Laurence Juber playing a 1928 Martin 000-45 here at Norman's Rare Guitars

[@MarcAmAlb]

As a guitar lover and mediocre player, to see such an amazing player covering such a beautiful song on such an incredible instrument is a true event.

[@crippy8806]

MarcAmAlb I agree incredible playing I'm wondering who the 10 people who disliked this

[@Sandyoshaunessy]

crippy yeah how dare they voice an opinion!

[@theoriginalbillholt]

Brian leavy -- Moron. I'll give you credit for joking, though you may be serious. I tell people who leave 'the ten idiots who gave this a thumbs down have no soul' type comments that those who dislike videos can have odd reasons for doing so. It's easy to assume that they simply didn't like the performance. That's what you'd expect to be evaluated, but people are strange. Most people who make comments of disbelief like crippy's do so not because they feel others aren't entitled to a dissenting opinion, but because in a case like this video the performance is inarguably excellent, and it is indeed difficult to fathom a sentient person finding enough if anything about it to dislike to the degree of clicking on the 'thumbs down' icon. I could try to envision and assume what type of person would find this performance unappealing -- and why -- but that would all be supposition, some of which would probably be very accurate. 'Those people' are just out there. Some are lurking and hating like SuperTrolls. Others truly have the most bizarrely borderline or outright subjectively shitty taste in music. Many more have qualities and differences in preference that defy explanation by 'the rest'. I fully appreciate crippy's sentiment: who the fuck would truly dislike this? There are reasons for that which we will likely never know.

[@Sandyoshaunessy]

theoriginalbillholt it was sarcasm genius, the fact you went through the effort of typing all that out is just embarrassing, whether or not its excellent makes no difference, I'm sick of those stupid comments about the "12 people who disliked" maybe they hit it by mistake, but people can dislike a video if they fucking want to

[@jonathanfung7790]

Well said Marc

[@cuzzmike]

Can someone please help me to understand why anyone would give this a thumbs down??? I saw Laurence Juber live in NY a couple of times. Truly unlike anyone else. You would think you are watching 3 guitarist playing at the same time but its just him.. He truly makes the guitar sing.

[@theguitarrepairchannel]

Every few days i come back to this video, and every time I'm moved almost to tears as the song ends. This is spectacular!

[@birdman5939]

It is indeed spectacular......

[@CactusHaze]

I've never heard something so beautiful. Literally had me in tears. I'm so thankful to have found this.

[@RyneMurray23]

It makes me cry every time😂

[@ellavaderknows]

And remember, he's playing it on a guitar that he hasn't played before. Just amazing

[@mragunathan1627]

cmon, do you think Paul's guitarist is going to need time to settle into a guitar?

[@bradcarroll3719]

That's one of the best sounding renditions of In My Life I've ever heard. Imagine if it would've been recorded with something other than a camera mic. Gorgeous 000-45!

[@vKarl71]

...and auto volume control !! Yes, it's really pathetic that these guys who have such a valuable inventory of guitars can't be bothered to invest in a basic, decent audio recording setup. Their videos totally lose the dynamics of the guitars.

[@joshuapolak2913]

I just lost some fingernails and after seeing this I think I'll just keep em off.

[@GuitarSlinger2112]

Well four years ago but I'm gonna answer anyway. You can get this version of In My Life on his album LJ Plays the Beatles

[@IceNinja18]

@@GuitarSlinger2112 There's also a book with the song written in his arrangement

[@David-vu7zy]

I’ve been on the LJ train for many years. I have seen him countless times and he played for my 50th birthday. A one of kind master.

[@smike134]

That might just be the nicest arrangement of in my life I've ever head

[@sebastianbjoernestad]

Whats the song the though? I NEED TO KNOW :D

[@sebastianbjoernestad]

Never mind found out :) It's "In My Life" by The Beatles!

[@deadchannel4966]

Sebastian Bjørnestad fuck really

[@brandall101]

Just fwiw, he was the Wings guitarist (Paul McCartney's band) in the late 70s... he has several acoustic albums of Beatles arrangements, it's kinda his bread-and-butter. I saw him do a show here in San Diego in 2017 and the majority of the show was Beatles and Wings arrangements in a crowd of maybe 100 people. It was absolutely mesmerizing, highly recommended.

[@briankelly7984]

This is just as good as it gets. A true master - he plays the full neck and barely opens his eyes, talk about control! He makes seasoned guitarists look like novices; incredible.

[@stringbender57]

Absolutely beautiful! My favorite Beatles tune brilliantly played by Laurence. And what a sweet 1928 Martin!

[@drewconley2879]

This video always gives me goosebumps. Laurence has such a god-given talent and ability. Such a beautiful arrangement of “In My Life” and “Yesterday”.

[@denisebojczuk510]

Beautiful! I could listen to Laurence Juber play guitar all day.

[@anukegaming4341]

this is truly the greatest piece of acoustic guitar i have ever heard.

[@paulofreire7520]

Thank you Laurence and thank you Norm for having him playing. Simply beautiful

[@robmartinez7517]

Brilliant! I met Laurence Juber at BeatleFest in LA in 1989 and he was super cool and amazing to listen to play.

[@johnhedigan9692]

Amazing player, incredible guitar, beautiful arrangement.

[@EternalSoul77777]

Wow that was beautiful 😮 if there were only one song I could play perfectly it would be that, I don't think I'd ever get tired of it. Bravo sir, bravo.

[@MrSteviek52]

No one else has the guitar voice of Laurence Juber.... period !! So elegant !!!

[@RyneMurray23]

He is a genius 🔥

[@ougigaming8710]

Thank you Sir...Truly ear candy for those of us who really know a real guitarist.... Thank you again ....and thanks Norm for posting

[@SoItGoesCAL34]

Well done! That's one of my favorite Beatles songs. Thanks for posting this video with Laurence Juber.

[@stratocasterguy]

Nothing short of beautiful and amazing. Love how he also played the piano part.

[@brennas.4457]

So cool to hear him play his own arrangement. I happen to know how to play his version of it, and am blown away at how effortlessly he makes the transitions from one part to the next. Amazing!

[@africanriftvalleyfish8287]

Two rare talents, the guitarist and the guitar. Thanks Norman!

[@glassslide]

That was insanely great.

[@prestinbegeman5754]

This video still amazes me to this day. What a great player!!!

[@Phd34275]

Beautiful! Thank you Laurence..... and Norm for sharing this with us.

[@jerrybrooks8281]

Monster player and a really nice guy too! I love it when stars like him can be really nice people.

[@walmars3curity]

Norm thank you you for having such great players, not just names. By far my favorite. FYI im only 20 and this makes us younger players forever better.

[@guitarguy97]

Sick doesnt even begin to describe this guy. I will never be that good. I could listen to him play all day long

[@deweybowser796]

Wow ,, I may never see and hear Juber play 1928 Martin 000-45 again .. Once in lifetime deal

[@beachbum4166]

Such a humble master. He laughs when he gets recognition.

[@davidproudfoot3424]

Absolutely sublime playing and a beautiful sounding instrument.

[@thomasmartin2838]

I am constantly in awe of Laurence Juber' talent.

[@LAMooreMusic]

I LOVE hearing this man play.

[@georgejasper8794]

got to have dinner with Laurence and then sit front row at the Woodstock Arts Theater several years ago - what an awesome guy, with GREAT stories - and of course he can play!

[@NIGHTFRIGHT2011]

Why would anyone give this the thumbs down? Jealousy? Beautiful performance of a classic track. Paul certainly knew what he was doing when he brought Laurence into Wings. Goodnight Tonight had some tasty acoustic playing from Laurence during the call and response section with Denny Laine. If my memory serves me correctly,I seem to remember that Denny Laine brought out a guitar tutor book,when actually Laurence was the true guitar virtuoso in the band at that time.

[@guitarnotions]

I love that song! BRAVO! Beautifully played!

[@robertdore9592]

My favourite Beatles song and a man who's fast becoming my favourite Acoustic Guitarist, he's truly a creative genius....

[@championhairpuller]

Unreal performance...just off the cuff like that! Mindblown.

[@pippopinats8782]

Simply A M A Z I N G the pathos that this great musician takes from a guitar . THANK YOU

[@BRUCEBowering]

What amazes me is this guy rocks up to a guitar shop, picks up a guitar he's never played before and rips this out, probably in one take. Bloody awesome.

[@robertdore9592]

This is how i discovered this fabulous player , playing my favourite Beatles song on and an acoustic guitar.

[@kevinwilson1124]

I love slotted headstock guitars. They are sometimes magical.

[@derrickholmes2586]

Beautifully played....soul touching music.

[@paulbingham_Creative]

Great playing by Laurence on that beautiful Vintage Martin!! 👏 👍

[@curiojeff]

Love Laurence. Got to meet him once and watch him play close up. The man put it aptly: He does stuff on a guitar mere mortals cannot do. Would love to see a tab of this somewhere -- who knows, maybe I could actually manage to pull off a chunk of it.

[@ZdenkoTonhajzer]

Check on Tim Van Roy, he has KZbin channel where he is teaching this song, with tabs in it

[@larstu24]

An awesome guitarist and beautiful arrangement.

[@AtilioEscobar]

After seeing you guy's compilation of guitarist vid, Laurence stood out and hat to KZbin him! Just..WOW!

[@leonardtunstad3884]

i had the great fortune of seeing him play several times at pershing square...as nice a person as his playing is great...

[@monzo9999]

I cried listening to this , great job!

[@ofrabjousday1]

If I may geek out for a second...George Martin was two years old when this Martin guitar was made. (As of today, Nov. 16, 2017): 4 days ago, Mr. Juber turned 65 years old. In My Life was released in '65. That was 52 years ago. Mr. Juber was born in '52. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

[@garudafasano]

Meraviglioso strumento, meravigliosa esecuzione! Tanks very much...

[@cwxdaf152]

That guitar is absolutely stunning!

[@johnnywires943]

Ahh,Beatles music in the hands of a virtuoso,just magical.Thank you Laurance.

[@darasithin7906]

i've watched this video for about more than 5 times... that acoustic sound just made me stuck in this video god... !

[@jimcaliendo8871]

So beautiful ! Thank you for sharing!

[@j.d.thompson3505]

Saw him play a set at the Iron Door Saloon in Groveland CA. There was maybe 75 people in this little bar and Lawrence was magnificent.

[@sonofren]

If you're unaware of the vastness of Laurence's musical catalog, I say it is definitely worth looking up. His work with Paul McCartney & Wings is stellar, along with his extensive session work and dozens of fantastic solo albums. Unbelievable musician, on acoustic guitar obviously, *but* also on electric as well.

[@rogerhundley9490]

Outstanding! Some of the Beatles tunes are timeless.

[@skotward]

That was absolutely amazing.

[@haselock1963]

Amazing playing amazing guitar ,,thanks Norm .

[@Name-xe4le]

His solo on Let It Be at the Concert for Cambodia blew my mind back in, ...some time in early 80s (79?). He sounded so modern in that tone and phrasings. Sometimes I wonder if Paul didn't get busted in Japan and Wings lasted for another years. If there's one thing that's positive about the Beatles breakup, for me it's in fact that I could always listen to new bands with gorgeous (in the sense of musical skill, not clothes or fame) musicians playing under Paul's musical direction. That's something you couldn't ask for when Paul was with the Beatles. Back to the Egg is still one of my all time favorite albums.

[@onesojourner7514]

I've met Laurence, and spoken to him, several times at NAMM. Very nice guy all around.

[@ДмитроПобережний-у1г]

I've waited for a normal part till the end)) stunning)

[@gabelasry221]

As a decent player, if you hand me someone else’s guitar my skills are limited just because of a slightly different shape or set up. This incredibly intricate piece played on a foreign guitar is so incredibly impressive . Juber is a god amongst mortals this is alien. He records these songs too, listen to how clean and perfect the recordings are it’s astounding.

[@frankhurn9055]

Really Awesome Talent on an exceptional and rare instrument!

[@JFK1180]

Now that was just wonderful!

[@mragunathan1627]

brought a tear to my eye hahhaa, what a beautiful rendition of in my life

[@johnnyquickshot7756]

This might be the nicest cover I’ve ever heard in my life

[@themuffinman357]

Oh my... that was incredible. I hope to play as well as you one day.

[@mr.b.5589]

Saw Mr. Juber in a church basement 15 years ago. Maybe 30 people. Perfectly intimate night of guitar magic.

[@RockinB23]

Great arrangement on such a cool guitar!!!!

[@Star_Sn1per]

That guitar sounds amazing

[@illinoisvalleymusicians]

Beautiful playing and great sounding guitar!

[@scazmando1930]

O crap that was so good--just wonderful.....

[@briandixon2009]

How can 10 people dislike this? Incredible.

[@Castlefreaky1]

Haters will ALWAYS hate...

[@BGMMM100]

It's called jealousy, with a hint of Trump style self-delusion about their own playing abilities. Sad.

[@Bejaardenbus]

Well, I for one don't like it. I can hear he's a really good player -and better than I- but it simply doesn't do it for me because of certain technical things he throws into the song that ruin it for me.

[@derekcain9885]

Actually it's very close to the song. Even the instrumental break, brilliant

[@zionofriel6313]

Because they’re pissed they can’t be this good lol

[@nz3058]

What a beautiful Guitar!

[@darrens.6447]

Wow! this is an example on how an expensive guitar will sound in the hands of a master player 🔥 Beautiful guitar..

[@firozsanullah9571]

Simply Breathtaking

[@1302mb]

I always wondered how to play that harpsichord part in, In My Life, amazing.

[@richardryan8609]

I only have one word: Fantastic.

[@Easternborders]

I taught the Guy, I wish ,amazing virtuoso guitar player and a complete explanation of the music .Thank you

[@josephmoorejr.3802]

Wow. Beautiful playing

[@murphyebass7837]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@ripskins3243]

I would listen to this a 100 times before a modern pop song.

[@lovesgibson]

Jesus, that was amazing

[@charlescrisp2814]

That was so beautiful moving and amazing

[@KSandy-iy6fg]

Holy damn! he played all my life, and all that sound just with a one guitar, even he played the piano melodic part thing

[@richarddubin3318]

Absolutely speechless!

[@Dengia64]

I' am a Fan of this great Man...magic touch...Ric

[@amirgat1285]

Back to the egg! so great and fantastic!

[@Pedroguitarbr]

unbelievable touch!

[@davidlgarnier]

amazing and wonderful !

[@iamrishavk]

In My Life Is The Most Magical❤️

[@nicholastotoro7721]

My God, that is a beautiful sounding guitar. Not just because it's played by Laurence, but it just is.

[@ronlight7013]

Beautiful performance. I've suggested this very performance as an accompaniment to a Doctorate of Education graduation ceremony at a local university. All pandemic and online, of course.

[@ericjam6346]

That was well done. Sounded just great..

[@wabawhip1]

Fantastic!!! Hello L.J.

[@deej19142]

Speechless......

[@edyue1]

amazing sound, amazing skills, classic beatles never sounded better

[@djheong991]

This reminds me of “Angel On My Shoulder” by Shelby Flint. Just magical.
