when a classical guitarist discovers the blues

[@LucasBrar]

Glad to be back! Backing track and TAB for the last song "Prelude to Death" Dminor Blues on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/d-minor-blues-to-97227291?Link&

[@lenkadohnalova6908]

Keep going, it's good!!!

[@mundicojr]

We're glad you're back! Cheers from Brazil.

[@ElisabethMouz]

Prelude to death, Bach Would love it, made me a deja vu,😂😂

[@rayusse]

Excellent blues ,,, did you ever see "Who killed john o neil" ?

[@SvenTviking]

You cannot play the blues unless you’ve had your balls nailed to the railroad track by the KKK.

[@aldebaran4332]

As someone who studied piano at the conservatory this hit me on a deep level. Classical music turned into something that can feel like a cage. It's like everybody forgot that music heroes like Bach were also great improvisers and learned music theory to then use it to create. And we get raised as mere executors! But rock, blues and jazz can still provide us the freedom to express the music we have inside

[@manuelcardoso7595]

True. Yeah musicians of the baroque all improvised. There's I think a bach trumpet concert where the 2nd movement is just 2 notes, and you were supposed to imrpovise there. Nowadays they just play the two notes. I can relate to this because I study at a conservatory, currently in grade 6 as a classical guitarist. Fortunately, they have an improvisation class there with an awesome jazz professor. I mean I love classical music too, and my classical guitar professor is also awesome but... hell this video is good

[@googlekopfkind]

Agree, but one can also play bach and improvise in classical style, or compose or improvise in bassically every style you want. I studied composition at conservatory and it was such a joke

[@rproctor83]

What do you mean exactly? They don't teach you theory? I would assume the school would base the performance on the technical execution rather than how good it sounded.

[@aldebaran4332]

Yes, they teach us theory, but they don't teach us how to apply it practically to make music, and don't encourage us to do so, we approach every piece in an unpersonal way, execution must be precise because we are not great musicians yet, so we don't have the authority to interpret things. The problem is more generic and is in the way Classic music is seen today, like It Just belongs to the past, frozen on the paper. Why can't we just jam together and groove like during the baroque or improvvise a romantic waltz to make friends dance at parties? xD

[@manuelcardoso7595]

@@aldebaran4332 Yeah true. I also study at a conservatory. Classical Guitar

[@divest_.2759]

Watched this while high and did not regret

[@MartinMaat]

I started out sober but started to see colors as the video progressed.

[@punkhazard593]

😂😂😂

[@xyzyzx1253]

Lol same

[@Ana_crusis]

Well done Lucas

[@teknoaddict9335]

This makes me go to another dimension

[@gabrielrosaviolao_]

bro just casually dropped "is not death you should fear, is live a inauthentic life" and gone play blues

[@mejiadiver]

Brutal. Now I get to contemplate myself and ask if my life is authentic enough? I didn't wanna feel depressed. I wanted to laugh

[@Nickshreds890]

​@mejiadiver at the end of the day you should live the way you truly want to. Yes mortality is depressing. But music is life and heals all wounds! Enjoy the bizarre Lucas and his lovely playing and smile ! 😃

[@Auguur]

"Pentatonic noodling is something you should only do at home" Omg, I choked on my coffee!

[@harrykuheim6107]

That's all you hear at any Guitar Shop

[@nicolasolton]

He is right though.

[@antl7219]

A masterclass ! You invented a new genre of youtube videos ! "The musical story short" or something like that ! What a banger...

[@VeronicaLovesAI]

Exactly!

[@DANNYSBIZ]

The same thing happened to me. I studied classical guitar for 7 year non completing the conservatory but when I discover music my life changed. It's more powerful for expressing cause blues is what you feel inside either positive either negative. It could sound strange but in many case blues helped me in some depression or failure moment. I take my guitar e play blues.

[@pinballrobbie]

I heard somewhere, that people like the blues because it usually ends in a Major Chord which is uplifting and gives you hope.

[@pinballrobbie]

The funny thing is, is that the blues are not depressing. I read somewhere that the Blues can cheer you up because the chord changes usually end on a Major uplifting chord.

[@guitarsolos89]

Lucas so commited to the video idea that he locked himself in the basement for real, that's why we haven't seen that much uploads lately. Hats off to you Lucas!

[@kof3017]

Method actor!

[@forton615]

Hats on!

[@anthonyg7181]

The level of chill I experience simply observing your right hand technique...astronomical. Giggles and jazzy wiggles, well done

[@opus5770]

the 999 flipping to 666 actually got me laughing out loud by myself in my room 🤣 well done! this whole thing is amazing!

[@franckauger9490]

The first time, I heard this video, I thought it was funny, but, now, I understand it's more serious and delivering more sense and feelings that I knew at the beginning. I appreciate your work, LUCAS, and the way you do it very properly. J'aime beaucoup le fond et la forme de tes productions videos et musicales.

[@NicHeuwGuitar]

Nobody else combines skits and virtuoso level guitar playing that I know of other than Lucas!! Just so unique and amazing!

[@enduser63]

Have you seen Leo kottke he's good

[@NicHeuwGuitar]

@@enduser63 Yes! A great player, but I haven't listened to him for a while. Thanks mate, I'm gonna listen to some of his tunes now :)

[@enduser63]

@@NicHeuwGuitar he's over 80 I think so yeah enjoy his work while he's alive

[@CantoSinFronteras]

Take a look at Mateo Mancuso

[@NicHeuwGuitar]

​@@CantoSinFronterasYup I love Matteo Mancuso's playing. Do you know Bireli Lagrene and Sylvain Luc by any chance?

[@Xinbaset]

Humour, virtuosism, story telling and profound message!

[@csscszcsgv]

[@BiggerThanFrogs]

Thanks Lucas 12brar, one of your best

[@tito_pane]

the BrAR joke got me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂😂

[@nunosa5098]

This channel has the best mix of guitar mastery and humor in the whole web

[@lorenzoferretti4847]

Lucas Brar, your style of sharing knowledge and experiences is definitely unique. Absolutely fantastic musician!

[@guilhermebarbosa2519]

Dude, i was legit invested in this short story

[@HarryVerey]

I think this will resonate with many classical musicians, not just classical guitarists., a very imaginative and effective way to use your talents to get your message across!

[@StrimKIRILL9]

I graduated from the conservatory in Russia. The video accurately conveys my fear of classical guitar school. And the strings are expensive( The video is awesome as always.

[@nicolasolton]

I hope you can avoid the SMO and trenches in Ukraine. All the best to you.

[@olemikhael]

I’m loving it man❤️❤️❤️

[@sstolarik]

I’ve enjoyed all of your videos, but this was a masterpiece. Well done. Bravo! 👏

[@frankboyd.]

Another "crossroads" type legend begins, in a most creative and entertaining presentation.✌️😎👍🇨🇦

[@LetBBB6345789]

That is why I love Eugen Cicero's jazz-classic tunes and wish there was more of it. Generally, fusing styles can have such nice results.

[@jbatlanta]

Thanks!

This is just brilliant, sending mad respect and love your way Lucas!

[@joelwanner5799]

Lucas on a steel string! Didn't expect that. Great stuff

[@kimmorgan379]

BTW it's lovely to hear you on a steel-strung for a change. Though you always sound divine on a classical, you get a gorgeous tone on that song.

[@borg-borg-2015]

This was briliant! The video was great, the story was great, the whole "meet your future dead self" part really got to me. BUT THE LYRICS !!! MY MAN !! THE LYRICS !! I don't know why I'm freaking out over them, but I got the same gut twisting feeling that you get when you hear those blues legends lay it down on the guitar. The lyrics felt the most bluesiest of blues in this blues video! Love it! Truly love it!

[@vivaldesque]
