Julian Lage Solo Darn That Dream - TIJC 2017

[@guitarguy6662]

Currently the most fascinating and skilled guitarist of our time

[@modestoney1577]

Not really, but he is good

[@thealaskapicker8628]

I do like his use of space. Shredders these days seem to feel like "good" means filling the space with as many notes as possible. Julian Lage is a more dynamic player than that and I appreciate it. That being said, hyperbole like "most fascinating and skilled of our time" feels like an overreach. There are so many incredible guitar players out there and comparing players of different styles is impossible

[@PaulLannuier]

Yeah, for me he is. On top of his incredible dynamics and sound, as if that’s not incredible enough, he’s doing things harmonically that are Bill Evans-level mind blowing. And he does it effortlessly. I hate him. Lol! Seriously, this kid is a once-in-a-generation talent.

[@MauriceGuibot]

@@PaulLannuier try Antoine Boyer

[@grosebud4554]

Him and Blake Mills are my top players. Blake’s playing is always totally out of the box playing. Julian has more jazz chops and is very tasteful just like Blake

[@cantseehimliam7211]

The old Roland Jazz Chorus amps! the best clean tone. Amazing playing too!

[@misterarthur]

Not an old one - a Roland Jaz Chorus 40 - his playing is just fantastic.

[@lincolnosiris3665]

It is a JC 120

[@James-S3]

You cannot go wrong with a Roland jazz chorus! Sounds amazing

[@shallyshal1]

Or a Tele. Leo got it right the first time❤

[@philiphigh7189]

He has always been an excellent player but in the last couple of years his creativity has really reached a new level. Wow.

[@paulgerards6494]

So sick & beautiful !! THX Julian !!

[@francescomenna9743]

i'm so happy now he uses tele

[@speedspeed121]

Really? I like the Manzer a lot better. I guess it is a matter of taste. It still sounds good to me though

[@francescomenna9743]

[@stubhead]

For me it was just like... INSTANTANEOUS. I had no idea that stuff was in 'em. I don't think HE did, either! I just found this stuff.. 0:20, 3:20, 4:40. Goddam. It's like he just opens up the channel. IT'S FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY THAT. He doesn't flub the stuff, RUN IT at half-speed IT'S CLEAR HE'S _IMPROVISING._ He went to the Ali Akbar School in SF, and he's a MASTER at losing the "One", finding it, relocating it, bringing it back. I wish McLaughlin was twenty years younger; but still. There's been a definite movement among the hotshots to TEAM UP. J. Herring (hint~hint~hint)? I'm facile enough to _hear_ Lage is using numeric patterns. He's drifting into tens, then sixes, nine note groupings, twelve, just then... some connecting bits. But it's still impossible. WHY DOESNT HE FLUB?!? Oz Noy does that grouping stuff, tempting to say it's an Eric Johnson influence, but they come to it as... musicians, working the same IDEAS. This fellow doesn't need to cop licks. I think he already HAS a few....

[@timfguitar]

Agree absolutely stunning. Got to talk to him recently. He practices improvising counterpoint. He clearly has some practice secrets that work! Everything he does blows my mind.

[@lungflogger9]

agree, it is a great sounding one, I think a '52.....but he make all his instruments sound great.

[@lowrencemayfield4271]

Everytime i watch some of his videos i'm like hypnotized, not only he has a fantastic technique but he is so crative and what a taste man.... I have no more words. Ps. Roland Jazz Chorus will never die.

[@Winfield8226]

Outstanding arrangement of this song. Maybe the best I've ever heard....and I've heard a lot of them.

[@riccardocoelatirama]

So beautiful ❤

[@GuitarMastaDave]

I love the inclusion of "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" around 2:50. Really shows that he knows his stuff.

[@TheRainSongP8]

4:42 on just dropping knowledge. Unreal

[@sulayman44]

Wow i am just in awe of him!!!

[@alanoffer]

It never ceases to amaze me that fifty years later after all the advances in materials and electronics that the go to guitar for more and more players is the tele ,

[@cuppalightroast]

reffoelcnu alouncelal its low key a wonderful jazz instrument

[@jon2kx]

That's a 65 reissue with the ashtray hardtail as well. Should have one modern 4 position switch on there, but other than that and the tuners, should be as close to a mid 60s tele a sound as you can have. Perhaps mass production is the wrong answer for guitar making.

[@xebio6]

There's nothing you can't do on a Tele

[@kylebarnett350]

brilliant... as always!

[@neilcrowesongs9768]

glorious playing

[@jorgetenamusic]

He is amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

[@davidtomlinson692]

He keeps looking up as though he's handing someone flowers.

[@GLeD101]

He’s just checking if God is still smiling

this man is amazing.

[@demetrios3232]

This is the the result of being a child prodigy. The guitar has been with him since around 7 years of age. It's impossible to be this good without discipline and years studying. He's phenomenal.

[@guitargod6997]

Actually, it is just good jazz guitar solo playing. Not "other worldly" - just competence on the instrument. Quite lovely.

[@samme79]

@@guitargod6997 what a snobby remark. he thinks it's phenomenal. who cares if you don't. besides Julian is indeed phenomenal. If you can do better with your snobby attitude, show us.

Wonderful playing from Julian who I think is one of the greatest players around at the moment. I wish I could feel as relaxed as he looks. He seems to surprise himself sometimes by what he has just played. Did I really play that ?.

[@giacomocorradi4411]

What brand and model of amplifier are using Julian? 🧐 Thank you.

[@baessoguitar]

AMAZING

[@zh9842]

Everything he does is amazing, but what really got me this time is the tempo of the main part of this. In my experience, playing and listening, keeping something like that even and giving the illusion of a trio is next to impossible. Listen to other great guitarists, or even pianists, and I doubt if you’ll find anyone who can equal it.

[@oknice343]

yeah his internal pulse is pretty insane

[@SuchaDoofus]

Are we hearing the Jazz Chorus?

[@provizorfreud]

Same question!

[@moleot]

grande chitarrista e non solo

[@dr05guitar]

his playing is mesmerizing...love it!

[@kbkesq]

I have tried to like him because of his obvious talent and find him tasteless and hate the scofield affectations. But this is really great. His talent comes through and he keeps the bass and textures going and is still unconventional. Gets a great sound with a tele even though the video is shot on a phone which distorts it.

[@scotconnolly880]

Same for me. Ted Greene did this style with the taste of Bill Evans

So, yes, he's going into the Jazz Chorus.

[@peterlloyd5285]

@@ShaneSiwat It sounds like the JC. A much underestimated amp. I borrowed one from a music shop once. I held on to it for a rather long time. When I took it back they said " Oh, we'd forgotten about that". Jeez.

[@AndresCintra]

please someone! whats the exact model of the guitar??

[@jsphilologos]

It's likely to be his '54 Fender Telecaster. This interview goes into great detail regarding his switch to a Telecaster and the different models he's used (he speaks about his live rig around question #3): www.guitarplayer.com/artists/1013/julian-lage-on-the-lure-of-the-telecaster/57816.

[@AndresCintra]

thanks! :)

[@NelGomez]

Thank you so much!

[@AzSamad]

Hi Andres, I was at this clinic & took a lesson with Julian. I thought it was his Danocaster but he told me it's actually a Nacho Guitars Tele. I believe it's this exact one: www.nachoguitars.com/my-product/julian-0082/

[@javierthewish]

It is exactly that guitar. Thanks for the link Az Samad, I was looking for it. I had this guitar in my hands when Julian came to Munich, it is beautiful and incredible light.
