Wow just realized "Where's the sheet music?" is the classical musician version of "do you have the tabs bro?" 🤣

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 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.

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) 😉

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 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 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 :)

Thank you for continuing to inspire people to play guitar and jazz.
Always a delight Lucas, God bless you!
playing and singing the same notes are incredibly impressive to me
Thanks! Loved the end part :) The way you hit those notes with the guitar and your voice... you are really something.

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.

The whole book treats this problem. There is a pointed discussion in Chapter 4 "Technique"

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.

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.
Your skill has been an inspiration for a while for me. Thanks.
This is so much fun & great playing to back up the humorous touches!
hahahah nice! "because no one is listening anyway" . Very freeing, that feeling, I'm sure. Nicely done!
The shy “thank you” and small wave is too real
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.
The playing is amazing as always. The acting and clothes selections were hilarious:). Great job.
this video just make'd my day better.
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 😂
man i just love you. your playing your style... everything
You are a natural for comedy, with or without the guitar. You should have another channel just for sketch comedy.
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

KZread became such a better place since I found your channel. Thank you so much for being here!
You are one guitarist i admire so much, i wish to get to your level someday.
I’ve got a buddy I play with who does the “contacting the devil” face a lot and it killsss me 😂😂
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
Awesome man..you are best jazz guitarist...your fly me to the moon version is still my favourite 😍😍🎉🎉😊😊
That's the best solo for "All of Me" i've heard. Cheers man!
Amazing video keep going bro you're so good! 🔥
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?
Good to see you again, Lucas!
I guess that white robe got some magical powers after all! 🎸❤️
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!
This guitar/voice solo was sooooo beautiful ! just listend twice, i loved it !
love your work
It's a good day when Lucas uploads :)
Impossible not to smile... bravo as always... 😊👏
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.
Your videos are always amazing....
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

cant wait for your original instrumenral pieces
a minor pentatonic phase is so true, im stuck there h e l p

might be my fave vid of yours
You are making great videos 🍀❤️
Another Masterpiece of musical entertainment and virtuosity... 🤩
Oh my, the sleepy one is marvellous!
That was most excellent!! 🎉
I love you man!
that scat solo was actually cold asl
That level 5 solo was beautiful
... 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 ✅
No one talking about the “where else?” bit, and it srsly had me in tears XD
Funny stuff Lucas!😀
damn, that jazz pro level was some quality stuff man, loved it.
I have the same Audio pro T3 speaker... haha! I enjoy your videos so much bro 😌🙏

Ha...man, that sounded amazing and was funny as hell! Loved the scatin'!
