  • so cool. no, too cool. now I'm addicted.

  • @Guaraonline

    I'm sure you could find the chords online, it's a very common song

  • @Rocknroller5555

    Heh, I thought he was joking :)

  • Is anyone a guitar or keyboard player here that they can give the chords please ??? Thank you for posting

  • He belongs in the gallery of greats with Gambale, Holdsworth, Joe Diorio, and Bill Connors.

  • Comment removed

  • Lewis Black on the guitar??? jk

  • Wes Montgomery signature guitar?, he's also certainly playing in Wes's style!

  • quieeerooooo las parituras o las notas para saxo alto si es posible ;) de este temaso del maestro stevie wonder genioo!!! e-mail ezeluc2006@hotmail.com saludos!!!

  • 13 people saw a guitar in the thumbnail and wanted to hear a Kirk Hammet solo?

  • NICE WES MONTGOMERY L-5..... My Dream Guitar!!!

  • Playing from the school of Django.

  • i swear to you i just saw that guy shred on his saxiphone. 

  • I want his guitar.

  • ainda prefiro o Joe Pass

  • 4:38 - 4:40 I just fell out of my chair.

  • Wait a minute? Bireli could play great way before Jaco? So Jaco was NOT Bireli's mentor.

  • @BABAHARIDASS Na, Jaco was A mentor to him. I'm sure he had many mentors in his life. Just cause you have natural talent doesn't mean you don't learn from others.

  • I suspect he may have played before. ;-)

  • Gorgeous tone from Bireli, and that's a sm00th sax player too! This just made my day.

  • @lionsome

    Jaco Pastorius was Birelli's mentor years ago:)

  • Lagrene is a gift from god to people who love listening the guitar.

  • I love the volume slide in the middle of the solo. Fits in beautifully.

  • lovely version!!

  • para mi pequeña bebe!

  • This is the only jazz tune i can mastrubate to :)

  • He has set the bar...I love him and find him very inspirational and the combination of emotion, technique and his ability to be open and let the universe play through him is a beautiful thing.

  • Wonderfull!

    

  • Bireli looks lewis black lol

  • Man, you're trying to compare Birelli with Benson. Hilarous.

  • a bit of George Benson's phrasing combined with the gypsy feeling ... just so great!!!

  • Isnt Bireli lovely! and I love the sax (tenor, i thought)

  • 2:10 oh yeah he's into it

  • I really should know this but is that and alto or a tenor?

  • @youngun550 its a tenor.

  • fantastic !

  • Four great sounding acoustic instruments, a wonderfull sax solo following by an impressing guitar solo with a fantastic pure archtop tone - a pleasure to hear and to watch!

    A wonderfull song played groovy true to the moment - Jazz at it´s best with four top players. Well done!!! Want more...

  • Did you guys really open your ears to what he's playing ? sure he plays some fast notes but he's always using very harmonic phrases. One can say i don't like it but who gives you the right to judge liek this ? do you practice or play ? a polemic tone ? you, who said that would be proud to have his tone !!! and what exactly is malmsteen ? that's a great question and disqualifies the one who wrote it. Like the uploader said " stop arguing ! "

  • @ilcongia what exactly is Malmsteen and a polemic tone

  • Comment removed

  • trop trop trop trop de notes trop de tout musiciens geniaux mais trop trop trop !!!

    comme un plat trop gras !!! burp !!!

  • Comment removed

  • Is that a Gibson ES-175 or a different model?

  • @KevinZelin1984

    The ES-175 has a Florentine cutaway and two P90s. Looks like a Wes Montgomery L-5 CES.

  • So fucking bad version, they kill he´s song.

  • Biréli has 273k views on this vid, and only 8 dislikes! :D That is pretty amazing! ;)

  • too much stuff...One of the problems of some jazz guitarists is that are effected by the Malmsteen's sindrome...

    This could be explained......playing fast is so fucking entertaining on guitar!!.....ahahah

  • @ilcongia you have to go trough your mind-limits. i think you listen in your life only rock and metal music, where lighting speed notes are played like an exercise on gym. jazz is also speed, mind-speed. the rythmical changes in a rapid phrase, the phrases played to create a dissonance, you can understand this type of expression only if you listen a lot of jazz music.

  • @SchizoidMan90

    I don't understand people with this polemic tone.....mind speed...ahahaha

  • @SchizoidMan90 fantastico vi parlate in inglese pur essendo entrambi italiani!questo è jazz!

  • @bumbo612 mica l'avevo capito!

    vabbè resta il fatto che deve ascoltarsi un po' più di jazz il ragazzo :)

  • @ilcongia Nothing to compare with the malmsteen thing :)

  • @Samymakintosh

    Truly! I was just noticing that in my opinion he was playing too fast, and the result is such that polemic tone..I don't think that this is so much better than malmsteen from a emotional point of view....Now I have to expect tha baddest comments on me.... but I'm convinced on what I'm writing....

    This man has nothing to share with django, wes or pass...

  • This is true art.

  • Beau, très beauoooooooooooo !

  • i love it

  • Staggering unsung genius of jazz guitar Bireli imho probably the greatest guitarist in the world his sheer inventiveness and invention never ceases to surprise and amaze me (looks like Franz Schubert playing guitar the look of a dispassionate maestro lol) Interesting how his style has eveolved to incorporate the playing styles of Beson and Wes with Django into his unique scintillating voice ...check out uruguayan guitarist from Amsterdam Leonardo Amuedo who is imo of comparable stature

  • 2:48..that walkdown...fit soo perfectly

  • is she not lovely?

  • 1:55 and 7:23 are my favorites here, love Bireli's accompaniment/comping - not counting his solo of course

  • sax olayer is Frank Wolf apparently

  • @MrMaestranza man you seem like you just discovered there were better guitar players than clapton... there's no need to trash him here (don't get me wrong, i love clapton).

  • 8 boneheads thumbs down!!! What planet are you from?

  • what a player ! ....so great music

  • :-D smoooooooth . . . . . . . .

  • i think i just experienced my own heaven :O

  • @maxxxx1972

    It's Frank Wolf

  • what chords is he playing

    

  • @LaxBro11796

    is'nt she lovely regular chords with tentions

  • @LaxBro11796 i have one word for ya ''Transcribe !"

  • @LaxBro11796 just google it

  • @LaxBro11796 U serious ? :p

  • who's the dude on sax?

  • I absolutely LOVE Bireli's phrasing and tasteful runs. Such a pleasure to listen to.

  • Arguing is senseless, this music must just be enjoyed

  • This is simply beautiful

  • i like the 536 people who liked this..:-)

    

  • 8 people listen to 50 cant and are too cool!

  • @soulkonducta2 maybe that is why he is impressive

  • Damn... this is music.

  • I want him to perform with Stevie! :)

  • bireli jsi skveli kytarysta

  • He's got a special swing, that i really like, but the saxphonist is the Senasation in this video!

  • nice tenor sax player

  • Who is the sax player?

  • @deepislandboy Franck Wolf :)

  • I want to be that big dude just chillin in the chair stumming away watching all these amazing musicians rape their instruments.

  • @deepislandboy Don't overlook is comping. He's doing great playing the backing chords

  • @xdivinebladex Couldnt have said it any better. Many people overlook rhythm and those that do end up having a dull playing style.

  • They do not know that it is not the sword that makes the man, but the man that makes the sword!

  • Fuckingtastic

  • I would be happier if all comments were disabled on you tube.

  • Enough with the argument about "who CAN"... Does it even matter in music? Bireli Lagrene choose to play JAZZ, and is great in what he does! Malmsteen choose to play METAL, and he is great in what he does! Now let's just enjoy the music.

  • @twingelink peeps think they can compare artists from different styles. Childishhhh!! but imo jazz guitarists are more well versed in a huge spectrum of techniques.

  • U GUYS ARE ARGUUING AB SOEMTHING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MUSIC !BC SATRIANI OR BIRELLI

    IF YOU NO BOTH OF THEM U CANT DECID BC THY ARE TH BEST IN THR STYLEEEEEEEEEEEE JUST ENJOY IT

  • Tres bon travail de ces musiciens et du sax un plus !... biensur Bireli aussi ...

  • Wow! I really like the way Bireli outlines the harmonies with his melodie lines the old fashioned way - and when you start getting used to it he surprises your ear by going off key a little. He really went the way from gypsy jazz to modern jazz and back. Bireli is at home in any jazz idiom be it traditional or avantgarde.

  • stop arguing :)

  • heppplaaaa

    

  • heppplaaaa

    

  • stop arguing

  • Hey, Hono takes a really cool rhythm solo in one of these videos. Could someone please respond with the link please?

    Its super amazing.

  • why are we talking about Malmsteen? This is jazz? btw #

    Twistchawa you're a fucking idiot

  • Meme sans la voix de stevie j'ai adorer hoo la music...

  • Sax sounds plastic.

  • the sax player is a master of dynamics

  • ビデオカメラ販売の今日の日曜バイト、どんどん質問を交わしてい­った旦那の横で、しっかり聞いている奥さんの目の下の大きなお腹­を見たら生き返った。

    

  • @morockstation men, so right

  • Bireli's ill ???? He seems to have lost so much weight !!

  • @Attilio75 I don't think he's sick, I just think he got tired of all the baby fat...He seems to be playing quite a bit better, too. He fell off a bit a few years back.

  • One of he best out there..

  • Beautiful Sax work. So fluent, restrained and tasteful. Great feel to this classic song. Bireli doesn't overplay too much, very smooth, ebullient and Benson-like. Sensational work. M

  • God you international countries are lucky, getting legends like these to play in your country. We rarely get people other than mainstream folks here in NZ ... I envy yal!

  • gave me chills

  • Is she not lovely? Methinks she is, perchance. Is she most certainly not pulchritudinous? Forsooth, verily she is!!

  • senor Lagrene , eres un maestro.

  • Couple of years ago I red about some "wrong chooses" concerning Bireli's career.

    If these "wrong chooses" has brought him on this way ...well..I guess to mistake as he did!

  • Shit to the F1 rides of Malmsteen Satriani & Steve Vai! W Bireli!

  • Isn't this wonderful?

  • Who's bashing bireli?

    He created guitar

  • Lagrene you're my idol.

  • Amazing that every video of a guitarist turns into a massive "who's better" flame war.

    Having said that - THIS IS SHITE.

  • imagine my surprise to be watching this amazing video of a gypsy jazz virtuoso playing an awesome stevie wonder tune, and look in the comment section to find a long stream of comments on malmsteen, what is wrong with you guys!?!?!?! :P

  • What's all this Malmsteen nonsense? This is Birelli's gig and he's the dog's bx. I have only one criticisim. I went to a jazz guitar week in wrexham a few years ago on the strength of Bireli being there and he never turned up.

    I can forgive anything of anyone who can play with the angels like Bireli!

  • I love his L-5! :D The smoothest guitar sound in the whole world! <3

  • What is y.b.rip.palmsteen?? Has nothing to do with music? Maybe sports ?

  • Fantastic........

  • You are so talented I will share this video with all my friends.

    gaeta

  • wow this man is awesome. i think his solo style is quit same with andreas oberg. really catchy

  • Double bass is not tuned or it's my ears...?

  • grandiosa esecuzione!!!!!!note sublimi e raffinate!grannnnndiiiiiiiiii!­!!!!!!magari riuscissi a suonarla cosi....

  • birelli and holdsworth in a jam,...when?

  • Why are you folks discussing some third rate hack when you could listen to the solo here, which is jaw-dropping good. Bireli is the best...

  • @johnnylance Ha ha - well said my friend :-)

  • Comment removed

  • one thing you have to remember a lot of american jazz musician left the state in the 50's to come to france cause the french have a great love for jazz

  • the best french guitar player

  • Bireli is playing the Gibson L-5 Wes Montgomery, but the great sound is from the man - not the guitar!

  • @oledossing so very true!

  • Lmfao ! Ha ha ha ! Oh wow !

  • Thats te best guitar jazz sound! hey i wanna have te concert tooo!

  • damn! I have this full concert..

  • wow nice

  • wich guitar is playing bireli?

  • Happy music!

  • the saxaphonist reminds me a little bit of michael brecker, maybe not as fusion oriented, but he's very similar in sound and tone

  • Haha brad Piit On bass HAha

  • Malmenstein is a monumentally permed and tight trousered rocker with a sound to make teeth bleed. Bireli can't compete on hair and has ordinary trousers, but every part of me loves his music.

  • Bireli played just like Malmsteen when he was only 17 or 18. Look up "bireli shreds" on youtube here and see :D And yes, Malmsteen wins on awesome hair, the only area of life Bireli cant beat him in

  • UmbrellaCorp666,

    Malmsteen also wins in creating his own sub-genre of music. The neo-classical term was coined after HIS release of Rising Force.

    You don't have to like Malmsteen or his music in order to respect what that man has accomplished, which is more then most ppl.

    Bireli is amazing and, indeed, can play in different styles because he loves them all. He's no typical jazz-snob that hates rock. In fact he incorporates a lot of stuff in his playing because he probably loves all music.

  • 5:18 ftw

  • like

  • Brad Pit on bass !!

  • ha, and quinten tarantino on sax!

  • Still, they make it seem like the song was destined to become instrumentally interpretated, what a melody!

  • I'd love to hear play this, only with one of his acoustics instead!

  • what a great sound! and that solo rips! bireli is the man

  • Wow!

  • this owns

  • I enjoyed the Take The A Train quote

  • Man, so very impressive. I'm in awe every time I watch this, with Birelli and the saxophone. Also, Yngwie Malmsteen is no disgrace, but I would listen to this over him any day of the week. Just because someone plays something you don't enjoy doesn't mean they aren't outstanding.

  • he's SO very influenced by George Benson..but still..i consider this guy the MJ of jazz Guitar..so versatile..its amaxzing to see how the great guitarist are still studying Wes Montgomery and George Benson(maybe thats why theyre great.)

  • bireli is about 15 years younger than benson....watch birelis video from when he was 12...hes a prodigy...clearly...they all influence each other....martino, wes, django, rosenberg, farlow, breu, green, christian....everybody steals everybodies licks....and everybody stole those licks from ellington, goodman, fats, hines, or basie..
