Okay Guitarists, Prepare To Cry

Justin-Lee Schultz is a 14 year-old prodigy from South Africa, living in the U.S. now.

He is a piano player. Here he is jamming with the incomparable Jesus Molina at the NAMM show when he was 12.

Oh, before we get into the punch line of this post, take a look at Jesus Molina at a previous NAMM show. Yes, this is the same Jesus Molina. His weight loss is one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen. The clip above is 2020. The clip below is 2018.

Well, here’s another revelation that s simply amazing.

Justin-Lee Schultz says he “fools around” on the guitar and is “not a guitarist.”

  1. Obvious immense technical mastery and speed. But, I am not hearing any coherent melody, just fast runs. But then, I never “got” jazz or classical. Maybe my deficiency.

  2. Beautiful! The weight loss (terrific!), the piano and the guitar.

    Did a little singing in my younger days. Can’t read music, but that doesn’t stop me. Never had any training, but have always wished that I could play an instrument. Had a piano class in college. I needed one credit, so it was just a “here’s the keyboard, have at it” class. Fun, but I just memorized the tune I made. Enough to pass the class, at least!

    Thanks, Fur! This was amazing.

  3. What astounds me about the weight loss is where is all the loose, drapey, wrinkly, hanging skin?
    As for jazz, it definitely is an acquired taste. When jazz seems chaotic it still all hangs together nicely. You’d definitely know it if the music didn’t make sense. It would be jarring to the ear.

  4. OpenTheDoor – “…make some sense, musically.” That’s it. Jazz I have always loved; Coltrane’s “Favorite Things”; Les McCann & Eddie Harris, the Swiss Movement album; Mose Allison (too bad he’s a deranged Lib); “Take Five” – Brubeck. Probably much more that has a discernable melody.

    Is this jazz that got on The Silver Dollar Survey; “Midnight in Moscow”; Tijuana Brass; Al, Hirt – “Java”?
