5 Minute Guitar Lesson: Julian Lage’s Practice & Warm Up Tips
In this 5-Minute Lesson, Lage explains the benefits of practicing quietly on the acoustic guitar. “You think when you play an acoustic guitar you have to work harder, or play with more muscular tension, or somehow manifest a sound. One of the things that has helped me a lot, is practicing extremely quietly, and touching it very gently. Try to get in touch with your guitar’s ability to turn whatever you do into a beautiful sound. That’s why acoustic guitars are cool, they are doing a lot of the work for you.”

Learning to play with a soft touch is the one thing that put me here behind because I have learned from YouTube videos instead of having someone in the room to give me feedback. Now that I practice fly picking and strumming as soft as possible I can play way more complicated stuff with my left hand because it doesn’t buzz anymore as easily
The idea of letting the guitar provide tone, and 'do it's share of the work' is my bread and butter! I play nothing but acoustic – after many years of electric guitar 'worship'. I play first and foremost to bring myself happiness. There is something about taught wires vibrating over a skillfully made box of wood that brings comfort perhaps equalled only by a crackling fire in a hearth….My practice (and my playing) consists of maximizing that glorious sound…
You have such a nice approach. It's actually quite rare nowadays. All glories! People are getting more and more rough and there is so much aggression everywhere, even in music, which is a godly gift and should be approached very calmly.

I love him I didn't expect him to be so gentle like that lol it shows the kind of person he is fs
Me too, trying to play quietly has really improved my playing. Playing more relaxed as well.
I didn’t think that I was even capable of playing without vibrato after all these years. But I slowed down and gave it a shot and walla. Thanks
Gen Z guitar! ????
Friendliest cat in the world!
I don’t think young Julian actually knew what his guitar teacher meant when he told him “Don’t be a one handed guitar player”. Bless ????
These are really good advises. I wish someone told me 40 years ago.
He can touch me gently
You are????????
Belles pensées (techniques..) pour nous tous, merci. Vous faites dans l’originalité, ça fait du bien.
Wow, what a gentle, introspective, visionary, gifted musician he is. The guitar is an extension of him as a person and as a gifted creative. How wonderful it must be to be him and to possess these enormous abilities. He's a blessing to the world — a splendid, soaring talent who has enriched us all immeasurably. Thank for for posting this enlightening video!
Excellent, Excellent practice advice.
for sure Julian's strength is in his very delicate touch.
Lovely man, lovely comments, so I'll be turd in this punch bowl and point out that the videographer needs new glasses.
Thanks for good tips and encouragement.
BUT, you don't expect us to believe that you actually play a crappy Waterloo guitar to practice, right?
Dude, is this an ASMR video? Speak up.
