I studied under a former student of Vince Bredice named Jorge Garcia in South Florida in the early 90s. Jorge was the finest guitar player I had ever encountered. We studied several Joe Diorios’ solos. I didn’t get them that much at the time but having come back to serious playing many years later, I started incorporating some of the Diorio licks in my soloing tool box. Very innovative and unique sounds. Those practice sessions were a real workout but so many of the phrases are indelible in my memory.

I think Joe played very light and at the same time used all the techniques which we are still learning today, like sweep picking, hybrid picking, pick slanting and left hand roll overs.

Thanks for this John. So much packed into this little concise video. Very inspiring. The reference to the saxophone is revealing...

I first heard Joe in 1976 when I bought an LP by Ira Sullivan. Joe was criminally underrated musician with a unique harmonic take on the guitar. His solo guitar work is inventive but accessible. A musician who influenced many through his recordings and especially his work at GIT. If you want get your fingers on some of Joe's solo output you can check out Francois LeDuc's transcription KZbin channel.

Ira was my mentor as a young musician here in Miami. Learned a ton from him and his son, Brev 🤘

❤ Pappa Joe was a guiding light...

🙌🙌

Joe was one of a kind. "Move on Over " a Sonny Stitt album was my favorite.

[@JamesSeaberry]

Great lesson, but I thought his guitar was an L4?

[@ChaseMaddox]

Thanks for watching! I don’t know which guitar he used 👍

[@kenster3554]

Like most guitarists, Joe played several guitars. He indeed played an L4CES, but it’s clearly an ES175 in the video clip. The neck pickup butts right up against the end of the fingerboard on an L4, whereby there is around an inch or so between the neck pickup and the fingerboard on a 175.

[@JamesSeaberry]

@@kenster3554 Thank you.

[@jazzstorie]

Joe played an L-4CES for a while (the thumbnail has that picture) however he actually played his 1968 ES-175 for most of his career, including the years I studied with him

[@JamesSeaberry]

@@jazzstorie Thank you!
