Guitarist Extraordinaire Laurence Juber on Playing in Wings

Guitarist extraordinaire Laurence Juber on Paul McCartney, playing in Wings, and breaking down guitar on The Beatles.

I have never heard of Laurence Juber although i did like the Wings in the 70's. I basically discovered him today... what a discovery! Fantastic!

[@Dogtagnan]

A remarkable interview. What a great raconteur

[@70PaulK]

Watching this a couple of days after Paul McCartney's 80th birthday. What a class act!

[@pjwolf-wiemers]

I got to be involved over this pass weekend, virtually, with The Fest For Beatles Fans. Got to know more about Laurence Juber , and have awe and high regards for this man. Wow!

[@carlosbuscatore]

Laurence Juber You´re the best!

[@beachbum4166]

yep

[@MrMellewis]

I was very friendly with his brother Graham and often went round to their house in Exeter Road, Southgate. I recall Laurence practising whenever I was there and his mum saying "It will never lead to anything!" Lovely lady, but how wrong she was! What an amazing guitarist!

[@leekosmin8788]

I did a few gigs with Laurence in a North Finchley based school band. I think in 1968. He was great even then.

Very nice to meet you. We wish you the best ! Jaime & Rosi

Stunning guitarist and fantastic story teller, a pleasure to watch. Its interesting when he said Paul played Michelle with a different chord to the sheet music. As someone that learned everything from song books, you wonder how much the beatles were involved with their making, obviously not much. Jarvis Cocker in an interview with Paul at LIPA asked him this, unfortunately he added to the question that he noticed there were a lot of difficult chords in the beatle songs. Paul only answered this part of the question saying the chords were Jazz chords shown to them from someone they knew in Liverpool. The Beatles in their early days obviously didn't use song books so didn't get how important they are to the solo player.

Absolutely fantastic guitar work and great story telling.💚

[@cavallogianni]

Definitely the best guitarist Paul McCartney ever had

[@jeffkiser9131]

Great stuff....thanks for posting. As a musician, you learn so much more watching stuff like this than dry instructional videos.

[@johnh0595]

Amazing

[@giaconealessandro3930]

He is a magician !

[@ancientart1827]

Jaw dropping. What an incredible musician. The crazy thing is neither John, Paul or George could do what he just did. He plays every fucking note!

[@cavallogianni]

He's amazing

[@marylouoliver5714]

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Lawrence at an early sunday morning beatlefest

[@georgeisaac9european387]

Juber’s work on Al Stewart albums is wonderful.

[@BeatlemaccaAR]

[@johnmccann8319]

He IS the 🥚man!👌

Never take agricultural products in Japan , I’ll remember that one.

Laurence and the last Wings line up make the current touring band that McCartney has look like toilets.

[@kylehallacappellaman3435]

I don't agree with your assessment. Paul's lineup of Wix, Abe, Rusty and Brian is a very smooth, highly talented band! Rusty is a great guitarist. Laurence Juber is certainly a STANDOUT of the Wings band. But that does not take anything away from Rusty's playing lead guitar for the last 17 years!!

[@oldbandguy]

So we have your opinion...and we have Paul McCartney's opinion. :-)

[@davecostello560]

It's personal preference. The current band is highly talented, solid and versatile. Yet it's a bit safe. It lacks the danger and rush of the mid- seventies live Wings. Both Jimmy McCulloch, and his early seventies predecessor Henry McCulloch, were messy, emotional and exciting players.

[@patricksmith4424]

I think Paul's band he did the 1990 tour with, was the one where they gelled the best. Couple of pretenders guitarists in there.

[@davemack7577]

Yes + real Brass Section!

[@dontgoout1434]

Just a poor jose feliciano thing .herb ellis did many in that style much better

[@claudioperotti9439]
