I once had the sublime pleasure of watching Sylvan Luc playing one morning in the lobby of a hotel. We just sat round him for about an hour and he chatted and played. He played alot of Brazilian stuff with unusual tunings and then the most stunning version of Giant Steps in which he, in one of his unusual tunings, just went round and round the melody each time developing his voicings. He has the ability to create music as beautiful as it is impressive. Spectacular musician.

does anyone else notice that even when bireli is soloing luc is still leading the band? this dude is totally breathtaking!

2 greatest guitarists of all time

Holy Shite!!! That was burning! Their solos were stylistically completely different from one another. How completely cool was that?!

my god, ever note lucs plays is breathtaking!

Playing of the highest caliber. To sustain interest at that tempo, you need to be master players. These are!

Rip pour sylvain 🙏

THIS IS INSANE. Bireli is a true shredder mann. On a random note, Merry Christmas everyone(:

I might add the bassist is pretty awesome too!

Ça swingue grave

super jazz solo B.Lagrene&S.Luc...

Bireli and Sylvain's styles are very complementary; Bireli has that gorgeous clarity and tone for leads, and Sylvain just has the most ridiculous chordal ideas of any guitarist I've ever seen. Two thumbs up!

I love the Guitar and all the cats who play it like madmen!!

I am bewildered & frustrated how artist like these do not get the appreciation. BUT Clapton, D. Allmon, BB King, Keith Richards do. They are all rated in top 10 by Rolling Stone. WHAT? I see other top guitarist poles with Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Page etc. (Maybe I am the idiot). Some one PLEASE explain it to me.

❤❤❤

Awesome!!

Et cecarelli il fait le job !

Awesome Performance!

wow!

Funkin Bass man !!!

Yeah, and Stella.

Great!

These guys shred (forgive me for using this term) just as well, if not better, than some of the top rated so called shredders, who just play through boring arpeggios, pentatonics, and harmonic minor modes. Brilliant.

yesssss.....

The Godin sound....I am beginning to like it on some tunes....distinctive.....but this tune i like with a true jazz guitar sound...

HOLY SHIT THE CHORDS AT 200!!!

@idontbelieveok yes they are and that's why i uploaded this video to youtube

Yes, and Mike Tyson is the Tiger Woods of boxing

Is there a DVD of this concert?

Effing fantastic, was this on TV? Or is it for sale?

@idontbelieveok I don't criticize. Actually, I really enjoy Lagrene's or Luc's playing

this makes me want to quit playing or practice more depending on my mood. These guys can't be beat!

@idontbelieveok I believe music isn't all about technique. It's not a 100m run. Of course, opinions may vary, some people like to hear virtuoso music, but a lot - I'd say: most - doesn't give a fuck if a guitarist can surpass devil in speed. Music is about feeling the power inside, taking pleasure of of it. And that's why lots of people call Jimmy Page, Angus Young or even Kurt Cobain a guitar god

wtf- that's mental...

would you repeat your comment in english ? i'm not french...

@aldertguitarist1 It is true that these guys shred better than anyone. I will say this, no average music consumer has any idea what the hell a Harmonic Minor scale is, yet alone a Melodic or Hungarian Minor scale is when they hear it. In the MAINSTREAM, It isn't about notes or scales. Even when those 50s jazzers reinvented a new bebop scale, nobody cared and it was heavily criticized. Music is dead in the mainstream. Hendrix is just a fond memory now. I know, it sucks.

@atanaciotonyhernande :D:D:D:D:D:D:D yes :D:D:D:D you have a good sense of humor but what you say is true

Mozart would like it.

you know luc's tone isn't supposed to be jazz, it has nylon strings when bireli has got metal strings

@idontbelieveok there is NO way to measure a value of a musucian. You can only either say: I enjoy this music or: I do not. If you believe you can say that Yngwie Malmsteen is BETTER than Jimi Hendrix just because of his technique, it only equals that you are narrow-minded. Neither one is better, and the title of "guitar god" (which, by the way, I don't support) doesn't depend on the player. It depends on the listener

Fast tempo

Impressive playing skills. But they suck the lyricism straight out of this piece. I prefer Emily Remlers version.
