Julian Lage Performs "We'll Meet Again" by Vera Lynn | Fender Artist Check-In | Fender

[@TimLerchGuitar]

Perhaps the most creative and prodigious guitarist alive right now!

[@DARKLYLIT]

Ahem....YES!! :)

[@DoglessEndeavor]

He's an amazing talent and I'm a huge fan, but this statement is an odd one when Bill Frisell, Nels Cline, John McLaughlin, John Scofield etc. are all still very much alive.

[@TimLerchGuitar]

@@DoglessEndeavor Just my opinion.

[@antoniocece]

👏🏻 an inspiring spirit, an endless source of genuine creativity mixed up with the finest technique and honest playing imho ✌🏻

[@doume116]

With Sylvain Luc

[@kevindaly5093]

All of his undeniable musical talent aside, Julian just strikes me as an incredibly thoughtful and genuine human being. As a guitarist of over 40 years, I appreciate his personal attitude equally to his musicianship. Thanks for setting such a positive tone Julian. You are truly appreciated.

[@bobbybinks3886]

This has become a much more meaningful piece given her recent passing. RIP Vera Lynn

[@fender]

🙌

[@nilsx3020]

I'm really, really impressed with Fender's marketing team, the artists they feature from Julian Lage, Tom Morello to Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine and countless others, all innovators. Also embracing guitarists' guitarists like Ariel Posen and Josh Smith. Staying relevant in such an impressive way. Compare that to Gibson's KZbin channel artists these days and their spokespeople... Anyone know what I mean? Even the visual side is so clean and sleek.

[@photopicker]

I'm here for the music.

[@nguquaxanguyen5224]

gibs is a trainwreck. whatever talent they have they pour it into the pursuit of pathetic lawsuits

[@lukewestondev]

Chill on my boy mark

[@jspic4907]

The final nail in the Gibson coffin for me was when they got Mark Agnesi. A used car salesman, if there ever was one.

[@xtheunknown6717]

Nice little cubby hole he found.

[@ToniPanagu]

His humility and calmness makes him more charming to watch and listen to. He's just so pure.

[@davidzaharik5408]

I love it... I love watching guitarists who smile, who don't look like they are constipated but loving their instrument!

[@druchumley4571]

I have been playing guitar for almost 40 years. Julian just taught me something very important: I have been asleep the entire time. He is a master of the instrument, and we can all aspire to reach his level.

[@radikai]

I feel the same way. Since discovering him I’ve made a discipline of feeling as deeply as I can when I play, and it’s opened things up so much creatively…playing feels less like an intellectually punishing puzzle-solving effort and more like pouring my heart out to a loved one.

[@klapaucjusz1]

His control of the instrument is truly amazing. His dynamic range is off the charts. And I like his sound on a blackface amp better than on a tweed.

[@geralr]

This was so awesome, Julian Lague should do more solo guitar! He’s the Ted Greene of our generation

[@trentc7329]

Have you seen this solo improv? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXq9k2qjd8t3gKM

[@geralr]

Trent China that was great. Thank you!

[@jorgetenamusic]

He is indeed a master, one of my new guitar heroes. If you love Ted Greene, please check Tim Lerch's playing too, he is amazing.

[@geralr]

jorgetenamusic yep, he’s awesome as well I also listen to his stuff thanks!!

[@xtheunknown6717]

But he has a totally different style than Ted, Julian is into three or less notes where Ted prefers a more all in one thing, the whole band. Players like Julian, Frisell, Gilad Hekselman leave a lot more for the listener to imagine and make up, more interactive.

[@jamesgeng2213]

Man even this guys voice is soothing LOL matches his guitar timbre

[@Grillmouth]

You know I was just thinking about that last night. Watching a Bill Frisell interview, his speaking and playing are very similar. There's definitely something to it!

[@flyvox6411]

Thank you so much for checking in with us Julian. You're one of the greatest. Please keep the music going, we need it more than ever in times like these. I miss seeing you play with Margaret. Hope you're all staying safe. Signature Julian Lage Tele someday soon please Fender!

[@quicklynamed]

I could practice 24 hours a day for 628 years, and I'd only be half that good. A true virtuoso. Julian, Bill Frisell, Jim Campilingo . . . all are amazing tele ambassadors.

[@jorgetenamusic]

Julian is a master, he can play in so many different environments and always has something amazing to communicate!!

[@jroblesventura]

On june 18th, 2020, Vera Lynn passed away at 103 years old. We’ll meet again is my favorite song from her and in this quarantine this song was so importan. Thanks for the great cover.

[@fender]

🙌

[@amandahammond2691]

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that “We would meet again some sunny day”? Vera! Vera! What has become of you? Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?

[@wolfganggursky4483]

Last time Johnny Marr and Now Julian Lage!! Love these Artist Check-Ins series. Thank you Fender!!

[@brownsfan7753]

What a Gentlemen! I feel blessed to be able to hear playing like this!!

[@rdmkeytohwy]

Wow! I have heard about this guy for awhile and decided to check him out. Very impressed. Very fluid player with a great tone. Love it that he uses a telecaster to get all of those beautiful tones. Phenomenal player, going to check out more of his stuff. Seems like a really good soul, too. We need more of that right now that's for sure.

[@realgoodmind]

Fender you need more artists like Julian and but your backing behind them. He should be the biggest guitarist in the world. It;s amazing what he can do.

[@ChrisDeVis12345]

They played this song on my grandma’s funeral. Great performance Julien 🌿

[@albertpsaros3435]

I actually love/prefer hearing Julian by himself...nothing to distract from the purity of his playing

[@titobattaglia7932]

Aw! No-one will want to record an Artist Check-In after this (no disrespect to anyone)! Julian you’re amazing! Cheers to you!

[@rl2905]

Man I love this guy's playing.

[@YawpMusic]

"We'll Meet Again" was written by Ross Parker and Hughie Charles. Vera Lynn sang it.

[@dariosaviors]

Thank you Julian, thank you Fender! That Tele is softly sparking in your hands.. wonderful.

[@norbertogustavoblanco1700]

Está muy bueno. ¿Y qué usa allí, flat o roundwoud, 0.10 o 0.11?

[@becomingamusician2010]

A fellow musician friend recommended this video to me near Christmas in recent months, and I'm so glad I watched this! As someone who hadn't found a way among many to actually understand what notes are on which fret positions, I struggled so much with practicing. And around the time I checked out this video, I spent a little time thinking about the guitar, and suddenly it hit me that practicing those single notes on the left hand like in the video would really help me! Recently I've been able to find some melodies I sing on the right fret positions, and I added the right hand. It feels amazing☺️

[@rodneykitchen3869]

Knowing what this songs meaning is for us Brits and it's effect it has on us Brits, in WW11, Vera Lynn is 103 years old right now (2020) and had such inspiration to those folk back then, Julian you are a maestro and such a pleasure to listen to -- Thank you so much ! Rod in London

[@isabellelaval7294]

I'm a 71 year old Frenchwoman listening in and it brought back so many memories and tears just remembering older British friends ( RIP) who are gone now and who adored her!

[@DandamanV]

He just gets to lost in the moment, it's wonderful to watch! Truly a musician in connection with his instrument.

[@vasilshkutov2890]

Just wonderful. Outstanding playing combined with such taste and musical feel. I am so happy we have him.

[@mozowayed]

Where do you begin with Julian Lage? Not just one of the most brilliant and original guitarists but also seems like the nicest guy you'll ever meet.

[@cironicholas526]

That plant doesn't get watered, it feeds off of Julian's playing

[@adart2496]

It's a rubber plant, I think. Doesn't need too much water - just music!

[@jhesbol]

Thank you so much for this. I am actually working up to playing solo guitar at a wedding this weekend. It is definitely not something I do on a regular basis and has been a source of anxiety. But working through songs has been cathartic. I’ve trusted the melody knowing that if that comes out than whatever I choose as accompaniment will be fine. Joe Pass I am not, but Jonathan Hesbol I am and your comments are warmly received. Thank you.

[@fender]

Hope the gig went well, Jonathan! Practice makes progress!

[@ciscocisco3791]

I've just discovered Julian Lange. What a gift 🙏 The way he lives his music is fantastic! Love these moments when he breathes heavily and when sounds/notes come out from his mouth. Million thanks ❤️

[@jzwrkr]

Bravo Fender for donations and the platform. thanks to J. for breathing positivity and hope thru touchingly unique playing .

[@collinshephard9255]

I think his perspective on creating art is so right. Just working on a piece of music and then just letting what comes out, come out. So often I'm judging what I'm doing as its happening in real time, and I think it's so important to live moment to moment whatever it is I'm playing, and just be okay with the fact this is where my preparation has lead me. I'm thankful for him as an artist. He's inspiring.

[@NickGranville]

One of my favourite guitar players and such a nice chap too

[@LeoAramDownsMusic]

He looks and speaks like the protagonist of a Pixar movie and I love him all the more for that

[@hathaway.1166]

He really should have a cameo in Soul smh

[@LeoAramDownsMusic]

@@hathaway.1166 oh my god LOL, I want a sequel dedicated to that now

[@ninefingerstudio9237]

Thank you Julian. You are an inspiration. I learn more from watching you for 5 minutes than any other way I learn about music and guitar. Thank you

[@musik102]

Vera certainly didn't compose this song but, I think she is still with us at 100 yrs plus. Lovely performance.

[@vedder10]

That was beautiful. You sound fantastic solo. Love a Fender Telecaster for clean jazzy type sounds and in the hands of a fantastic player. Thanks for a really great video.

[@Casey_J96]

Agreed! Telecasters make great jazz guitars! Tim Lerch is another solo jazz player who’s quite dangerous with a Tele!

[@photopicker]

He's sporting a heavier set of strings. It's a great sound. Has been for 60+ years now.

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

I believe both Grant Green and Jim Hall played telecasters as well. Such a versatile guitar, so many genres, a beautiful music maker!!

[@teunio501]

Wow, this man is plays fabulous.

[@1Ma9iN8tive]

From New Zealand ... all the loves Julian.

[@giff06]

Wonderful piece by a wonderful player. Something that popped in my head while listening ......You do realize this closed the '60's movie Dr. Strangelove as the atomic bombs were exploding on the screen. Thanks Jules....'til we meet again!

[@dhruvpendharkar488]

I have a bad bad attention span but theres something this guy has that doesnt make me skip his talking.

[@timwarneka5681]

What a lovely man. And that run at 2:20-ish. Lord!

[@studioheathco]

Julian is guitar, to me. Absolutely my favorite living player. He truly embodies what it means to PLAY the instrument.

[@carlmally6292]

The first I heard of Julian was when he appeared with Chris Eldridge at a tiny venue near my home. About 40 or 50 people in the audience and up close it was amazing from both of them. The other younger player I know of who is comparable to Julian is Grant Gordy. Anyone who says "there ain't no good music being made these days" needs to set and listen to stuff like this.

[@stratmad]

Even the intro itself was jaw dropping. I heard no train wrecks or if there was then I wish i played nothing but train wrecks every time. Stay safe Julian.

[@uyuyuy_bajura]

I loved every single second of this. Once again thanks Julian!!!!

[@jamesflack8624]

I loved his reaction when he pulled off the harp harmonic... It was like :"Nailed it!"😁 Beautiful...

[@yamacorsoglu827]

Thank you Julian, you inspire every time!

[@airstreamnomads]

Why there hasn't been a Julian Lage signature Telecaster I will never understand.

[@xtheunknown6717]

Maybe because he plays Nacho teles?

[@nathanricker1]

All the more reason. A lot of their signature series are.

[@owenhu9465]

Julian has got 2 signature guitars (acoustic OM and a gretsch style) with Collings, so it might be contractually binding in some way? I doubt it and I hope not because I would love an "affordable" Julian Lage signature fender tele! :D

[@darkvillin]

Can anyone tell me what that brown/cream box is on top of his fender amp behind him?

[@airstreamnomads]

darkvillin that is a universal Audio OX Reactive Amp Attenuator. It will change your friggin life.

[@petergeo9446]

Well that cheered me up no end. +1 Tweed Champ in the background. Sweet.

[@FrancisCaetano]

I'm a fan of those tones. Thank you, Lage!

[@richguitarucci3193]

insanely good.... as usual. I wish he woudl do a solo album of this type of stuff.

[@Nedwin]

Music and book. Yeaah, Julian Lage nailed it! Always love him as a musician and personal.

[@DanCThorpe]

The tone on that guitar is incredible (the playing too obvs)

[@brandoningersoll5034]

He is, actually, a genius...and such a sweet soul..

[@guitartech]

Lovely-and particularly encouraging at this difficult time. Thanks, Julian!

[@markdeutschlander697]

I can't imagine a train wreck coming from those fingers. Thanks for sharing this and for your kind and compassionate words.

[@robertyork8779]

Thank you for the wonderful performance, kind, honest words and energy. Great insight

[@fender]

🙌

[@adolfosilva3883]

The perfect guitarist.

[@johanblock7844]

Very beautiful.Thank you. My favorite electric guitar also. Nice.

[@igordemoraeslenzi]

When the Julian Lage tele is coming?

[@TimothyPage06]

Incredible musicianship from Julian, as always!

[@jayfeser5259]

Thanks Julian. Absolutely beautiful. This made my day so much better.

Magnificent. Thanks for playing and sharing. Take care of yourself. The GREAT MUSIC needs you...

[@rowanpuigdavis374]

Thank you for your kindness!

[@gangnamstylegrandpa6352]

Well , that made me very humble ! The style , note choice , SMOOTH genius playing leaves me feel like , or rather why did I want to play guitar ? Truly Beautiful video !

[@photopicker]

All good things come in time. But you have to chase it. It won't serve you without showing up.

[@samrotschild]

He really loves to play, and you can see it and hear it

[@CJeanMi]

Vraiment excellent de créativité..de qualité de son..de jeu...J'adore..♥♥

[@SYguitar]

第一次听Julian Lage的演奏就被吸引了,绝美的演奏~!

[@JimPoston1]

Julian... Hi from Texas! Thanks for posting this video! I have been very impressed with your playing since the first time I heard you some years ago. Great inspiration! And of course "the Telecaster".... what a great guitar. Best Always, jp

[@PaulSmith-qz2re]

I see that little champ up there

[@micsunday14]

🤩

[@stevenbeechey]

Sending love to you and yours Jules, all the way from New Zealand.

[@newtagwhodis4535]

I absolutely loved this piece thank you, Adrian. And thank you for the wonderful introduction, it made me smile during a worrying time in my life.

[@PlayLikeTheGreatscom]

Dear Guitarists, I *transcribed* the whole thing today, for *Tabs + Sheet Music + Chords* in full detail. It's up on my website now :D

[@remyepinoux-freshmind7729]

I bet you're already working on "EMily" released 1 hour ago ;-)

[@nickmarble7226]

Wow

[@crieverytim]

wow, incredible site, thanks!!!

[@dbguitarlessons8737]

I love that you are transcribing so much of Julian. Hope you will do the same for "Emily"!

[@phish1]

I have a goal of learning 20 JL tunes in 2020. I can only do it bc of your site. Your transcriptions are brilliant.

[@deekos4578]

Truly great phrasing, timing and beautiful melodic invention and construction - and no huge pedalboard! Wonderful! 👍👍👍

[@micsunday14]

Pedal board schmedal board. It's all music. As long as there is no click track 😉

[@dr05guitar]

Julian has quite a way with the guitar... so good!!

[@StephenLewisful]

Hey Julian. I’m from way down south, you know, Santa Rosa. I’ve been watching since Bill Bowker presented your documentary at the Raven Theatre. The predictions then were that you were going to be great. You did not disappoint. Glad you’re well and I’ll see ya round town, if you still live up here.

[@bucketofbarnacles]

Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you, Julian.

[@Kananond]

Thank you Julian, you always inspire

[@chris_2714]

Beautiful! This is just what I needed to hear today!

[@marcusvaldes]

Saw him in concert with that little Champ amp up on the shelf a few years ago in Atlanta. Got to talk to him afterwards. Wonderful person! Thanks for the mini-concert Julian. I wish I was as cool as you :)

[@paulhicks3595]

So, so beautiful. Thank you.

[@orfeaskommatas146]

Wow. Absolutely amazing, i`m glad i can see you play in your own space. Every piece you play comes so delicate into my ears it`s a blessing. (That last harmonic though, haha )

[@thetoughones]

He grunts like a tennis player. I like it a lot.

[@paulerxx]

Vera by Pink Floyd is what some people are feeling atm :/ "Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that We would meet again Some sunny day? Vera, Vera What has become of you Does anybody else in here Feel the way I do?"

[@jhshelljr]

Spectacular arrangement and playing

[@sannojohasshu7590]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing your love.

[@DaveLeoni]

Yeah man! And what a great tune. It was always a haunting tune for me, because of Dr. Strangelove. Thank you.

[@grahamaldridge]

This is just absolutely beautiful. Stunning.

[@jega157]

Bravo! And thank you.

[@katznik]

Great playing! Ironic as I just broke my acetabular, I love listening to Julian, and there’s an acetabular and Julian in one video.

[@DaveLeoni]

Awesome, man! I love that tune, as well.

[@srinip]

He's already a great solo artist in my book.

[@ninefingerstudio9237]

thank you...you are an inspiration. beautiful playing.when this is all over come back to nashville please,

[@gutplucker]

What a phenomenon!

[@edcherry9282]

I just watched this again,that guitar sounds like a piano..the tone of the instrument snd the way it’s being played..

[@parkbenchwarrior3366]

the touch & tone makes feel as if everything is ok
