Julian has made me recognise that what I value most in a guitarist is improvisational skill. That’s why I love Guthrie Govan’s playing to the same degree.
Golden. For as much as i feel i learned here... that tells me theres also a bunch I haven’t caught yet. Full of gems! Many rewatches in order. Such a great guy!
Julian really exposes you to the heart of music. He brings to focus the real essence of what makes something musical when we all get caught up in technical details.
woah the part about chord tones blew my mind.... so he's just picking the 1 and one other chord tone and then just filling in the gaps with scale tones?? mad
"Been playing since I was 5... I'm 23 now." 😳😳😳 He's only 23 in this vid? His playing is lightyears ahead of some of the older and most seasoned jazz guitarists.
Daniel Tonga I would not think Mich about his age... it's great when prodigy kids grow to become a great mature artist... not always though. you can start at 20 and also be good
Having had private lessons and correspondence with such great guitarists as Kreisberg and Monder I can say that the kind of knowledge transmitted in this video resonates far deeper with me than all the "shedding" concepts about chords and scales transmitted in the usual masterclass... Julian tries to transmit his wisdom by not only enumerating the chord chops or scale licks he uses, but more importantly by connecting that information with the initial "problem" that generated his study routine regarding that particular musical aspect. I think that kind of analysis is what makes masterclasses or even private lessons really insightful...
8:22 When he says 'practice only the bass and the melody first...and then play them simultaneously...' and then gets so obviously flustered by the insane knowledge bouncing around inside his head... Yeah, this is good stuff.
I love the ideas at the end. Exploring music through "kinetic curiosity", in other words playing things that feel physically good to play. That's when you start smiling in the shed.
"Kinesthetic curiosity" maybe the most interesting approach to guitar playing I have heard in a long time. He reminds me of Mick Goodrick with a fresh perspective.
john march A teacher of mine, Stan Lassiter, called it “gesturing” about 25 years ago... It’s a great way to discover things the mind will not suggest.
Wow!!! What an amazing 43:34!!! Each anecdote in here is friggin' ridiculously valuable!! Thank you for posting this!!! (he swears more than I thought he would... Awesome!)
I'm... thank you ! (to the uploader, not sure Julian Lage waste his time here) Sad I didn't found this masterclass before, it's inspiring and so great to hear him explain his approach
... Oh, so, this just ends 😐 ... Well, THAT’s heartbreaking; I could’ve watched at least another hour 😳 lol Seriously **smh** Thanks for posting, regardless!
This is really great stuff. Almost like Zen for playing guitar. He finds a way how to simplify everything. Many guitar players often overcomplicate things like scales, voicings, picking, dynamics... like Mingus said, its easy to make simple things complicated, but it takes a genius to make complicated things simple!
@@TimothySharma ye, i play and sing, for family and friends, nothing special, it's like a hobby, i started very late in my 20-s so you know it's not like i will make something of myself in music but i love to play and sing
Instead of conventional and/or arbitrary chord to scale techniques; BEHOLD: The Lage 'Critical Thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX' Concepts - simple, BUT mind-blowing, in context, with his seemingly abstract but mightily logical practical notions.
Another version of Mr. Lage playing "Alone Together": th-cam.com/video/TIMWjpn6BGU/w-d-xo.html (seems like in Japan he did a cool Japanese-influenced intro.) Such great stuff in both versions.
if the publisher would like to translate this missing phrase, I believe what he meant to say in English was: "I don't mean that in a 'theory-al' way (I don't mean that in a way relating to theory); it's not, it's about your relationship with your feet on the ground and with the way your body is organized."
I think he was saying, "I don't mean that in an ethereal way", as in, he didn't mean it in a transcendental, abstract way but in a very concrete sense. If he meant relating to theory, it would be "theoretical".
Hadn't seen this episode of The Office.
Who knew ryan could play?
@@krazy8820 he didn't just start a fire
I think this every time I see him.

This is magic, thank you for posting this! What a wonderful lesson, this is so intense.
A true master and a brilliant student !
I think Julian is an angel that wants to show us what is possible
Thanks for posting ! :-)
素晴らしいギタリストです。このビデオをみて、より好きになりました。
素晴らしいシェアです
翻訳をありがとうございます♪
man julian always looks so content. i look up to him in so many ways
The Fred Rogers of guitar. I mean that with the highest praise.
Damn this dude is awesome and is having a blast.
Julian is a genius !!!
He seems like the friendliest guitarist in music
I wish I understood his take on open and closed chords and the exercise he does....wow!
15:07 - I love that scale pattern!
"I'm here for you".. that says it all
Thanks :)
Julian Lage and his smile are kinesthetic curiosity
I cant take my eyes of that guitar.It's a thing of beauty. The guitarist isnt bad either.😄
What a great guyyy.
this is the best shit ever. Can't believe Julian is only 23 here. Back to the shed.
Amazing. I only understand half of them though.
He mentions Tuck Andress... what a musician..
25:17 - he finally starts playing Wonderwall
The always brilliant Julian Lage! Thanks for posting this video--what kind of guitar is he playing (who is the luthier)?
What a pleasant man aw
If I was there and saw Julian playing the guitar I guess I’d give up becoming a musician.
The Zen if Guitar Playing.
Damn I didn't know Ryan was so good at the guitar
woah the part about chord tones blew my mind.... so he's just picking the 1 and one other chord tone and then just filling in the gaps with scale tones?? mad
35:09 It would be invincible if I could manipulate the scale so freely
he is so adorable
自由を手に入れた数少ないギタリスト
30:53
Does anyone know what is the guitar model?
Oh no, it ended! Do you have the hole lesson somewhere else?
I've thought the same for a long time I don't think they answer comments though
@@BurntMcgurnt It's a bummer because this is amazing stuff. This kind of insight is priceless and I'm really grateful to have seen even this much.
@@hearpalhere ya it is a great lesson he also has some short guitar world lessons too if ya haven't checked theose out
@@BurntMcgurnt Thanks! I'll take a look.
@@hearpalhere alright cool there's also a masterclass on here that's just audio too it's really good as well

絶対音感ないの意外すぎる
32:46 how to air guitar like pros do.
天才とはこういう人のことだな
"the first thing you play will lead you somewhere" 27:30

THANK YOU JULIAN
another nice quote: "harmony is a rested melody, stacekd ontop of each other"
30:44
"Just a really friendly dude who wants to play roots for you all day" :D
9:57 "just settle for shit that your hands can do" LOL coming from one of the best jazz players of our time.
"Been playing since I was 5... I'm 23 now." 😳😳😳
He's only 23 in this vid? His playing is lightyears ahead of some of the older and most seasoned jazz guitarists.
Ikr I want to know his practice routine soooo bad
fuck dude. im 23 now. i feel like a failure
Daniel Tonga I would not think Mich about his age... it's great when prodigy kids grow to become a great mature artist... not always though. you can start at 20 and also be good
Nick Merrick don't. years are nothing. just stick to your heart and feel.
Ryo Fukui started playing piano at 22 and 6 years later came up with Scenery, and he was also self-taught :D
What a beautiful, gentle spirit this guy has living inside him. Amazingly accomplished musician, too.
Reminds you of Joel Osteen
Bob Ross of the guitar.
LuckyLicks hahahaha that’s kinda true
LOL now you made him self-conscious.
He’s precious!

This changed my life. I'm a drummer and it's made me practice drums better. Thanks for sharing
8:22 When he says 'practice only the bass and the melody first...and then play them simultaneously...' and then gets so obviously flustered by the insane knowledge bouncing around inside his head...
Yeah, this is good stuff.
Genius. Gifted. He knows how to turn knowledge into gift
Wow, maybe the best lesson I've ever seen.
I love the ideas at the end. Exploring music through "kinetic curiosity", in other words playing things that feel physically good to play. That's when you start smiling in the shed.
This is how a great musician explains music through his own instrument in an incredible way
Really some of the most insightful thinking on guitar playing I have heard in a while. Great ideas!
whenever I'm in a funk on the fretboard, I come back to this video.

字幕ありがとうございます！あなたのおかげでJulian Lageが益々好きになりました😆
This was actually really enlightening with some of his approaches to things. Well well worth the watch.
Such a great musician and yet humble and generous
he took vague questions and wrote a solo jazz guitar bible out of them
This is great to be able to watch, Thank you! Julian's the best, I'm going to see him in Pittsburgh in May.
+Nick Kitson haha "Let us know when you get it together"..
Fascinating ... loved the random scale playing ...beautiful.
字幕ありがとうございます！

Wonderful lecture...thank you for uploading Daisaku san
Thx for sharing. and thx Julian.
I'm... thank you ! (to the uploader, not sure Julian Lage waste his time here) Sad I didn't found this masterclass before, it's inspiring and so great to hear him explain his approach
What a perfect tone he has.
Amazing. And what a nice dude
some very good exercises are here. l really liked the scales chords in voicing.. very effective if you can hear it in the open context
nobody acoustic guitarist is better than him !! no fucking way !! this guy is pure pure genius on that instrument !!! the greatest !!
what a complex musical brain and ear. starting at an early age is huge.
これ、素晴らしいですね！！！
Amazing
"The string wants to be played." Damn.
What a gift, this vid
29:21 "I'm just moving my hand, I have no idea what I'm doing"
This is awesome. Had me emailing around for lessons by halfway through haha

No joke, I believe he's the best guitar player on the planet.

字幕ありがとうございますm(_ _)m そして長文駄文お許しをm(_ _)m m(_ _)m
メセニーの話のところ非常に共感します。私はジュリアンより一回り以上年齢が上ですが（泣）彼の演奏に心酔した理由がまさにこれ。
私は若い頃とある日本人ギタリスト（ジャズ界隈では有名）の方のプライベートレッスンを受けていました。その方ははメセニー、ジョンスコその辺りが好きな方でしたが、彼らのような基本ホーンライクなものが好みで、それ以外の、例えばブルーグラス、カントリー的な開放弦を多用するような弾き方は「かっこよくないからやめろ」と言われた事があり、とにかくそれに納得できなかった。つまりビル・フリゼールには批判的（笑）ジプシージャズもあまり好まない。
アーティキュレーション、タイミング、アクセント、グルーブ等ジャズの基本的「形」を学ぶ上でホーンライクなフレーズは非常に有用で、それはそれで良いと思います。但しそれだけで弾くのであればギターじゃなくても良いですよね（笑）
シンプルだから、というのとは外れますが、ギターだからこそできる事をウェインクランツ、ジョナサンクライスバーグなどはしているし、また上述のジプシージャズのカリスマビレリ・ラグレーンや盟友シルヴァンリュック、そして彼に影響を受けたフランスの若い世代も開放弦を多用します。それでメロディックな組み立てができないわけじゃない。むしろジュリアンは誰よりもメロディアスで音楽的。
日本のジャズシーンにこういったクリエイティビティを持ったカリスマ的ギタリストが生まれてくると良いですね。
僕はギターの凄い人を追い掛けてロックからブルース、ファンク、更にフュージョン、そしてジャズ、そこからブルーグラス、カントリーへとジャンルなんか御構い無しに様々なギタリストを探してきました。
ブルーグラス、カントリーでは開放弦は当たり前の様に使いますよね（笑）僕もあなたの意見に賛同します。ギターに元々備わってるポテンシャルを何故否定する必要がありますか。
偉大なギタリスト達はそれぞれに魅力的な個性があります。そこにジャンルの差などありません。代表的なところでチェット・アトキンスは専らカントリー系と言われますが彼のソロはジャズ的な観点から見ても非常に面白いと思いますし、ブレント・メイソンに至ってはジャズでは中々聞かない様なフレージングをインプロヴァイズします。また、アルバート・リーのディレイ的なフレーズやダニー・ガットンの脅威の2声攻めソロ。このジュリアン・ラージの様に様々なエッセンスを柔軟に取り入れる事がギターという手軽な楽器の持ち味を最大限に活かす方法の一つだと思います。
シルヴァン・リュック、僕も好きです。ジム・ホール、エド・ビッカートの系譜を紡ぐかの様なあのヴォイシングには唸らされます。
“I’ll remember Jobim” 🙂
Another version of Mr. Lage playing "Alone Together": th-cam.com/video/TIMWjpn6BGU/w-d-xo.html (seems like in Japan he did a cool Japanese-influenced intro.) Such great stuff in both versions.
Ah, Tuck Andress...used to play with partner Patti in downtown Palo Alto.
Explains it all really. I mean can you even imagine learning from Tuck? That was the thing that hit me the most.
if the publisher would like to translate this missing phrase, I believe what he meant to say in English was:
"I don't mean that in a 'theory-al' way (I don't mean that in a way relating to theory); it's not, it's about your relationship with your feet on the ground and with the way your body is organized."
Denny Frayne that’s it, thanks a lot for your sharing!
I think he was saying, "I don't mean that in an ethereal way", as in, he didn't mean it in a transcendental, abstract way but in a very concrete sense. If he meant relating to theory, it would be "theoretical".
thaks for the up man. where and when this was recorded please
omg the cameraman breathing through his mouth
