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.
Exposing the tricks of an illusionist of guitar, thanks. I was happy to hear that you learned some from Tuck as, he has been an inspiration to me for years. That brings this video a bit home for me. You have frequently run my battery down on my phone listening and unable to stop. You are very informative even when just playing. Hearing you speak is a learning bonus. Thanks again .
"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
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!)
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.
"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.
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!
Been studying JL for a few years now. Absolute genius, both in terms of playing and pedagogy. Would love to start a study group should other people be interested.
@@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
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
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.
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".
I improvise with his his recordings, and it expands my vocabulary, gives me countless new ideas for separated melodies, varied attack for dynamics, rhythmic changes. No I'm not that good, but it is very fulfilling. Children need to have conversations with adults now and then.
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!
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.
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.
What he talks about at 21:30 is very cool.. but to me in this scale derived voicings the idea of close voicing is quite arbitrary... almost any voicing can be considered close or open in this context...
... Oh, so, this just ends 😐 ... Well, THAT’s heartbreaking; I could’ve watched at least another hour 😳 lol Seriously **smh** Thanks for posting, regardless!
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.
Oh yeah! And he got a new guitar social app. He calls it PHFRETZ!
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!

"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"
"Just a really friendly dude who wants to play roots for you all day" :D
This changed my life. I'm a drummer and it's made me practice drums better. Thanks for sharing
9:57 "just settle for shit that your hands can do" LOL coming from one of the best jazz players of our time.
Genius. Gifted. He knows how to turn knowledge into gift
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。
Such a great musician and yet humble and generous
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...

Wow, maybe the best lesson I've ever seen.
This is how a great musician explains music through his own instrument in an incredible way
"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

I think Julian is an angel that wants to show us what is possible
whenever I'm in a funk on the fretboard, I come back to this video.

Dude... julian and the guitar are one thing. its impressive how the guitar is a natural object and a comfort place for his personality
This was actually really enlightening with some of his approaches to things. Well well worth the watch.
he took vague questions and wrote a solo jazz guitar bible out of them
Been studying JL for a few years now. Absolute genius, both in terms of playing and pedagogy. Would love to start a study group should other people be interested.
man julian always looks so content. i look up to him in so many ways
A true master and a brilliant student !
15:07 - I love that scale pattern!
What a perfect tone he has.
Fascinating ... loved the random scale playing ...beautiful.
He seems like the friendliest guitarist in music
Really some of the most insightful thinking on guitar playing I have heard in a while. Great ideas!
9:57 "You can just settle for shit that your hands can do"
Hahaha, well put, Julian.
素晴らしいシェアです
翻訳をありがとうございます♪
The Fred Rogers of guitar. I mean that with the highest praise.
"I'm here for you".. that says it all
Pure gold.
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"..
和訳ありがとうございます
字幕ありがとうございます！
何度も見るたびに感心してしまいますね。そしてギターに触りたくなります。
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😆
i can play couple of chords in first position and an Amaj scale, what am I doing here?
Same 😭😭😭
You're listening
playing any more chords since you posted this two years ago?
@@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
@@Mrfailstandstil that's awesome! I'm glad you've found something that brings you joy
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
I wish I understood his take on open and closed chords and the exercise he does....wow!
this is the best shit ever. Can't believe Julian is only 23 here. Back to the shed.
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.
I cant take my eyes of that guitar.It's a thing of beauty. The guitarist isnt bad either.😄
Julian Lage and his smile are kinesthetic curiosity
The always brilliant Julian Lage! Thanks for posting this video--what kind of guitar is he playing (who is the luthier)?
what a complex musical brain and ear. starting at an early age is huge.
What kind of guitar is that? Is that on electric strings or nylon?
Thank you!
nobody acoustic guitarist is better than him !! no fucking way !! this guy is pure pure genius on that instrument !!! the greatest !!
This is magic, thank you for posting this! What a wonderful lesson, this is so intense.
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
29:21 "I'm just moving my hand, I have no idea what I'm doing"
"The string wants to be played." Damn.
He mentions Tuck Andress... what a musician..
Amazing. And what a nice dude
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".
25:17 - he finally starts playing Wonderwall
Damn this dude is awesome and is having a blast.
Wonderful lecture...thank you for uploading Daisaku san

34:45 the _'Como Practicar Escalas'_ clip is cut out from here.
WHAT ABOUT THE LEFT HAND OH MY GOD WHY DID IT CUT OUT THEN!
I know. where's the restttttt
WE NEED MORE
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.
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!
Thx for sharing. and thx Julian.
If I was there and saw Julian playing the guitar I guess I’d give up becoming a musician.
The Zen if Guitar Playing.
Could anybody please transcribe what Julian plays over the F major scale from 35:06?
Thanks for posting, this is great.
Julian is a genius !!!
my god what a guitar player
No joke, I believe he's the best guitar player on the planet.
これ、素晴らしいですね！！！
35:09 It would be invincible if I could manipulate the scale so freely
“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.
Amazing. I only understand half of them though.
Thanks for posting ! :-)
"Fuck you string!"
MeticulousGuitarist when did he say that
41:07
MeticulousGuitarist
Well that's a chocker!
Damn I didn't know Ryan was so good at the guitar
omg the cameraman breathing through his mouth
what is going on at 15.09 after the G maj scale? I'm guessing an arpeggio scale thing... anybody know what it is? I want to practice scales that way.
same question!
OMG where is the latter part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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。
23???
Does anyone know what is the guitar model?
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.
He plays those great lines like it's simple. Lol
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
This is awesome. Had me emailing around for lessons by halfway through haha

my fingers are half his length....I still play and folks like what I do...but I wish I had the reach he has.
