I do like his use of space. Shredders these days seem to feel like "good" means filling the space with as many notes as possible. Julian Lage is a more dynamic player than that and I appreciate it. That being said, hyperbole like "most fascinating and skilled of our time" feels like an overreach. There are so many incredible guitar players out there and comparing players of different styles is impossible
Yeah, for me he is. On top of his incredible dynamics and sound, as if that’s not incredible enough, he’s doing things harmonically that are Bill Evans-level mind blowing. And he does it effortlessly. I hate him. Lol! Seriously, this kid is a once-in-a-generation talent.
Him and Blake Mills are my top players. Blake’s playing is always totally out of the box playing. Julian has more jazz chops and is very tasteful just like Blake
Everytime i watch some of his videos i'm like hypnotized, not only he has a fantastic technique but he is so crative and what a taste man.... I have no more words. Ps. Roland Jazz Chorus will never die.
For me it was just like... INSTANTANEOUS. I had no idea that stuff was in 'em. I don't think HE did, either! I just found this stuff.. 0:20, 3:20, 4:40. Goddam. It's like he just opens up the channel. IT'S FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY THAT. He doesn't flub the stuff, RUN IT at half-speed IT'S CLEAR HE'S _IMPROVISING._ He went to the Ali Akbar School in SF, and he's a MASTER at losing the "One", finding it, relocating it, bringing it back. I wish McLaughlin was twenty years younger; but still. There's been a definite movement among the hotshots to TEAM UP. J. Herring (hint~hint~hint)? I'm facile enough to _hear_ Lage is using numeric patterns. He's drifting into tens, then sixes, nine note groupings, twelve, just then... some connecting bits. But it's still impossible. WHY DOESNT HE FLUB?!? Oz Noy does that grouping stuff, tempting to say it's an Eric Johnson influence, but they come to it as... musicians, working the same IDEAS. This fellow doesn't need to cop licks. I think he already HAS a few....
Agree absolutely stunning. Got to talk to him recently. He practices improvising counterpoint. He clearly has some practice secrets that work! Everything he does blows my mind.
It never ceases to amaze me that fifty years later after all the advances in materials and electronics that the go to guitar for more and more players is the tele ,
That's a 65 reissue with the ashtray hardtail as well. Should have one modern 4 position switch on there, but other than that and the tuners, should be as close to a mid 60s tele a sound as you can have. Perhaps mass production is the wrong answer for guitar making.
This is the the result of being a child prodigy. The guitar has been with him since around 7 years of age. It's impossible to be this good without discipline and years studying. He's phenomenal.
@@guitargod6997 what a snobby remark. he thinks it's phenomenal. who cares if you don't. besides Julian is indeed phenomenal. If you can do better with your snobby attitude, show us.
@@guitargod6997World class musicians adore Julian's playing and are full of praise for him. He's beyond competent. Also you used quotes for a phrase the person you are replying to didn't use.
Wonderful playing from Julian who I think is one of the greatest players around at the moment. I wish I could feel as relaxed as he looks. He seems to surprise himself sometimes by what he has just played. Did I really play that ?.
Everything he does is amazing, but what really got me this time is the tempo of the main part of this. In my experience, playing and listening, keeping something like that even and giving the illusion of a trio is next to impossible. Listen to other great guitarists, or even pianists, and I doubt if you’ll find anyone who can equal it.
That's stunningly good, both in terms of technique and tone. I notice that he is frequently using pick and fingers. I have rather a lot of practice ahead of me. :-)
I have tried to like him because of his obvious talent and find him tasteless and hate the scofield affectations. But this is really great. His talent comes through and he keeps the bass and textures going and is still unconventional. Gets a great sound with a tele even though the video is shot on a phone which distorts it.
Leo developed this guitar as a workhorse for working country guitarists and after all the development of guitars since the early fifties this is still the go to for many top artists ,even under a different maker it’s still the humble tele ,
@@ShaneSiwat It sounds like the JC. A much underestimated amp. I borrowed one from a music shop once. I held on to it for a rather long time. When I took it back they said " Oh, we'd forgotten about that". Jeez.
In addition to Lage's immense skill and talent, I appreciate that he doesn't use the standard no-treble tone-setting that most jazz guitarists use. I assume that that standard tone originated to solve a technical problem of 1940s/50s electric guitar rigs, e.g., buzzing, feedback, or the like. But then unfortunately it became the standard tone used by almost all electric jazz guitarists, with a few exceptions (Bill Frisell, Pat Methany, and Julian Lage).

Currently the most fascinating and skilled guitarist of our time
Not really, but he is good

So sick & beautiful !! THX Julian !!
He has always been an excellent player but in the last couple of years his creativity has really reached a new level. Wow.
The old Roland Jazz Chorus amps! the best clean tone. Amazing playing too!
Not an old one - a Roland Jaz Chorus 40 - his playing is just fantastic.
It is a JC 120
Everytime i watch some of his videos i'm like hypnotized, not only he has a fantastic technique but he is so crative and what a taste man....
I have no more words.
Ps. Roland Jazz Chorus will never die.
You cannot go wrong with a Roland jazz chorus! Sounds amazing
Or a Tele. Leo got it right the first time❤
i'm so happy now he uses tele
Really? I like the Manzer a lot better. I guess it is a matter of taste. It still sounds good to me though

agree, it is a great sounding one, I think a '52.....but he make all his instruments sound great.
Outstanding arrangement of this song. Maybe the best I've ever heard....and I've heard a lot of them.
4:42 on just dropping knowledge. Unreal
brilliant... as always!
He is amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
I love the inclusion of "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" around 2:50.
Really shows that he knows his stuff.
glorious playing
Wow i am just in awe of him!!!
this man is amazing.
Unreal. Total command of the instrument. Télé no less.
Simply masterful and musical!

There's nothing you can't do on a Tele

Actually, it is just good jazz guitar solo playing. Not "other worldly" - just competence on the instrument. Quite lovely.

0:32 - 0:43 is probably one of my favorite music moments ever
6ths and 7ths
Lovely playing and dig the JC 120 super clean...still use mine after 35 years👌
This is awesome to listen to and it feels so great to play it!
Beautiful guitarist. ❤️

Que decir... no tengo palabras
He keeps looking up as though he's handing someone flowers.
He’s just checking if God is still smiling
The arrangement is on the ceiling, is scrolled in a screen .... :)

Talent is a wonderful thing!
Simply wow!
respect to a great artist...beautiful rendition of a superclassic standard...big big big master!!!
watch jimmy rosenberg and then get back to me !!
@@bernarddover1442 Lage is better
this guy is special
Julian Lage is the greatest living guitar player.

Ben Dover If he didn’t get mixed with drugs, that’s is.
thank you for your cozy sounds.•*¨*•.¸¸♬
so much flow from whatever note to whatever note
Saw him at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. Excellent concert.
Not only a very, very good player, but has a bit of the showman in him.

He is a genius
Thank you for uploading. Love it. Do you have more :)
Another great player
That's stunningly good, both in terms of technique and tone. I notice that he is frequently using pick and fingers. I have rather a lot of practice ahead of me. :-)

Same for me. Ted Greene did this style with the taste of Bill Evans
AMAZING
Bravo, Julian!
wonderful
Amazing
He is painting these phrases!
Glorious
grande chitarrista e non solo
Brilliant
Meraviglioso
Great!!
Julians so far ahead of everyone else in terms of vision technical prowess imagination- its just scary
excellent
Astonishing
Truly lives the song every time. Reminds me of Keith Jarrett in that way.
A modern master
The mozart of jazz guitar
RIGHT THATS IT.........i m off to practice
LOL we all are
😍
Great!guitarist!
WOW!
The Tele is the guitarist's guitar
Leo developed this guitar as a workhorse for working country guitarists and after all the development of guitars since the early fifties this is still the go to for many top artists ,even under a different maker it’s still the humble tele ,
Straordinario
wow...
I’m glad he’s good
Whoa.
❤️❤️❤️
homem é monstro
unreal
Ted Green would love him.
Is he going into the Jazz Chorus?
No. He use Fender on main stage
Jazz chorus for artist workshop
On main stage

So, yes, he's going into the Jazz Chorus.
@@ShaneSiwat It sounds like the JC. A much underestimated amp. I borrowed one from a music shop once. I held on to it for a rather long time. When I took it back they said " Oh, we'd forgotten about that". Jeez.
Is this a song or just improvisation? Very nice
What brand and model of amplifier are using Julian? 🧐 Thank you.
Are we hearing the Jazz Chorus?
Same question!
Also wondering this
Is that really telecaster sounds? Its so lovely
Dokwan Lee Just like that, and sometimes even better.
nice!
Excellent, where was this, Thailand?
Yeah , He played in TIJC jazz fest, Thailand.
