Wow just realized "Where's the sheet music?" is the classical musician version of "do you have the tabs bro?" 🤣
you’re right!!! 🤣
Is there a "where's the frets bro?"
Love both your videos!
Please.....do collaboration......😍😍😍
XD totally! and yeah, a colab would be nice.
Lol true 🤣🤣
I absolutely died at “goes into trance immediately”
I’ve been in jazz ensembles (as the jazz noob) for a lot of my life and that was scary accurate. Killer playing, too!
I always used to laugh with a teacher when we were improvising. He was completely possesed for 70 bars before letting me iprovise.
I used to go see Phil DeGreg (jazz pianist) perform on a regular basis, and one of his strongest pieces of advice was that a jazz “pro” is able to deliver passable solos (at minimum) no matter how uninspired they might be feeling. If they’re feeling good and can rise to “great”, or even “amazing”, that’s the ideal, but even if they’re tired and hung over, they need to enter that trance state and play well enough to fool the non-jazzers in the audience.
Does anyone know the song he's playing I've been trying to find it for awhile
@@Rikkachiwa All of me.
yes the trance bit was so epic )
I didn't know that I am already at classical pro level!
i studied years to get to that level, great job
learning 100 chords to play for 3 people is honestly really satisfying
but learning to play 3 chords for thousands of people pays the bills./
@@morbidmanmusic Who gives a shit. Have you heard what the masses like.
@@danielcampbell9344 I've heard they paid for a very nice house.
I'll tell you a tiny secret: there are not a hundred chords but only one. It is only necessary to know which notes to choose, in that chord and at each moment. (its name is cluster) 😉
But not mastering any of them is the problem
Damn, that’s some serious vocal skills tbh
That's the thing no one really talks about, how enjoyable and transcendant it is to be in that 'trance' state, where the world melts away, and all there is is the music. It's tapping into something primal.
I laughed so fucking hard because its sooooo fucking true too, and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. "contacts jazz devil" damn near died
Yeah, this is the reason guitar can become unhealthy for me
I noticed I space out from the "physical world" when I play. I can talk and hear people talking to me, but if I am improvising and trying to enjoy my playing, I totally get disconnected and enter my own world, almost like meditation.
I will certainly quote your comment in the near future, because this is a perfect description of the feeling.
@@TheCyberSatyr what do you mean even?😂
Your scat vocal never fails to amaze me. Also never fails to make my mom yell at me not to bring a girl to my room.
Lol, is everyone doing the Rudy Ayoub pfp thing now?
@@arunkarthikma3121
???
Could you please explain this to a german ignorant?
@@wiejetze8397 Rudy Ayoub is a CZcamsr guitarist comedian man.
His profile picture follows this style: a yellow pastel background, with a black and white picture of his face.
It could be a coincidence, but I'm seeing a lot of people using a similar style for their profile pictures.
🤣
Brilliant! Every note you play sounds "right" if you sing it too. 😄
The Classical Guy is spot on. Doesn't know what piece to play
I only know few chords but enjoy playing jazz soooo much on the guitar. With the guitar all the melodies just make instantly sense.
just the way it should be man! im the same way, you dont need to know so many chords to make jazz fun. a lot of bossa nova is a grooving bassline with just a few chords on top, just the way it should be. keep having fun man, and whoever may read this :)
Plus, if they don't, it doesn't really matter, because.... jazz.
This is literally the best content i've seen in a while, thank you for making me remember what i want to do with my life :')
This is so spot on it hurts and delights in equal measure. Keep it up Lucas
Thank you for showing one of the most crucial skills for soloing: audiation.
Too few amateurs know about this and how it gives you confidence and skill to know what you're about to play before you play it. Invaluable in soloing and even in composing.
This is obviously something everyone going to music school learns, but many are left out.
how do you even do this ?
@@inkunuga1122adam neely did a good and concise video about the topic that teaches you the basic idea: czcams.com/video/KMqOOokv4TM/video.html
but every musician finds this out sooner or later. and if they go to music school, they WILL learn this. It's essential skill and you practice it till the day you croak.
@@inkunuga1122 read the book by Victor Wooten "The Music Lesson". it's only natural to 'hear' what you want to play in your imagination -- if youre thinking this is incredibly complex and out of reach then you are psyching yourself out. The whole book treats this problem. There is a pointed discussion in Chapter 4 "Technique"
Thank you for continuing to inspire people to play guitar and jazz.
Always a delight Lucas, God bless you!
Thanks! Loved the end part :) The way you hit those notes with the guitar and your voice... you are really something.
Thanks so much man!!
@@LucasBrar I know it isn't much, I just hope it gets you a couple of beers at least.
Your skill has been an inspiration for a while for me. Thanks.
man i just love you. your playing your style... everything
playing and singing the same notes are incredibly impressive to me
i'm on level 2 and i love being on it, playing simple solos with basic scales is something that i love
hell yeah man
The playing is amazing as always. The acting and clothes selections were hilarious:). Great job.
This is so much fun & great playing to back up the humorous touches!
thanks for your videos lucas. it's therapy. you're doing a great service to guitar players by helping us laugh at ourselves. help desperately needed sometimes.
You are one guitarist i admire so much, i wish to get to your level someday.
The “po pá pa po pa pa” part is in my head forever now. 😂 genius and funny!!! Thanks for making these videos.
Rocking back and forth, possessed, in a robe, like a madman. THAT IS TRUE JAZZ.
seriously: great work - you are one of the guitarists that has us hobbyist guitarists pulling our hair out and being inspired, because we never quit just because people do stuff we can't do, we just take little breaks to pick our jaws off the ground. Cheers, Lucas
edit: wrong word, whoops
I also enjoy wearing robes and rocking like a madman. Man has taste.
dude i stopped trying to post on instagram and deleted it completely. when i got into an improv trance, my eyes roll to the back of my head. so i just said fuck it, i aint never gonna go viral.
Great Content! Im binging all your videos. I wish your spotify had a compilation (and selection) of the music you have done in youtube. You make so good music!!!
Absolutely awesome and completely hilarious at the same time! That last dude, who is half asleep and summons his jazz powers as an extension of his essence, was HILARIOUS! Subbed from ages ago, keep up the good work bro 😂
Just a beautiful playing,thank you
CZcams became such a better place since I found your channel. Thank you so much for being here!
Awesome man..you are best jazz guitarist...your fly me to the moon version is still my favourite 😍😍🎉🎉😊😊
this video just make'd my day better.
Amazing video keep going bro you're so good! 🔥
My favorite part of jazz class was watching my teacher, who was a jazz musician for the majority of his life, just get into a trance and play. I thought it was amazing and I loved how simple he made it look. While I'm here on the bass trying to make a walking bass line
was your teacher Ted Greene ? He is fun to watch , he goes straight into the zone every time
I’ve got a buddy I play with who does the “contacting the devil” face a lot and it killsss me 😂😂
hahahah nice! "because no one is listening anyway" . Very freeing, that feeling, I'm sure. Nicely done!
You are a natural for comedy, with or without the guitar. You should have another channel just for sketch comedy.
Impossible not to smile... bravo as always... 😊👏
That's the best solo for "All of Me" i've heard. Cheers man!
Good to see you again, Lucas!
You really need a show/album/entire channel! Your humor alone is worth the watch. I love watching people of all skill levels playing the guitar. Something about this particular instrument seems to bring people together
So good haha! Amazing playing too! I have been playing some jazz on the classical guitar recently and you have been a big inspiration for me. Any chance you could make a video discussing your approach to playing jazz with classical technique?
This guitar/voice solo was sooooo beautiful ! just listend twice, i loved it !
Man I always crack up with your videos 🤣, they are dead serious both musically and comically, nothing in life like good music and a good laugh, keep it up!
u have progressed very well with your improv
Your videos are always amazing....
... tbh what impressed me the most is that he was bouncing his body OFF TEMPO, while still retaining perfect tempo and rhythm with his playing. Truely a certified "possessed" jazz demon moment ✅
Rocking the beard Lucas🙌
what a brilliant upload.......................glad this came across my stream.....
fantastic! you're able to play every music style.... you are an seasoned guitarrist soul in a young body and you can play whatever you want...
It's a good day when Lucas uploads :)
Holy moly! One of the best jazz impro I saw on youtube!
The best "Evolution" video I saw!
Loved the solo and laughed my ass off
love your work
This also relates to work experience.
I do meetings in jazz mode. I come half asleep, without a clue what i'm going to say but I just fearlessly improvise something and it turns out ok.
I love to watch your right hand when you play, I hope I can play that way someday.
The shy “thank you” and small wave is too real
Lucas, you should do a video illustrating the Dunning-Kruger effect in guitar playing. Great vocalisation btw. :)
Спасибо за великолепный уровень игры👍👍👍 и искромётный юмор!!!😄😄😄
You are making great videos 🍀❤️
I have always loved jazz and got myself a guitar to learn and play. Only knew 4 chords,that 4 chords is not even the basic ones lol. I wish to be a player like you,ur an idol
Another Masterpiece of musical entertainment and virtuosity... 🤩
It’s nice that we are here, to listen to Lucas.
cant wait for your original instrumenral pieces
I have the same Audio pro T3 speaker... haha! I enjoy your videos so much bro 😌🙏
Really creative way to transport the message
That was most excellent!! 🎉
Came for the laughs....transcribed some of the pro solo and learned some tasty lines! +1 Sub Great stuff!
This is my best case scenario. Thank you so much
thanks for the best 2 minutes of the day
The expression on the “classical pro’s” face cracks me up every time.
No one talking about the “where else?” bit, and it srsly had me in tears XD
a minor pentatonic phase is so true, im stuck there
h e l p
Funny stuff Lucas!😀
🤣🤣🤣 you're killing it bro. You should do a serie "hamronizing weird modes" like "Adam Neely scales chalenge"
I guess that white robe got some magical powers after all! 🎸❤️
Alright man, you win. Subscribed. Killed me with this one.
Nothing is more fun than rocking back and forth while vocalizing and auditing during improvisation
Audiating*
Real talent right here. I'd love to hear some original music! ☺️
might be my fave vid of yours
Best stuff on tube!!
Hilarious level 5, please get me on the guest list for your next appearance at Ronnie Scott's . Brilliant
Very funny - I love it! please - more - Bravo!
damn, that jazz pro level was some quality stuff man, loved it.
Oh my, the sleepy one is marvellous!
Where am I ?... Of course the local bar
omg the jazz pro part made me smile from being amazed/delighted how beautiful it was
I love you man!
Man it s so funny and accurate, and good chorus too :P
Just passing phase 4 😂😂😂 Pro solo was heart melting btw!
the jazz pro version really kicks asses anyway. Randomly got there, you have some serious skills and amazing vocabulary + shades in your play
1.beginner
2.blues
3.bebop
4.free jazz/modal
5.classical
6. Modal/combo style jazz
What about something for guys who play Big band like Count Basie etc
Bro, the pro level phrasing and note selection 🤯
That level 5 solo was beautiful
I just discovered that I love fearless people so I put a thumb up !
Bossa nova always looming large in your solos! s2
Amazing !! Felicitaciones
I ve been hooked by your double 😕
You’re incredibly funny, love it
Funny as Always. Good scat singing!
Genius Lucas
