Julian Lage - "Peru" - Collings OM2H T Traditional

[@allenhughes12]

The dynamics alone are worth the listen. Holy cow.

[@giovannicucca2042]

One of the best musicians of our times. Listening to JL is a gift.

[@gillyarchtop]

Julian is a wonderful composer as well as a guitarist. This tune really gets me.

[@jeffs7482]

THAT is the key. There are a million technically competent guitarists. The ones worth listening to are the ones who have the gift of melody. (As usual.)

[@spencer5914]

I think this is the most amazing live acoustic performance I’ve ever seen…

[@jtp9805]

The best thing is he is only 29 years old. He will be making music for many, many years.

[@omtribe5693]

Touch wood

[@joelkeeley793]

29 and already one of the greatest...

[@bradr9581]

@@omtribe5693 Stop it, I'm already hard enough.

[@jada90]

coming from the end of '24 to say you got that right! :)

[@chasingforeverbb]

had such a terrible day, and this made it all better. Julian has become one of my favorite players of all time.

[@CamiloVelandia]

Amazing. His feel and his flow. Geez.

[@fastguitars4380]

You should get the CD......."World's Fair".

[@teddypantelas]

He is a living legend! He was a child prodigy and he’s doing things no one else has been on guitar before. I love his original trio! You’re right We have no idea what this guys going to sound like in the years to come.

[@teddypantelas]

I’ve listen to it so many times, it blows my mind! Great album! I love it, it’s a masterpiece.

[@paulcochrane1028]

Just listened to him play this tune tonight in Glasgow. Other-worldly.

[@sorenjelik]

After few years I came back to listen couple of his songs that i really dig and omg what a talent, pure virtuoso and beautiful melodies incorporated in every tune he makes. That Collins I don't know is there any OM that can compete with it, maybe, but those guys who make them don't do compromise, it is like they use hidden secret luthier knowledge, beautiful guitar with right choice of player.

Greetings from Peru!

This is great. Like short story you remember for years. What a player, and composer.

This guys music is always good fun.

Que maravilloso tema hermano y que orgullo que se llame como mi tierra Perú!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@soyeux27]

Oh man! What a player you are, Julian Lage ! Thank you !

[@walterfingerstyle]

Fantastic playing and sound! Wow!

[@astrodad656]

Your pretty good yourself, Walter!!

[@rogerkunkel1920]

This is the most beautiful thing.

[@johnbrown4568]

That's THE SOUND for me!!! Oh ya...great playing too.....

[@JamesRone]

I'm not jealous of his technical ability (although I'm so far away from it, I can't even recognize the extent of it). I'm jealous of his undiminished self-expression despite having undergone the repetition and drudgery that it takes to acquire that technical ability.

[@hotuan1932]

Absolutely true!

[@willr8836]

Very well said. Totally agree.

[@tokenparade7463]

Interesting perspective, but it's not like this kind of technique or talent can be acquired by brute force. On a fundamental level Lage has always had more musicality, technique etc. than most ever will, but it so clearly flows within him. To him, musical expression is like breathing or walking down the street.

[@JamesRone]

@@tokenparade7463 I agree. I feel like we're saying similar things.

[@tokenparade7463]

@@JamesRone True. I just think it's hard to know what it feels like to be a true savant. Lage practicing scales at the age of 10 might've felt, to him, like every colour in the universe was coming out his guitar, but to the average joe it's drudgery. It's fun to think about anyhow.

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

I know it is in the hands of an incredible musician but that guitar sounds amazing. never heard a non classical sound so articulate over its whole range.

[@bishopsphotography]

Some things in life are not fair. Wonderful instrumentalist & instrument.

[@octaviosobrero6325]

Amazing. His so relax and plays so accurate on a acoustic guitar, I can't imagine him on a electric guitar. Excellent.

[@hiroprotagonitis]

Octavio Sobrero ô boy well then you are due for a world of good son

[@lelov1392]

How can someone be this good??!! Wow!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@fabiobarbati6029]

Just stunning!

[@oldtimeharmonica8560]

His album World Fair is my favorite currently

[@TheFunkyCriminal]

2:30 is literally the only time ive EVER seen him flub a note. and it wasnt even bad. dude is a living legend

[@GoodMusicGoodMood]

I saw him play on a tele (!) with his trio a couple weeks ago and I counted three (3) flubbed notes over the course of his 1.5 hour performance. Especially impressive considering the fickle nature of a telecaster

[@TheFunkyCriminal]

Nick Rhinehart dudes a machine. watching him live is surreal.

[@owenhu9465]

after he flubbed the note, he just went on to play this insanely tricky run... unbelievable!

[@romdanish]

Dont you think its done purposedly?

[@TheFunkyCriminal]

@@romdanish everyone makes mistakes. just looking at his facial expression and the difference between those harmonics and what's on the album I think it was a small mistake.

[@osman2k]

that's awesome playing!!

[@guitareMTL]

I smiled and laughed the whole video! That was fun to listen to for sure!

Petition for Julian to play Frankie Presto in a movie

[@ColocasiaCorm]

If I saw this guy at guitar center I’d roll my eyes

[@troymcgee5649]

This reminds me very much of Heitor Villa Lobos, far more modern than previously imagined.

[@Jack458111]

Tabs?

[@bulabuakn4013]

How can he play so clean :-|

[@jeffs7482]

1) Start playing when you're five; and 2) Take lessons from outstanding teachers from childhood; and 3) Have the inner drive to practice six hours a day by the time you're ten. Voila!

[@markarcherisinflorid]

At the 57 second mark he realized he left that tuna melt in the car and said, 'well, at this point, fuck it.' and kept on going without a hitch. Oh, to be Julian's forgotten tuna melt. Sniffle.

[@jasonhobert498]

Mics and preamps?

[@Nashwhiteguitars]

Jason Hobert this was a Wunder CM67 on the left and an Audio Technica 4051 on the right through Neve 5052 preamps and Apogee converters.

But can he play smoke on the water?

[@СашаКретинин-м7б]

[@ShutupNerd]

what brand of long sleeves is he wearing? also what kind of cloth is that

[@johntierney3285]

How.

[@doterosperuanossisisis]

Why peru?

[@phish1]

His bass player Jorge Roeder is from Peru. I believe he wrote it in his honor.

[@freddymclain]

the guitar has a new, tight sound. The player, though, sounds fluid, loose. like always. I always imagine that this wasn't annotated at all-like he's playing it for the first time.

[@jeffrodemando]

Well there's nothing basic about this bidge.

[@MarkZarecki]

Amazing! Heavy breather though, right? It's cool. I can forgive him for not being perfect. Lol. He's a musical genius and seems like such a nice humble person too.

[@owenhu9465]

haha thats the only thing julian and i have in common! heavy breather while playing some intense stuff :D

[@Kevin-bp2cw]

Honestly i think there could have been a better way to review the guitar and demonstrate the sound qualities. The tunes he plays are a little "busy" , too many notes , he's demonstrating his agility on a fretboard more than anything else.

[@millsmillsmills203]

I don't think the intent of this was to review the guitar. It was just to let an excellent guitar player go off an an excellent guitar.

[@adamgatica]

If you can hum the melody to this tune, then there's just the right amount of notes. I would much rather Julian play a song than to have someone boring us to death strumming basic chords.

[@mz2250]

There are others videos with differents tunes and style ...

[@KeenanRuffinEl]

+adamgatica the main theme of this very hummable/tuneful.

[@steveb9325]

You remind me of the guy in the movie "Amadeus" " too many notes" ha!
