Improvising within the range of your speaking voice. Genius!
@Evan Hodge nah it’s simple but not that obvious, Bud. Not every instrument aligns with human voice range either. But thanks for the nice dose of smug this afternoon 😊
Hope you guys keep pumping out these julian videos!
What a privilege it is to have Julian Lage impart his knowledge to us viewers. I just love his playing and his regular guy manner. Where's the Gretsch?!
He is the Bob Ross of guitar.
Happy Little Lower Registers!
@chordsoforion is the Bob Ross of guitar!
Actually that would be Guthrie
Ted Greene >.
I believe Paul Davids suits that as well
I wonder where he found that tiny couch to sit on
When you build Ikea with a smaller print
It’s actually a regular sofa. It just looks smaller in perception to him and it’s lot further back.
hahaha
@@TheChrisHarperI think this is bait
I think this shows why Julian sound is so different, he is very comfortable in the lower sounds and solos often less with complex chords but rather melodies in in comfort zone. He always looks so relaxed and happy when playing.
Thanks so much for this series of videos Guitar World!!! It’s amazing to learn from such a talented artist!!
Julian.. what a sweet, humble person. tks!
That’s conceptually so simple but it never occurred to me and it was unique in the way it’s explained, great stuff. Thank you Julian.
Sweet Julian, ultrasupermega interesting concept, love your message and the way you smile like a kid when you're sharing your knowledge, truly fantastic. Keep on rockin' your tele!
The idea of finding your vocal range when you talk, but on the fretboard for leads, is pretty fascinating.
Listening to him talk is like being serenaded by a host of angels (who happen to be jazz guitar prodigies)
Love you Julian Lage! You are a true original and a true gentleman. Thank you for such a great lesson.
That is one of the most relaxing videos I've ever seen. Gonna watch it before bed.
What great advice; Julian is a treasure as a teacher, too!
only genius can simplify things like that!! much apreciated!!!
I totally agree with the importance of lower notes in a solo, especially on Fenders. My favorite part on the tune "Lenny" by Stevie Ray Vaughan is that snappy syncopated slur of low notes line on the A string
two thirds down the song. Always felt that it has a surprise effect, and I always wait for it every time I listen to that song.
He'd make a good teacher: clear, unassuming, and a great player. And encouraging to his audience.
This is A grade stuff. Philosophy of improvisation explained so simply.
This is most excellent, thank you.
Love this. Julian has great insight.
I’ve been watching this video periodically since it was first posted. And I understand the concept but even when Mr. Lage plays the “boring” high string lead it sounds incredible.
This actually changed my way of thinking from this point onwards
Hopefully these are coming together as some sort of DVD along with the forthcoming issue :)
Your speech is just like your guitar playing: thoughtful and gentle, very good articulation.
Wow! I have been trying to keep myself away from E string and you just gave me a helpful advice. Thank you !
Just started playing again after 20 years away. I have a fender strat, a g& l asat telecaster, & a gretsch 2420. I would not trade any of them. This guy is so good & down to earth, i love him!!!
Excellent as expected
I love everything about this guy
He's such a genius
Very good point and great lesson
Excellent advice and playing.
Mind blowing! He explained a thinking of mine, but in a smarter more complete way!
He plays like he talks, and viceversa
Beautiful playing accented by gleaming frets, I love it!
His stuff is the best, because it makes me feel best.
Roni Ben hur said something similar immediately resonates when you hear those examples
For some reason I think of Abraham Lincoln when watching Julian.
Learning a lot from his 5 minute videos!
I had the same experience many years ago when I went from a Gibson semi hollow to a Tele.
Nice idea
The guy is just a nice guy...👍
Underrated
Very interesting!
Best musician ever 😍
I’m listening to this guy as much as anyone these days
Gold.
Even the way Julian talks is musical.
awesome
omg what an angel
Super interesting take, awesome lesson, more Julian Lage lessons please!
I love julian lage
He seems like literally the nicest dude
Genio
He is the Julian Lage of Guitar
Great Lincoln! 😁
Julian makes me want to get a telecaster, Ive been eyeing teles for awhile. Ive never thought about playing guitar withing speaking peaking voice notes, i will have to try that.
Mira vos, yo de casualidad hago eso desde hace rato. Pero que nivel terrenal obviamente. Ja
Sonny Sharrock called the lower register his baritone sax. 👍🏻
..touched by the Gods
Interesting his explanation. I often approach a solo much like it’s a conversation.
Call and response w/ a singer is a blast! :)
You jazzed it up😀
I wonder where he got all that talent to play music with? 🎸
Great tip.... play around where you speak.. fantastic.. he makes it all so easy ( why the hell cant I do that??)
FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE
The Bob Ross of guitar!
Waiting for Java Man to flip out that I said that again.
That's some nice reverb you've got on that sound!
Strymon Flint?
Dritero Demjaha yes it is
yeah I love the idea of playing solo electric guitar. Why not? it all depends on the guitar player. Julian Lage is a good example. Now think about some violin or cello works of JS Bach. For instance, Partita no2 in Dm, that's an 30 minutes of violin solo. Remember, it's much more difficult to play chord on a violin than on a guitar. Besides the violin's register is quite narrow, being most of the time in high key, no bass at all. And that's just one of the most beautiful musics ever written. I bet if Bach was about to play jazz on electric guitar alone, he would probably get along well...
Julian: A gentle giant.
Can we talk about that crooked picture behind his head? Haha couldn’t stop looking.
All I can say is check out ED BICKERT and his TELECASTER, he makes everything interesting 🎸👍
What brand of telecasters is he playing ?Thought he was on a Danocaster for a while but this is clearly something else?

Looks like his Nachocaster.
Play like you're speaking the intro to a Barry White song.
If you get to heaven and Julian Lage isn't there...you might not be where you think you are.
Holy greenscreen batman!
This master musician deserves to be above that Mr Jimmy Page pic
I mean, not to compare, but I feel the same wish to develop a new piece with the guitar. Page is a pioneer in his duty.
Also that weird playing of the intonation, some may say Page (or this fuckin great freakin guitarrist Mr Lage) are not that accurated, but 4 me thy re just genius
Correction:
When Julian says his voice is "Kind of around here" at 4:40, he's actually off by an octave. His voice is an octave lower than the note he is playing.
The pitch he is playing on guitar is D4. The pitch he is singing/speaking is actually the octave below that: D3.
This is a really easy mix-up to make. Different octaves between voice and string can be difficult to distinguish. It wasn't until I made an effort to figure out where middle C on the guitar is (C4), and then map out the entire fret-board using "Scientific Pitch Notation" that I really figured out how the range of my voice overlapped with the range of the guitar, and I realized that my comfortable singing range and speaking range is actually an octave lower than I thought - with most comfort singing in the 3 range and most comfort speaking in the 2 range.
I was actually surprised Julian made this tiny mix-up. I consider him such a high level master, it surprised me he hadn't traveled down that road of mapping out the range of his voice and his guitar using "Scientific Pitch Notation."
Maybe it's just because since I've focused so much on understanding my playing from a SPN view point the last year, this small error jumped out at me right away. Like if somebody casually told you the sky was purple, you might be like, "uuum, I mean, blue is like, a cousin of purple in a way. But the sky is definitely blue, not purple."
Wonderful player, but listening to him speak makes me sleepy.
I promise you Wes Montgomery didn’t think this way. This is music school shit.
I mean. I can promise you that comparing Julian to Wes is a pointless exercise that says absolutely nothing about either musicians abilities to express themselves on the instrument. What a weird way to think, mate.
Never liked his teaching methods 😋 they never make sense 🤣
