Published 2023-09-28
I recently had the honor of studying guitar with master improviser Julian Lage. In this video, I review three of Julian's powerful exercises to help UNBLOCK your guitar playing and break out of lead and rhythm guitar ruts.
Includes live footage of Julian improvising on his signature Collings acoustic, playing "Darn That Dream" for a small audience of students.
