Julian Lage Solo Darn That Dream - TIJC 2017

[@PlayLikeTheGreatscom]

Dear Musicians, I have completed the Transcription: www.playlikethegreats.com/julian-lage/darn-that-dream-tijc-2017 This took quite a while, but I made a thorough transcription of the entire clip, for TAB + Sheet music + Chords, and complete with finger notation. Enjoy! :)

[@chickenfrancaise]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that your transcription of Ted Greene's MI seminar is a gem that I still practice through regularly. Any plans to finish the entire seminar? :)

[@PlayLikeTheGreatscom]

@@chickenfrancaise Oh, it is finished a long time ago. Perhaps you found it an an early stage? :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@TheRainSongP8]

4:42 on just dropping knowledge. Unreal

[@davidtomlinson692]

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

[@GLeD101]

He’s just checking if God is still smiling

[@VictorMalasquez]

[@paulgerards6494]

So sick & beautiful !! THX Julian !!

[@GuitarMastaDave]

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

[@jorgetenamusic]

He is amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

[@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.

[@sulayman44]

Wow i am just in awe of him!!!

[@bjornagain2020]

Wow, stunning, I'm speechless!!!

[@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

[@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]

Astonishing

[@shirou9237]

wow...

[@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.

[@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
