Julian’s gentle vocal delivery, extreme politeness, and deep wisdom come together in a way that reminds me very much of the skateboarder Rodney Mullen.

@fives. Год назад

This, especially when you consider how young both dudes were when they started to love it

@headbangersbrain Год назад

It reminds me very strongly of prince, if you go and watch any interview of his he has this same soft spoken-ness with very gentle mannerisms.

@CalHarding01 Год назад

@@SeanDwyer-xv8yk I’m in the same boat. I remember first seeing Mullen skate when I unlocked his video by beating one of the Tony Hawk games. I immediately went out and tracked down a video of him in action - 25 years later, I have never seen anyone able to skate like him. Some guys come close, of course, but there can only ever be one Rodney. You should really check out some vids of him just talking, in case you haven’t. He was on a channel called “Physics Girl” where he explained how impossibles work, and he also did a great TED talk once, also on youtube. In both videos (and others) he comes across as soft-spoken, wise, and a highly accommodating conversationalist - just like Julian Lage does in this vid.

Some years ago after a concert, I asked Julian how he managed to get such an amazing variety of sounds and tones without effect pedals. He said that the guitar is a delicate instrument, and how you touch it as you play can profoundly influence the sound that comes out. This was one of the best pieces of wisdom on guitar playing I ever received, and ever since I have tried to incorporate that into my playing.

@mwhite6522 10 месяцев назад

I love Julian on a tele, it is the perfect guitar for him imo.

I don't think that would be possible with a different guitar to that extent.

@musik102 10 месяцев назад

Interestingly, had Charlie Christian survived then I'm pretty sure the "sound" of jazz guitar would have developed very differently. For example, when Mary Osborne first heard Charlie ( pre-Benny Goodman) she described him sounding like a distorted sax. Also, I read somewhere that Charlie wanted an amplifier with distortion build into it, and finally, I'm sure the sound Charlie used on the "Minton Sessions" was the sound he really wanted rather than "the safe" sound on the Goodman studio recordings.

For me, the difference in using a Telecaster or Jazzmaster to play jazz, compared to say an ES-175 or ES-335, is there's better separation of notes, whereas the Gibsons would naturally create a slur effect. With the Fenders, there's a slightly more pronounced attack and faster decay, which makes individual notes easier to distinguish.

@KenTeel Год назад

It occurs to me that people that play a style of music, that simply amplifies the sound of strings, can use any electric guitar. It doesn't matter which of them it is. However, for people that rely, heavily on the amplifier, or pedal,(s) adding harmonics (through being overdriven at some stage), specific guitars enhance that ability to "add frequencies" , and therefore it makes a bigger difference which guitar they use. Jazzers, that don't use distortion, can use just about any guitar, and it will sound good. Rockers, not so much. That's why rockers are so much into sustain, tone, pickup voltage, etc. It's apples and oranges when it comes to discussing the necessity of a certain type of guitars, between these two groups. Jazz is a low bar, damned near any guitar will do.

@spb7883 Год назад

What’s interesting is this question always comes up from a jazz perspective, but never the other way around. The Carter Family, Merle Travis, Chet Atkins: three examples among many country players who primarily used archtops, but nobody doubted their country credentials. These notions of “Tele/country guitar”, “archtop/jazz guitar”, “Strat/rock guitar” are arbitrary and marketing driven. There are better and worse sounds for certain styles - you’d never see a player using a BC Rich Warlock to play standards - but so many of the stereotypes about “appropriate” guitar selection are perpetuated by manufacturers.

Not at all - the idea that skill in jazz improvisation is something that can only achieved by a few is really nonsense - and it’s so rich with creative possibility and fun that I find it hard to understand why some musicians dont want to learn it or dont persist. Learning jazz improvisation just requires persistence and direction, like any other skill that is difficult to acquire. I’ve been playing jazz for maybe 10 years, having started out in other styles. Never looked back - it’s always challenging but immensely and profoundly rewarding on every level.

I'm a drummer with guitar questions... Isn't the pickups (type and quantity) along with the amp that really makes the sound and "personality" of the guitar?

@reverb.deluxe Год назад

The cleaner the sound the more it all matters: the wood (mahogany, alder, ash, walnut), the construction (hollow, solid) the string gauge, the scale length, the nut composition, the bridge saddle composition, the pick (or fingers). You can hear it all through a loud clean amp. On the other hand, if you play a guitar through a Big Muff fuzz pedal or an ambient reverb wash then it will be more difficult to hear those differences and you'll start to hear the sound of the effect. No judgement good or bad, just my opinion.

@geschickt 2 месяца назад

A tangent on the subject of the venerable Telecaster: It _still_ sort of annoys me to this day how people tend to overlook that roughly from '79-'86, Page made a fairly radical stylistic departure in his playing by going hard to that refinished B-bender Tele, from ITTOD through to the 2nd (last) record with The Firm. I know those recordings aren't big w/ LZ and/or Page fans (personally, I love them), but it was a pretty audacious move in many ways, and he was clearly (re)inspired by the Tele. Perhaps in part, a return to his roots (re his Tele use in The Yardbirds/early LZ), yet managing to be entirely contemporary at the time. He was rarely asked about it in interviews, and didn't make a big deal out of it himself...still, it's rather remarkable.
