Coryell and Di Meola are great players but predictable. Lagrene brings out something new and so different in his note choices. He has just as good a technical ability as Di Meola with more inventive sounds. Coryell knows how to energize the audience, too.
@cosmiclight Larry isn't exactly much older, or whatever. Eleventh House wasn't out that much earlier than when Return to Forever signed on DiMeola.
*Stratoleft: Not sure what I was referring to about Coryell's age but I don't remember comparing the time of Eleventh House to Return to Forever signing on Di Meola. Coryell was playing and performing professionally his early guitar work in the early-mid 1960's when Di Meola was still in middle grade school! Check the Wikipedia history on both.
@xemosintightsx More creative than Coryell? Good drugs you have. Do a little research on Larry starting about 1967 ( probably before you were born) and you will find that he has been and is presently one of the great guitar innovators of the past 50 years. That being said, Birelli is one of the greatest guitarists around today. He was an incredible prodigy- I remember seeing him live with a wonderful guitarist Christian Escoude and Birelli was only 12. A monumental talent.
@leoosiku what coryell did in this video is definitely FAR cooler than the little tremelo minor licks miola throws around every 5 seconds. that being said, bireli's improv was STILL better than coryell's in this vid. this doesnt say anything about coryell's playing in another environment now, does it? why do people on youtube feel entitled to defend musicians as if that'll help them out in some way?
@leoosiku look, i know it's hard to hear bireli b/c the mic guy was a douche, but really try to compare coryell's harmonic concepts to bireli's in THIS vid - we're not discussing what he did in the 60s.
@xemosintightsx Actually I prefer Coryells 12 string playing in this vid. Each to their own. And , I was using 1967 as a reference point to begin with Coryell's catalog. This year check out Duality with Kenny Drew Jr fantastic duet and Montgomery - a drumless trio. They are both fantastic. Incidentally, I saw your vid playing summertime and enjoyed it. Good luck in your playing you certainly have the talent.
The music, the skill are stunning but what the hell with all that mandolin-like sound guitar?! They all were quite immature in picking the electric sound back then (let alone picking the Ovation) - just my personal taste for guitar sound!
@lagrene1 ... hej tiez to riesim..ale podla mna hra jednoduche akordy...si to rozober...nejake kvintove...skor bireli sa nevie trafit do harmonie ... ale aj tak palec hore :)

3:343:39 How this technique called ? Larry coryell is playing chords one after other like if he's solloing .. And where can i find this kind of chords arrangement i want to play it in improvisation and in other songs !
Sorryy for my very bad english , i hope you understand what i'm trying to say .
@pulseof the technique is actually called chording. A lot like soloing but instead of playing one note you play the chord in the chord progression with the right rythm. Flamenco and Bossa Nova players ahve been doing it for years.
@SantomPh Thanks a lot SantomPh for your reply. So all i have to do is find the chord progression of the chord, " A Bm C#/Dbm D E F#/Gbm G#/Abdim " like these ?
@pulseof I suppose- the rhythm and beat is more important. I doubt that's the chord progression though- looks like the entire scale there. In this song at least they vamp on a static chord quite often but with varying rhythms.
This was an absolute gem of a find. SO COOL. Wish Bireli was actually properly mixed into the whole sound... sounded like he was coming out of the PA in another venue. This is the first i've heard Lary Coryell and I think he's sick. Great version. oh and the ending part was fun to hear once but otherwise stupid ending (but who cares, it was top notch playing).
This is a fantastic performance. They can go higher - they're that good. They can go higher by slowing down a touch, closing their eyes, and thinking of - España. I am not complaining because they give us a TON in this performance. I'm just acknowledging that I hear those who want more. Nothing wrong with wanting more, so long as you appreciate what you have - so I tell my children. Love
My new composition rarely performed (iberian Air) featuring me and the group officina acustica quartet ,(a musical project based on re -interpretation of Gismonti Piazzolla,Corea and many original composition)
Soon my original transcription(NOT TAB) of the song available on my web site.
Thanks to all the web friend who write me for my video!
@leoosiku Might as well leave those alone who do not appreciate these Masters. I do not believe Larry, Al or Bireli need to be defended anyway. Their abilities speak for themselves (to those who a palate for taste). I guess that is why they make $3 bottles of wine for those who cannot appreciate the Master Wines.
Hey MahavishnuBoy, I am not crazy Shawn Lane, the cat can throw down. Check out his "hey T-Bone". I see you are a McLaughlin fan. Saw him many times, as long as 37 years ago. Love John but he still sounds the same. Check out Bireli Lagrene, Sylvain Luc, Guthrie Govan, Stochelo Rosenberg and tell me I am loco.
I think Larry is cool, and you guys are right that Al Shreds too much. But I don't like the way Larry pics - its awkward and sounds horrible. Bireli on the other hand is I think the magic here...
ive always much preferred larrys thoughtful melodic style to the speed playing of al and co......its initially impressive but with repeated listens has no substance.
I agree Axiluss, Larry's harmonics are amazing. I love Al D's shreds, but Larry has the imagination & creativity so all his songs do not sound the same. I like shred sometimes too-Batio,Shawn Lane stuff.
AND TZAVARIOUS 81 if Larry sucks, who do you think is good?
i wouldnt say the 'classic' trio is better. this one made a more fusion flavoured arrangement, and Larry does such harmonically complexed things it's unbelievable... maybe he does not shred as much as di meola, but the notes he play are way more interesting i'd say
on Al's facebook under his influences, the first name is Larry Coryell. I also believe Bireli was a student of Larry's. I think it said that on their Bolero CD. Larry Coryell, brought us a new sound that influenced me & MANY others. Larry the master of almost every genre.
At 5:47 you'll notice the grand master *(Coryell is said to have influenced Di Miola, McGlaughlin, Scofield, and many others - Larry is much older than these guys) * See an earlier work, the "Julia La Belle" piece from "The Restful Mind" here in Youtube he performs on acoustic.
He steals the piece here with his amazing individual jazz mastery that he is in the guitar history books for. They all do a nice job together though. Very nice live collaborative performance from all three.
Chick Corea's written lots of great music; when his obit is written (not for decades, I hope), this tune (all props to Rodrigo) will be mentioned every time.
I think this performance of it was stupendous, and anybody that's dismissing the appearance if the "technique" of any of the performers should listen with their eyes closed.
(Leave it to Coryell to burn acoustic fusion on a 12-string.)
@asxefv His action isnt any lower then anyone elses. He just has competant hands. I built or repaired everyone of his guitars from 1993-98 action 3 - 2 32nds 12th fret.
If these guys were playing in your home town you wouldn't be complaining.
Just because they land big gigs don't mean there up for head cutting for the spotlight. Maybe they just play because they love it and this is how it comes out.
Quit making music a competition because you can't compete in the real world.
Maturity will come, otherwise McLaughlin would have not called Bireli a "guitar phenomenon." The mix is even set against Bireli, unfortunately. Out of these three Mr. B is the only one who can "speak" of the "Black Jazz" ala, Wes or Benson though he is a French. Not to mention he can execute sweeping better than these "old" guys...
@reibian Are you kidding. Larry is an incredible straight ahead player and blues player from the from the very tradition you speak. To help you in your listening check out Larry's cds: Monk trane miles and me, Toko Du, Impressions, power trio live,Inner urge, Major Jazz minor blues,Cedars of Avalon New High. Thats enough to get you up to speed. I hope you are young because you sound it.
@leoosiku I guess I like 300 yen bottle of Sake instead of $60 botttle of Bordeaux. In YouTube video "Autumn Leaves Pt1 - Farlow Abercrombie Carlton Coryell " I like Scofield, Abercrombie, the rest and Carlton on the botttom. You can lead a horse to water, but you know... ;p
get real guys. Bireli's show-off, un-matured playing can never compare with the well rounded, tasteful artistry of master Al Di-meola.
His phrasing and voicings are just perfect, use of his insane technique limited to where it is needed only - unlike the young and terrible Bireli showing off speed and not much more...
@OmriLahavComposer Good god who are you people. "Birelli terrible" get off the critics crutch and go practice - All three of these guys are wonderful in their own way.
@leoosiku You want wonderful, go listen to Russel Malone. You *can* play guitar well without shredding the hell out of the same scales and diminished chord arppegios over and over and over again, and I find it tacky and cheap.
@OmriLahavComposer Malone is a great player as well. Tacky and cheap is a very good definition of being a blog critic. All high level musicians are good whether you like what they are doing at a particular moment out of the thousands and thousands of hours that they have played.
@leoosiku Read back. I *NEVER* said "Bireli Sucks". I merely remarked that in my opinion, his technique-oriented, braggish playing is not where it's at.
On a different note - I have never heard a single thing from Bireli that I enjoyed, and this is coming from a life long jazz and fusion producer.
From what I understand, Bireli is not very fond of DiMeola. An outstanding trio nevertheless. A great concert overall - the video release is very enjoyable. Larry has some very nice moments in the show if not particularly on this tune. It is great to see the Godfather fusion master overseeing this project.
wish al wouldnt have been such a jerk and purposely avoided bireli after their short time playing together, at least bireli and larry played together after this...I dont think Al liked bireli at all...
Ya, sadly. Al was apparently upset that a 20 year old was much better than him. Larry saw it in bireli and immediately left Al's trio. One day Al will grow up and start playing other styles of music...someday I hope. He is still great in my book.
I always wondered, why one of John Petruccis most important influences is Al Di Meola. Now I just need to watch at 4:35 and I understand =). Great video.
Iv heard better versions..... but still i find it hard to complain about any version of "spain", great song, this isnt the best performance but its still great to see such great musician on stage together.
i will add to my comment that the Paco De Lucia/Mclaughlin version of Spain is way better with a better and more precise playing, Paco and John are more proficient technically.
que porqueria tocan al final!! WHAT A CRAP THEY DO AT THE END!!, its horrible.. nothing musical, the only one who i like hes impro is BIRELI, larry corryel sucks, and so Al di
hm, I remember watching the DVD quite some time ago - and if I remember right, the sound was MUCH better. this one here sounds a little emberassing for a 'super guitar trio'. -> so I suggest not judging this vid, better get the DVD.
you really dont appreciate anything do you? i uploaded the mp3 in case of bad quality.due to youtube low standards it has to be coded in shit. i have the dvd .. bah nevermind
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
there is parts that are better and more inspired than the Paco De Lucia/mcLaughlin's version that you can watch (ans listen to) on Youtube, but, overall, i find this performance uneven.
While LC is definitely NOT opne of my favs, props must be given for trying to play "Spain" on a twelve-string. Overall, this is NOT a very good showing for any of these folks.
agreed. I think it's mostly due to the sound, if I remember correctly from watching the DVD it's much better there, great fun. especially Bireli Lagrene (who was a mindblowing discovery for me) can hardly be heard here. overall, to me it just doesn't sound well-blended together. maybe that's because of the stereo (or 5.1) to mono conversion.
and then, yeah, their playing sounds a little un-inspired, workinghorse-alike.
Too bad Bireli's solo got buried in the mix, but Larry's solo was something else. Watch Bireli look eagerly as Larry solos. Actually, these three motherf*ck*rs can discourage pretty much any wannabe.
I love all three of these guys, but I have to admit I dig Larry's solo the most, but the incredible thing is he's doing it on a twelve sting...

Out of these three Mr. B is the only one who can "speak" of the "Black Jazz" ala, Wes or Benson though he is a French. Not to mention he can execute sweeping better than these "old" guys...

@reibian Are you kidding. Larry is an incredible straight ahead player and blues player from the from the very tradition you speak. To help you in your listening check out Larry's cds: Monk trane miles and me, Toko Du, Impressions, power trio live,Inner urge, Major Jazz minor blues,Cedars of Avalon New High. Thats enough to get you up to speed. I hope you are young because you sound it.

@leoosiku I guess I like 300 yen bottle of Sake instead of $60 botttle of Bordeaux. In YouTube video "Autumn Leaves Pt1 - Farlow Abercrombie Carlton Coryell " I like Scofield, Abercrombie, the rest and Carlton on the botttom. You can lead a horse to water, but you know... ;p

get real guys. Bireli's show-off, un-matured playing can never compare with the well rounded, tasteful artistry of master Al Di-meola.
His phrasing and voicings are just perfect, use of his insane technique limited to where it is needed only - unlike the young and terrible Bireli showing off speed and not much more...

@OmriLahavComposer Good god who are you people. "Birelli terrible" get off the critics crutch and go practice - All three of these guys are wonderful in their own way.
leoosiku 1 year ago 2
@leoosiku You want wonderful, go listen to Russel Malone. You *can* play guitar well without shredding the hell out of the same scales and diminished chord arppegios over and over and over again, and I find it tacky and cheap.
OmriLahavComposer 1 year ago
@OmriLahavComposer Malone is a great player as well. Tacky and cheap is a very good definition of being a blog critic. All high level musicians are good whether you like what they are doing at a particular moment out of the thousands and thousands of hours that they have played.

@leoosiku Read back. I *NEVER* said "Bireli Sucks". I merely remarked that in my opinion, his technique-oriented, braggish playing is not where it's at.
On a different note - I have never heard a single thing from Bireli that I enjoyed, and this is coming from a life long jazz and fusion producer.

From what I understand, Bireli is not very fond of DiMeola. An outstanding trio nevertheless. A great concert overall - the video release is very enjoyable. Larry has some very nice moments in the show if not particularly on this tune. It is great to see the Godfather fusion master overseeing this project.

You could definitely tell that Al really didn't. That dick and Coryell was too damn high in the mix you could'nt hear Bireli that well.
Power2theFlyingV 2 years ago
Ya, sadly. Al was apparently upset that a 20 year old was much better than him. Larry saw it in bireli and immediately left Al's trio. One day Al will grow up and start playing other styles of music...someday I hope. He is still great in my book.

i will add to my comment that the Paco De Lucia/Mclaughlin version of Spain is way better with a better and more precise playing, Paco and John are more proficient technically.

While LC is definitely NOT opne of my favs, props must be given for trying to play "Spain" on a twelve-string. Overall, this is NOT a very good showing for any of these folks.
dorian411 3 years ago
@dorian411:
agreed. I think it's mostly due to the sound, if I remember correctly from watching the DVD it's much better there, great fun. especially Bireli Lagrene (who was a mindblowing discovery for me) can hardly be heard here. overall, to me it just doesn't sound well-blended together. maybe that's because of the stereo (or 5.1) to mono conversion.
and then, yeah, their playing sounds a little un-inspired, workinghorse-alike.

Too bad Bireli's solo got buried in the mix, but Larry's solo was something else. Watch Bireli look eagerly as Larry solos. Actually, these three motherf*ck*rs can discourage pretty much any wannabe.
