    This is 8 minutes and 23 seconds of the finest guitar playing I've ever heard/seen. Flawless.

      Oh, stop you, genius and famous guitarists! For common people this intro was a bit too incomprehensible. so i could only agree with a good half of your statement. to be precisely, only about 5 minutes should be sculptured in rushmore.

      Was there with my wife as well. Julian and the band were so damn good. And that venue! Got tickets late, so we were in the very back, but it didn't matter. It still sounded like we were wearing headphones, and could hear every detail.

    what I LOVE about Julian's playing is that he is willing and able to go to musical places no one else would think of. In all honesty, for me, there are times I don't always love where he lands ( admittedly, a rare occasion) but HE is willing to try it and his technique (don't even get me started!) is such that he can go wherever he wants - whenever he wants!
    Thank you Julian - it ia alqays a joy to hear you play!

      @@utube9000 no joke. I’ve been playing for 15 years and I feel like a kid messing with pentatonics compared to him. I’ve done some transcriptions of his music and it’s just so next level. Maybe if I had 3 lifetimes.

    Great stuff. I'm a big fan of the Benny Goodman Sextet recordings featuring Charlie Christian, and Julian really does it well here with this trio. I'm glad instruments like this are being played, and not locked in a glass case. These instruments need to be heard, not looked at.

  • @rogerdat7807
    @rogerdat7807 Год назад +1

    Superb. Thank you. Truly.
    My dad played horns, particularly clarinet for all of his life. He was a Benny Goodman fanatic. When I rebelled to wannabe EVH, he was patient. When I grew up and returned, he gave me Charlie Christian and Rose Room to practice. We jammed it and that's the only recording I have playing with my pops. Thanks for bringing me back!
