thank you. I’m sitting here in a giant hospital in JAPAN, 69 years old, recovering from triple bypass open-heart surgery and thinking about how I would really like to get home and get back to practicing again after seeing this. I’ll dedicate a video of me playing Albeniz to you, Lucas. Thanks for all of the inspiration over the years. UPDATE: thank you so much to everyone who wrote such encouraging comments. This week I got back to work on my recording projects after I discovered the Zoom R4 digital recorder/interface. I will be launching my new TH-cam channel in the coming weeks.
Dude is from an other world. He improvised while playing the bass line which is in 5/4 time signature without any mistakes. And then he played the drum solo 'on the guitar' while still playing the bass line!
Lucas is the only guitarist I’ve ever seen who can play Take Five on guitar whilst faithfully retaining the rhythmic, harmonic and melodic flow of the wonderful Dave Brubeck Quartet recording. And I’ve seen ‘em all! Sheer brilliance.
What effs with my head in this kind of arrangement is when they have a rhythm pattern going, then start playing a melody OVER the rhythm… without altering the rhythm. Like at 0:06 in this piece… holy shit… 🤯😅
Lucas, I'm so happy to be seeing videos from you again. Your arrangements are always shockingly brilliant. Thank you for sharing your talent and hard work. 🙂
The Gene Wright bass underneath, Brubeck accompaniment, Desmond solo (and articulation, wow) and keeping it going with the Morello drum solo nod in the middle. Clever, creative, well done.
@@alexdelascasas thanks. I never looked it up, but Lucas wrote in the very first frames on the video. As I myself used to write music, I believe that credits to the composer is very important. Once again thanks for the correction.
Your talent combined with the dedication and discipline to your art is undeniable. It's an absolute joy and pleasure to watch your hard work on display.
Many comments I agreed with and liked, but it's you, with whom I agree the most. Yes. The combination of talent and dedication on display here is what takes the breath away.
He's one the best in the world, in my opinion. (Not that that counts for anything.) I wish Chet was still alive to grant Lucas a 'Certified Guitar Player' certificate.
That's what I'm talking about, high precision, crisp sound, incredible technicality, smooth transitions, dynamics, phrasing, EVERYTHING IS JUST PERFECT! Another Prodigious arrangement of yours my friend. Great work and huge respect 👏 Greetings from Georgia🇬🇪
You are one of the best TH-camr musicians out there, man. Love your videos. Always keep them coming! I’d love to hear an album from you someday. Your playing and arrangements are top notch.
The shock and awe I experienced prevents me from finding better words to describe what I've just had the pleasure to witness. Magnificent Lucas, and *Legendary* .
That’s one of my most favourite tunes. Thank you so much for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciate all your work. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!!
In a world of vain show and extravagant waste, what a rare thrill to listen to such a master player dedicated to excellence with an exquisite sense of humor and simplicity: just a few strings, an iconic jazz track and a hat! Thank you for offering us all that island of taste and pure music!
TH-cam have been presenting me with several solo versions of this tune lately, I like it, so I listen. This is by far the best, as I pretty much knew it would be before it even started. Another great one Lucas. Thanks.
Hey Guys! Hope you enjoy! Tab: www.patreon.com/posts/take-five-solo-97646229?Link&
It’s take more than the tabs to be able to play this 😅
Good to see you posting again maestro!
Thank you! Is the tab also available without patreon?
Yea right like tab is what we need to play it..
Will try to play it without tabs at first
Amazing arrangement ! Is that a double top guitar you have ?

I too was in a hospital bed watching this for the first time! In recovery now. Hope you are recovering too... This is phenomenal isn't it? ❤
Hope you get better soon and enjoy getting back to playing. X
I hope you have a quick recovery, and I’m very happy I could inspire you!! All the best ❤
i wish you a speedy recovery :)
Выздоравливай дружище! Поскорее!))
Dude is from an other world. He improvised while playing the bass line which is in 5/4 time signature without any mistakes. And then he played the drum solo 'on the guitar' while still playing the bass line!
Its not improvised i think. But off course never the less absolutely insane stuff
You're right. It's an excellent reproduction of Paul Desmond's original solo.
So wonderful what peoples can do. Take that a.i.
He's not improvising, but that does not mean that we he does...is incredibly insane!
he plays the trumpet solo not an improv, this is nonetheless incredibely impressive
Harmony ✔️
Melody ✔️
Bass ✔️
Joe Morello drums solo at guitar ✔️ 👀
Thanks for this great piece!
Lucas is the only guitarist I’ve ever seen who can play Take Five on guitar whilst faithfully retaining the rhythmic, harmonic and melodic flow of the wonderful Dave Brubeck Quartet recording. And I’ve seen ‘em all! Sheer brilliance.
Maybe I am wrong, but I thought the original was by Paul Desmond.
@@hl4468 Paul Desmond was part of the quartet, he is the composer of this one though.
psssss.... what are you saying... Naudo Rodriguez is the daddy of fingerstyle.... check him out... th-cam.com/video/FyRMKrQxCP0/w-d-xo.html
@@silphv Thanks for the info!
@@hl4468 np I had just looked it up, I didn't actually know a lot about this song before
As a guitarist myself, this performance tied my brain in knots! Incredible arrangement AND performance! Thank you!
What effs with my head in this kind of arrangement is when they have a rhythm pattern going, then start playing a melody OVER the rhythm… without altering the rhythm. Like at 0:06 in this piece… holy shit… 🤯😅
When technique and musicality do not come at the expense of soul. This is the most beautiful performance I have heard of this piece.
I agree 👍
With all that business, he played it slightly faster tempo as well.
Man im so glad to be alive xxtankfly
fuuucking hell Lucas, that's one of the hardest things you've uploaded. respect for arranging this mess and then playing it perfectly.
good heavens - you transcribed piano, sax, and drum solos - and then simultaneously played on guitar! praise.
Lucas, I'm so happy to be seeing videos from you again. Your arrangements are always shockingly brilliant. Thank you for sharing your talent and hard work. 🙂
Thank you for listening!
D-Day is here, he posted 2 videos...
You mean lucky day?
La canción esta en re..D .
Never surrender!
SCARY, isn't it? I hope it's not terminal.
A legend like this can upload whenever he fucking wants. \s
Insane level of articulation, clarity of all voices, musicality. Hats off!
Hats off? Never.
My favourite jazz standard of all time, played to perfection? Yes please.
I'm in awe.
The Desmond solo, and then the Morello solo!? Such a fun listen. Thanks, Lucas!
This is so smooth. Finally someone did this classic justice.
Yes indeed, a truly worthy interpretation.
From Brubeck to Metallica, your playing is absolutely mesmerizing. Thank you for posting.
What a wonderful way to start my day. Coffee, Jackie the cat on my lap and a fantastic rendition of Take Five.
This is INSANE, the original solo almost note for note AND the drum solo. FANTASTIC playing.
Damn. The percussion! I'm in awe!
The Gene Wright bass underneath, Brubeck accompaniment, Desmond solo (and articulation, wow) and keeping it going with the Morello drum solo nod in the middle. Clever, creative, well done.
This is another level of genius. I can't imagine the tons of work and talent needed to achieve this masterpiece so easily, huge thanks !
I'm impressed by your playing style more than by anyone else.
Much love from Kyiv.
Brilliantly arranged and played! I love Brubeck's 5/4 Take Five.
It's actually paul desmond (brubeck's sax player) that wrote it
@@alexdelascasas thanks. I never looked it up, but Lucas wrote in the very first frames on the video. As I myself used to write music, I believe that credits to the composer is very important. Once again thanks for the correction.
@@KajVardinghus cringe
This is when you really love a musical piece! I can tell right away .
Dude. That was out of this world... I couldn't imagine this being played with only 1 guitar but you did it
I think you have jumped up and reached another level. Good to see that excellent players do keep progressing
Your talent combined with the dedication and discipline to your art is undeniable. It's an absolute joy and pleasure to watch your hard work on display.
I appreciate that❤
Many comments I agreed with and liked, but it's you, with whom I agree the most. Yes. The combination of talent and dedication on display here is what takes the breath away.
Bravo
That's overwhelming! Sounds like whole Brubeck's quartet playing right in front of you. Great!
@T_ELEG_RAM_official_Lucas_brar bring it on
Simply amazing! Please, more of this Lucas.
What a versatile player, your version is so rich in variety!
Brilliant. Love the Tommy Emmanuel style percussion.
That was amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
That was absolutely brilliant as usual. Thank you!
The record that introduced me to Jazz and changed my life. Excellent arrangement Thanks. i could listen to you all night .

Man you are CRAZY good at this. You rly have a shot at the GOAT discussion.
Of the guit players I have heard, Dude, you are easily one of my all-time favs. Just Wow!
He's one the best in the world, in my opinion. (Not that that counts for anything.) I wish Chet was still alive to grant Lucas a 'Certified Guitar Player' certificate.
@@7137271 I agree 100%. Take care amigo!
I stood in awe, with my mouth open for 3 minutes. Amazing work! Out of this world
Lucas, perfect! Nothing more to add!!
NO WAY!!! I’ve been working on a version of this for a couple of weeks now! This was fantastic, nice job!
That's what I'm talking about, high precision, crisp sound, incredible technicality, smooth transitions, dynamics, phrasing, EVERYTHING IS JUST PERFECT! Another Prodigious arrangement of yours my friend.
Great work and huge respect 👏

I absolutely love this.
Nailed it. Love the percussive strumming as well. Impressive.

In a world of vain show and extravagant waste, what a rare thrill to listen to such a master player dedicated to excellence with an exquisite sense of humor and simplicity: just a few strings, an iconic jazz track and a hat! Thank you for offering us all that island of taste and pure music!
This boggles the mind. Good grief, the skills and feels.
Gave me the big band feel from a soloist! Bravo!
I love this piece. It's always a pleasure to see a new artist's take on it.
Pure beauty and well-produced, perfect!
Nice… that tune never gets old, and it’s always refreshing to hear a well-played cover…
So cool! So accurate!
TH-cam have been presenting me with several solo versions of this tune lately, I like it, so I listen. This is by far the best, as I pretty much knew it would be before it even started. Another great one Lucas. Thanks.
This was amazing. I am totally speechless. I didn't blink for its entirety. So captivating and subtle. You, sir, are a hard working genius!
You sure this is just one guy and one guitar? Damn. So, full. ❤
outstanding solo arrangement and performance, different level stuff, bravo
This is just so good, absolutely unreal playing
Great as always, and TIL Desmond has sole writing credit for this. I had always assumed it was written as a group.
Continuously humbled by your playing, Lucas.
I really love these videos of you just playing, Lucas ❤❤🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely beautiful!
you transcribed his whole solo into a guitar arrangement pretty sick
Dude, when are you going on tour?
You have so much material and a solid fan base. Time to make it happen!
Way beyond awesome. I can't even play the basic melody over a loop - just unable to grasp the timing. Fantastic, thx.
Just utterly brilliant. Well done.
