A prodigious talent from a young age, and now renowned as one of this generation’s most skilled jazz guitar players, Julian Lage is well equipped to dispense advice on how to improve on a theoretical approach to guitar. When speaking to the Broken Record Podcast - recorded live at the Blue Note Club in New York - Lage was asked by hosts Justin Richmond and Don Was how he became such a dexterous player of both jazz and blues.
“I find great support in knowing that I'm far from the only person doing this. You know, it was here before me, and it’ll be here when I'm dead, so I'm just passing through, you know?" Lage said. “I [ultimately] wanted to be part of a creative project, and in order to do that and feel comfortable, I needed to deal with a lot of things that are really no one else's business. That's scales, that's theory and that's understanding guitar.”
