? You'd better hope so or what's the point of even trying?
hey! this guy's voice and attitude remind me a lot Frank Zappa... Kudos!... I wonder if he is related to Godin guitars in some way... anyways, it was fun...
Laughed my ass off. So funny, great work Mr Godin for brining some laughter to the world. I can see the Jazz muso's commenting below, sound pissed off. Lol.
I love Rock music. But most (most, not all...) of rock guitarrists think, act and play like kids. Jazz is art. "tava mais bobo que banda de rock..." Zeca Balero.
E essa frase lixo desse m3rd4 chamado Zeca Balero eh legal ? A musica dele eh um lixo perto de qualquer banda de rock decente. Quem eh esse lixo pra criticar bandas de rock?
The funny thing about jazz,is that you never know if the guys really know how to play,or if they are doing that thing called jamming,which any idiot can do.-FRANK ZAPPA-
I've been to Schorndorf at this time. Christoph Godin is a true freak! As funny as this performance was, I preferred to go to Carl Verheyen's workshop.
Lots of rock musicians take the piss out of jazz , but never other niche genres like folk or country . You know why ? Because they can't do it and no-one in the jazz world cares about their egos or their 'shredding' millions of notes . You can just tell that this man has been at some point rejected by the jazz world and is still smarting from it .
One of the guitarists that impresses me is Jimmy Rosenberg who as a young Gypsy could play amazingly by the age of 10 technically and musically. He learned by listening and playing along. He was never taught any theory or music just like many of the other great musicians. No Clinics, no institutes ,no standard books, lesson etc. Just have a passion and let your character bring out the music on the instrument.
+and then i said And how many 'rock only' players would have the aural skills, let alone the musicianship drummed into them in their formative, learning years to recognise the quick phrase thrown in there, I bet on the fly. Well done for spotting it, I missed it !!
Mark Thuaux careful now! I've been known to think too much of myself haha I sometimes get a little obsessed with musicians quoting random pieces, feels like inside jokes hidden at plain "sight"... they're very fun to catch. It's particularly fun to see Bucky Pizzarelli troll his son John by quoting Satin Doll often when they play together. John himself gets a little trolly with Smoke on the Water and Stairway to Heaven. Guthrie Govan starts to play ringtones when he's frustrated and wants to get a laugh, problem is he is so awesome, sometimes people end up rocking out to the Nokia ringtone hahah
Voilà ce que j'apprécie chez ce grand Monsieur , l'humour ,ne pas ce prendre trop au sérieux ,tout en assurant , très bonne caricature en tout cas ,bravo Christophe \,,/
d'ailleurs le public sort ravi de ces show car plié en 2 !! ceux qui n'aiment pas ( souvent des moule-burnes 100%) n'ont qu'à passer leur chemin.. point barre ! LONGUE VIE A XTOPHE GODIN !!!
+zappainfrance peut-être vrai ;) mais pas à 100% , car je suis orienté très Hard-Heavy -Trash -Metal , (moule-burnes comme tu dit HAHAHAHAHA) , mais ça ne m'empêche pas d'apprécier ce grand Monsieur , bourré de talent et qui plus est , Marrant ,pas le melon ,ni peur du ridicule , cette vidéo ,je la regarde souvent ; )
Charlie Christian, Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel, Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Herb Ellis, Monnette Sudler, Tal Farlow. Django Reinhardt, George Benson. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Richie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend, Slash, Robert Fripp, Dave Gilmour. They all influenced me in some shape or form but there is a man in the middle of all that who I have not mentioned. Nile Rodgers. He couldn't hold a candle to Joe Pass but then who cares. He's old school and has style. That's what it's all about.

rock guitarists see Maj7, diminished chords, 13th chord, and will play that all in power chords.
What chord are you playing? Uhh 7
@@alexdattel2757 just play 2 5 1 in f#
or hybrid pick the adds in between chords.
"a jazz guitarist doesn't know how to use a bridge pickup"
hahaha
they do, but use it only when they tunes their guitar
Also: no palm muting. Never.
Wait. There's a BRIDGE pickup now? 🤯
Bald, that 'charismatic' face, seems like Devin Townsend rock guitarist tutorial to me, LOL :D
the face of kratos haha nice guitarist
Has anyone else even noticed he has an amazing singing voice and and that he can actually play the shit out of the guitar for real??
He's actually quite renowned in the french guitar community, and writes a column in the biggest guitar magazine in france
He can, but here to much talking..pff rather boring
Holy cow he just turned himself into John Scofield!
hhaahhaahhaa11 Best comment in this video. Hahaha.

9:12 Oh he tried so hard to play simple and sloppy, but couldn't
"Don't do anything too complicated"
*plays super complicatedly*
It's impossible to play sloppy when you are a talented musician.
Something I heard in my lessons was "amateurs practice until they can do it right; professionals practice until they can't do it wrong". Seems to apply here.
He now looks like a crossover between The Rock and James Hetfield.
Bahahaha... That was a good laugh man!!! Thank you!

This guy made me laugh! :D Take it in the spirit it's intended people!
That was great, I like people with real sense of humor. And mr Godin plays really well!
Jason Richardson is a famous metal guitarist and he plays with his guitar up that high. You can witness it in the Don't Ask Don't Tell by Chelsea Grin music video.
This guy kicks ass. I totally respect Jazz guitar, though.
Played with him in masterclass. Love this guy !
A very good change from the usual stuff that take itself seriously. Just having a bit of a smile...
There are no mistakes in jazz ! Classical guitarists are not allowed to make mistakes !
I couldn't get past minute 2:52 but I hope he mentioned the huge divide in understanding moving harmony
This shit cracked me up. 11 people take themselves too seriously.
Performance is about ENTERTAINMENT, not Music.. The Emmanuel Brothers got that, ages ago..This is gold !! Full marks from Australia !! (Before I go DOWN)..
"Wen you see someone playing a big guitar with a small amp, that's a jazz player....someone with a small guitar and a big amp, that's a rocker...."
Brilliant! Just have fun, man! Just like Godin in the video! :)
GREAT!! ESPECIALLY the ending! Bon Scott forever!!!

Rock guitar... just set the amp at 11*
Same went for John McLaughlin in the Mahavishnu Orchestra days.
They also had the worlds best drummer....
D minor for ballads, the saddest key
Reminds me a guy who worked in Veran Musique (a muusic shop in Annecy).
Christophe certainly know him XD
Very funny - Chris cuts it and shreds it with a bit of tweeedling on the side! Way kool!

Nope it's just his name... And he plays Vigier guitars

Not true.
When did he say this?
Don't ever bring false thing.
genious, great,,,,
though i prefer the blues,, but this represents those things

What no love for the whammy bar or wah peddle lol
And then........ There's Guthrie Govan
All you said is so true!
A great lesson.
He's so right. Image is not everything. Music is a hearing art.

He was never taught any theory or music just like many of the other great musicians.

Geez guys i'm a jazz guitarist, i love rock, and i'm laughing my ass off what is it that makes you people so angry?
This man plays jazz like a pro bro
Enjoy both, take the piss of both. Respect the best things about each genre and if you're so inclined, combine them with each other in your own music.
I lerned so much!
What do you throw to a drowning guitarist ? His/Her amplifier.

What a good fun!
Jordan Rudess' guitar-playing brother...
Fake.. he forgot the WAH pedal for rock guitarists xD
Where is Kirk Hammett at???
I did not smile when watching this video and I think there is nothing wrong with me.
Phantasyic !
Excellent! XD
absolut klasse, ich lieg vor lachen am boden.....
where can i get those wrist bands?
The biggest difference is that rock guitarist don't give a shit, jazz guitarist cry about being better than everyone who is not into jazz.
Oddly enough, he looks remarkably like Robin Zielhorst (bassist of Exivious)...
And it was an amazing rock solo also xD
Funniest part is at 11:38 when the drummer accidentally loses a stick :D
He left out the fact that you need a hollow body guitar of some sort. Gibson Byrdland, L-5 or other Gibson archtops made in the 50's and 60's. :D
Now remember Ted Nugent is the exception to the archtop rule for rock players. Don't know if he could play any jazz licks or not. :D
love it :)
Why is the drummer in the terrarium?
Hilarious! Nailed it.
