Here’s Pat Martino’s “Symmetrical Parental Forms”. - There are two chords that are easy to form on the guitar because of their symmetrical structure (on just this instrument in standard tuning): the 3-note Augmented triad, and the 4-note Diminished 7th chord. - If you lower any one of the notes in any Augmented triad, you’ll get a Major triad, and if instead you raise any one of those notes then you’ll get a Minor triad (the relative minor!). So that one Augmented triad yields 6 other chords. - If you lower any one of the notes in any Diminished 7th chord then you’ll get a Dominant 7th chord; if instead you raise any one of those notes then you’ll get a Half-Diminished 7th chord (Minor 7b5). (Those 2 chords will be the V7 and vii-Half-Diminished from the same key.) So that one Diminished 7th chord yields 8 other chords. That’s Pat’s “Symmetrical Parental Forms” in a nutshell. - May Pat rest in peace.
Pat was a genius and a philosopher, and totally incomprehensible as a teacher. But as a musician, he spoke from his heart right to the heart of the listener. ❤❤❤

This was my first ever guitar video. Ever since, Pat has been my favourite jazz guitarist. A true master and legend. RIP Mr Martino.
Pat is up there with the cream of the crop greatest guitatist in the world. He was my personal favorite jazz guiatist.👍

Mr. Pat Martino -- one and only

Agreed. His use of the English language was always extremely odd... His playing was sublime.
This man is total on his playing and performance and his knowledge of the instruments amd techniques are a exceptional gifs to humanity
No doubt.
And his jpgs. Lol! Kidding aside, he is an unparalleled master.
RIP. Genius

Like a jazz dalek, pat martino exterminates the fretboard!
Camera men failed us 😢 focus on the fingers and frets not random body parts

1. total mofo on the guitar and can explain what he's doing so just about anyone can understand it. 2. Snappy dresser. Sweater is badass.
He was great but gets very one dimensional sounding. Too many constant 8th notes.
Yngwie of jazz
That's John McLaughlin to me.
