Hey Guys! Hope you enjoy! Tab: www.patreon.com/posts/take-five-solo-97646229?Link&

Dude is from an other world. He improvised while playing the bass line which is in 5/4 time signature without any mistakes. And then he played the drum solo 'on the guitar' while still playing the bass line!

thank you. I’m sitting here in a giant hospital in JAPAN, 69 years old, recovering from triple bypass open-heart surgery and thinking about how I would really like to get home and get back to practicing again after seeing this. I’ll dedicate a video of me playing Albeniz to you, Lucas. Thanks for all of the inspiration over the years. UPDATE: thank you so much to everyone who wrote such encouraging comments. This week I got back to work on my recording projects after I discovered the Zoom R4 digital recorder/interface. I will be launching my new KZfaq channel in the coming weeks.

Lucas is the only guitarist I’ve ever seen who can play Take Five on guitar whilst faithfully retaining the rhythmic, harmonic and melodic flow of the wonderful Dave Brubeck Quartet recording. And I’ve seen ‘em all! Sheer brilliance.

good heavens - you transcribed piano, sax, and drum solos - and then simultaneously played on guitar! praise.

As a guitarist myself, this performance tied my brain in knots! Incredible arrangement AND performance! Thank you!

When technique and musicality do not come at the expense of soul. This is the most beautiful performance I have heard of this piece.

fuuucking hell Lucas, that's one of the hardest things you've uploaded. respect for arranging this mess and then playing it perfectly.

Insane level of articulation, clarity of all voices, musicality. Hats off!

Lucas, I'm so happy to be seeing videos from you again. Your arrangements are always shockingly brilliant. Thank you for sharing your talent and hard work. 🙂

The Desmond solo, and then the Morello solo!? Such a fun listen. Thanks, Lucas!

Harmony ✔️ Melody ✔️ Bass ✔️ Joe Morello drums solo at guitar ✔️ 👀 Thanks for this great piece!

What a wonderful way to start my day. Coffee, Jackie the cat on my lap and a fantastic rendition of Take Five.

D-Day is here, he posted 2 videos...

This is so smooth. Finally someone did this classic justice.

My favourite jazz standard of all time, played to perfection? Yes please. I'm in awe.

This is another level of genius. I can't imagine the tons of work and talent needed to achieve this masterpiece so easily, huge thanks !

This is INSANE, the original solo almost note for note AND the drum solo. FANTASTIC playing.

Damn. The percussion! I'm in awe!

This is when you really love a musical piece! I can tell right away .

The Gene Wright bass underneath, Brubeck accompaniment, Desmond solo (and articulation, wow) and keeping it going with the Morello drum solo nod in the middle. Clever, creative, well done.

Brilliantly arranged and played! I love Brubeck's 5/4 Take Five.

I think you have jumped up and reached another level. Good to see that excellent players do keep progressing

From Brubeck to Metallica, your playing is absolutely mesmerizing. Thank you for posting.

Dude. That was out of this world... I couldn't imagine this being played with only 1 guitar but you did it

I'm impressed by your playing style more than by anyone else. Much love from Kyiv.

Your talent combined with the dedication and discipline to your art is undeniable. It's an absolute joy and pleasure to watch your hard work on display.

That's overwhelming! Sounds like whole Brubeck's quartet playing right in front of you. Great!

Literally the first jazz track I ever really listened to. God I love it

The record that introduced me to Jazz and changed my life. Excellent arrangement Thanks. i could listen to you all night .

What a versatile player, your version is so rich in variety!

This is one of the most amazing things i've ever seen and heard

Way beyond awesome. I can't even play the basic melody over a loop - just unable to grasp the timing. Fantastic, thx.

What a fantastic arrangeent! Beautifully played too. Thanks Lucas

Masterful arrangement and performance, bravo!!!

Great job on one of my favorite instrumental pieces. You made it swing and kept in the groove with your improvs.

Dude, when are you going on tour? You have so much material and a solid fan base. Time to make it happen!

NO WAY!!! I’ve been working on a version of this for a couple of weeks now! This was fantastic, nice job!

Brilliant. Love the Tommy Emmanuel style percussion.

Simply amazing! Please, more of this Lucas.

You post it, I like it, that simple! Amazing as always! Greetings from Brazil.

Of the guit players I have heard, Dude, you are easily one of my all-time favs. Just Wow!

That is the most amazing thing I've seen and heard in years. Thank you for sharing.

I stood in awe, with my mouth open for 3 minutes. Amazing work! Out of this world

This boggles the mind. Good grief, the skills and feels.

Man you are CRAZY good at this. You rly have a shot at the GOAT discussion.

KZfaq have been presenting me with several solo versions of this tune lately, I like it, so I listen. This is by far the best, as I pretty much knew it would be before it even started. Another great one Lucas. Thanks.

That was amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

One of my favourite jazz pieces, and very well executed. Good job Lucas.

Amazing arrangement! Great work sir ❤

Gave me the big band feel from a soloist! Bravo!

Elegant and thrilling arrangement. Bravo!

Amazing arrangement Lucas! Love the percussives and intricate melodic harmonisations.One of the best tunes ever, of any genre.

That's what I'm talking about, high precision, crisp sound, incredible technicality, smooth transitions, dynamics, phrasing, EVERYTHING IS JUST PERFECT! Another Prodigious arrangement of yours my friend. Great work and huge respect 👏 Greetings from Georgia🇬🇪

Continuously humbled by your playing, Lucas.

Nice… that tune never gets old, and it’s always refreshing to hear a well-played cover…

Fantastic. So smooth. It sounds really like two guitarists and percusions playing... Congrats.

Stunning rendition of a classic song.

Love your arrangement and performance. Congratulations!

What a performance... Thx for all those great moments...

You are one of the best KZfaqr musicians out there, man. Love your videos. Always keep them coming! I’d love to hear an album from you someday. Your playing and arrangements are top notch.

Holy crap I love this. So glad you're back, brother.

I wouldn't believe this was possible if I didn't see it with my own eyes. UNREAL.

This was the first song I learned that was not in 4/4 on the sax. An absolutely magnificent rendition.

Always wonderful sir, thank you.

The shock and awe I experienced prevents me from finding better words to describe what I've just had the pleasure to witness. Magnificent Lucas, and *Legendary* .

In a world of vain show and extravagant waste, what a rare thrill to listen to such a master player dedicated to excellence with an exquisite sense of humor and simplicity: just a few strings, an iconic jazz track and a hat! Thank you for offering us all that island of taste and pure music!

Fuck me! What an incredible performance Lucas! It's always a joy watching and listening to you play, but this one just floored me with sheer beauty and rhythm

This is superhuman level great stuff. Bravo Lucas!

I absolutely love this.

Sheer bliss. Thank you for bringing grace and elegance into the world!

Always wanted to see somebody do take five on acoustic guitar. Your the man!

you transcribed his whole solo into a guitar arrangement pretty sick

So cool! So accurate!

I have no words to praise what I just watched - just WOW. I love Take Five and this was absolutely beautiful, Lucas. Thank you very much and cheers from Brazil.

You sure this is just one guy and one guitar? Damn. So, full. ❤

Sooooooo GOOD manI especially liked the drumming part awesome gave me a smile ear to ear brother thanks !!!

Bravo! Now I am complete. Awesome job and thanks.

Wow! Great arrangement and execution! Also, I love seeing the top worn down where you can see the double top!

Amazing! One of the best arrangements I've ever heard for any instrument!

Love this song. Thank you for this !

Lucas, your arranjements are so dope... you are brilliant!

That was awesome, one of my favourite songs given an exceptional interpretation on the guitar... glad to see you back

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. How is that humanly possible? Thanks for sharing this with the world.

Great as always, and TIL Desmond has sole writing credit for this. I had always assumed it was written as a group.

I am so glad you're back! Another fantastic performance!

This is now officialy my favourite Take 5 arrangement. Fine job and please keep making us able to hear wonderful pieces like that

Thank you Lucas. God bless you.

AMAZING! You perfectly translated Paul Desmond's sax to guitar...AND Joe Morello's drums. HOLY CRAP!

I’m blown away by that diminuendo in the accompaniment at the end of the “percussion” solo, from 2:12 to 2:20… it felt like there were 2 players, it gave me goosebumps 😃 Just grateful to be alive to experience moments like this.

You’re in another world beyond normal talent. I cannot imagine the time, work and dedication that it has taken to have skill like this. Bravo

outstanding solo arrangement and performance, different level stuff, bravo

This is one of my most replayed tracks in Spotify and I'm just in awe when I saw you played it in strings! ANG GALING MO!

Thrilling. Brilliant. Soaring. Badass. Bravo.

Lucas, perfect! Nothing more to add!!

This is the best presentation with a guitar that I've ever seen!

i just want to say, you are one my favorite artists, Lucas! I wish you happiness and good health!

This was amazing. I am totally speechless. I didn't blink for its entirety. So captivating and subtle. You, sir, are a hard working genius!

That’s one of my most favourite tunes. Thank you so much for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciate all your work. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!!

Next level. Amazing. Beautiful performance.
