THIS IS HOW YOU PLAY FUSION!!! Biréli Lagrène is in another planet, melodically, harmonically and technically! I've seen and heard almost all of the fine guitarists in the past fifty years, and in my humble opinion Mr. Lagrène is at the very top.
Biréli Lagrène est un des plus grands guitaristes de notre planète et il peut tout jouer à la perfection et toujours avec le petit plus du génie ! Bravo Biréli !
I don't know how many times I've watched this..this is a lesson..it's unbelievable..what a phrasing, fingering, technique, melody and whatever you say..that's excellent..👏👏
I have said it before….. he sets the freekin bar. His lines, creativity, execution are in a class by them self and every guitarist….even great ones can learn from him. He also plays bass like Jaco, great jazz guitar, his Django thing etc. Just a musical monster and a beautiful thing and I try to learn from him.
loved it when the sax player finished his 1st solo and when he stopped playing... the smile on his face, he did not wait for the crowds approval, he knew he had nailed it.

m@n i was crying listening to Biréli stellar improv 🥵🥴 he's among the C.R.E.A.M 🏆 (Paco De Lucia, Pat Martino, Wes Montgomery, Scott Henderson, n so on)
Grandissimo chitarrista che ho avuto la fortuna di vedere a teatro nella mia città Busto Arsizio con mio fratello e il caro raf storico chitarrista di carosone ricordi ...❤❤❤
Wow!!! I wonder what it feels like to be the baddest guitarist on the planet and its not close. He shreds, play jazz, you name it there's never been nobody better. Ever.
this is bireli lagrene… he says that is stop to practice guitar long time ago because he finish to learn it completely… and he plays bass as the same… and 5 string violin… so don't worry...
Yaun Kermarc "because he finish to learn it completely" if he says that he is really dumb. i don't look at musical genres at all... I just look to things I like. for example a silly guitarist (not a jazz one) called Randy Rhoads was creating something that was never done.. and he never reached that exact point because of his premature death. just listen how he plays on those shitty amps and equipment... he was really making something NEW
Yaun Kermarc and it's a little frustrating to see a Django copycat saying that senteces... maybe he really thinks he's a genius and that's why he can't reach what he really wants...
There are two types of guitar players. One opens his case and says "look what I've got blah blah blah". The other opens his case puts his guitar on and blows you away with ability regardless of how much the guitar cost. And Yamaha guitars are the best value out there.
First time ever watching Bireli despite being into guitar playing for 20 years now!! How did I miss it for such a long time. Yes I know, the scales, technique...all amazing, but for me the apex is that one killer bending at 3:28. Devastating.
Gambale is a monster too but he would absolutely take notice. Bireli don't even cut his teeth on rock style but he can shred with the best on them. Guthrie Govan would kill this song leaving many in the dust.
C'est peut-être le meilleur guitariste aujourd'hui, mais il y a aussi Al Di Meola, et Jeff Beck avec son vibrato, et Derek Trucks avec son bootle neck. Il n'y a pas de hiérarchie à établir en fait, ils sont tous bons. Mais pour avoir vu Biréli Lagrène sur scène, avoir eu l'impression qu'il avait six doigts à la main gauche tant il allait vite je lui trouve un talent fou.
Je pense que vous avez oublié Pat Metheny, qui, à mon avis, a toujours une longueur d'avance sur ceux que vous avez mentionnés, tous bons de toute façon et, en fait, Biréli est l'un de mes préférés. Salut.
He sets the bar and the conception and total solo and ideas is just amazing and he sets the bar high and shows all of us what is possible if you work hard and explore the art and science of music and do your homework. He inspires the hell out of me and would love to work with him someday.
Amazing how many comments liken him to Steve Vai....Ive never heard anything done by Steve Vai that comes close to this. Vai lacks the jazz/ fusion phraseology that Lagrene has mastered. No rock player Ive ever heard is close to this guy. I don't classify guys like Guthrie Govan or Greg Howe even in this guys realm. They converted from rock to fusion. This man has the Jazz foundation which gives him superb phrasing and a fusionistic modality. In fusion, the tonal/ modal foundation is everything. A closer comparison would have been Frank Gambale. But...he is no longer with us. This guy has few if any equals. Possibly...and I say possibly, Al Di Meola or JM. Allan Holdsworth doesn't count as he created his own tonal vocabulary and subsequent language. Consequently, AH is on his own planet.
+Broadfieldpoint you've probably seen the young Bireli playing with Al Di Meola, along with Larry Corryell. put aside the awful sound on ovation guitars, it's clear that Bireli lacked the experience Al Di had, but you just have to look at Al's face while Bireli is playing, his gigantic ego can't help but thinking "damn, this youngster's already way better than I'll ever be"
I agree but Guthrie is an amaziing jazzer also. I do thing Bireli is is a class by himself. I cant help but think he is the best all around player on planet Earth. There are a lot of the big timers out there that this man would destroy on stage. Thats just my take on it.
beautiful....man...just imaging if Holdsworth, Gambale, Shawn Lane and Lagrene were playing this together....or just playing anything together for that matter...
