The sound guy should get a raise ..
I’m guessing you like the job he did, but what you suggest sounds like he doesn't get paid enough and therefore does a bad job.
He basically has two microphones to mix... The sound is good and all, but you don't exactly need a college degree to acheive the sound mix in this performance ;)
@@Chromozol I don't follow your "logic" at all here.
@@patukkable 3 the guitar has a cable
I did monitors for Jose Gonzales at a festival last year. His FOH engineer really did a great job, and I must say even doing monitors its really nice to be able to hone in and focus on the low channel count to get the best out of each source.
man this guy can tune a guitar
this performance made me quit my job and take up shoemaking in Patagonia
Miles Chandler ha!! Hilarious!!!! Spat my coffee out 😂😂
So your the dirty American pushing out all the local cobblers in Argentina.
I heard the sound of compassion the second he started to sing. Makes me wondering if he's vegetarian or on some spiritual way.
Anyway, congratulation on ur decision! Handicraft career is GREAT! Especially in nowdays! Keep on! Wish u a happy life
Nice one.
zapatero a tus zapatos!
This crowd is sooooo respectful and remain QUIET while he's playing. Very rare these days!
That's because they were not drinking. I think drinking and eating during a show like this should be prohibited, just like Kings of convenience use to do on their presentations. It's respectful with all the efforts to compose such subtle melodies and for us to hear them just like the composer want us to do.
God forbid that anyone make any sound when they hear music they really enjoy, like all Radiohead fans at a live show.
I've been in a little venue in Duncan, Vancouver Island, were things are like that, they live stream everything also, it call's Duncan Showroom lot of good live shows there too.
They knew who they were gonna watch live and just enjoyed a brilliant musician's expressions.
go to one of his concerts. Most of them are pretty similar. Its Jose Gonzalez after all :)
one of those rare instances where an immensely talented guitarist also has a proper sense of restraint. incredibly nuanced playing.
the way he sings almost makes the lyrics sound like an internal monologue. really beautiful.
Best Jose take on the internet

People's hero
Guitars: González plays an Alhambra classical guitar onstage and Alhambra, Esteve, and Córdoba classicals while recording.
Amps: for live performances, a Fishman Prefix Pro Blend in the Alhambra. When performing solo, he also plays into whatever condenser mic the venue supplies.
Strings: La Bella polished nylon, high tension.
Capo: Shubb C5 partial.
Picks: González plays only with his fingernails, reinforced with a nail strengthener.[15]
González consistently uses 'altered' guitar tunings in his tunes, de-tuning the 6th (E) string down to D for all his songs, with the 3rd (G) string altered between F#, G and A from tune to tune (e.g. A in his cover of Hand on Your Heart and F# in Heartbeats.) He does the retuning himself during live performances rather than using three different guitars on stage.
i have notice the other day that i have the same guitar, and somehow wanted to make the same music...
what tuning does he use, longshot
What about his foot? It has a mic and a place to tap on for this performance, right?
What model is it please?
@@bubbaluv6487 Several tunings, he is all over the place but his tunings are posted online. I can try to help.
For anyone who mistakes complexity and exhibitionism for talent and art, I submit the humble enchantment of this man’s music. It’s too bad that the charts rarely reflect the stuff that makes gods weep. Thank you, Jose Gonzalez.
charts don't work, stop caring about it, there is no hope for it, the masses will always prefer the bad stuff
@@mc1069 so true.
You are all such snobs
I think his songs are relatively complex, he is a better singer than a guitarist
So well put 👏
I was looking for some relaxing music to listen to while working, but this performance grabbed my full attention and had my heart hammering in my chest the entire time. He's so amazing.
perfect for that if you don't need to sleep :P
I Totally Agree with you my Freind!!! I Accidentally came up upon this about a year ago.. I play Guitar myself so its extra Special to me learning jis Songs!!!!
Same here lol
@@ronmounts8075 those starting to learn fingerstyle technique would do well to learn from Jose. He's pretty shockingly steady with his right hand.
same here! two years later :D
That outro on "Killing for love" was perfect
Jose Gonzalez is modern mix of Silvio Rodriguez with Nick Drake... nothing bad can come out of those super singer-songwriters.
Totally. Whenever I listen to him without knowing I´m like "Is that SIlvio Rodriguez singing in english?"
I never heard of those references but I went to both of those artists and subbed to the channels knowing that you must be right. I came back to thank you.
Nick Drake was the first thing that came to mind listening to this.
With a little Cat Stevens
and Ryan Adams in "Live at Carnegie Hall"..
Mmmm...this sounds so good in my headphones...thank you sound guy!!!! Melty velvet.
How one guy with one acoustic guitar can make so much music is beyond me! Fantastic!
nylon guitar to. rare
yea. It's absolutely astonishing how he does this much with so little
You should check out Nick Drake then, they sound really similar in some aspect and it's just this great man and his guitar
Oud
How is it that all KEXP versions sound better than the original no matter who is playing. You guys are amazing. Thanks for this channel and for every video you put up so meticulously recorded.
you can thank the audio crew they set up everything and made it sound perfect
Whoever their engineers are, they deserve a huge payrise - KEXP sound is phenomenal!
i swear surfing you tube has it's rewards!
I’ve likely heard every song Jose has written from my ex girlfriend playing his music constantly.
I always liked his music but never let the need to listen to him on my own time since he was always there with us. Now she’s gone, on an island on the other side of the world back where she came from, and I’m here with Jose, and that’s alright.
Some things you just can’t shake.
Thank you mom and dad for paying for guitar lessons for me and my brother. 59 now and still playing. This guy melted me with his heart-felt soulful buttery voice and playing. Was able to play along
I see this guy sometimes here in Gothenburg. He's really genuine and humble and doesn't bother showing off fame at all.
Saw him live recently and he entered the stage drinking coffee, it was great
I saw him last monday entering the restrooms just before his concert in Belgium :) ... By the way, the concert was amazing!
@@frederikdc421 with coffee too?
I'm seeing him in St Louis in August. I can't freaking wait! So excited!
Too few naylon accoustic guitarrists in the indie industry... he is a fantastic writer an performer.
very true sentiments
Check out Charlie Cunningham,stunning too!
It's called a 'classical' guitar.
No its not. Its name is modern classical guitar or spaniard guitar. It was invented by Antonio de Torres in the second half of the XIXth century. What i said is correct, though, it is an accoustic naylon stringed guitar. I play guitar since i was 9 and studied modern classical guitar at collegue and i know what im saying, so stop being a wikipedia smart ass. I have a couple of friends who are luthiers that live near me and i have seen with my own eyes how they are made. I dont enjoy your little patronizing attitude upon me, you're a dick.
BTW, where was I being patronising? I was just pointing out it was a classical guitar and not an acoustic. BTW, it's an Alhambra.
Love hearing him tune up. I appreciate this rather than him having a different pre-guitar for every song. Keeps things real and human.
Wow. Just wow. His soothing voice and politeness. I felt like I was there. Thanks for the video.
Perfect musician for reflecting on oneself.
loving Cycling Trivialities at the moment, lovely track.
Life is strange introduced me to this guy. Thank god it did 🙏🏻
I'm super impressed by how quickly and accurately he tunes his guitar. I've been a fan for 15 years now and the man still inspires me. I hope you've used the pandemic to write some new stuff Jose! Your fans are eager!
Home to se finally him in concert
He plays with different tuning on the same guitar... So he get used to tune his guitar to every song he plays. Other guitarist prefers to switch on another guitar with a different tuning...
@@alexandredebs9191 maybe they switch guitars cause they can't tune them?
@sepijortikka
How is he tuning the guitar after every single song tho?
I used to often listen to Jose’s music on long walks with no destination in mind. This specific performance seems to remind me of those walks
I listened to this several times during and after birth of my second child. Had to feel grounded in a hospital atmosphere...this kept me calm and centered
Man I love this version of Line Of Fire.
It's so damn good!
Hits deeper.
Only just clicked when I heard him do Line of Fire that he is also in Junip. 🤦🏻♂️😂
With the Ink of a Ghost is a masterpiece! What an amazing song, gives me shivers every time.
His voice is like food for my soul. I return to his music whenever I am feeling low. Without fail, his music uplifts me. I feel this connection to something bigger!
Yeah, if you eat the same meal 3 times a day for 60 years.
Same! Every time it gets me
Obviously super late to the party. But whatever.
This guy is spectacular. Doesn't feel like the music is composed -- it feels like it just pours out of him.
Welcome ahahah
Better late than never lol
Very well put
Nah you're right on time, friend
even later... yeah, that's the stuff
The guitar in the bridge of With the Ink of A Ghost is just magical.
Went back and listen carefully because of your comment and you're absolutly right. It's pretty neat! Gonna try and learn that. Would love a tab if you see one.
Stay in the Shade is absolutely transcendental
I love how the deep sound of the guitar combines with the sound of his pleasant voice! Such a warm sound, dreamy mood.
Im with you Also,,, I just love his aspiring voice and his soft guitar playing cause I play guitar myself and ive been learning hus music....
A great example of talent. A lot of people can play, but this is an artist.
For all the guitar players out there who watch videos such as this, you can slow down the speed of the video. I just figured this out so I had to say something.
I watched the first song in 0.75 by accident, only bothered by the sound glitches, the speed seemed right to me, haha
This guitar sounds so good it's almost criminal
Whoever disliked this needs to be ashamed and clear their ears. This is pure music.
One of my first musical loves. 16 year old, queues outside in the cold Manchester rain to get to the front of one of his gigs. Brilliant memories. I agree as well, he’s a humble artist never shows off, just turns up and does the job and melts faces.
The Cycling Trivialities outro will forever be my favorite thing to play, I can just repeat it for hours and not get tired of it.
escucha "Mariposas" de Silvio Rodríguez
What a terrific mix. Very appropriate for the music and sensitive to Jose's album sound.
agreed!
cleanest guitar playing. beautiful
There will never be a time or situation that I will not enjoy this voice.
-Ron Swanson
My gosh, this man is an instrument.
I would complain about who hated this video, but as I listen I can't seem to hate anything....
The first album I ever bought was a José González. That was back in 2003, and its amazing to see a video that is the culmination of his work between then and now. Just beautiful
29:10 Listening in quarantine 2020 :)
26:13
Any chance you could listen to my cover in quarantine plz? ☺️ czcams.com/video/q-UlSwYUzY8/video.html
Claro.
José's voice is indisputably captivating. So content I found him
Not to mention his composition skills and his amazing guitar skills, and his indisputably fantastic songwriting abilities.
I'm glad I enjoyed this with my mom/mum before she died...
'A sky full of ghosts'
I saw Jose Gonzalez at The Triple Door in downtown Seattle in 2008... Been a KEXP supporter since 2005 even after that city broke my heart (Matthew Steele) and I moved away in 2013 💔🎧😪
I wanted to press the "Like" button after every song he played, simply amazing guitarist and a unique voice.
so glad to have come across this! i am a fan from years back. my good friend introduced me. soon after that friend passed away. jose's music holds a special and significant place in my heart. listening always takes me back to that time and is perfect for reflection.
Outstanding I Totally Agree with his Guitar Playing and Calm Voice...
Wonderful music. I only got one thing to say: I've born in the right era.
I was*
300,000 years of the modern human's evolution and it took that many years to reach the first billion people on the planet in the early 1800's. In 200 years the population has jumped to 6.7 billion people, due to advances in medicine and technology.
@@TheJollyGreenGiant cool story
A psychic told me the next one is better.
Well, the world is only getting more polluted every year. Just saying. The air quality is getting worse and worse
This is the most fantastic performance of his I can find. So clean and he is much better as a solo act than a whole group. He should leave that with Junip. He also plays my favorites here. Cycling Trivialities and Killing For Love are amazing. If only he played Teardrop...
Chega ser absurdo de tão linda que é essa performance!
José González, come to Brazil, man!
Veio em maio de 2016.
"Come to Brazil" classic.
2021 e ainda queria vê-lo ao vivo
@@queiroga94 ele veio em 2019, foi PERFEITO. oremos pra ele voltar depois do apocalipse.
@@marianasouza4394 amém
I can imagine this master guitarist collaborating with Ben Howard! The 2 of them singing and playing together? !?!?
Who are the 495 maniacs giving this a 'thumbs-down'? This is incredible.
Some people just don't have the brain to appreciate this.
I first heard Jose from Red Dead Redemption, but FELL IN LOVE with his music after discovering him again from the breaking bad finale trailer. Been a fans since and actually bought an acoustic guitar because of this amazing artist!
Hearing "Far Away" start playing as I rode into Mexico was awesome. He played "Far Away" live at the Spike Video Game Awards in 2010 with RDR footage playing behind him.
his voice has such a calm clarity, it is amazing
He sounds even better live than on his studio played albums
I though I was alone with this jealousy
Of all the bands and people i have seen i my live, im glad i have seen him play. Such a experience...
i keep returning to this so often
First time hearing this man play and I'm a fan now. Wow what a show.
I come here every week and I would be happy just to hear José tuning his guitar. Brilliant performance, and super inspiring for someone learning to play the guitar :)
Good news, a couple days early 😃 I know what I'm going to be doing today. Listening on repeat!
❤🎵🐿️🎵 ♥️
As soon as he started playing crosses I got them goosebumps
Makes me feel like it's worth living. Love this music.Thank you.
"Line of Fire" blow my mind. Thank You.
Something I wrote while listening to this performance:
It is nice to plan the future, you’ve done it for so long. You loved planning everything that was going to take place in 5, 10, 15 and 30 years… You know that there is no need to keep doing that, right?
.
You’ve failed for so long that you’ve forgotten how to live feeling successful, feeling like you don’t need to prove anything to anyone else anymore.
.
You should start to look up to the sky.
Every day.
Enjoy the trees, the flowers, your family and your cat. Enjoy your guitar and singing practice. Create with love and not with desperation.
Leave anxiety and all your fears behind. Be grateful for this specific day that has given you so much.
You live with comfort and peace.
.
Back in my past I used to reconsider my whole life, every week or may be every two days. I knew I was not living the right life for me.
It took me more than a decade of trying and quitting to figure out a way to live a life that suited my soul.
.
If you are reconsidering your life, I believe in you.
thank you
how did you write what i needed to hear?
Thank you Jose and KEXP. I need this to help me get through COVID-19.
Sencillamente, magnifico.
A great talent, so mellow. I saw him live when he was with Zero 7 and he stood out then along with Sia in her not so famous days...
Just heard "Line of Fire" for the first time a couple of weeks ago, it couldn't have come at a better time in my life. A truly profound, raw and truly ethereal lyric-driven song with a melody that only added to its weight. incredible song!
Dear god this guy is amazing!!!
This is the 4th time I enjoyed this performance and José is definitely a convincing character..
There’s something in his simplicity and also even visually that reminds me of Cat Stevens..just wondering if anyone agrees
Yeah I could see the similarities haha, two great musicians
just fell insanely in love with this artist. wow!
So glad he opened with stay in the shade. My wife and I put his music on prior to going to sleep this will be our new go to video
A true musician. So much love for this guy.
I can listen to this everyday
53:24 ♥ love forever!
yassss
How did people not scream and clap their fool hands right off after he did Ink of the Ghost!? I would have been freaking right out! SO AMAZING!
I dont know why, but everytime I hear the firsts chords from Crosses, they hit my heart painfully...
Thanks For Your Concert In Copenhagen About 10 Years Ago :-) ( Our Car Broke Down In Sweden On Our Way Back To NorWay :-) ) HAPPY EASTER-PARADE :-)
Yo lloré dos veces cuando lo ví en vivo. Además me lo encontré afuera del teatro con su familia y fue súper amable. Nunca me había sucedido algo así, gracias José!
En Argentina? Lo sigo desde 2009 pero nunca lo pude ver en vivo...
How a single act, can overflow your emotions while using such restraint and grace. This performance is captivating. I have been lifted, yet again. Every time I come back here.
insanely good tuning of the guitar - probably a signature of josé's sound.. very warm d realms.too humble and one of the greatest artists alive.
One of the best performances on KEXP
Kind of amazing how distinctive a sound Jose Gonzalez has. You'd recognize it anywhere from just the nylon string bluesy open tunings even before he sings.
This man is god's gift to mankind
made my spanish hearth burn, i loved it, actually, im crying of happiness. beautifull music
he has a way of making a really vibrant and whole sound with his guitar, great finger picking also, he's one of those musicians that sound great on their own acoustically, simply one man and a guitar is all you need and he pulls it off so well.
Well said. I'm seeing him by himself in August. I'm super pumped about it. I think he sounds better by himself also. His guitar always has that driving beat. So damn good!
His voice is like a combination of Silvio Rodriguez and Arthur Russell.
Love it.
sii tiene algo de Silvio!!
Is indisputable that we are cycles, we go into the loop over and over. I dont know why i am talking in english because im Argentinian. Whatever, José thank you.
Jose is the reason I learned how to play classical guitar. I remember hearing his recordings and being so sure that he had multiple guitar tracks cuz there was no way someone could play all that at the same time. Then i saw a live performance and I was blown away. He's so amazing
Спасибо KEXP! Вы открыли мне очередного интересного исполнителя) с приветом из России❤
Beautiful playing.. love the feeling that his music evokes.. hope as he says. Thank you Jose, thank you KEXP
Met him with Junip in germany. One of my favorite composers/guitarrist. Ive been fan for more than 13 years. Love from dk
The ending of 'What Will' is absolutely incredible. It grooves so damn hard!
A gently flowing, sparkling mountain stream ... this is heaven ♥♥♥
