I love how he is always having fun playing the guitar. I mean literally look at his face , when he is playing. Its just a joy to see and hear him playing.
that last part where he talks about making up his chord progressions, reminds me of a danny gatton video, where danny says when people ask him how he comes up with interesting color tones/ licks over the same old progressions, he says 'play the wrong thing'
FINALLY you get to see a pro talk about playing and music and theory and method at the same time. There are millions of "lessons" on youtube where some shredder play "jazzy cromatic licks" over Band in a Box backing tracks, without a clue about whats happening. This is probably together with Assafkehati the best lessons about II-V-I Ive seen. Thank you Julian for sharing, this was awesome! Best, Sandemose
At the concert in Memmingen i got to speak with him and he really walked behind the stage, picked up his guitar and showed me something! THIS WAS SO FUCKING AMAZING, THANK YOU, MR. LAGE!
I can attest to that :) Some time ago I saw him live and had a little chat with him. It was just so great to see him play, because not only did it sound great, but they looked like they were having the best time ever! And all of us, the audience, were smiling as well. Such a great guitarist, and a really nice guy :)
man love this perspective of music. it's not super specific but it isn't spacy at all. i feel i sort of know what direction to go next time i practice jazz...
Yeah, music can be much more free than I thought... tension and release, it made me think of movement, which made me think of a dance. So, by changing the chords you are kinda doing a different dance move.
Wonderful, sensitive touch - amazing player. For/to my old ears, the flat-top (probably a Martin) sounds better acoustically than any (unplugged) arch-top F hole jazz guitar.
Yeah, I've got quite a few decades on me, too. I've been working on one of his acoustic tunes, 40's, for months now. His fretting technique is so flawless, it's a revelation even after all my years of playing. That's why he can make any guitar he picks up sound so glorious.
Not exactly, I mean the first chord is F#m7, which is completely unrelated to Dm7. As long as it sounds outside and also sounds good, you're doing it right.
It's really an advanced concept involving a flat 11, so it sounds like a major third super imposed over a minor chord. The theory hasn't caught up with Julian.
The first rule is rhythmic integrity( if you are expressing a viable emotion with rhythmic integrity the notes don't really matter). The second rule is trust your instincts. The third rule is don't misjudge yourself. The fourth rule is experiment and find what it is that you want to say, and can say physically( exploit your limitations). Five: Space( or Silence) is often better than too many notes. As far as formulas, they generally work, but are an over trodden path. Even Beethoven wrote out nine pages showing how a certain rule of Counterpoint was wrong! Imagine the frustration.
what word can sum up julian's playing? vDjango Reinhardt. with extreme beautiful melodic approach coated on top , no no , even django would be amazed to see how much his style could be developed so much more, to the point it has been became so wonderful.
Where was this video when I needed it .. Ex 1-2 were my lines too, for far too long. "Learn scales" is the worst piece of advice you can give anyone wanting to get anywhere in this music, ESPECIALLY when we're dealing with ii-V's occurring over a single bar.
Best guitarist of his generation

"that was me just kindof doing whatever". what...WHAT
Walker Sorenson lol
Yeah, that escalated quckly!
BTW how is he so quick, smooth, accurate, super clean? Wow.
Right!?!?😂
I REFUSE
I don't wanna go home and face my guitar
that last part where he talks about making up his chord progressions, reminds me of a danny gatton video, where danny says when people ask him how he comes up with interesting color tones/ licks over the same old progressions, he says 'play the wrong thing'
That's what I found most interesting and would like to do more of. I rarely even think to use substitutions like that over jazz changes.
THAT'S A MUSICIAN!!!!! HE ENJOYS ALL HE PLAYS!! HE SMILES WHILE PLAYING,,,MY FAVORITE GUITARRIST FROM NOW!!

He has such a soft way of speaking.

Thank you, Julian Lage for filming this! You have helped me immensely in understanding this concept! Wow!
YES. I only found out about him LAST WEEK! by chance, and that was the first thing to attract me, how JOYFUL he is when he plays!
I've no idea what's going on here, but it sounds great!
I like the simplicity of the idea relating to keeping or hearing the bass notes to start with.
i fucking suck and my guitar playing will never amount to anything
randomlygeneratedusername not with that attitude! were in the information age dude take advantage of it.
randomlygeneratedusername never try, never fail.
dank_asian_snacks jerry Garcia couldn't do this. it's okay
man love this perspective of music. it's not super specific but it isn't spacy at all. i feel i sort of know what direction to go next time i practice jazz...
that last example made so much fucking sense it is blowing my mind
+Nick Merrick oh fucking fuck ! :)
+Nick Merrick agreed

I want this lesson complete
Where I can find it?
Wow. Love this.
He's an amazing talent
I love to hear jazz guitar on an acoustic guitar !!!
I love bending the "rules" too sometimes with Jazz.
Wonderful, sensitive touch - amazing player. For/to my old ears, the flat-top (probably a Martin) sounds better acoustically than any (unplugged) arch-top F hole jazz guitar.

Is there a full version of this somewhere? Don't see why so much is cut away
so much style...
I LOVE the way YOU play!!!!!!
really informative THANKS
Dunno about you all but I got every note of this
It's nice to know this is possible
4:03 = Maroon 5, "Sunday Morning" :D
..and a million other songs!
Is there a version with less or no cuts? There must be a more complete version of this
Bend the rules a bit he says. I think he tosses the rules to the wind. Beautiful playing.
Thanks for the insriration.
que loco por dios...
definitely liked the last example he gave the most.
he teaches at berklee in Boston
MUSICIANS WO CAN OR ALLOW THEMSELVES TO SMILE ARE BIIIG, ARE THE GREATEST, CAUSE THEY PROOF THE ROOT: JOY FROM AND OF MUSIC. THANK YOU
more please
Where can we get these? Are there transcriptions?
super master
what did i just watch!?!?!?!
well that just escalated quickly!
II-V-I. Bend the rules!!!
Where can I can the music for this?
genius
Not exactly, I mean the first chord is F#m7, which is completely unrelated to Dm7. As long as it sounds outside and also sounds good, you're doing it right.
It's really an advanced concept involving a flat 11, so it sounds like a major third super imposed over a minor chord. The theory hasn't caught up with Julian.
Where is the complete lesson?
Question: When superimposing, as in the last example, are there general rules for which chords work, and how to approach an 'outside' superimposition?
The first rule is rhythmic integrity( if you are expressing a viable emotion with rhythmic integrity the notes don't really matter). The second rule is trust your instincts. The third rule is don't misjudge yourself. The fourth rule is experiment and find what it is that you want to say, and can say physically( exploit your limitations). Five: Space( or Silence) is often better than too many notes. As far as formulas, they generally work, but are an over trodden path. Even Beethoven wrote out nine pages showing how a certain rule of Counterpoint was wrong! Imagine the frustration.
@@jackwilloughby239 very good points, thank you for sharing!
woow
where's the rest??
holy moley
It must sound good.
Can somebody explain his super imposing for the last example?
Dm G7 Cmaj
=> C#maj Cmaj
=> F#m Bbm Cmaj
How F# and Bb appear?
down up up :)
Very good idea of ii V I
Nice to know I can use my Martin dreadnought for Jazz, why did I buy that new arch-top electric?
Because Arch-tops and semi-hollowbodies give a twangy sound that a lot of jazz players love.
@@Mystermagic95 Because, irony.
All hail the Dalai Lama of guitar. I just want to be in his presence and watch him do stuff. Like I'll become better by watching him make coffee 🤣
i want a lesson from him so badly. does anyone know if he lives in new york?
I think he's at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. But he teaches online.
what word can sum up julian's playing?
vDjango Reinhardt. with extreme beautiful melodic approach coated on top
, no no , even django would be amazed to see how much his style could be developed so much more, to the point it has been became so wonderful.
its a dpa 4099g
This looks a whole lot like one of the Berklee practice rooms...
Im here just to read comments 🤣 lmao

+chonyboy123 he's playing 2402xx, 6x652x, x43343 and x3243x

www.playlikethegreats.com/julian-lage/julian-lage-lesson-youtube-clip
link doesn't work...
It does work! Have you made sure to not copy-paste extra unwanted characters, etc.?

even great with the old POS dread-nouhgt guitar.....
drew laredo pos martin? what
drew laredo pos martin? what
:'(
doin' whatever 0_o
um... what?
this makes me not want to play guitar anymore
The editing is pretty bad. Who the F edited this?
A great piece of tuition from Mr Lage - and all you can do is complain ?
You can't play this chords in standart tuning
Igor Ivashkhenko what do you mean?
yes you can
he's in standard tuning
You don't know what you are talking about
@@Periph1989 I think he means us mere mortals.
He tries to complicate something that's so simple 🤔
his arms are so so thin.. he needs food
Wonderful player, but seems clueless about how to teach people. Or he’s gatekeeping like a jerk (doubtful)
