@@steveb9325 He's just very under-stated. It's the way he was as a man. These days, teaching vid's are full of "Wassup, guys. Wham. Bam" etc, etc and we become de-sensitised to someone who is simply speaking to us as he would a student he was teaching in the same room. I like it. A welcome change from being hit over the head.
@@kriztiannuevita1 Joe was not very friendly with his own mind. To become one of the world's best guitarist is sometimes a lonely road. You know, practicing alone for days, months,..
I used to help him out at his house in Van Nuys around 1971 for guitar lessons. Bothered him for years at Dante's on Monday guitar nites and he finally gave in and invited me over. He was like a god to me and I only knew him personally for two years, but will never forget him, I was just 19.
@@VancoldGH read the Book effortless mastery and maybe you’ll understand what he means by that. seems to me he means play what comes naturally- if its hard go practice it more.
@@Digitalpapii i did understand what he was implying i was making a jokingly observation. It comes down to what is hard btw. For some people particing shapes for 6 hours to play insane stuff isn't hard. For some it is. For some it is hard to improvise for some it isn't, just thought the quote by itself is kinda lazy if taken out of context ;)
"Ahh... hello, fellow guitarists,..." what a wonderful spirit emanates from just the way he puts himself level with you right off the bat. We're all guitar players here :)
@vladavasiljev Nice player with great technique and great right hand but it's a stretch to say he has the "best right hand ever"... Joe is not playing with any distortion or effect to make the guitar more "legato" like. Classical players (and I am not one) I believe have the best developed right hand techniques.
the golden yrs of GIT before becoming Music Institute or MI ,,, some real legends cruising the halls back then ,, loved the old campus ,, but history repeating its self my son just graduated from the bass department about two yrs ago
Joe Pass says “I don’t bother with theory, it confuses me” also “I don’t know why you count 1234” I play using bar shapes for most everything I play, not funny fancy chords. ILove It!! One of the best Jazz guitarist ever.....love it
And yet JP knew his theory inside out. You don't become a great jazz player like JP without tremendous knowledge of theory and a whole lotta technique.
Joe says that, but If you every tried to play a transcription of one of his pieces there are lots of fancy chords, just not the sort that require 5 fret stretches. Joe had full mastery of all basic jazz chords the b5's and the b9's and the 13ths. Don't think your going to play like joe with a couple of bar chords.
10 years later I'm still coming back to this. Learning with Joe is always fun. Trust me there is a lifetime's worth of material in this video then you have his other tapes. Solo Jazz guitar as Jazz lines is hard to find a good audio quality version.
This video was on youtube about 10 years ago and was then taken down. What a master, and in a practical sense, not just thinking what HE can play in isolation, but how to support the band he's playing with.
Saw an advertising page, in black and white, of Hot Licks series with a bunch of my guitar heroes in a1992 GW with Angus Young on the cover. The first title that focus my atention was "The Blues Side of jazz" Joe Pass. Didn`t know who he is. In 2005, a friend of mine brought from Usa, at that time in dvd, Paul Gilbert, Albert lee and Brian Setzer of Hot Licks, and in that moment, in a flash, remember about of that video in the magazine. i asked him if he had seen that video that had me intrigued for years and he told me: "Joe pass? i never heard you talking about Joe Pass!!". For that reason he didn`t consider it. Now, Tuesday 7, January 2021, at 03: 05 am, finally, i`ve been able to watch, 28 years later, more than an instructional video, a testimony, a legacy, made by a TRUE GUITAR GENIUS. Thank you so much, Mr. "Younguitarplayer". Greetings from Argentina.
Arlen, you are a legend. I spent most of my teens watching hot licks videos. Masters of the Telecaster was my favourite and I stole loads of your licks and still play some of them today.
Love Joe. I had this on vhs and the jazz one. After a few years I didn’t have a vhs player so a few years later I gave all my vhs tapes to a guitar repair man. Another favorite was Jacos video tape. BIg mistake!!!!! I wish I had all of them back. Anyway great video. When I had the tapes I listened to it probably 40 times.
What a gem! Thanks for posting. There are few guitarists that could sit and play solo for two hours and keep people captivated. He could even do that improv
There is a wealth of information in every word in this video. This guy has played with every jazz legend there is and here he gives us a lesson in jazz blues but also so many other insights into how to perform live. He is speaking from years of gigging and every bit of information he gives us here contains so much practical knowledge.
When I first heard a Joe Pass solo album as a teenager. I kept asking: why isn't the bass player getting any credit, who is playing bass? I just couldn't get my head around what Joe had going on simultaneously. That was 50 years ago, and he has been my idol till this day. While I've come a long way and studied with some greats, he is the gold standard. Mind you, no one played like that before him, he figured it all out. Whatever tiny tidbits you can get - grab ... it will provide a foundation for more. Hal Leonard has a few books with complete tab that I highly recommend. Thanks for posting this!
Nice one. Indeed, his combination of just fantastic bass tunes with the beatiful cords and melody, and everything fits so perfectly. Well, this is Joe Pass heritage. :-)
I remember saving up to buy a joe pass instructional video decades ago when I was a kid, naively expecting some tab. Imagine my disappointment when he started talking about flat dominant turnaround 572's etc. Now I'm starting to learn all over again, and we're back with Joe! Thank god for the internet.
As a confirmed Metaller in the mid 90s, I was introduced to Joe's playing by my guitar teacher and it absolutely revolutionised my view of chords. Thanks Joe. Bless you. :)
I met Joe a couple of times and he was just the nicest man. I gave up playing 50 years ago but I never quite realised just why Joe sounded so wonderful, now I know what he was doing and what gave him that amazing way of playing. Fascinating just watching him doing those changes. Its hard watching his left hand and trying to work out what I'm listening to as you never properly see how he is picking with his right hand. Its just the most incredible and enjoyable things I've seen and heard. There's a 'burning bush' around somewhere because G-d is speaking from it.
All right, I didn't have any idea this exists! Arguably the greatest jazz guitar player is showing its staff, from the basics to advanced. They are saying - "learn from the best". Here he is.
There is enough in here to keep me learning for the next ten years. Thank you for sharing! Favourite quote 33:08 “I don’t bother with theory because it confuses me”.
Thank you for sharing this masterclass of an absolute cool and humble jazz genius . There is so much material in this video to improve blues playing and learn chords , scales , patterns etc...although it would take a lot of time to get to this level . Watching and listening to Joe Pass is a great pleasure on its own.
I think Joe Pass finally made me click on jazz comping... He's a phenomenal musician and a real inspiration to play jazz. I hope I will get back to this lesson in years and realise what this lesson gave me and how far I've went with this
He spent so much time stressing the really important stuff, so thankful he went into different topics and showed how he thinks , what a great teacher. Thank you lord for Joe Pass !!!
@@ldhorricks what are you insinuating? It's shocking to me that Joe Pass said in this video that theory is confusing to him. To play simply. He is a brilliant guitar player, probably one of the best to ever live. I just thought he knew more technical terms and stuff regarding music theory and how he plays and improvises. I can't explain that more simply.
One of the all time greats !!! Saw him once in Fort Lauderdale !!! Him and Toots Thielman together !!! They joked around with each other !!! I remember Joe saying to Toots, " When I look at your face, I just have to laugh !!! " Hahaha !!! Both were so talented !!! And obviously enjoyed each other !!! Toots and Joe played on the live album Oscar Peterson big 6 !!! They all blew me away !!! Joe is a hell of a teacher !!! He gets right to the point and breaks it down to the basics !!! RIP Joe !!! You left a treasure of extraordinary work !!! 😎
I bought this and I think two more Arlen Roth videos of Joe Pass of of EBay back in the late 90’s… they were too advanced for me at the time but so thankful they’re on RUclips!
i bought this as a cassette video in the early 1990s and was disappointed with it. but joe pass is a fantastic solo guitar player. and now, watching the video, it is pretty informative. maybe i had to musically grow into it.
Playin the changes ....Thank you so much for the great wisdom shown here....this is greatly helpfull.! When the student needs a teacher ......the teacher appears.....Thanks again.....Up here in Canada eh! Peace on Earth :)

Laurie Harper To which I would add: just because he’s a performer doesn’t mean he’s necessarily comfortable or natural in front of a camera.

Imagine if Bob Ross was there painting at the same time. Best 70's party ever!
I used to help him out at his house in Van Nuys around 1971 for guitar lessons. Bothered him for years at Dante's on Monday guitar nites and he finally gave in and invited me over. He was like a god to me and I only knew him personally for two years, but will never forget him, I was just 19.
Very cool
Wow!!
👍lucky you, he was the greatest.
Lessons from JOE PASS, wow!!!
You are a very lucky man!
34:12 "Never play anything that's hard. If it's hard don't play it!" I think I'll take this nugget of wisdom as today's lesson.
Luckly for us eddy didn't take that advice and revolutionized rock music :P Sounds kinda lazy tbh
@@VancoldGH read the Book effortless mastery and maybe you’ll understand what he means by that. seems to me he means play what comes naturally- if its hard go practice it more.

That struck me also, very down to earth humble guy and of course a guitar GIANT
I think it's the drugs.
@@michaelfinnegan3805 He was long-clean by this time.
I love: "If you check in a music theory book, you'll see it's all correct." HA! What a Master of the Understatement.
He did a small session at Berklee back in the 90s and I got to talk to him and he signed my guitar. What an amazing man. ❤. RIP
I want that guitar 😭
This is why RUclips is awesome! Aaaaah, to learn at the feet of a MASTER!
This is a Masterclass in how to both be a “back up” player and soloist in a jazz ensemble. Incredible.
His right hand technique is unreal...completely relaxed & effortless. The touch so connected and dynamic. In a class by himself, total legend.
check out Igor Paspalj right hand...the best ever.
@vladavasiljev Nice player with great technique and great right hand but it's a stretch to say he has the "best right hand ever"... Joe is not playing with any distortion or effect to make the guitar more "legato" like. Classical players (and I am not one) I believe have the best developed right hand techniques.
Played with Joe at GIT 84 one on one in a room when he was there doing a seminar,
gave me chills when he looked up at at me and gave a Big Smile:)
the golden yrs of GIT before becoming Music Institute or MI ,,, some real legends cruising the halls back then ,, loved the old campus ,, but history repeating its self my son just graduated from the bass department about two yrs ago
I attended the Summer Session 86 in the old school and then attended M.I. G.I.T. 89/90 at the new location....Great Times !!
I was there too! 9/84 - 9/85 and Joe was there alot: it was full of some great stuff/great year!!!
This guy was nothing short of being a jazz guitar genius.
Uncle Joe will always be the best guitar teacher in all the multiverses 🥰🎸🎸🎶
Those 82 thumbs down must be very good guitarists that nobody has ever heard playing. Thankyou for the music Mr Passalaqua. May you rest in peace.
82 geniuses?😅😅😅😅
He is def on my Mount Rushmore of (jazz) guitar players. 🥇🏆🎸
God bless Joe Pass, he taught so us much. I had the honor of seeing him twice. A real genius.
Joe's off hand style is refreshing compared to the current "you tuber lessons"
Straight to the point from one of the greats.
Just gave me some stuff to work on for the next decade, Thanks Joe!!!
How can you not like this man?
He was very economical with his strumming hand, from the looks of it. Total respect for the man.
He explained complex music theory, not easily put into words. Best teacher I've seen
Joe Pass says “I don’t bother with theory, it confuses me” also “I don’t know why you count 1234” I play using bar shapes for most everything I play, not funny fancy chords. ILove It!! One of the best Jazz guitarist ever.....love it
That's amazing because one of the things that make him great is his incredible time.
but in this lesson, he played mostly movable non barred chords and fancy chords
And yet JP knew his theory inside out. You don't become a great jazz player like JP without tremendous knowledge of theory and a whole lotta technique.
Joe says that, but If you every tried to play a transcription of one of his pieces there are lots of fancy chords, just not the sort that require 5 fret stretches. Joe had full mastery of all basic jazz chords the b5's and the b9's and the 13ths. Don't think your going to play like joe with a couple of bar chords.
And while Joe was playing he did know the chord and he had dozens of wonderful ways to play against that chord, that his fingers knew how to do.
10 years later I'm still coming back to this. Learning with Joe is always fun. Trust me there is a lifetime's worth of material in this video then you have his other tapes. Solo Jazz guitar as Jazz lines is hard to find a good audio quality version.
Its here on this post or not I guess its only fifteen minutes

Dood thx! This vid is so good
I met Joe along with Ray Brown at a Polytone amp seminar.
They were both extremely nice.
Ray unbelievably, allowed me to play his bass...
Joe Pass is an absolute Legend
There's so much here ... what a wonderful player, and such a nice guy. RIP Joe.
This man is a magician
This guy grunts and I learn a whole new way to see the fret board
Love Joe. I had this on vhs and the jazz one.
After a few years I didn’t have a vhs player so a few years later I gave all my vhs tapes to a guitar repair man. Another favorite was Jacos video tape.
BIg mistake!!!!! I wish I had all of them back.
Anyway great video. When I had the tapes I listened to it probably 40 times.
I'm thinking this guy's musical mind works on a different level than most who will ever pick up an instrument.
What a remarkable guitarist and human being. Hail Joe!
Joe attained major league bad-ass status without question.. a wealth of awesomeness indeed...
Best advice I've heard in years. Some basic rules of the road still make the most sense. God Bless Joe Pass a rare gift to guitar music.
What a gem! Thanks for posting. There are few guitarists that could sit and play solo for two hours and keep people captivated. He could even do that improv
His work with Ella is unsurpassed
Woow so cool and helpful!!! Lov this still... Great Master!!! 🎶🍀🎸
What a Man !!!!!! On a higher plateau .
Joe pass " If the line and melodies don't come from your head then you are playing patterns". I quote his statement. Genius cat!
I love mastery, I love seeing it everywhere. It makes the world a better place!!
Love Joe Pass...one of the greats❤

I could even enjoy a glass of water with Joe ; the conversation would be so stimulating & inspired ,, he is a treasure like water.
Discovered him about six months ago, I just fell in love! What a master!
He was the real Charlie parker of Jazz guitar hence he also recorded a full album "I remember Charlie Parker". Thanks for sharing this masterclass.

Boy, do I miss Joe. One of the main reasons i play guitar.
As a guitar player my self. l in joyed this .JOE PASS IS THE BEST

If you like Joe Pass. You should listen to Pat Martino.
This is awesome teaching
Actually learned a lot from his video in high school, still my only guitar lesson i took ever

These long video formats of legendary guitarists are my favorite! So much to learn, and so cozy vibe love it..
amazing how he breaks it down
and took the time to share a small part of his knowledge with us
a true master and a great man for sharing
1:21 Joe just called me a fellow guitarist. I can die now.
19:45 to 21:00 that is a lot of the essence of jazz, interacting with the other band members
9:15 "Now this F#7... is... F#7...". It cracks me up everytime because I know he doesn't consciously think about the extension details at this point
yeah, it doesn't F#7 at all
If you're still thinking about extension details, you got a looooong way to go.
@@musical_lolu4811 I am not. I'm only highlighting how funny that part was to me. Way to go to encourage people.
@@musical_lolu4811 Oh come on, not all of us have been playing for long enough to hear the 13th in a voicing.
This is an essential watch for any student of the blues
Whoa! Thanks for the gifts! Now I just gotta carve out the time to practice.
Papa Joe I love this down o earth humble genius and Master of Jazz guitar
I can't believe how good this guy is just think about what is happening fills so much space for 1 human incredible!
Saw Joe play live at the Office in Staten Island Ny. Many years ago. He was amazing. Personal. And just an incredible person.
"If it's hard, don't play it". ...Thanks Joe. Your "hard" is at another level from mine. 😄
Brilliant! Thanks Joe. RIP 🙏🏻
i bought this as a cassette video in the early 1990s and was disappointed with it. but joe pass is a fantastic solo guitar player. and now, watching the video, it is pretty informative. maybe i had to musically grow into it.
one of the great masters of the instrument.. so effortless, thank you Joe!
Playin the changes ....Thank you so much for the great wisdom shown here....this is greatly helpfull.! When the student needs a teacher ......the teacher appears.....Thanks again.....Up here in Canada eh! Peace on Earth :)
