I've been playing guitar for six years, and have no experience with playing jazz guitar. I was able to learn Level Four in just a couple minutes. Just practice more.
Haha, that was not my intention. But you know, I feel bad every time I see a great guitarist - but also inspired to get better. You just need to change that bad feeling to one of inspiration. Thanks for listening!
@@LucasBrar YOU feel inspired because YOU ARE A GREAT GUITARIST... and GREAT doesn’t even begin to describe your profoundly unbelievable skills. As such, you know that no matter what is being played by another guitarist you can play it 100 times better. The rest of us normal guitarists just feel like crap… honestly, you are an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to - you are musical perfection! And now that I have lit my guitars on fire, I don’t feel so bad about myself when I watch you. 😉
I LOVE ❤️ YOU Lucas!!! You are truly a gift to the Classical Guitar world! I love your videos I just discovered the Tarrega and Barrios yesterday and now this today! I am passionate about classical guitar and I see you are too! I am 67 years old soon to be 68 and just entering into the level six I’ll be taking my level six exam with CGCA in the spring of ‘24 God willing and all my practice holds out. I am an old woman you don’t have to worry about me stalking you but I just want you to know an old woman somewhere really loves and appreciates you and your approach and and your gift of sharing this and admires you! If you ever read this send me a positive vibe For my work towards my level six exam.
I can't explain what your music does for me. The complexity, the level of refinement in your techniques, the combination of extensive knowledge and creativity. Your voice is just an added bonus. Please keep playing music. I pray one day the world can hear this the way I do.
Incredible talent. It's good that UA-cam exists. Otherwise I would never have been able to discover the video. The harmonization and rhythmization skills are incredibly good and the chord knowledge is enormous. Rarely heard such a melodic guitar. This is the highest level!

I've been struggling a lot because I learned how to play Nirvana come as you are but apparently I'm unable of singing while I'm playing that guitar riff. Gosh dang it dudes shsjsjsjsjsjsj
@ I seem to be commenting on a lot of older videos lately so, here I am asking you a question about a comment that you wrote a year ago lol. I'd love to know if you ever got it down, singing and playing 'Smells Like Teen Spirit?' I have been working on that song on and off for the last year or so, (more off than on,) and I find that it is a little more on the challenging side because of the way that the vocal rhythm interacts with the strumming pattern.

@@Slatersan42 well dude, I have managed to do it not much longer after my comment, Hahah. I kept practicing over and over this and more advanced guitar techniques and a little bit later, boom, it finally paid off. Don't never give up dude, it was quite simple and quick.
Hello my friend. Finally Ive arrived to your page after a certain time. I mised you. You are a huge artist. Im from Argentine, I play guitar since 1976 and so on. A great therapy for me centanly. I admire you so much because you are very rithmic and very expresive. Thanks a lot!
Hi Lucas, Nice playing....level 8...you kept it interesting with the trem and didn't lose the melody, level 9...you introduced the swing feel...all you need now is to listen to Segovia and great blues guitarists for level 11...cheers😀👍
I found your channel because of mattias and i just love to hear you playing, i play guitar too, and hear you is a great inspiration! Good luck with your channel, i'm sure you are going to have sucess!
Man i'm lost for words right there, the walking bass is so well mastered and this groooove hits me so hard ...This is basically how i hear it in my head everytime i'm working on this song. You're good Lucas, beyong talented and inspiring on work ethic and dedication to get better and better and better...until you can get better again. Keep it up. You're rocking it.
I kind of would like to disagree here. I personally am a bit more of a roots style and he's trying too hard to change it and sound like Tarrega. It's a tough technique to master sure but that just does not go well with what the original song should be. Gotta say that the lv 9 and 10 and the super secret level was great though and I can agree with all the choice made
lol i think no, its just a lot of tremolo, the hard part is level 9 and level 10 because walking bass and fast rythim, well its for me, because i play this arrangment and i cant play level 9 and 10 but, the others levels i can
This song is something special. I play guitar for about 10 years, i graduated jazz high school but everytime I analyze this song I learn something else
I absolutely love your approach to teaching. You would be fun in the classroom. Thank you for posting the wonderful videos. I've just now discovered them and could no be more thrilled that I did. A serious player here folks, serious player!! Bravo.
I love the work and effort put into the piece. Just amazed at how complex and inspiring the piece sounds. It would be great if you tried deciphering “Brásilia” by Sergio Sampaio and giving tabs. It’s hard for me to learn since I’ve only just started trying out fingerpicking. Thank you for this music nonetheless.
Man I know nothing about playing guitar.. but I can see who it’s getting harder and harder, and delivering that from you -a master guitarist- to me -again, a person who doesn’t even know the basics- is just marvelous.. it’s always a pleasure to see professionals at work
Te agradezco mucho . Fue una grata sorpresa encontrarme con tu arte . Un deleite para mi es escuchar tanta música con profunda belleza. Medicina y alimento para mi alma. Gracias @Lucas Brar
I am so happy one of your videos blew up. Dude you are the next generation in jazz. your level of creativity has given me chills as a guitar player. Once I can afford it I want to join your patreon. You are a gift to this world with music.
When i see a guitarist who is this good, i often think of a street performer. I personally don't try to play all the parts at once, but this kind of skill is very entertaining as a performance . It sounds great ...on many levels !
But it's ain't about the skills What made Autumn leaves so essential in jazz is because it's about expressing the feeling of every musician that plays it
That’s what guitar kinda is, these skills are personalized developments, improvements of self. I love it and see guitar as a real expression of emotion. It’s not complicated, it’s expressing the full extent of someone’s emotions, the other stuff is just to make it sound nicer to other people.
All jazz standards are frameworks in which musicians can bring their own interpretation knowing that the other musicians are all working towards the same end. Music is a language. Jazz is a dialect of that language. You can say things in many ways but as long as they make the same point, you are on key.
This video is PERFECT for when : - You're starting to get a decent grip on your guitar - Someone sees you play and tells you how good you are - You go "Thanks, but mehh..." - They go "You're full of shit" - You show them this video - Lightbulb on
That's outstandingly fantastic! Just how I'd like to be able to play. And also versatile: it was nice at the beginning as well as towards the end, when it got jazzy.

Impressive, but try doing it without the hat on. It's clear that it's where your power lies.
Damn, you caught me! Don't tell anyone
Hahahah
I could also do that easily with a hat like that. I'm fed up with all these wipper snappers cheating too.
hahaha

I've been using this video to learn the arrangement of the song. I recently reached level 3 with only a couple of mistakes. I started in 1972.

This channel is just one big flex.
Exactly ! So freaking fit and appropriate
Thank you sir
And divine to watch such a groover
Lol
And I for one am HERE for it!
feels like this dude is a shredder on classical.. too many notes, the song didnt communicate well with me..
Came for the 10 levels, stayed for the beautiful rendition of the song. Extremely well done.
At level 5 I was like "what more can you add?!" Until we made it to level 10...
And then sang along hahhaa wtf guy is an alien
Same here. Somewhere around the middle levels, the music stopped like a reasonable challenge for me to play xD
6 was enough , the rest is flash 😅
That tremolo though... I fear no man, but that thing, it scares me
tremolo aint that hard bro, just try and you fingers will grow several brains each, trust evolution.
His tremolo is extremely fast and precise. It's very very hard to do that way
The video should be titled
"How to feel bad about your guitar skills"
Haha, that was not my intention. But you know, I feel bad every time I see a great guitarist - but also inspired to get better. You just need to change that bad feeling to one of inspiration. Thanks for listening!

ahaha yes ! It'd be god mod
Yeah, haha it´s a lot of flamenco tho
8> all
It should be called black magic
like you know you don't know so shut the fuck up it's "advanced guitar techniques"

Level 11 must be becoming Joe Pass himself. Loved it.

This man is level 12
Had to laugh, thanks
@eh6794 you are not a Joe Pass fan

Thanks! Best explanation ever as to what jazz is.
my god what a talent
Talent has little to do with this.
it does
But not saying you couldn't reach it without
Big Iron it doesnt, he has been practicing and learning for over a decade. If he had been playing for a year or two then he'd be a real talent.
@The Stupid will Inherit the Earth sometime it's not dedication it's pratice you can be great if you pratice for 3 hours to 6
but what you obtain with this hard work can indeed be called talent...
Thanks for inspiring me to practice - those tremolos sound so smooth.
Who else started smiling at level 9? 😁😁😁
Couldn't help myself

Beautiful
that walking bass

Wat I thought you were 22!
Play every day till you get it
Awesome! The time you spent practicing to achieve this level has payed off!
