thank you. I’m sitting here in a giant hospital in JAPAN, 69 years old, recovering from triple bypass open-heart surgery and thinking about how I would really like to get home and get back to practicing again after seeing this. I’ll dedicate a video of me playing Albeniz to you, Lucas. Thanks for all of the inspiration over the years. UPDATE: thank you so much to everyone who wrote such encouraging comments. This week I got back to work on my recording projects after I discovered the Zoom R4 digital recorder/interface. I will be launching my new UA-cam channel in the coming weeks.
Lucas is the only guitarist I’ve ever seen who can play Take Five on guitar whilst faithfully retaining the rhythmic, harmonic and melodic flow of the wonderful Dave Brubeck Quartet recording. And I’ve seen ‘em all! Sheer brilliance.
Dude is from an other world. He improvised while playing the bass line which is in 5/4 time signature without any mistakes. And then he played the drum solo 'on the guitar' while still playing the bass line!
What effs with my head in this kind of arrangement is when they have a rhythm pattern going, then start playing a melody OVER the rhythm… without altering the rhythm. Like at 0:06 in this piece… holy shit… 🤯😅
Lucas, I'm so happy to be seeing videos from you again. Your arrangements are always shockingly brilliant. Thank you for sharing your talent and hard work. 🙂
The Gene Wright bass underneath, Brubeck accompaniment, Desmond solo (and articulation, wow) and keeping it going with the Morello drum solo nod in the middle. Clever, creative, well done.
UA-cam have been presenting me with several solo versions of this tune lately, I like it, so I listen. This is by far the best, as I pretty much knew it would be before it even started. Another great one Lucas. Thanks.
@@alexdelascasas thanks. I never looked it up, but Lucas wrote in the very first frames on the video. As I myself used to write music, I believe that credits to the composer is very important. Once again thanks for the correction.
Your talent combined with the dedication and discipline to your art is undeniable. It's an absolute joy and pleasure to watch your hard work on display.
Many comments I agreed with and liked, but it's you, with whom I agree the most. Yes. The combination of talent and dedication on display here is what takes the breath away.
You are one of the best UA-camr musicians out there, man. Love your videos. Always keep them coming! I’d love to hear an album from you someday. Your playing and arrangements are top notch.
He's one the best in the world, in my opinion. (Not that that counts for anything.) I wish Chet was still alive to grant Lucas a 'Certified Guitar Player' certificate.
Lucas, non ho mai visto un concentrato di intelligenza, ironia, leggerezza e virtuosismo di tale livello. Tu sei davvero fantastico: un musicista che non mi stanco mai di ascoltare
Hey Guys! Hope you enjoy! Tab: www.patreon.com/posts/take-five-solo-97646229?Link&
It’s take more than the tabs to be able to play this 😅
Good to see you posting again maestro!
Thank you! Is the tab also available without patreon?
Yea right like tab is what we need to play it..
Will try to play it without tabs at first
Amazing arrangement ! Is that a double top guitar you have ?

I too was in a hospital bed watching this for the first time! In recovery now. Hope you are recovering too... This is phenomenal isn't it? ❤
Hope you get better soon and enjoy getting back to playing. X
I hope you have a quick recovery, and I’m very happy I could inspire you!! All the best ❤
i wish you a speedy recovery :)
Выздоравливай дружище! Поскорее!))

Maybe I am wrong, but I thought the original was by Paul Desmond.
@@hl4468 Paul Desmond was part of the quartet, he is the composer of this one though.
psssss.... what are you saying... Naudo Rodriguez is the daddy of fingerstyle.... check him out... ua-cam.com/video/FyRMKrQxCP0/v-deo.html
@@silphv Thanks for the info!
@@hl4468 np I had just looked it up, I didn't actually know a lot about this song before
Dude is from an other world. He improvised while playing the bass line which is in 5/4 time signature without any mistakes. And then he played the drum solo 'on the guitar' while still playing the bass line!
Its not improvised i think. But off course never the less absolutely insane stuff
You're right. It's an excellent reproduction of Paul Desmond's original solo.
So wonderful what peoples can do. Take that a.i.
He's not improvising, but that does not mean that we he does...is incredibly insane!
he plays the trumpet solo not an improv, this is nonetheless incredibely impressive
Harmony ✔️
Melody ✔️
Bass ✔️
Joe Morello drums solo at guitar ✔️ 👀
Thanks for this great piece!
As a guitarist myself, this performance tied my brain in knots! Incredible arrangement AND performance! Thank you!
What effs with my head in this kind of arrangement is when they have a rhythm pattern going, then start playing a melody OVER the rhythm… without altering the rhythm. Like at 0:06 in this piece… holy shit… 🤯😅
Insane level of articulation, clarity of all voices, musicality. Hats off!
Hats off? Never.
When technique and musicality do not come at the expense of soul. This is the most beautiful performance I have heard of this piece.
I agree 👍
With all that business, he played it slightly faster tempo as well.
Man im so glad to be alive xxtankfly
I agree too. It's awesome.
fuuucking hell Lucas, that's one of the hardest things you've uploaded. respect for arranging this mess and then playing it perfectly.
Lucas, I'm so happy to be seeing videos from you again. Your arrangements are always shockingly brilliant. Thank you for sharing your talent and hard work. 🙂
Thank you for listening!
Magnifique !
The Desmond solo, and then the Morello solo!? Such a fun listen. Thanks, Lucas!
The Gene Wright bass underneath, Brubeck accompaniment, Desmond solo (and articulation, wow) and keeping it going with the Morello drum solo nod in the middle. Clever, creative, well done.
This is so smooth. Finally someone did this classic justice.
Yes indeed, a truly worthy interpretation.
This is when you really love a musical piece! I can tell right away .
good heavens - you transcribed piano, sax, and drum solos - and then simultaneously played on guitar! praise.
What a wonderful way to start my day. Coffee, Jackie the cat on my lap and a fantastic rendition of Take Five.
This is INSANE, the original solo almost note for note AND the drum solo. FANTASTIC playing.
This is another level of genius. I can't imagine the tons of work and talent needed to achieve this masterpiece so easily, huge thanks !
Damn. The percussion! I'm in awe!
You sir are the GOAT
My favourite jazz standard of all time, played to perfection? Yes please.
I'm in awe.
That was absolutely brilliant as usual. Thank you!
I think you have jumped up and reached another level. Good to see that excellent players do keep progressing
From Brubeck to Metallica, your playing is absolutely mesmerizing. Thank you for posting.
I'm impressed by your playing style more than by anyone else.
Much love from Kyiv.
Insane omg i love this version PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL THANK YOU THANK UUU
D-Day is here, he posted 2 videos...
You mean lucky day?
La canción esta en re..D .
Never surrender!
SCARY, isn't it? I hope it's not terminal.
A legend like this can upload whenever he fucking wants. \s
This is one of the most amazing things i've ever seen and heard
The record that introduced me to Jazz and changed my life. Excellent arrangement Thanks. i could listen to you all night .
UA-cam have been presenting me with several solo versions of this tune lately, I like it, so I listen. This is by far the best, as I pretty much knew it would be before it even started. Another great one Lucas. Thanks.
Brilliantly arranged and played! I love Brubeck's 5/4 Take Five.
It's actually paul desmond (brubeck's sax player) that wrote it
@@alexdelascasas thanks. I never looked it up, but Lucas wrote in the very first frames on the video. As I myself used to write music, I believe that credits to the composer is very important. Once again thanks for the correction.
@@KajVardinghus cringe
That is a huge arrangement! Thanks for creating and sharing that!
What a versatile player, your version is so rich in variety!
In awe here
Dude. That was out of this world... I couldn't imagine this being played with only 1 guitar but you did it
Gorgeous!
What a fantastic arrangeent! Beautifully played too. Thanks Lucas
The best TAKE FIVE I've ever heard!
That is the most amazing thing I've seen and heard in years. Thank you for sharing.
Sheer bliss. Thank you for bringing grace and elegance into the world!
Your talent combined with the dedication and discipline to your art is undeniable. It's an absolute joy and pleasure to watch your hard work on display.

Incredible! I would say impossile and you made it. Pure geniality.
NO WAY!!! I’ve been working on a version of this for a couple of weeks now! This was fantastic, nice job!
Absolutely blown away my friend. Masterful.
Masterful arrangement and performance, bravo!!!
That's overwhelming! Sounds like whole Brubeck's quartet playing right in front of you. Great!
@T_ELEG_RAM_official_Lucas_brar bring it on
One of my favourite jazz pieces, and very well executed. Good job Lucas.
Oh yeah, This is one of those arrangements we will be listening to for quite some years. Dope!
Amazing arrangement Lucas! Love the percussives and intricate melodic harmonisations.One of the best tunes ever, of any genre.
I stood in awe, with my mouth open for 3 minutes. Amazing work! Out of this world
Stunning rendition of a classic song.
This is just beautiful.
Man you are CRAZY good at this. You rly have a shot at the GOAT discussion.
Dude, you're an absolute beast. Always a joy to see what hard work and talent can produce.
Holy crap I love this. So glad you're back, brother.
Amazing! One of the best arrangements I've ever heard for any instrument!
Simply amazing! Please, more of this Lucas.
Tricky timing made to sound easy, Lucas. I grew up 30-minutes away from Dave Brubeck’s home town. You just took me back there. Stay awesome.
You are one of the best UA-camr musicians out there, man. Love your videos. Always keep them coming! I’d love to hear an album from you someday. Your playing and arrangements are top notch.
Just amazing! One of the best performances I've seen in a while :)
Literally the first jazz track I ever really listened to. God I love it
Love your arrangement and performance. Congratulations!
Fantastic. So smooth. It sounds really like two guitarists and percusions playing... Congrats.
You are incredible...
Great job on one of my favorite instrumental pieces. You made it swing and kept in the groove with your improvs.

Of the guit players I have heard, Dude, you are easily one of my all-time favs. Just Wow!
He's one the best in the world, in my opinion. (Not that that counts for anything.) I wish Chet was still alive to grant Lucas a 'Certified Guitar Player' certificate.

Brilliant. Love the Tommy Emmanuel style percussion.
Well done Lucas..you blew me away again
You post it, I like it, that simple! Amazing as always!
Greetings from Brazil.
What a performance... Thx for all those great moments...
Nice… that tune never gets old, and it’s always refreshing to hear a well-played cover…
This is the best presentation with a guitar that I've ever seen!

This boggles the mind. Good grief, the skills and feels.
Maravilloso arreglo. Interpretación magistral. Buena batería!
Great as always, and TIL Desmond has sole writing credit for this. I had always assumed it was written as a group.
This was amazing. I am totally speechless. I didn't blink for its entirety. So captivating and subtle. You, sir, are a hard working genius!
Always wonderful sir, thank you.
It doesn‘t get any better! ❤❤❤
Dude, when are you going on tour?
You have so much material and a solid fan base. Time to make it happen!
outstanding solo arrangement and performance, different level stuff, bravo
Continuously humbled by your playing, Lucas.
