Le plus grand guitariste que mes oreilles aient jamais entendu! Sylvain Luc. ... bien que bireli soit dans une forme olympique 😅! ❤ Ce sont deux guitariste qui m'ont inspiré ces dernières 25 années de "24h du Manche "
Bireli's smile at 2:06 when hearing Sylvain's accompaniment is priceless. Same as Sylvain's, as a reaction to Bireli's overtones at 2:12. Great dialogue.
version du verre à moitié plein : ces deux extra-terrestres sont connus en France (donc pourquoi poster des commentaires élogieux ?), mais que c'est agréable de savoir qu'ils le sont ailleurs ! Perso je suis fou de ces fous ... I'm CRAZY about those aliens who really get a kick out of playing together ;-)
Et oui c'est ça la France malheureusement 🤷♂️. La France a les meilleurs musiciens du monde en jazz. Didier Lockwood. Bireli lagrene Sylvain Luc. Louise winsberg. Jaen Luc ponty. Richard Galliano. La plus grande école du monde. Mais voilà la France c'est la star acc.
I like very much his idea for his solo on the start. The tapping is quite exiting,but required lots of dexterity indeed.. and he completely nailed it. Still listening to it in 2023.. 😂😂
I come back to this every once in a while just to try to remember how to do it right... RIP Sylvain, et merci pour toute la visibilité que tu as apportée au jazz français, et pour ta contribution à la musique de manière générale !
j'adore ces deux super guitaristes. Bien moins ceux qui pensent qu'il s'agit d'un concours. Ils jouent ensemble pas l'un contre l'autre. C'est dur à comprendre ça ? C'est un duo pas un duel.
Le bonheur et la jubilation transpirent dans le jeu de ces deux maîtres, qui transfigurent ce petit joyau d'un autre maître ... QUEL PIED -What a Kick !!!!
Stuff like that little arpeggio at 1:13 just drives me crazy (in a good way, of course). A7#11 (or Bmaj/A polychord) in the key of G is just nuts (V 7#11 of V - you never hear a #11 in a dominant 7 chord since there are no modes containing the raised 4th and the lowered 7th) and they use use the heck out of it here to wonderful effect. Why can't more people do this?
Denis Chang, a Canadian musician was making a video about how to play like Birelli, in the bloopers you can see Denis asking Birelli to explain what he did, he had no idea, he has not real knowledge of music theory, he probably won't even understand your comment, so he asked Denis to explain in music theory language what he did. That's a real genius, he was born for that, without any knowledge of theory he does stuff that us can't even imagine to do. Birelli is a living legend.
If you go back and listen to Nelson Riddle arrangements he also liked to use that sound on dominant II chords, it's not that uncommon. It's also in the melody of "Take The A Train".
The split diamond on the head stock and fingerboard inlays make me think super 400, L5 should have a different headstock. I've seen him play several super 4s, he always makes them look smaller than they really are. Problem is the fingerboard isn't pointed which isn't right for a super 4 or l5...maybe a super 300?
It’s the Gibson Super V. I own the prototype of this, Bireli’s version. Identifiers, the finger style tailpiece, diamond headstock inlay and split finger board inlays, L5 body, (17 inch bout), Super 400 neck. Color is tobacco sunburst. These guitars sound amazing, they have a deep throaty growl about them and notes have a mellow roundness.
Sorry to say that... i love to listen it during a dinner show... but i couldn't for a whole concert. After 5 minutes, i feel boring. Maybe i'm not a good listener.
It’s because there isn’t enough of the melody to keep the ear intrigued. We have to have what we recognize in order to engage. But the solos are...otherworldly!
