Who's here for Julian!? and wow.. what a video!!
Joseph Yun
His name's right there mate?
his mannerisms and way of being never fail to make me smile. such a calming, humble person, a true example and not only as a musician.
There's always a palpable feeling of magic when Julian plays, as though time itself stills around him to getting a better sense of what he's doing.
To me, free improvisation is the heart of music. Construction of a song and melody are so very satisfying, but that excitement of discovery and momentum in improvisation is like nothing else.
Lovely to hear Julian mention Marc Ribot. Ribot is an absolute force on the guitar.
Justan Optimist Marc Ribot is def a killer player, kinda underrated too if you ask me
@@jamespacia8610 I'd definitely agree he's underrated - his body of work is incredible.
Julian is now working with Zorn and Marc is in Electric Masada band, so maybe the connection is there for him now
@@TheZooropaBaby I completely forgot Julian was playing with Zorn! Yes, great thinking, I'd love for them to do some stuff together.
@@justanoptimist303 yeah Julian already has some albums with Zorn's label, including acoustic duo records and instrumental rock records
such a beautiful human being Amazing guitarist
So glad they didn't have a raging distorted electric guitar intro for Julian Lage. Julian's amazing.
That discussion was way above my head, but man, I could watch him play all day.
I love doing this, I don't think I am nearly as productive doing it as Julian seems to be, but I just love the free expression and not worrying about some of the rules we get ingrained into us.
Little that i know i was "using" this technique or method all the time. I came out with something i rarely encountered in the way i play before.
One of the MOST useful vids I've ever seen. Helps you sound more artistic and less scholastic. Also helps you keep up with what sounds you like real time!
I love everything Julian plays, he is a master!!!
"Here's he picking up a guitar and playing"..and here's me quitting the guitar and leaving..
DOH!!!! lol.......
"Who knows whatever that is (...), I'm just moving my hands)". Why I don't get anything close to that when I "just move my hands"? The man is a damn wizard.
Amazing playing, Mr. Julian Lage...
I love how Julian's 10 second long, on the spot improv sounds better than whole songs I've spent months refining and practicing

This guy's smile! his playing is great
Fantastic player, glad he went back to the beginning on how we start creating music.
Great positive energy coming from you. Muchas gracias Julián!!
one of the bests guitarrists of this era, no doubt, i love all his albums.
One of the most inspiring guitarists today
The way he articulates and smiles talking guitar... his look & even his voice tone reminds me of a young Dweezil Zappa. Such a cool guy.
Uh, yes, I'll have some more of that. Please and thank you.
What's cool is when you write out these free improvs and recreate them. One of my teachers-Lloyd Garber had albums like this and was big on clusters.
this is easy when you know exactly how to follow up once you land on a shape or chord familiar to you. knowing theory helps a lot with it.
What a human being!!
Great lesson
Dam that tone though!!!
So magic to see and to listen you
Figure 2 was gorgeous- I’ll be lifting that.
these videos are ASMR for guitar players
Cool dude. Good vibes, knows his stuff and knows how to comunicate it.
Cheers
..very nice. Singular. Engrossing..
I only know that way, 15 years improvising and i had various types of vocabulary during those years and nowadays i get the feeling that everything is easy, or almost, i think i got where people get´s first, playing well and consistently cause i just improvised for 14 years and you do not have time to be excellent in the instrument and at the same time construct your own voice...I think it is difficult to improvise later than in the beginning when you learning, cause you have the cup full. Backing tracks help me a lot building my own things.
you sound egotistical
who knows note... i love it.

'Hi, Im Julian Lage!'.
Lage is the modern day rockstar 😎
His demeanor is identical to Peter Sprague.... another master of jazz.
save for my practice fig 1, 2:45 fig 2, 3:36 fig 3, 4:55
the gate used on this video is so hard
Reminds me of what Joe Diorio used to teach.
Only jazz guitarists i like. His music is damn expressive.
the only one? damn
Devind Koswatte been listening to george benson. His phrasing is beautiful. dnt listen to jazz that much. I know jazz is supposed to be technical but sometimes it gets overboard.
@@pramesh.gurung listen to some jim hall or some wes
Larry Carlton? Robben Ford? Although I guess both are more of jazz fusion but hey it’s still jazz
you can do that on guitar ?
yeah this is my life. Without a teacher. I'm over here reading the beatobook and trying to make some sense of music theory about 20 percent of my pursuit, and the other 80 percent is "I know these major scale positions, lemme see what happens." xD
Excellent! It’s not easy to play freely well. It can spur new ideas for tunes. Playing free with other musicians can spur on listening skills. I like Wayne Krantz’s take on this as well. Krantz is probably a little less polite than JL. All great though.
WHERE IS THE TAB FOR THIS PLZ RELEASE IT
Eli Lewis :D
ok but its not like hes not thinking about all of the fretboard knowledge he knows like if i do that i just do basic arpeggios and the pentatonic scales bru
Dead thread i know - but I think the idea is to look at the fret board - and literally not play the arpeggios and pentatonic box things your fingers know. Just look and pick another fret, then another, then another - after doing that 100 times, you’ll find things you think sound interesting and build on them into something that has nothing to do with any finger patterns you came into it with, at least not mainly
I think I have a crush on this guy.
Whenever I try this the notes all sound wrong lol
THIS is a real guitar god, not Kirk Hammett >:(
(My own opinion of course :) )
Is this a joke video about noodling?
no
Yes, noodling of creative geniuses that end up being masterpieces for us plebs ;)
I dig it lol But he really is just saying let your fingers move how they like, remember it, replicate it. I do love the idea how it sparks ideas though
