Julian Lage Day and Age 9/3/22 in Detroit, MI

[@AdventureWithin]

Julian got me over a 10 year guitar hiatus. Just emulating some of his licks made all things possible again. I can get lost in it - that was always my goal.

[@grahamaldridge]

I think this is my new favourite version of this. What a masterclass in dynamics.

[@AdventureWithin]

💯

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Wow. His creativity seems to know no bounds. Just an incredible meeting of brain, creativity and playing ability. 🙏

[@MrSphinxster]

There are a lot incredible guitar virtuosi out there, but few have the both the technique, taste, and feel of Julian. Man this was great.

[@sebastiansullivan4770]

also that versatile improv

[@pudgekim]

How have I not heard of him ever..... I need to go outside more, fking incredible

[@elrafa782]

This man… no word… as good as humble, stratospheric in every way. Crazy what he can do with a Tele ! Thanks

[@msmucr]

So great :) I dig Julian played there his Tele again. Not that I didn't like his Gretsch like guitar, archtop or so, but somewhat to me the Tele feels like extension of his mind, he's so articulate and expressive with it. Love it.

[@demejiuk5660]

I also loved his archtop. I think it’s great that he has recorded with such a wide range of guitars.

[@rovalla456]

my mind is blown everytime i hear him play

[@jeffstanton5526]

There's LOTS of great guitarists in the world. None of them are better than this genius.

[@TheAdamBates]

This man playing directly into a Deluxe Reverb and has more dynamics, touch, feel, and just sounds than you'd ever think was possible. I'm certainly inspired!

[@rong648]

And using the normal input.

[@siitan83]

Amp dont matter, its the fingers

[@demejiuk5660]

Sorry what’s the significance of the Deluxe Reverb? I thought it was one of the best amps.

[@TheAdamBates]

@@demejiuk5660 the significance is that he’s playing solo directly into an amp with minimal to no pedals, and still his lines are solid, tone is massive, and dynamic. If you have ever played live solo or with a band, it’s intimidating to have no extra reverb or delays to cover up messups. Julian is just that great.

[@demejiuk5660]

​@@TheAdamBates Doesnt he usually do that but with a Fender Champ 57? It's possible that he usually plays directly into a little Fender Champ 57 which he then mics up. And as for tone without pedals....that's literally what every jazz guitarist that influenced Julian Lage did up until the 60s. Pedals in jazz werent really a thing until fusion came in. So the quintessential clean jazz tone....is clean, no pedals. And don't get me wrong he is one of my favourite gutiarists and I think his tone and dynamics are amazing but that's in his fingers not in his gear i thought that was obvious.

[@josemolina959]

A unique Artist! His sound, his tone, his fluency, and he touches your heart. Love him! 😎👍👍👍🎼🎵🎶🎸🎶🎵🎼

[@stefanfreiling9233]

I have to agree- the Telecaster is his guitar.He sounds great on his Collings, no doubt, but THIS fluidity, THESE dynamics…unbelievable. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece of guitar playing.

[@GordoVolador]

the type of thing that makes you just smile, thank you for sharing

[@MOROVALERIA]

Capo total! Saludos desde Bariloche, Patagonia Argentina

[@DARKLYLIT]

Closer to being FREE more than any guitarist I've ever seen. So much JOY!

[@joefranz6285]

I didn’t make it to Detroit on Saturday and I was so bummed. I couldn’t be more thankful that you posted this. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@ChromaMoma]

I'm such a fan. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheGreatKlausby]

I don’t even have words for this anymore.

[@sparkomatic]

I do: Frisell

[@CharlesPDog]

I still prefer listening to him play the tele! Thanks!

[@coma13794]

1:30 to 1:50 what an absolutely filthy transition. Genius.

[@user-qk2cy5fk6u]

With love to this great artist from Jerusalem!

[@matteotheyoutubeuser]

Absolutely mesmerizing

[@CochiseGE]

Thanks for sharing this. I was at the show in Jazz Fest. Wish I could've made it to the masterclass.

[@derrickholmes2586]

Awesome....just fabulous.

[@markdouglas1994]

this is frig'in awesome!

[@Joebro200]

I'm surprised I have never seen Julian play through Milkman amps. They are from San Francisco and I know he grew up around there. They are incredible 60's Fender sounding amps to me. All hand made. Check em out!

[@dcaudwell]

He often uses Magic Amps I believe (also hand-made in CA). Re-created, hand-wired, PR and DR amps that are as close to vintage specs as humanly possible but with better speakers, transformers and other components. Julian’s sound is so clean and open I’m not sure Milkman would be a good fit, great as they are. They have a bit of a distinctive Milkman burr on edge-of-breakup and it seems Julian also favours more headroom than he’d get it of the smaller Milkmans.

[@James-S3]

That nacho “tele” is 🔥

[@UnboundOdysseus]

Incredible performance

[@adeypoos]

What a joy!

[@zaldum386]

Genio

[@mitmo1596]

The guitar has found its human

[@reckon104]

Thanks so much for this!

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Damn I love this guys sound and playing. His playing kinda reminds me of Danny Gatton a bit

[@SONOMA_VALLEY_TOM]

Superb!

[@patrickhuhn9193]

Amazing.

[@conradcuevas7030]

incredible

[@or9481]

Beautiful.

[@Safety-MediaDesign]

Meisterhaft- Great!!!

[@darrenlee7851]

mannn.... it's so good....

[@matt_greene]

What a living legend. Imagine picking up a tele directly into a fender tube amp and just playing that magic

[@dcaudwell]

A lot of his peers play with pedals and amp distortion and lose the transparency, touch and dynamics that Julian seems to revel in.

[@emlyngriffith5846]

I play a G&L ASAT through a 70s Fender pro reverb……and it sounds Nothing like that! ☹️….he really is a superb player 👍🍷

[@letsdanceonhere]

So cool.

[@JackFlaps]

he so obviously enjoys playing

[@elisabettariello1314]

😘Greetings from Rome

[@dmitrit81]

Nice sound

[@Boylieboyle]

Phenomenal.

[@christianlacheze3323]

What a delight

[@John-rb3yv]

After that pause at 3:24........ wow

[@dbakes111]

Very Nice!

[@MojoPapiFPV]

Wow

[@josephezell2817]

Hey where was this show at ? I live in wyandotte downriver from the D. Wish I would have known about this one. Just recently got into his music. So good

[@DN-jf5qp]

Hi-this was a workshop at a hotel next to Hart Plaza downtown. His trio played at the jazz festival later in the afternoon.

[@dananthony6258]

How does he slide into notes without moving his fingers is what I want to know. This guy isn’t human .

[@Quinceps]

I love this guitarist. However, I’m more into his old classic style études.

[@michael350p6]

Nice ballroom

[@CreamyBone]

Pick it Son!

[@Robinson8491]

Superblues

[@tomokaj1183]

P90 on the neck position... what happened to him?

[@-Atmos1]

Interesting

[@sevenstringsamurai]

I wonder how a lesson in a class would look like with him. i dont even know what just happend here

[@farko63]

A Julian mavvaff.....

[@MusicofDeHaro]

Nice playing and he needs a foot stool.

[@robinpowers3602]

apparently not though

[@paxlvr]

Seriously...

[@giancarlogiaccone9021]

Una promessa mantenuta

[@pawlowski6132]

WTF? Where in Detroit? Ugghh.

[@DN-jf5qp]

Hi Joe-the trio played at the jazz festival downtown on Saturday of Labor Day weekend and this is from a workshop that took place prior to the concert.

[@pawlowski6132]

@@DN-jf5qp Ahh. I was out of town. Rats. Thanks for the info.

[@That52TeleGuy]

My guess is this was somewhere in the RenCen as you are looking west down the river. I did not know he was in town recently.
