    I had the opportunity to sit in a group lesson with him. I was the only one there with an acoustic guitar so he kept asking me to play chords for demonstrating that notes dont really matter as long as you end up resolving. He would ask me to turn my back an play the worst chord I could think of and no matter what he resolved the chord.
    He said: "Look man, back in the day, we didn't have mixolydian flat5 melodic minor scales, we had 12 notes and the blues, and some chords to play over."
    Genius.

    These old guitarists who become virtuosos on their own without the assistance of the worlds sum of guitar knowledge on the internet at their fingertips, no pun intended, are truly impressive.

    This is the first I'm seeing of Joe Pass's playing - I'm very much a metal/shred luddite. Truly jawdropping! Those transitions between runs and so many chords were performed with a fluidity and cleanliness that's just out of this world. Beautiful to behold. Thanks for the transcription, Levi!
    P.S, Guitarsoles is sorely missed!

    I still use his method books for constant refreshment and redirection, his transcriptions by Roland Leone and Alan de Mause et al are great sources of ideas.
    Whilst he would teach the CAGED position he was never limited to it. He knew his Drop-2 and Drop-3 voicings and much besides, often playing rootless voicings as part of his excellent voice leading.
    His functional harmony never needed to be modally conscious because he always knew what degree to start on for a particular harmonic context (G harmonic minor from the 5th for what we call Phrygian Dominant over D7, #5/b5 for example). His approach is better understood from the altered scale perspective - knowing parent keys and what tones differ in an altered or extended voicing compared to major, minor, dominant, augmented and diminished structures.
    His ear was obviously an amazing asset.
    He just flows and will forever be remembered as a master of his craft.

    Went to see George Shearing at the Blue Note many years ago with my parents (who were friendly with him and his wife). It turned out Joe Pass was opening. Needless to say it was a great evening.

    Totally agree, most under appreciated guitarist ever... pure genius him Wes Montegomery and Ted Greene and many many more the list of greats people just don't know is a crime and pretty much endless! And I mean loads of people know Django and George Benson, and they are sublime but some guys are forgotten... i mentioned Chet Atkins to a metal-head ... he said who? I said burn your gear! Great analysis... thanks!

    I was a fan of Kessel, Martino, Benson and Grant Green in the 60s and 70s. In the mid-70s I gravitated to fusion and,, Holdsworth's singular uniqueness became my grail. Thus, I never listened to Pass until the late 90s. Of course, once I deeply listened to Joe I was completely floored - stunned as it were. After finally listening to Joe I realized he every part of his album's title, "Virtuoso!" Thank you, Lord, for all the great guitarists I had the good fortune to hear in my lifetime.

    hey, man, as a fellow pianote user who's also into jazz, what courses would you recommend there? I'm a but lost by the amount of options/paths to take.
    and to answer the question, I don't know if he's the best (Yamandu costa comes to mind), but Joe is by far the one I listen to the most!
