GIT 88-89. Joe was the nicest human! One little short episode of friendliness made a huge impact on me life. He Picked me up when i was in musical despair one day at MI. He also helped opening my eyes to spiritual matters - I know "understand" what he meant and did when closing his eyes: that someone/something was playing through him. Being an open intuitive channel for divine creative inspiration (see Martinus Cosmology) That´s what it takes to be a true genius. When you have tasted this there is not many incarnations left for universal/loving genius mastery. this is just my perspective on why he was so creative and kindhearted. Thanks for everything Joe. With Love
Just found this video. I was at GIT in '90-'91. Joe's open counseling classes were amazing! Once he persuaded me to play Bela Bartok. That helped me to open my ears. I know I'll need eternity to understand all of his lessons, and still will need more time.. Thank you Beth for posting! It's great to see all teachers from that time again!
A message on behalf of Tina Diorio, Joe's wife.
She would like to give her heartfelt and sincerest thanks to everyone who contributed and spoke in this beautiful memorial. She is overwhelmed by the amount of love for Joe, the memories of him, and all of the people who were touched by him throughout their life. There will never be another Joe Diorio and we will forever miss him and never forget him. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much, Cristina. On behalf of everyone involved in this tribute, and those who loved Joe from all over the world; please accept our deepest condolences and send our love to Tina.
@@bethmarlis I will surely let her know ❤
Thank you so much Beth 🙏❤️ We gonna miss JOE so much 🥲 It was great to see again some of my friends and teachers at my GIT time ❤️🎸
Thank you so much for this incredible, touching tribute to, well…not just a guitar genius 🎸 or jazz master but an extraordinary musician and human being. I didn’t find out about Joe’s passing until yesterday. I didn’t see that clip 🎥 from that Wes Montgomery interview until last month. I guess I’m late to the party on a number of fronts. Today would have been Joe’s 86th birthday. To anyone reading this post, please accept my heartfelt condolences 🙏🏻
I believe that everyone who studied with Joe will forever carry a piece of Joe's spirit in our soul, in our music for at least the next 10 lifetimes.
kakav Maestro na gitari, kakav ton ,tehnika ,nisam znao da nas je napustio.Laka mu zemlja tom virtuozu poz iz R Srpske za našega Joa.
Beautifully done Beth...Thank you
thanks Beth! .. i watched the whole video and i even cried a little! .. i was a git student in 87/88 and i spent a lot of time with joe in his room and we often went to eat together! .. I spent the best years of my life in the room with Joe !! .. happy to have him in my heart! ..🙏🙏🙏Grazie❣️
I went to GIT back in the day. Joe was my favorite teacher and the biggest influence on my playing over the years. He used to hand out a reading list of books that had NOTHING to do with guitar and say "read these, they will help your guitar playing."
He also told me he would dream of a chord, then wake up and try to play it. He did nothing but encourage me. Great guy.
Hi Mom, this is a 3 hour video about Joe, his music, his life, the monstrous human being he was and the impact he had. Still in the process of watching, overwhelmed with emotion; tears, smiles and laughter . The realization that he arguably, may have been the most gifted, innovative, modern guitarist ever. He came from the tradition but was original, modern and ever evolving unlike anybody I have ever heard even till today. His life philosophy mimics everything I have learned in recovery, (he already understood the key to life) and his artwork, like his music, spanned from traditional to abstract. Wow he was really something special. I am blown away, and sincerely wish I spent more time with him while he was here.
Nice to see a tribute to Joe. Whether with a guitar or pen in hand it cannot be underestimated the amount of great music and knowledge he gave to the world. Big thanks to Joe ! Gone from this world but never forgotten those of us touched by his greatness.
I went to GIT, I sat with Joe most of the time. Seeing this that you have put together is simply amazing to me. Thank you so much!
I miss those time at MI. Diorio, Wyble, Greene they are still in my heart. It’s heartbreaking to hear that he passed away but we will meet again. We will see again
Blessings, thank you Mr.Diorio 🙏🏼
Great. Thank you. Highly appreciated !
Thank you so much Beth for putting this incredible tribute together. I’m a GIT alum from 93-94, it is so great to see so many of my Teachers here. I remember Joe well, he was like a God to us, I know I, and many other students felt so lucky just to be in the same building as Joe Diorio.
Wonderful tribute to Joe Diorio’s life and his musical contributions. Thanks to you Beth for this.
Thank you all for giving credit to Joe. I met him in Miami at a guitar seminar put on by his teacher Vincent Bredice who I studied with and also miss very much. These two musicians/teachers contributed a vast amount to the Jazz world and guitar. Joe was a cut above and had a tonal sense above most guitarists. We are all gifted to have met, heard or known them.
Thank you so much for this event Beth all around you... I had the good fortune to have Joe as teacher. I also had the pleasure of playing Blues for Bela at my graduation... Peace and love / David
He was SO RICH! Look at all the life he experienced and shared!! love you Joey. xoxoxoox
Joe was a great master and will be missed and remembered.
Thank you for this wonderful appreciation of Joe - I enjoyed every minute of the tributes offered to a truly unique artist and a great humane being. May the fourths be with him 😊
Thank you so much!..love you Joe❣️❣️❣️
Thank you Beth!
A great influence to me in the late 70's. Innovative, creative and bold. Wonderful teacher. Thanks Joe.
💙 Thank you so much. Rest In Peace, Joe Diorio💙
Just finished the amazing tribute you put together for Joe. Great to hear and see everyone again. Joe’s vibe will live on forever.
Thank you, Beth! Joe was an amazing musician and a beautiful human being. I was so blessed to have studied with him.
I remember going to Dantes Jazz Club in L.A. to hear Joe with Ron Eschete. What a fabulous Jazz Guitar Duo !!! Later I got to study with Joe privately and He Really was a Great Teacher,too !!!
Such a warm, thoughtful, loving tribute, Beth. I have watched this three times. I graduated from GIT in 2007 and was fortunate to go to a Joe Diorio clinic/session. I remember him to be witty and profound, and some of his words definitely still resonate with me to this day. I especially love his piece called "Poem."
Thank you !
Thank you so much for putting this together Beth. What a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to Joe. 🙏🏻❤️ Great to hear all the stories and just how much he meant to us and countless others all over the world. His spirit, music and legacy will live on forever. Thank you Joe Diorio and I love you.
Thanks so much for doing this; This is SO AMAZING, so well deserved for Joe Diorio and you know what? I am so inspired, so encouraged, so moved by all the amazing LOVE and RESPECT demonstrated and stated by all the guest and amazing speakers. This alone is a valuable lesson to all of us. This is how it should be, love and respect for each other and it seems that Joe Diorio has encouraged a lot of that here. I know I am personally blessed that Joe Diorio was so kind to me when he sent me several of his books and CD's several years ago ; me being so far away from USA it was GOLD in so many ways to not only receive the said gifts from Joe but I also cherish the friendship we shared, even if it was via his old website and emails. Life changing indeed. Thank you most sincerely Tony Calabro, Australia
Thank you Tony
off topic here...So great to see Bob Magnusson here...Was a sweet man! I was at BIT in 89/90 and this man taught me so much, along with Paul Farnen, Putter Smith and George Lopez ...what a great hang it was to step into Paul's office just to chat whenever I was feeling homesick..great memories some of the best moments in my life. Forever grateful with this school
Thanks for this Beth. I was an MI Alumni from 86-7 and spent most of my tutor time in Joe's or Scott Hendersons offices. Good memories. Should get my axe out and practice more ( as he'd often chide me gently !)
I posted recordings of the trio I did with Joe and Eric Von Essen in the 80's. If anyone is interested message me and I'll send you the link. Thanks Beth for doing this. Joe was a special guy and mentor to all in music and life.
Thank you Beth, I didn’t even know Joe passed away. I bet Jimi will take some lessons with him! May Joe rest in peace.
So wonderful and so important ... with love, respect and appreciation
Hi Beth, I was so touched by this celebration that I dug out an old video of Joe talking to guitar students and posted it. Many topics touched on here are personally addressed by Joe in that video. I'm not going to post those links here, but should be easy enough to find in a search. This is so beautiful! Thank you!
That's great, thanks Nick!
Great to see this. I was lucky enough to be at the 2007 Benefit gig..and to win the Auction for the signed guitar. An amazing evening for an amazing man.
Thank you Beth, this was beautiful

I can remember a day at GIT, and during that day an unforgettable session with Joe (one of many of course).
A group of us -- about five I think - was set for a Round Robin session with Joe leading. It was our first or second session with him I think. What I remember is we were working on the song "Summertime". We were getting started -- all of us, save one, jammed into a small room not much bigger than a closet. I forget the reason why, but Joe had to step out for a couple minutes -- maybe to pick up a sandwich or something. On his way out he set his 175 up against his chair -- strings against the chair as was his habit.
In the mean time each of us was going through our own self rehearsal, and mentally preparing for the unknown interaction with Joe to come.
Now, before Joe got back, our last group member -- late of course -- came storming through the door. The door then nudged Joe's chair enough to send his guitar crashing to the floor with that unmistakable sound that immediately tells what happened.
I'm sure we all thought the same thing in our silence. We looked at each other thinking "Oh Shit!!" The least we could do was reset Joe's guitar back against the chair -- and we did of course. I don't quite recall if we told him his guitar fell over when he got back in; but I don't think we had the heart (or the guts) to do so. In retrospect, I don't think he would have chastised us -- these things happen.
Fortunately our session went on; and I think we all got a lot of lasting advice from it -- I know I did. One thing that has always stuck with me about Joe's advice was to always keep the melody in mind -- and I always strive to follow this guidance -- it helps me immensely to keep my place in a tune, and to improvise with rhythmic and melodic direction.
I'm sure we're all so grateful for having the chance to cross paths with Joe and, hopefully, have some of his style rub off on us.
Joe. Your riffs, licks, and most of all, your style will always be in my head. Peace to you brother!
Thanks for sharing this story, Jim!
😮 wow did Jenifer Batten traveled back in time? She looks like she is 20! For A minute I thought that it was an old interview of her, maybe from the 80’s or 90’s
Hello, Beth, and to anyone who may know more regarding this comment/query. I've heard from a few sources that Joe D had cited Vincent Bredice and his brother Fred Bredice as influences. Fred Bredice, from CT, was my maternal grandfather (and he later taught guitar in CA). Does anyone have insights into Vincent's or Fred's teaching and connections to Joe Diorio?
Both are mentioned in one of Joe's books.
Thanks Michael, - I definitely remember Joe talking about Vincent, but am (sadly) scant on details. Maybe somebody else may have more insight.
@@bethmarlis Thank you, Beth. And I've just learned that Vince Bredice and Fred Bredice (my grandfather) were cousins, not brothers. I appreciate you responding!
@@captlouie Much appreciated. I'll have to try to find that somewhere.

❤💔❤💔❤💔❤💔❤💔❤
I knew Lenny Breau was found dead in a swimming pool but i didn't know he was killed. great video by the way.
What a tragedy that this superlative artist was confined to the classroom and casual awe-inspired conversation between other, more mainstream, greats of the guitar. His catalogue is like underground bootlegged liquor in the 30s, and there is hardly any graphic record of his live performances. He is like a breeze, like a ghost that influenced small groups of fellow humans one-to-one. Bittersweet really.
24:55 What does that have to do with Byrd 🤣😅😆
I didn’t even know he died.
If someone had the talent to transcribe the GIT jam from the two Joe's . That was some really GREAT playing/ music, really swung and so harmonically sophisticated.
If someone could do that would be wonderful and a great homage to both men equally maestro's in their own right.
Thank you!
