Etude #3 by Julian Lage

[@joeyrizzo2]

i saw a video of mario camarena playing this in some instagram compilation. mad nice song dudee

[@ConnorArchibald]

I was like oh nice a D- chord maybe this'll finally be the Julian Lage song I can play.......NOPE

[@pholeare]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@nophonecamera]

HAHAHA!

[@gilbata]

lol, right, but there are several songs from his albums that are much more accessible for mere mortals to learn. These Etudes are killer.

[@christopherptacek9695]

If nothing else--and surely it's not just this--you raise the bar for what we can accomplish on an instrument. That's no small feat. I would never have thought of some of the texture you apply here. That 4.5 minutes was highly valuable to me. Thanks.

[@55cyanide]

your style is so calming to listen to, but yet it still has a power to it that keeps you at the edge of your seat. i applaud your musical abilities and i hope to hear more from you.

[@jada90]

I loved reading your description! I saw you live at the Paradise last night. Really awesome to be able to get an insight into how you approach a piece.

[@matt52590]

the rain in the background is the best

[@muggo131]

this is ridiculously hard

[@yesfan157]

Julian, you are a guiding light. Thank you.

[@hadriusreznor3247]

This is like 10 songs in one fusioned by a permanent wave of harmonic variations

[@James.D]

Julian, i mean this in the kindest way possible...you're from outer-space. From outer-space, and on a different level in outer-space. Other than that, i'm at a complete loss of PG-rated words.

[@FriedFishies]

rhythmic genius

[@Rohrerprod.]

This is metal as fuck. Really nice piece. Julian lage rules.

[@Laguitarradejuancho]

Thanks for share!

[@zajaka288]

Great, as always. Thanks for sharing

[@ItamarErezMusic]

beautiful... really remarkable what you are doing here rhythmically. Well done!

[@gattsruko]

Please finish this song! Record it and publish for us, it is amazing and an essential of your works. Very needed to your discography! Thank you for your art and please keep sharing it! God bless.

[@gilbata]

this, Etude 3, and Etude 1 were both recorded with the Gary Burton new quartet, strongly recommended

[@gattsruko]

@@gilbata Thank you for the information! I searched in Spotify but couldn't find it, going to try KZbin now, thank you!

[@gilbata]

@@gattsruko it’s here on KZbin, album is called “common ground”. Tunes shine even more in that context, pretty amazing

[@williamvansiclen6358]

For a brief moment there I thought I saw Julian actually straining. I guess there's a first time for everything!

[@countryguitaronline]

Wish I could've seen you and Critter in Austin the other week. Hope y'all make it down this way again

[@GiuseppeDelfinoGuitar]

I never seen you playing manouche guitar, but is clear the gypsy influence in your latest years, i really wish to see something with this instrument ! all the best

[@mikefiddle]

I love this mango. You are da man

[@carlosmontoyamusic]

Any scores available?

[@alfbarroso]

Gorgeous! It reminds me Milton Nascimento sometimes, the contrapuntual bass lines...Are the scores available? Greetings from Brazil!!

[@foreveryoung232]

Yeah! Selmer-style guitar in the background to his right! Amazing music by the way.

[@patfarlow]

i like the part with the thing

[@christopherbanuelos1602]

absolutely beutiful dude, that one chord progression from :14 to 17 is so catchy 10/10 would bang this song

[@rhythmtension4572]

The version With Gary Burton is pretty amazing go check it out

[@fishbrehth]

that set is legendary.

[@DoumdaDoum]

+rhythm tension whats the name of the song with the burton's quartet? i cant find under the name of banksy

[@rhythmtension4572]

Yes the song is called banksy on the CD Common Ground.

[@jsoffel]

This guy is really unbelievable. I cant believe what im listening to. It reminds of some Radio Head tune too. But i dont know which one.

[@DrakePitts]

I really wouldn't mind if you posted more etudes, by the way. ;)

[@lorisvachet683]

Nice one, I like it !

[@ddanze]

Interesting , reminds me of early Andrew York

[@UNKNOWN-bp8it]

The beginning reminded me of part of a Chon song, Pitch Dark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXzWpn-vbN-HjdE

[@hamzamagsi9428]

Hey! Another Chon fan

[@JCLolerz]

there's a video of Mario playing this song too kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5nQZICrnb6citU

[@JonErikKellso]

love it!

[@impolitikful]

so sick

[@corbin71]

wow that is genius

[@antocarino1]

yeah!!!

[@samuelsmith9539]

I've got this fine until 1:33 fingerpicking, and I can probably even hybrid pick it with some work...and then it's just out the window. how the hell is he picking with that kind of dexterity while recruiting all three of his other fingers? it's like he's changing his picking style completely for these faster hybrid passages, eliminating all wrist action, and just using his fingers to manipulate the pick. that's...gonna take some work.

[@Quinceps]

Playing Etude 4 first sounds like a good idea.

[@12amac]

Is the guitar you're playing a Collings D1A by chance? Really amazing playing. A pleasure to listen to and watch.

[@xgrizzlyx93]

I hope I didn't jinx this but, 290 likes and 0 dislikes THAT'S rad. Oh and I subscribed, because you're fucking amazing.

[@RomainVuillemin]

nice stuff !!

[@vifa1069MW3]

Virtuoso nada mas,uauuuu,joan, Catalonia free,💕💕❤️

[@jazz1bro]

Interesting and definitely not easy!

[@javicrowley]

hermoso!

[@oldjellico]

How about a mandolin etude?! That little guy just looks so lonely over there on the wall... ; )

[@manabozho]

OK, Tatum and Tristano de-coupled their left hands from their right, but now you're de-coupling your right hand from itself? Very nice complex counterpoint. Gypsy-ish mood. Moves!

[@CristinaPenaMinnow]

Anybody knows how can I get the tabs please?

[@patrefkorwa9371]

The 3rd bar and further are they polyrhythm??

[@sihuasinfuzzion9224]

Ohhh mi cerebro, esta genial pero me costará entender mejor estos ritmos.

[@richardwaterman1625]

Wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow

[@ideath173]

Here's what to watch when you think you're getting good at guitar

[@NapoleanXV]

[@cuppalightroast]

What happened to this series??

[@sacitmanav]

[@itsdatgooeytho]

sounds like an acoustic cover out of Donkey Kong 64 at the begining

[@mistercath]

dude, do you have a tab of this?

[@119FU]

Learn to read music.

[@mistercath]

+119FU I ended up having to for this piece.

[@119FU]

Awesome, keep at it. It'll be worth it in the long run. btw is there sheet music for this?

[@mistercath]

+119FU yeah sure is just Google it

[@119FU]

Thank you kind sir!

[@JacobWellman]

@agarfield2004 this guy has plenty of nice paying gigs ;)

[@prsoon]

it'd be funny if he did one on the toilet

[@relaxingchannel3928]

?!?!?!?!

[@alexandersierra2097]

what chords you use ..?

[@GrappelliconcertoinG]

I want to see you play the petit bouche in the corner of the frame!

[@CaptainJazz262]

this is the only time I've ever heard him frack a note

[@agarfield2004]

You know, you're pretty dern good. Get some nice paying gigs and you might just be able to afford a camera that records in COLOR one day. ;)

[@sediment-shapedsediment5397]

I'm going to transcribe this deal for piano, but (at least at first glance) there isn't really any improv going on...and it's not like he's using crazy chords and weird intervals. The opening is just an C#m triad (2nd inv.) with an ostinato outlining the m9 chord, then Am (CM works too) with the ostinato outlining the triad. That said, it's a tasteful etude and serves its purpose. Also, I'm skeptical of 'gifts', but I will say: "practice is not the same as enlightenment."

[@wrocklin]

Ugh, this makes me want to quit the guitar ; )
