I would say it's more like not just scale practicing but arpeggio and target note practicing (as in this particular case it always comes to Fmaj7). Anyway I always admire Julian Lage's abilty to turn simple things into pure art.
@@semyaza555Target notes are typically the most characteristic chord tones, so here that’s F, A, C, E (1,3,5,7). If it were a Dominant11 chord, you would want to target the 4th in the upper octave and the flat 7, so target notes would be F,A,C,Eb, Bb (1,3,5,b7,11). Targeting some of those notes means playing them on strong beats or at key moments in a melodic line, especially when changing chords, in order to emphasise the harmonic movement in chord changes. I hope that makes sense.
Julian's def a genius... But Bach didn't have a single random note in his compositions. It's all just perfectly aligned and derived from meticulous motifs, themes and melodies. God of music haha
Super-impressive -- but not sure (besides being awed) how useful those students found this -- kinda like watching an Yngwie demo (amazing, but not doable).
NO! To play jazz that sounds like you know what you’re doing and not just noodling, you need to be playing chord tones on strong beats a majority of the time, not just random notes from the scale.
I think the point is that to play scales in what SEEMS like a random order you have to really concentrate on the notes in the scale, and so this exercise helps to reinforce your knowledge of that scale. If you just play a scale in the usual order, it's too easy to do it without concentrating, because the intervals between the notes (tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone for a major scale) are the same for any scale.
This is the _given_. Shedding like he's talking about is so you dont have to play what you practice. He's making the point that you should shed in a way where you train your brain to drive your fingers to exactly what it hears. Theres a _lot_ to unpack from what he just demo'd and what I commented on.
There is nothing worse, nor a bigger waste of time!!!, for someone to do this… “Someone mentioned how to mix up scales..proceeds to play it so fast you can’t taken anything from it….except he likes to show off.
You're not supposed to take anything other than "you can play a scale however you want" from it. He's just demonstrating how not boring scale practice has to be. Imagine thinking Julian Lage has an ego.

That string skipping is just absolutely insane at that speed and clarity.
He’s hybrid picking, so he’s not “skipping” strings he is just using a pick and his fingers at the same time
It's cool right? ... (dead silent)
It's hard to speak when your jaw is on the floor.
God bless you for posting a transcription

Could you explain what you mean a bit more (if you don't mind)? Specifically the target note practicing part. Just want to better understand.

@@edwardjons8684 That makes perfect sense. Thank you.
Bar 15 to 17 is incredible. So cool!
Bravo
My favourite part of the masterclass.
He just revealed Bach's secret: scales in random order

@@acevaptsarov8410 god, people taking these comments at face value...
@@martinpaddle facepalm lol
@@martinpaddle you must defend lord Bach, man
thanks ! love it
I think that he is improvising, don't you think ?
yes, when your scales practice sounds like music, not like a study, you're probably on the right path
@@luancaetedearaujo1059 you are right !
Great job, maaan ! Thanks ! I ll take the PDF
Gracias, esta genial
Nice Work!!
godlike
I hope that my actual playing one day sounds close to as good as this guy's scale practicing
Praying for you brother 🙏
This guy's an alien, right?
Reminds me of Pat Metheny's crazy arpeggios masterclass in Italy.
Is there video of it anywhere online?
Looks like a Bach piece. Nice
So basically: Can you do this? No you can't heeheh
How can you hear that and not clap lol
This was filmed in Japan, clapping after that, and while he went on talking, would be considered disrespectful.
Melody was invented in 1091.
People before 1091:
BooooMestra👏👏
he said in random order, and of course someone went to the lengths of transcribing this. lol
Abowwwww

It's a process
So is this how you make Jazz? Play scales in random orders? That's a great insight lol

"that's how you practice any scale."
Shut up, Julian....
Jesus Christ
😝😜🤪🤨🧐
-its cool right?
-(no, its not cool )
😂
Ughh. Is this intentional or random? Seems a bit scattered with no sense of direction
And what did this teach us? Nothing
=/
It taught me to try practicing scales in random order and it was helpful.

Yes it is cool, but it's not scale, it's phrase. You make phrase out of the scale, that is the point of music :D

@@fiftyghoststrading8500 Great way of putting it
the first thing he said was that this was a practice of scales in random orders. he didnt say "heres a scale".
meaningless showing off.....s
give up the guitar with that sad attitude bro
