Only thing stopping you is apathy. Most guitarists get stuck only learning the pentatonic minor because its just enough to get by and not learn any more. Learn theory and you can sound like him!

I heard a former Green Beret once say….”No matter where you are in life, you should be a f**king new guy at something.”

Been a fan and user of vintage mid-1980s Ibanez guitars but never have I purchased a new guitar - until yesterday, when I bought one of these AZ2204N guitars.

The perfect guitar for such an emotional great player! Fantastic + expressive + dynamic + fine perfect speed. Thank you Jack!

Your joy at playing this AZ is wonderful. You should be on commission - after watching the video I ordered one, I hope it gives me that same feeling! Great video, thank you, I really appreciated hearing it at 04:20 with the delay off. You have amazing skills!

I've bought an AZ last year (a Premium model), and I love it. Very versatile instrument, suuuuuuuuper comfortable neck, great trem system, Ibanez knocked it out of the park with this range of guitars.

I have the prestige Az too in Scarlett red. Absolutely love it! Love the dyna-mix 9 switching system; especially the function of being able to switch the single coil in the neck to a humbucker with a flick of a switch.

This video inspired me to get back into guitar and grind it out so I can maybe be 5% as good as Jack! I literally just bought the exact same Ibanez AZ2204B and a few of Jack's courses and presets. Thanks for the inspiration!

One of the better demos and reviews of this guitar, thanks and blessings for taking the time 🤙🏽

Congrats on the new guitar Jack! I've been able to buy one of the first AZ2204-ICM models and am still blown away by the quality, workmanship and overall "feelinggoodness" of the instrument. The japanese made AZ guitars are the best production model guitars of about any brand available right now, IMHO. Also, your playing gives me the chills everytime, even if you call it nonsense - the flawless delivery makes it something special anyways. Thanks for that, dude! :-)

Man you're playing...with the tone from that Ibanez...match made in heaven.

Sounds lovely. And I could listen to you play all day.

I have never been a fan of the sound of the Strandberg, except in your hands... And this Ibanez with his Neck Pickup offers you new horizons of inspiration!

Love your content!! You've really inspired me to practice as much as i do. You're one of the best guitarists i've seen on youtube, your playing style and technique is out of this world. I've learnt so much from your vids and i appreciate your content, keep up the awesome work man!!

The guitar is really a beauty and has wonderful tones. And you play really, really well, my friend! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Sounds amazing and of course your playing blows doors down. Definitely looking to pick one of these up!

Lovely playing and that guitar is exactly what I’m looking for, especially that blue one 😀

Awesome video man! I’ve had my eye on buying this guitar for a minute now. It’s so awesome to see how versatile this guitar is. Watching your videos inspire me. I just subbed 🎸🔥

Awesome as always, sounds really good that Ibanez, this video made my morning lml thanks

Jack.... sounds awesome.... i love the sound of this one and your old Suhr guitar!!!

I have the exact guitar and Absolutely Love it! Its the best guitar I have ever played. Pick ups are fantastic and the neck is smooth! Actually went to the shop to try out the new Fender Ultra and walked away with this, hands down more modern and for me, exciting to play. Enjoy!

"The WALL" AZ guitar. As always Tasty playing. Congrats Jack

You sound fantastic, Strandberg, Ibanez or Suhr, you make them all sing ... better than anyone else on KZread perhaps! Would love to see you with more guitars!

Awesome demo. Yeah I have the same model but in gold. They are pretty great. With the pickup selections and coil tap, you have got alot of time options. I play this in a Mark V combo and man theres alot of knob twiddling fun.

You sound so good it's unreal... Tone,picking,everything I spot on...

Fantastic guitar. Sounds wonderful, as your playing is a plus ! 🎼🎶👍

Amazing playing! Very inspiring!

Really great playing on that AZ!

Bro you should upload a video that’s just an hour of you playing random stuff with this guitar. No other instruments or anything just this guitar with various effects. I could listen to you play all day man

You have an amazing skill. I wish you good things!

I just came in to watch the guitar test video and I've been impressed with your performance since 6:23. It's dope..

Fantastic playing. Love this video. I got one of these last week and was stunned as to how compact it is. Slightly smaller than a regular Fender Strat and in keeping with the Ibanez 'small body 'tradition, but far less pointy LOL. The neck takes some getting used to and I mistook it for a 15 " radius because it is really FLAT ..but was surprised to note it starts off as a 9" and increases to a 12" radius up the neck. But after half hour my hands got used to it. And I'm still working out how many sounds can be found on it. Personally, I like the pickup options that incorporate the humbucker(s) since I play mostly jazz fusion or Blues. The other single coil choices show a considerable drop in volume. Thank you again!

Jack your playing is so ridiculous and crazy inspiring!

Very tasty playing and nice demo of the AZ :-) I've been thinking about the AZ Prestige too. I am/was just about ready to grab a Strandberg classic. I've tried a couple Strandberg's and love the neck and ergonomics, and the classic would be fun for doing pickup swaps and experiments. I've enjoyed listening to your tasty playing on your classic! Very tempted by the AZ but haven't had an opportunity to give one a proper try. ... might have to take the advise you gave in another comment below and get both :-) Thanks and Best wishes!

awesome guitar playing !

Sounds great! Keep it up :)

I recently traded my les Paul standard for this AZ and it was well worth it 🤩 Great review by the way 😊

Clicked for guitar, stayed for playing. Subscribed!

Jack you make anything sound amazing! Very cool guitar though. Deal breaker for me on these AZ's is the 42mm nut width. I favour a 43mm nut such as you'd find on a similar spec'd Charvel.

Sounds great. Ibanez made a clever move with that line. Ss frets etc.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT

Amazing Guitar👏🏻👌🏻🤘🏻😉

Owned an AZ224 for a little while. Ultimately it wasn't quite for me, but that neck is still the absolute best neck I've ever played. The craftsmanship, the profile, the roasted maple and the stainless steel frets just made it incredibly comfortable.

I'm itching for one of the AZ Ibanez's, but I can't justify getting it, other than "I love Ibanez". I'm still filled with regret that I didn't wait a few months more when getting my first Suhr. I just didn't expect Ibanez to make their version of Suhr! ;D This one would look even better with gold hardware!

Aaaaaah it has arrived! Nice :) the only thing I do not like is the little switch (I guess split coil switch?) otherwise that neck is beautiful. .. And nice save there playing your tune :P

Mann!!! from the intro I think a collab with Anomalie would be so dope!!!!

Let’s face it Jack, you could make any guitar sound awesome. Loving the Escapades snippets in there. Have you tried Tom Q’s Ibanez sig?

Finally someone who can actually play, does a guitar review. SUBBED

Beautiful guitar man, great playing as well. Looks a bit like the Andy timmons style ibanez and sounds like it too.

Nice playing 🥰🥰🥰

this guitar is versatile woah!

beautiful

killer guitar, killer playing

Please, make another video with all the different sounds of the AZ2204

Very good!.

I love my AZ!

I like Ibanez mid to high end stuff but I think it’s ironic that Paul Reed Smith makes John Mayer new signature Silver Sky Strat and the world temporarily goes mad but eventually loves it but Ibanez makes a Strat and everyone either doesn’t notice it or is in love. But I digress. Great guitar, great playing and sound.
