![10 GUITARISTS SOLO OVER THE SAME TRACK! [2023]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8Bt3RYy6Y-Y/mqdefault.jpg)
unbelievable. Julian is amazing.
he seems so humble and kind
When julian smiles and makes little noises while he plays, you know he's in his happy place. A national treasure, as is Paul for sharing this content.
adorable really.
yes! this! reminds me of Glenn Gould's hummings and mumblings over his piano playing
I literally can't listen to him for this reason.
@@Beardyoldsalt You have gotta be kidding.... it's one of the best parts! Lots of jazz musicians do it, too.
@@coma13794 Like nails on a chalkboard. I do enjoy his playing.
Julian seems to be the sweetest person in the world
Julian is a massive influence. Next level player. I stood in front of him (and filmed) at the namm show at the Collings booth and it’s still some of the best guitar playing I’ve ever heard. And he’s a super nice guy too, as you know.
julian always seems like the absolute kindest, most genuine soul ever. next level player and so down to earth.
FINALLLLLLLLY, between you and Mr Beato, it's great to see Julian getting the recognition. He's from another planet.
He had a documentary made about him when he was 8, feels like he’s been getting a lot of recognition for most of his life
@@doyourbest999 I feel like there's a lot of material from when he burst onto the stage as a child prodigy....not so much in recent years, despite his incredible studio and live work.
Well he certainly is a *universe-class* guitar player. No doubt about that!
Saw this dude live in Hamburg three months ago. Flew from Greece just for the show. I didn't regret it, best guitar player I've ever seen perform live
I was amazed hearing Julian at Newport Jazz eighteen years ago. I knew he was and is special.
Sees new paul davids video notification leaves the current video and starts Paul's video
Same hehe
Exactly 😂
How do you say “things that are always done” without saying “things that are always done “
I also done that and then left half way through
Yeah, automatically. I was like where did this come from
You asked for favorite improvisation I've witnessed. Around 1984 at Ft Bragg {Liberty}/Fayetville NC, I'm in the Army barracks and someone mentions that Robin Trower is playing at the pool bar called the Flaming Mug downtown. I grab my keys and drive in a straight line to the bar, order a beer, find the stage, examine the pedals to guess which one is Robin Trower and post up at the stage edge three feet in front of that spot. I guessed correctly. The show begins, people don't know him so they keep shooting pool. Only about 8 of us who knew his legendary status are huddled together {behind me} and I watched every note. Robin rolls his eyes back into the top of his skull and just lets go when he solos. It is spiritual, psychedelic, hypnotic and mesmerizing to watch his fingers go while he leans back wrinkled, frail like he might collapse at any second but magic is coming out of the amp. He played the whole Bridge of Sighs album. Too Rolling Stoned was unforgettable.
As someone fortunate enough to have seen Robin Trower live myself, I must say that would have been incredible.
Julian Lage has stunning breadth and depth in his playing. He plays with his jazz trio, in a traditional music duo with Chris Eldritch (Critter), and blindingly broad suite of projects with other players - including with his wife, Margaret Glaspy. He writes songs that hold beautiful melodies. Quite simply, he is a remarkable player. Every guitar player knows this. I don't understand why he is not the household name he deserves to be. And, Paul, he has been leaving me speechless for years. Cheers, all.
I’m always blown away by how humble Julian is, what an incredible gift of a human being.
Julian really is a generational talent. His sense of dynamics and phrasing is unmatched
Julian is the oddest combination of unreasonably humble and unbearably skilled. I'm blown away by his playing, but even more so by how uncomfortable he seems to be with the praise he rightly deserves. We're unbelievably lucky live during his lifetime.
It's not just that his playing is so complete and tasteful, his smiling while doing what he does is embodiyng everything I love about music. Great vid, thanks for sharing!
Its like the dude sees the neck in a completely different way than any other guitar player. Like his brain just approaches the way all of the notes are laid it, it reminds me of a many playing six pianos at once.
I raise you Holdsworth. He actually WAS unique in his approach. FWIW I would rather listen to Lage, because the relative simplicity is much easier on my ear.
It's incredible that he can take all of his improvisation and still sit inside of a chord shape to play the "accompaniment" chords and bass notes.
Oh man, this man is amazing. You can really see how much he loves music. Just those smiles can tell a lot. He is really into what he does. And that's why he is so good. Very inspiring. Thanks Paul.
Julian plays with such JOY! You can see it in his face and it flows through his playing. I can’t help but smile whenever I listen to him. Thank you for sharing this! 🙏🏻
Julian playing is nothing short of phenomenal. Learning his songs taught me so much.
He‘s my favorite guitarist, just incredible. Saw him live in Hamburg this year… He‘s also just an incredibly nice guy.
His playing unfolds like a conversation, with unexpected directions, conflicts, and resolution. It is magical to hear live.
He is truly one of a kind. Both as a person and a musician. The best.
Thanks for having the tabs on the screen as he was playing! I could understand what he was doing a lot better, and enjoyed it a lot more as a result. Crazy nice playing.
I had the privilege of "running" sound for Julian years ago for one night at a theater in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I say "running" because it was very minimal sound reinforcement. It was a great night. Left a lasting musical impression and such a nice guy.
Saw the JL trio recently at the Vancouver Jazz Festival. They had the entire theatre in a state of blissful wonder. Their music is incredibly technical yet completely approachable and fun. Bravo gentlemen.
Same! I've been completely captivated by him. His expression and touch -- otherworldly. And I learned Day and Age first, too!
So excited for the Julian interview. Julian is absolutely it.
No way you post this video right now... I've been obsessing over this song for the past 2 weeks trying to learn how to play it. Part of me is excited that I'm making progress. The other part is depressed that I'll never sound like Julian lol
Stay on it brother. Dream big. Aim high. Your muse will help. Abandon doubt. Find that happy place. We are all behind your reaching.
I’ve had the great pleasure of seeing Julian play live three times. Twice solo and once in his trio. A beautiful and singular performer. If you get the chance, you absolutely must see him.
Best improvisation I've seen : Julian Lage in Paris. I almost exclusively go to metal shows but he is, by far, the best guitarist I've seen in my life.
I saw Julian play in Raleigh (NC) earlier this year and it was surreal. He makes it all look so easy and more importantly, he looks like he's always having such a good time playing music.
Watching and listening to him makes me teary. The combination of mastery and beautiful persona is just scintillating.
The recording is astonishing too. You almost never hear this level of dynamics on RUclips
There isn’t another player who takes my breath away as often as Julian does.
Been a fan many years.. Julian has always struck a balance of unique imagination, sophistication yet aesthetic accessibility for me.. Art!
Julian is the GOAT no other way of looking at him
Julian is easily my favorite living guitarist, and what a gem of a person he seems to be, on top of it. His playing changed my understanding of electric guitars, after having played them for some thirty years. I accidentally saw Nels Cline 4 live here in Boise a few years ago and I will never be the same.
Julian is in a league of his own when it comes to improve and ideas that mixture of jazz fusion is brilliant
There is a masterclass with Julian when he still played an archtop out there that is extremely insightful. He talks about orchestration and how he gets his tone. Very very good.
Lage aesthetic sense for making music through a guitar is bliss for my ears, mind and soul ... each performance an opportunity to learn and get inspired by his crafmanshift ...
... a detail to love, when/where he seems to get surprised by his own outcomes as if he never expected that the impro would developed and ends like it was ... been really surprised by the adventure , and not by the impression of his playing in others ... to next, when others tells 'WOW' ... He said: Thanks, Really? ( as if he doesn't know why others enjoys what he loves to do ) ... Art and Wisdom as it best ...
Julian is one of the talented and inspiring artists alive today. Every single note he plays is just a glimpse of heaven.
Bravo!! Delighted to see that Julian's not a snob about using his left thumb on the fretboard. 👌
In early 2001 (I was 14 and so was Julian), my dad programmed our VHS recorder to autmatically record the Grammy Awards ceremony overnight, since we were 12 hours apart from LA where it took place.
In the morning, we were watching the show and there, Julian played in the prodigy section, along with other talented kids. That was a blast for me, and since then I started taking guitars more seriously.
I first heard Julian on mandolinist Dave Grisman’s Dawg CD and he was only 11 years old. I was blown away then, but I marvel at who he is now as a guitarist/musician. Thanks for sharing this Paul.
wow! one of many things i love about julian lage's playing is how he puts multiple genres into a melting pot and it still sounds cohesive and also personal to him. little quotes, musical winks and jokes, occasionally flashy just for the fun of it, then jaw droppingly beautiful phrasing and voicing. just a master.
I saw Julian in LA about 4 years ago. Totally minding blowing. Incredible technique but such musicality.
Man what a cool experience. I am seeing him and his trio live next week playing in a ultra small intimate venue and i have not been this excited about a seeing a musician or concert for a very long time.
Paul really knows how to pick em..Lange....wow...Youallknow Davids is a master...
I had the pleasure of seeing Julian at the Montreal Jazz Fest last week. Amazing show.
Saw Julian’s trio at The Barbican this year and it just knocked my socks off
Not merely a next level guitarist, but obviously a next level Human. (Or the level after that.) And Paul Davids Shines.
I do love that the internet has made me aware of soooooo many fantastic players. I can't say if there were this many incredible players when I was younger, or if I just wasn't aware of them because there was no internet (likely!). Thanks for sharing. Such fabulous playing.
this video and his playing, was a massive boost of positive energy for me today! Love it, thanks for this
Been to two of his concerts. An absolute joy to watch. You can tell that he loves and BREATHES music.
This is one of the first times I legitimately had goosebumps from a song. Can't wait to see the whole video!
This is the coolest thing ever. Can't wait for the full video!
I discovered Julian through one of your videos and went on my own deep dive for the past few years. Now as one of my favourite artists, it's nice that it comes full circle. Excellent stuff!
Can't wait for the whole interview! My guitar teacher introduced me to his work and since then I'm mesmerized.
It's funny that I look up to Paul as one of the best but he admits Julian Lange is in another league. Paul's just really humble.
Paul is just really Honest 😂😂 Julian isn’t of this earth.
@@cliffordjohnson5602 Okay, Julian is Abe Lincoln reincarnate then 😆
julian is one of the most wonderful guitarists, and seems to be a wonderful person too. Thank you for sharing this with us Paul. Any time I feel at a bit of a loss with my playing, I will listen to Julian. His music shows me there's an infinite number of ideas to pull from when playing, and when each one deserves their moment
Saw him in London a few months ago. Super nice guy, mind blowing control over the Tele, no fret noise, no slurring, perfection
absolutely the most surprising and captivating guitarists. period. 🤷♂️
Impressive 😮
Impressive transcription 😵
It's a real privilege to be alive at the same time as players of Lage's calibre.
This is perfect content. Julian has also been a huge part of why I play guitar, with "Day & Age" also having a massively special place in my heart. So so so cool to see you light up while he's playing and to see a snapshot of his mind up close.
And you’re right, that improvisation is serene
Just finished a session. Was gonna go to bed.... then this came on and now there is a guitar on my lap.
Julian isn't a savant, he is THE savant. No one had mastered the language of the guitar like him.
OMG! Such talent! Thanks for turning me onto him...
I had that exact same reaction first when I heard John Scofield play Ray Charles (all those songs that I know so well) and then later, thanks to RUclips, when I found Blake Mills. Those two just left me speechless and stayed on my mind for weeks.
ever since i heard nocturne for the first time, i knew this guy was an incredible musician right after the first few seconds. the sound he creates is just mind crushingly good. what a nice guy as well, had the honor of working with him in vienna once
Thank you for turning us on to great music, always!
Dude, I've been listening to Julian's music without even knowing how big of an influence he was on so many guitarists! This video from you really surprised me haha!
Awesome.
God Bless you!
True musicianship! I became aware of Julian maybe only a year ago and it's been one mesmerising rabbit hole...
Congratulation and thanks for this, Paul.
I can't wait to watch the full discussion you had with Julian!!!
You in awe of Julian? I get it, but WOW! I will stay in my current state of being in awe of both of you.
Never give up. Just as Juilian inspires, so does Paul Davids. Thanks for doing what you do.
The thing I love about Julian's playing is that he makes every note so rich and satisfying yet still finds the space to let every one of those notes breathe.
I've got this playing while I work and I swear, I just can't listen to this in the background. It is so beautiful and amazing I'm calling this a "break" and soaking it in. Thank you 😀
I saw him at SFJAZZ. His music is transcendent. This improvisation, though, is one of his best I've ever heard. Thanks so much for sharing his music, Paul!
Paul, the video you show at the beginning, with him playing with his trio, is possibly one of my all time favourites. I've been following him for years now, and love his playing. You never know for sure where he's going in a solo, which is fascinating to me as a player.
You know its good when you start contemplating scenes of your future life in technicolor midway through the playing. literally mesmerizing. Incredible.
Sublime. Taking the phrase "next level" to the next level.
Thank you for this one... Julian is the modern Mozart on guitar. There's a lot of talent out there, but Julian is a timeless master of guitar.
Absolutely love Julian.
By *far* my favourite guitarist.
Wonderful! Thank you Paul. A lot to gratefully pilfer with the chord naming. Not sure I can but worth the research and practice. Melodic and modern!
Nice one Paul! Julian"s playing is an absolute joy!
Pure class, Paul and Julian !
Everytime I see Julian Lage play, I absolutely believe he uses notes that I don't find in my guitar. The guy is a complete and absolute amazing player.
His playing can only be described as magic. Julian simultaneously makes me want to play and sell all of my guitars. 😆
I've always been impressed by Julian's playing, but I think I only know realize how much I should be learning from him
Julian is an amazing human being and one of the few guitarists who has mastered improvisational musical expression , my all time favourite guitar player is Ferenc Snetberger , an absolute gem of an artist , highly recommended.
That was beautiful.
Can’t wait for the full episode Julian doesn’t blow my mind he nourishes it! That was wonderful
Julian plays at the Halifax Jazz fest later this month and I CAN'T wait!
Qué buena improvisación. Gracias por la tablatura: ¡a practicarla!
wow that was wonderful what an artist Julian is
Tickets to see Julian in St. Louis this Fall. Can’t wait.
Crazy good! Out of the box, completely!
