i was wondering about the guitar. i figured it was ungodly expensive. here's a saying i just made up: a guitar only looks as good as its pickup covers.
6 grand for what looks like a Gretsch copy?? I just checked Reverb and there's an original 1955 Duo Jet on there that's actually cheaper! This kind of price is ridiculous...
That's a pretty bold statement. Lolz. I've heard quite a few guitarists compare julian to allan holdsworth, which I dont get at all. I mean, even holdsworth's early stuff like velvet of darkness where he plays solo guitar on a few cuts, I don't hear the similarities. Maybe my ear isn't trained enough perhaps.
@@Kanendd I took this comparison as a comparison of ability. The argument for Holdsworth, I suppose, was that he was his career was dedicated to forging new ground. Then again I find Holdsworth a difficult(yet rewarding) listen, whereas I could listen and learn from Julian ALL DAY!
The catch is that he isn't 'of' this generation, so he won't achieve the recognition he deserves. Still - transcribing Lage is a college degree in nuanced guitar playing.
Stellar playing and interpretation. I love the way in which all Julian's covers are at once respectful to the material in original form and highly personal.
You transcend musical norms, not for effect, but because it serves your musical needs. Because of this you are a single voice in a world full of extant musical formulae and predictability. Bravo!
As said earlier in the comments Julian Lage is THE jazz guitar improviser of our time. Also, moving towards solidbody guitars was a clever choice defining his sound. The particular guitar seems to take JL's artistry up a notch.
Julian flexing on us with a sig guitar we could never afford and musicianship we'll never have. I'm all for it

whats the price? I can't find it on the callings website
@@cantseehimliam7211 I can’t find it either, which usually isn’t a good sign. The acoustic one that JL made with Collings is around 5,000, so...
@@andrewkashian3987 $6,600. The Ron Ellis pick-ups alone cost around $1,000.

The best guitarist of our generation! Hands down!
Any genre!! Anything... this man has the God given talent!
True

3:42 - When I grow up, I want to be in that band that's inside Julian's head
Great comment! Definitely a little orchestra running around in there...
Best comment ever. Totally right!
The bend he does at 1:19ish is awesome. That guitar has so much resonance and volume that he pulled of 3 or 4 bends off one pluck. Amazing
I laughed out loud when he did that. It was like seeing a magician pull an elephant out of his tear duct.
He didn’t invent that. That’s not too common of a thing but it’s been done by John McLaughlin before a few times. I’ve heard John Mayer do that too
I'd start it at 1:03 just to put it in extended, glorious context. But yes I goggled at that, myself.
That thing at 1:19... pure magic. That is the sound that magic makes when it happens.
Stellar playing and interpretation. I love the way in which all Julian's covers are at once respectful to the material in original form and highly personal.
insightful comment
The first standard I learned and played in public. I will never forget the thrill of playing this tune for the first time.
That guitar sounds like it’s happy being played like that. Amazing.
There's such joy in his playing

There's so much nuance to what you wrote. Spot on.
So wonderful I listened to it 2 times in a row.
Love it. Caught this after a hard shift of sad hospital work. Thanks for lighting up my evening Julian!
I hope the new guitar means theres a steady stream of tunes headed our way!
Love this tune! So happy to see you tackle some bebop classics in make it your own.

I used to do the Grant Green version with my trio, but this is beyond! Saw him live once, inspires all night!
la madre que me trajo Julian....
That smile at 4:25 : "Yeah, you saw that right." 😉
He's got the music in him. We dip from the pool that he swims in.
Very cool! A new twist and turn at every moment!!
Inspiring as always! Thanks for taking the guitar to different realms of music.
Julián this is so inspiring , i think youre justo like great wines getting better with time
Wonderful Guitarist !
I really hope Julian and Chris Thile do a project together - that would be amaaaazing!
They're one degree of separation away, right? Chris Eldridge has some amazing stuff with Julian, too.
