Julian Lage - Guitar Power

[@daddarioandco]

Check out one of our latest episodes of Guitar Power, featuring jazz guitarist Nir Felder: ddar.io/NirFelder

[@AdamLeeGuitarist]

What a beautiful, gentle spirit he is - I'm almost as in awe of his character as I am of his incomprehensibly advanced musical ability.

[@SmiTTyy-sh8nc]

Adam Lee , well stated !!

[@Jumbs146]

His take on Autumn leaves is awesome

[@DavideSchachterJazz]

His take on ANYTHING is awesome! ;)

[@SeanAsheOfficial]

My favorite guitar player for the past year or so. Can't help but smile when I hear him play guitar. So musical

[@katythekyng]

he is a delight

[@SiggyMe]

He is a master of tone, phrasing, and melodic movements.......wow......Every time I listen to him I am blown away.

[@scaredypicker]

I'm not a big fan of jazz music, but when this guy plays guitar I just have to sit and listen. Amazing tone and articulate playing.

[@MtnLiner]

scaredypicker he has a lot of Ted Green in his playing. Google ted green and get his books. Chord Chemistry.

[@shashankchauhan5009]

I feel ya, brother.

[@Updog89]

I’m such a fan of Alain as an interviewer. He does such a great job making people comfortable, inviting them to be playful, is very humble and is a great player himself.

[@brokenbuffalo5608]

I want to be his best friend. So soft spoken, polite, honest, and a spectacular guitarist. Kudos on this episode, was a joy to watch.

[@heftyjay1]

+Matt Lekivetz Yes! Thanks Christ he ain't another Joe Bonamassa.

[@nsiepmann]

I love how light his touch is - just enough and no more. Beautiful stuff, and a great addition to this series I've been enjoying so much recently!

[@rookymusic6310]

Like a great jazz pianist, he’s mastered the full spectrum of raw natural sounds of the guitar, making it an orchestra unto itself. Gorgeous playing.

[@Ehzah8]

wow dude is super friendly and chill

[@RyanjmatthewsII]

After last night......discovering Julian Lage has a truly been a beautiful reprieve from such sadness. Thank you.

[@TheFunkyCriminal]

ive never heard anyone tell stories through music like julian lage is able to. this guy is such an inspiration

[@tyharris3263]

Julian came to my college and taught a jazz masterclass, this man is beyond a genius. You should have seen the way he played and his thought process.

[@brandanladikos6406]

you lucky lucky son of a gun!

[@ReegusReever]

Julian is just passing peacefully through our dimension until he reaches his next destination. Thanks for stopping by, mate.

[@Pandamasque]

After watching ep.2 this one's like an antidote!

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

+Pan Damasque Amen brother!!

[@aldo_mores]

3 out of my 4 all-time-favourite albums ever are his. Thanks for doing what you do, Julian. And thanks D'addario for uploading this!

[@hiroprotagonitis]

Brilliant, brilliant player. Quite possibly the best one this series will ever feature. Mad respect.

[@MartinCliffe]

Amazing talent, never come across him before but I'll certainly investigate further. Thank you for remembering to mic up the amp this time!

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

Wow. A 5 year old being taught the pentatonic in 5 positions and look what he turned into.

[@newgunguy4176]

Teachers, take note.

I thought Tosin Abasi was commenting until I saw your name haha

[@iwillnevergetone5]

Aaron Rios well that's a little fucked up

[@aaronrios6470]

Take it as a compliment, Tosin is one hell of a guitar player

[@leonardcrainie9928]

What a humble guy . great chops !

[@bubsadoozy]

Hands down the most impressive guitarist in this video series.

[@kevinmccluskey8899]

What an incredible all around person and artist.

[@daddarioandco]

Couldn't agree more!

[@qwargy]

My dream scenario - I'm at home relaxing on the sofa - it's freezing and raining outside. I'm reading a good book, with a hot chocolate, and my pup is snuggled up alongside me. In the next room, Julian is playing Autumn Leaves, and a bunch of other jazz standards.

[@SmiTTyy-sh8nc]

Tone clarity and very clean flowing progressions, like water flowing !!!

[@ldmixer4228]

This guy is really amazing, I like his thoughts in Jazz improvisation

[@khangenbamavanjit122]

Even when Julian plays pentatonics, the way his hands move....even that's different...I've spent every last ounce of musical and muscular energy I had left in learning this subtlety!

[@armorgiraffe]

He is such a softspoken guy!

[@javiceres]

Cause he's a master of dynamics

[@RockOfGreece]

What he said about Elliot smith is so true. Such an underrated rogue guitarist

[@akeithing1841]

That made me so happy when he mentioned him. Elliott was just his own little universe of music. Made darkness so beautiful!

[@austinbach6178]

I remember back in 1999 at Sonoma State, we were all college jazz majors and during a class in walks Julian and his dad. He proceeded to take some classes and always seemed to solo with a smile on his face completely immersed in the music........oh yea he was probably 10-11?

[@SurelyUR]

Thank you, Alain, for all the music you brought into this world so far...you are a great inspiration.

[@carld2796]

This guy can make anything sound better than it's supposed to be. Really enjoy his playing.

[@Zeal808]

Damn these videos were so fun a few years ago. Really made me wanna grab my guitar

[@Noisehead101]

I wonder what he sounds like when he whispers

[@darkphoton7990]

@Andrew Erdowonge 😂

[@JohnsDough1918]

Julian Lage ASMR, coming soon on the KZbins

[@carguy3460]

I find his humility refreshing.

[@vacant4]

@@JohnsDough1918 he does have a pretty relaxing voice.

[@mrmotomoto]

Reminds me of Prince and how he, too, would talk

[@gettinguponthe1]

i've seen Julian live 3 times now, and he is so incredibly gifted. it's really unfair. he is better than any active guitar player (in my humble opinion) and he's still so young! also, you should have Guthrie Govan on!!!!

[@brandanladikos6406]

YES YES YES! This guy gets it!

[@jeffwolinski2659]

His fingers just flow across the fretboard with such ease, and it just looks so different from everyone else. He seemingly has no limits.

[@wartimemodels]

My first exposure to this guy. Love it. Can't wait to explore his work more. He couldn't come off more down to Earth and humble.

[@coma13794]

I hope you’re still following, coz he’s killing it.

[@MrMusicguyma]

Julian is excellent at blues, jazz, bluegrass, gypsy, and probably anything he wants.

[@burntumber561]

The intro sounds like dial-up internet.

[@shashankchauhan5009]

Gary guess I’m the only engineer who got what you said, huh b(a)ud?

[@MarsLonsen]

that was tense XD

[@javiceres]

Play it at x0.25 speed, seriously

[@JohnnyBargeldBoom]

Wow, so humble and the passion for our instrument is so honest. I can identify with him, except that he's billion times better than me. Great guy, great guitarist!

[@jorgetenamusic]

Such an amazing player! I've been listening to him for a while, he is incredible!

[@atree88]

Inspirational nerdery.

[@ryboul]

HE IS SO SWEET AND KIND I CAN'T

[@waytoomanyguitars]

Amazing player! And such an incredible jazz tone on a Tele. What a genuine spirit!

[@James.D]

BRILLIANT MADNESS going on in those first 45 seconds.

[@spitgorge2021]

hell yeah someone whos into it

[@michaelrainbow4203]

Such intelligence. The most intelligent player I've ever witnessed.

[@jeffreymatz]

How fun...one of my favorite players of today interviewed by one of my favorite players when I was in high school.

[@DaveSteele07]

He has amazing dynamics!

[@dwebster50]

This is so cool .....This guy is real ...both of them .... I better start practising scales ... Its great to hear a tele , reminds me of Ted Green's love of a Tele....Love of guitar is so so amazing ...

[@kaiansanttos867]

Sooo beautiful!!! this song coming from this guy's hands!

[@MrBrynstar]

my favorite episode. This man is amazing

[@bbmorgendorffer]

what a soft angel

[@sirpsycho85]

Huge smile from Julian Lage mentioning Elliott Smith :)

[@stephenplante2273]

Does anybody know what the last chord he ended on was? So open sounding and lethargic

[@Hyperbion7]

5 7 3 6 9 #11 in ascending order to the key or: F A D G C E. Basically a Imaj9#11 with a 5 in the bass.

[@JonSebastianF]

Fmaj13 (1 0 0 0 1 0) First, strum slowly, then pick a few of the octave harmonics :)

[@johngrunwell6101]

I. LOVE. THE. INTERNET.

[@JonSebastianF]

John Grunwell SO. DO. I.

[@alesharks5135]

Gonna be late for a date, cause I can't stop watching these!

[@soofitnsexy]

fuck the stupid date,,,,idiot.

[@mkf628]

Lage's sound is the definition of 'edge of breakup' for me. Tone for days.

[@slinkyphil]

This what happens when you really study music. Imagine the possibilities... I want to be free too

[@Zeal808]

Exactly, freedom

[@zaldum386]

He is just incredible

[@MrDaigoRiki]

What a nice guy with enormous talent.

[@joycesanders4898]

..the sheer Power of those guitars.

[@boozoochavis7506]

That intro sounded like what happens when my cats sit in while I am practicing - they love guitar but struggle with it since they don't have "thumbs" as we normally think of them! Nice tele too.

[@holysmokes4493]

Boozoo Chavis that was a good one.

[@BellTunnel]

Going to see him at Berklee in November. He seems very zen. An admirable player and a decent person.

[@SerpenteMacaco]

Such a great interview! I've always been curious about Lage's influences, background, and how does he relate to rock n' roll, but it just seemed no one ever asked the right questions. Until now, that is! Thank you Johaness :)

[@akeithing1841]

When he mentioned Elliott Smith it made me so happy.

[@vegaledorg-sz8ry]

Mr. Lage, Sir, you're awesome! Best wishes for your musical explorations! Truly amazing.

[@jakeweston6973]

what was the name of the last piece he played??

[@EssV_]

@ 4:01 is some of the most intuitive stuff i've ever heard.

[@raywarth972]

does alain polish his head before each episode

[@yuribillones5094]

The guitar polish does not go to waste. -Alain

[@ryanpemberton7056]

Legit thought i had this set to play at 2x speed at the start.

[@dananthony6258]

This isn’t the kind of video you stop watch if you’re a guitar player. I heard someone say he’s the greatest guitarist alive today and it definitely top 5 if not #1.

[@mbmillermo]

What was that last tune? The one that starts at 8:40? It sounds like Django Gershwin.

[@gladysanaya8738]

Goodness, this man.

[@MarioJunkie]

Does anyone know what is the last thing that Julian plays? Amazing musician btw.

[@JonSebastianF]

@@alias_harriet This is just a typical improvisation of his :) Here are the tabs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpOkoKd9gKibmLM

[@dwebster50]

Julian that is so cool....Autumn Leaves , one of my favourites ... I think of Lenny Breau ...my my your version brought a tear to my Heart ...

[@VonBluesman]

Beautiful playing and great choice of songs. Could you please state the size of the neck, fret board radius and fret size ? Thank you.

[@themennissvids]

+VonBluesman I'm not sure how useful you'll find that information but its a fender telecaster. A pretty modern looking one, should be similar to what you'd see on fender's own site. Owning that guitar won't make you play like Julian Lage if that's what you're thinking. I'd recommend practicing, that helps.

[@VonBluesman]

Thanks but that is not what I am thinking, I am Berklee School Of Music alumni, a studio musician, a guitar teacher, and used to play out for a living. I just wanted the neck specks. Myself, I own four Fender Custom Shop Tele's, a 57 Gold Thinline blonde neck, 63 Muddy Waters reissue red with a rosewood neck, La Cabronita Especial Relic with TV Jones pickups black with blonde neck, 51 Nocaster Reissue Dakota red, Relic, with a blonde neck. I do agree with you about practice, it is the only way to get better.

[@themennissvids]

Nice dude! Got an /OK/ Chinese Tele and a lot of time. Workin' on it. :)

[@arnieg65]

Does anyone know what model Tele he's playing? , looks like a 52 RI but they don't come in that color...

[@ggmj7996]

amazing

I wish this one was 20 mins longer

[@jazzman1954]

This guy is a musician. Unlike so many others.

Super! Thanks! I enjoyed a lot and I will enjoy over&over! A great inspiration,hmmm!

[@coryclark9336]

wow. This guy is so great!

[@willsketchesmusic]

Every time I listen to his rendition of Autumn Leaves it makes my eyes water.

[@ThePeace0815]

he seems so nice and understanding, you can see the interviewer enjoying his conversation

[@driesduyck469]

[@ethermod307]

Anyone knows what kind of guitar/pickups does Alain use in this video? Thnx.

[@sergioramos6455]

Amazing!

[@oakiron6455]

so.. Julian says he wants to get better... dude! humble.

Good god. That guy is gifted.

Music is not about life or death...words of wisdom.

[@teresaclaudiacampana6407]

alain johaness. zero ego. great host

[@enzodepaola6160]

is the tele a "baja " model ?

[@soofitnsexy]

yes but the mexican one

[@ryan8779]

ceramic pups?

[@fellow026]

Wow, I get hard on myself sometimes for feeling like I've not done my homework - checking out different artists that I should know, as a musician and guitarist. But then here's Julian saying he somehow missed Hendrix for most of his life!

[@michael.lentsman]

What’s the name of the piece in the opening? Oh, Julian’s tele tone is great!

[@vinnothelizard]

what a man

[@johngrunwell6101]

Having never really enjoyed those jazz guitar sounds coming from the various approaches pioneered by jim Hall/Wes Montgomery/Joe Pass, and having listen to Lage's work on Telecaster, coupled with the amazing tone/virtuosity of Ted Greene, I have to say that I think the Telecaster is the ideal jazz guitar for the smoothest and most pleasant tone.

[@soofitnsexy]

great stuff John!

[@lgoler]

Grow some ears, @John

[@tizmon]

Jules was in such a talkative mood and when he was about to tell us something interesting Charlie Brown kept interrupting him because he thought people wanted to hear him play. Not now, man, not when he wants to talk.

[@javiceres]

What's that Tweed amp? Looks like a Deluxe but it's got 4 knobs... Or so it seems..

[@henrikduende]

Must be the lightest pick strokes in history

[@grantgre]

Why is Julian's guitar breaking up like that's the amp thing or does he have like a little increased gain sounds cool I think that's a cool. It sounds like Ted Green . Almost like a vibrato on the guitar.

[@ObjectObscureMusic]

panagranit pana he uses fender tweed amps, as shown in video, which have more mids and grit than blackface type tones.

[@jacobk4n3]

I could watch him play forever
