I’ve been playing guitar for a really stinking long time. This cat might be the best guitar player to ever pick up the instrument! I don’t say that lightly. It’s astonishing!
The most incredible thing about Julian is that on the contrary of other guitarists, we can see that he's not focused on the technical aspect of his playing but he's focus on how joyful it is for him to play! And that's maybe why he's so damn good at playing music :)
@@blahqwe You nailed it. He mastered not only technique at an early age, but also theory. So much so that's it's completely organic to him. His solos are not demonstrations of technique, they're spontaneous compositions.
That intro to Day and age was incredible. It's like he's taking elements of the tune one by one and prepare them before assembling them like lego pieces, it all comes together.
You know someone is talented when they can turn their own song upside down and inside out improvisationally, under pressure. I just spent three days trying to learn a basic guitar version of day and age from the Collings video and now to hear him do this with it demonstrates such a stratospheric talent. All hail Julian.
If you get the chance, I highly recommend seeing julian live. Bar far the best concert i have ever been to. It was psychedelic and spiritual experience. Literally took my breathe away a few times
Agreed. I mean, that's a pretty safe statement for most good musicians, like how "the book is better than the movie" tends to hold true. But there is something absolutely electric in the room when Julian plays. Such high level improv... you can feel him catching lightning out of the air.
I was trying to timstamp a beautiful area of this, but I didn't, because it didn't make sense to timestamp it, because I couldn't find where the beautiful moment started, nor ended
I like his playing immensely more solo. It’s beautiful without the distraction of other instruments. I wish more people would explore how beautiful the electric guitar can be.
I'm in awe everytime I see him play, love his sound and timing. My fav jazz guitarist. I sometimes wish I had listened more jazz guitarists because I find it such an interesting genre, but I always struggled to stick with others and found it hard to fully get into jazz guitar music. I only enjoyed short burst of jazz. Finding, Julian was a revelation, a lucky find, I can listen to him play and listen again and love it each time, usually more than the last time! Thank you Julian 😊
This is incredible. He is simply the best. He just opened Pandoras box and Pandora loves him. This a copletely new approch to electric guitar. Since I heard John Mclaughlin with the Mahavisnue Orchestra in the early seventies nothing rocked the boat for me. Scofield was interesting and still is but what Julian does comes from another realm. You can not categorice it. It is a new artform.
ok, he has already become my favorite guitarist ever, it has been a brutal duel this last years, but i just have to accept it. He is the friking Goat in my list because apart from the insane ability i just enjoy his music, i enjoy listening to his albums immensely.
He's probably my favorite musician these days. His music and playing always takes me on a journey of delight and wonder. Every time I hear him play, there is always something I've not heard before. What an incredible talent. Thanks for blessing us with your music, Julian. Much love.
Julian is one of those rare people who seems completely at ease with everything he does, and one of those rare artists who so completely embodies and embraces his being as a musician that the music becomes him. Literally this just Julian and his guitar letting us in on one hell of a conversation, while still remaining completely accessible to even non- hardcore jazz heads. (Of this generation only Jon Batiste comes to mind as having this gift.)
And I thought he was incredible 10 years ago! Absolutlely MONSTER PLAYING....but still beautifully musical and soulful. Really incredible. Thank You Julian😁
Julian Bream + Chet Atkins! Only you could pull this off! There is no aspect of these compositions you haven't thoroughly lived. Intonation is flawless.
My god. I´ve just about learned the original composition of day and age, and I'm completely stunned by the talent that is Julian Lage once more, taking it to a whole new level of jazz fusion.
Dear god, how many thousands of hours he must've put to achieve such a level of proficiency with his guitar.. He is literally ONE with his instrument. Great music. Jazz men are the equivalent of Rally drivers.. So much going on with those fingers -_-
I believe he once said in an interview that between six and twelve years old he practiced six to eight hours a day. And he took lessons for years from accomplished jazz player Randy Vincent and classical lessons from the San Francisco Conservatory. He was a kid who had extraordinary talent, a work habit to match, and very high quality instruction.
What the fuck was that? How can anyone do that? I've heard him play day and age like five different ways, but that one was special. What a treasure Julian is, seriously
A great lesson I got for JL is how to hold the guitar and how to play with a light touch. The guitar becomes part of the body and the experience is elevated through the body and resonance within, really a great lesson. Amazing fellow. I can play one note like JL and am satisfied sounds so pretty.
No Words! What can be said?!?! It's all there! Stare, while closing your eyes! And just listen..while watching.. See You in Teatro Ariosto, Reggio Emilia, Italy.. October, 22nd..

4:46 the way he casually puts the string back after ripping it out of place from the bridge!
The casual 'hmm what incredible thing shall i do next' chin-scratch at 1:57 made me laugh. Such mastery over the instrument.
There really is no one else like Julian on this planet.
There is and he's called Antoine Boyer, young French guitarist !
@@anthony27334 I would have to wholeheartedly disagree.
@@obsoletecd-rom Well that's your opinion ! It's not mine .
@@anthony27334 lol but you commented on his comment arguing with his opinion...
That’s with every great artist. Pat Martino , Wes Montgomery etc… all of them are truly one of a kind.
I’ve been playing guitar for a really stinking long time.
This cat might be the best guitar player to ever pick up the instrument!
I don’t say that lightly.
It’s astonishing!
It’s hard to go back to listening to regular guitarist after listening to Julian
I have to agree. There is just so much here.
Depends what you mean by a regular guitarist.
The most incredible thing about Julian is that on the contrary of other guitarists, we can see that he's not focused on the technical aspect of his playing but he's focus on how joyful it is for him to play! And that's maybe why he's so damn good at playing music :)
Like Gene Krupa. And not like Buddy Rich.
I think that's just how it looks... his tone dynamic and feel are technically superb
@@StuartwasDrinkell Right, he clearly mastered technique at such an early age, that it now looks effortless.
@@blahqwe You nailed it. He mastered not only technique at an early age, but also theory. So much so that's it's completely organic to him. His solos are not demonstrations of technique, they're spontaneous compositions.

The man is other-worldly and spreads joy through his fingers.
They had Da Vinci in the 1400’s, today we have Julian.

That Day and Age piece. Oh wow. That was an outstanding experience.
Thanks for watching Josías!
If you get the chance, I highly recommend seeing julian live. Bar far the best concert i have ever been to. It was psychedelic and spiritual experience. Literally took my breathe away a few times
I'm seeing him again tomorrow at the Village Vanguard
Agreed. I mean, that's a pretty safe statement for most good musicians, like how "the book is better than the movie" tends to hold true. But there is something absolutely electric in the room when Julian plays. Such high level improv... you can feel him catching lightning out of the air.
he freely improvises and plays chords that other people haven’t even thought of yet
I was trying to timstamp a beautiful area of this, but I didn't, because it didn't make sense to timestamp it, because I couldn't find where the beautiful moment started, nor ended
I like his playing immensely more solo. It’s beautiful without the distraction of other instruments. I wish more people would explore how beautiful the electric guitar can be.
His note control and use of dynamics is masterful. Incredible playing as always.
Agree!
This is a masterclass in dynamics.
So good!🤯
I'm in awe everytime I see him play, love his sound and timing. My fav jazz guitarist.

Thank you Julian 😊
I’m listening to this on a sun bed looking our over the Atlantic Ocean in Lanzarote. Perfect 😎
Speechless. Jaw on the floor.
Hurts to watch and brings me great joy.
Nice music presentation 🙏 thank you dear friend
I wish you nice day 🕊🕊
aaaaa the dynamics, julian has like 10.000 different volume levels, is absurd. So good
This is incredible. He is simply the best. He just opened Pandoras box and Pandora loves him. This a copletely new approch to electric guitar.

Julian is the poet of the guitar, go see him live, pure joy, thank you very much for this recording!
Thank you for watching!
What a fantastic talent, an exceptional mix of creativity and technical control!
ok, he has already become my favorite guitarist ever, it has been a brutal duel this last years, but i just have to accept it. He is the friking Goat in my list because apart from the insane ability i just enjoy his music, i enjoy listening to his albums immensely.
And with all that said, I will say that I miss the tele.
He's probably my favorite musician these days. His music and playing always takes me on a journey of delight and wonder. Every time I hear him play, there is always something I've not heard before. What an incredible talent. Thanks for blessing us with your music, Julian. Much love.
Everything Julian does is amazing, obviously, but god damn his solo performances are just extra mesmerizing and special.
cant believe this dropped out of nowhere
Awesome nuance and color. God in heaven!
So crisp, clean and expressive. That guitar must be very pleased with its owner.
His playing is so much more intense when you can see exactly what his hands are doing. Holy smokes.
Thanks for watching and subscribing Robert!
he plays open-tuning voiced arrangements in standard tuning. wild dexterity
It's an otherworldly experience hearing Julian play solo... Here is this generation's Wes Montgomery or Django Reinhardt or Charlie Christian...
I could listen to him play all day
Julian is one of those rare people who seems completely at ease with everything he does, and one of those rare artists who so completely embodies and embraces his being as a musician that the music becomes him. Literally this just Julian and his guitar letting us in on one hell of a conversation, while still remaining completely accessible to even non- hardcore jazz heads. (Of this generation only Jon Batiste comes to mind as having this gift.)
Sublime. Tone really is in the hands.
And I thought he was incredible 10 years ago! Absolutlely MONSTER PLAYING....but still beautifully musical and soulful. Really incredible. Thank You Julian😁
New favorite guitarist Julian Lage
Absolutely incredible! He is constantly reaching for new things and it’s so wonderful to hear and watch history being made in front of our eyes.
Absolutely lovely playing
This man is great inspiration. Thank you Julian Lage.
Julian Bream + Chet Atkins! Only you could pull this off! There is no aspect of these compositions you haven't thoroughly lived. Intonation is flawless.
classical jazz and exercises all from his head. Brilliant

Anxiously awaiting your transcriptions, Jon.😉
@@photog_matt_elder The waiting is over ;)
wow you are here! fan of your transcriptions
@@skarl_3 Yeah man, I had a short career in the early days of the RUclips meme transcription genre, too :P
Une découverte pour moi, je ne connaissais pas ce monsieur! Quelle classe!
My god. I´ve just about learned the original composition of day and age, and I'm completely stunned by the talent that is Julian Lage once more, taking it to a whole new level of jazz fusion.
John Sco or Miles played fusion, but here this is the fusion of what ??? ah ah
No comment. Julian plays and I feel good.
Brutal! So full of deep feelings. This is why I love this musician
He's so musical, so many layers with simple movements
AMAZING. My favorite new guitar hero.
Best guitar player alive .
desde Mendoza argentina.....Felicitaciones muy buen canal y QUÉ GUITARRISTA POR DIOS excelente!!!!!!!!!!!wow!!!!!

@@jeffs7482…..and yet it still brings him the greatest joy just to play. It’s a privilege to be able to watch him. He has redefined guitar for me.
Gorgeous playing, thanks for recording and sharing this.
Thanks for watching!
Incrível. Obrigado pela partilha. 😀
What the fuck was that? How can anyone do that? I've heard him play day and age like five different ways, but that one was special. What a treasure Julian is, seriously
Banging on all cylinders for this one. Lights out
BAM! Beautiful monstrous creativity... I feel lucky to be one of the first folks to hear this performance! Cheers from Canada!
Thanks for watching!
Estamos presente ante una Leyenda sin darnos cuentas 🧨
A great lesson I got for JL is how to hold the guitar and how to play with a light touch. The guitar becomes part of the body and the experience is elevated through the body and resonance within, really a great lesson. Amazing fellow. I can play one note like JL and am satisfied sounds so pretty.
Pure brilliance. Thank you
Brilliant performance! Just amazing!
No Words!

It's all there!
Stare, while closing your eyes!
And just listen..while watching..
See You in Teatro Ariosto, Reggio Emilia, Italy.. October, 22nd..
He makes it look so SIMPLE!!! Classy guitarist.
gorgeous
Julian is amazing
every day i hear this video
I wish we could hear him play freely like this on record
My god what a legend
Julian is astonishing. That chord section starting at 8:48 sounds like a little tribute to Frank Zappa. Not sure if it was intentional, but I like it!
This is so wonderful, Thank you very much for this great music and lesson.
To accomplish so much with an itchy face.... Breathtaking Julian! (also, clearly wielding dark magic at 4:57 )
lol I notice he does that a lot when playing. It's like it's part of his playing.
@@phish1 I've been staring at my comment for a year waiting for someone to respond. thank god.
Thank you
Makes my day!
Julian is amazing...
superb
Watching Julian play always reminds me of how good I'll never be, lol.
Great. Thanks for putting this up.
Thanks for watching!
🔥🔥🔥
Meraviglioso Lage❤
Casual leg cross at 5:20 in the middle of a thunder brain storm of mental improv.
There's no one like him.
increíble
改めて、間違いなくギターの天才やと思う。
冗談みたいやけどメシの最中に魅入ってホントに箸ポロンって落とした
マジで冗談みたいなレベルの演奏。
彼はなんかもう・・日本語でいうとこの「融通無碍」みたいな領域にいる感じがする。
湧き出たモンをその瞬間にそのまんま音に出来る異常なまでの表現力。
こんな人間いるんやなぁ。
3:51 those are so goddam calluses that can do that move. Amazing. First time hearing him, in love immediately.
Insane!
Does anybody know the name or have tabs of that incredible lick he plays in the first 5 seconds?
I'd love to hear him play "Country" by Keith Jarrett
9:23 is just madness,
¡Madre del amor hermoso, menuda exquisitez!
love that unadulterated sound.
Genio uauuu ❤️
Blast out a version of Take five...
Or Woodchoppers ball...great jammin.
Hes so good
Diossss el lick del 3:59 es una locura.
I feel like only two players have reached this level of guitar playing although their music is different. Lage and Guthrie.
WOOOOOOOW
Damn!
That facial soundproofing really helps to limit the breathing on the mic. Much appreciated.
More please
Would love to hear this without RUclips compression.
