Joe Diorio Solo guitar Concepts

Joe Diorio teaches solo guitar

[@MikeL-7]

Possibly the greatest intro to a video in world history

[@seanquinlan6887]

There's some pretty slick production values on display..

[@FenceThis]

Lol

[@tonycalabro5125]

JOE DIORIO, always an inspiration, always mind enhancing, creative to the greatest heights.... for ever grateful to know of this amazing musician / guitarist... THANK YOU, Rest in peace Joe.

[@alixchatelain2913]

Joe’s playing is/was so often anchored on his left-hand’s pinky’s strength and abilities; he was such a phenomenally strong left-hand ‘pinky’ player and, he was so fluent in so many aspects that this characteristic would or could simply pass one by without being noticed. His overall chordal reach and inventiveness, because of his pinky’s strength, was one of his greatest creative strength’s, so I believe. RIP Joe

[@reuvenafriat3455]

Bouche bée devant un tel savoir !le top de ce que peut être un guitariste 🙏

[@salvatorelocatelli3870]

dearest teacher I remember when I shook your hand .. we all miss you very much 😢

[@donnadie8854]

Joe, so glad I knew you in person.

[@user-fo7ze6vh5i]

joe - the best teacher i ever had! missed the chance to say it again....rip

[@megajames3000]

Thank you for uploading these. Watching him play Stella out front is truly a treat.

[@ES175jazz]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@skale1963]

One of my all time favorite guitar players. This is so amazingly simple the way Joe explains it, seems within reach but of course difficult to achieve. Very helpful!

[@SonicArchives]

Thanks Joe, for you books! You were an awesome player and teacher.

[@rjc7289]

Stella By Starlight sure was a workout for the fingers! To remember all those chord changes and runs without the aid of sheet music is no easy feat!

[@lasvegasleblanc]

BRILLIANT! The master at work. He was only of my teachers at GIT in 1981. love about 2nds...

[@visog]

Let's talk about solo guitar today... after a minute of Jeff Berlin noodling on his bass. Never the less, Joe is killing when he get's going...

[@LessStein]

I got to hear Joe at Birdland with Larry Coryell and Jack Wilkins. I caught all 6 sets. Magical.

[@Adeptusmagnus777]

Joe is a humble genius. Thank you Joe

[@Dilla4life]

Wooooo…next level. Technique, feel, ideas, concepts, musicality…sublime Such a nice musical experience that literally unfolds before our eyes and ears Just wow!

[@ES175jazz]

Well said!

[@dkelley9661]

Jeff Berlin killing on that intro just got me going! What an album! Joe was awesome

[@EnricoMarasea]

Joe Dorio Meraviglioso

[@renakmans3521]

A treasure! R.I.P. one of the greats!

[@MrJudo2go]

Love seeing this. The guitar is an appendage to his body. Just a part of his living body. That's a true guitarist.

[@ES175jazz]

THanks!

[@Jamestele1]

One of our great Jazz musicians - Thank you for leaving us this wonderful lesson DVD, or VHS tape most likely

[@bebekguitar2007]

Geniuses are usually not the best teachers, but man are they fun to watch

[@ES175jazz]

great comment!

[@seanquinlan6887]

Gene e i...

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

I was thinking the same. He’s not the best teacher but I did manage to get something from this video.

[@spb7883]

We must’ve watched different videos. He was a phenomenal teacher.

[@tagskinner778]

Guy was totally unique. Love him.

[@DaniloMarrone]

Maestro Joe Diorio sharing stories of Maestro Joe Pass over a cup of Joe is priceless. Although he was inspired by the great Art Tatum, I hear a lot of Jimmy Raney and Jim Hall in his playing. I will definitely just go for it from now on. This is a priceless video from one of the all-time greats! Thanks for sharing.

[@ES175jazz]

Your welcome!

[@gregggaldo9181]

This is how it was at G.I.T. for me...he'd sit in his office and rip up the fretboard....I was always blown away by his mastery....he was such a cool cat...suspender man was my nickname for him....R.I.P. Joe Cool....

[@clanza2024]

Joe D.. and Joe Pass must have been classmates from the same Music School.. which sadly do not exist in these modern times.. These master quitarists only comes along once in once own Lifetime.. we miss them all when they move on to the next place... A BIG THANKS TO ALL OF THE Great Ones.. for whom we all owe a great deal for sharing their passion , for encouraging and showing us mere mortals to follow our own .. GREAT VID & THANKS FOR POSTING WHOM EVER YOU MAY BE..!!👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏✌️✌️✌️

[@ES175jazz]

They didn't go to school together. There was no school to learn jazz back in the day. They worked at G.I.T. as teachers but they would jam and get together.

[@l.harrison9725]

Thx for this candid video. His wit, creativity & ES175 charmed me. Haven’t listened to enough Joe D’O yet⚡️ Loved his post improv landings back into reality of the lesson. Classic & hilarious!

[@janders3205]

Thank you! Was such a great player and person. Underrated, unknown, and under appreciated. Truly one of the greats. So many ideas in his playing of Stella and Autumn Leaves….sounds so fresh and original years later….I’m gonna be busy for a while. Truly inspirational!

[@BuckJoFiden]

I haven’t heard of Joe Diorio for years , didn’t he have a Guitar Player jazz article with lessons ? His Stellar was stellar. I could listen to this all day.

[@ES175jazz]

I'm not sure in Guitar player but hid did teach at G.I.T. (Musicians Institute) for many years.

[@UffeSteenGuitar]

Impressive in every way

[@liriosanz]

impresionate , gran maestro !!! Descansa en Paz

[@irpacynot]

Great channel. Thanks for sharing. I was searching for anything on Vincent Bredice (my old teacher), and this came up. Saw Joe when I was just a kid in Miami, some...I don't know, maybe almost 40 years. 😅

[@mauriciosuarez643]

Great lesson, wisdom and sense of humour, thanks for sharing! Q.E.P.D. Joe 🙌

[@davidsummerville351]

Great teacher, always has been.

[@cezarquerino244]

Muito bom fantástico, se trata de um gênio maravilhoso!!!!👏👏👏👏

[@elgranpianista1]

Muchas gracias.

[@andybaldman]

RIP legend.

[@ttestates1]

Joe is just awesome and the fact that his day job was as the underboss of the Gambino family is cool! Lol

[@hiddenblade999]

Wow!!! this is a better tutorial on the topic then any of Joe Pass's videos -- sorry Joe.

[@pb12661]

this was cutting edge learning back in the day.

[@spb7883]

It still is

[@justanothernguyen2334]

Its still very much is. His sound is ultra modern

[@SIRONEDRAGON]

Super

[@gernblenstein1541]

Amazing...

[@geosantel]

Fantastico querido mago de la guitarra, I wish you can show how to use the pentatonics? on different chords for blues, mainly witch is what I'm trying to bring my life back been disable is very hard, thanks my friend and hope others go your way with that touch of class and knowledge , love you my friend, thanks George

[@bradking1536]

Hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8

[@lucydayLucida]

@geosantel As far as I understand Joe's approach he shied away from the pentatonics and other scales. I'm new to his teachings, so I'm sure I'll be corrected if this isn't right. Track down his book Intervallic Designs for Jazz Guitar. In that he has many pages of scales and arpeggios he has created after abandoning the traditional scales. These have blown my mind. So much melodic and harmonic greatness in them. It's very clear to me, as I've read from others years more advanced than I am, that this is the way to go and rigid adherence to pentatonics etc will hold you back as jazz player. You can find the book online easily and it is a treasure trove of answers to your question.

[@antoniozappimbulso]

yeah man !

[@walterlires1349]

SENSACIONAL!!

[@shanehen]

A master.

[@thekennycartman9024]

thx for sharing this 🙏

[@elisilva6450]

Show!!!!!

[@jorgeleyton1474]

I see Joe was sweeping before Frank Gamble.... : )

[@jorgeleyton1474]

His notes have a percussive quality like a Fender Rhodes....

[@mishiknezevic5102]

❤

[@Alanoffer]

Cats like joe diorio hear music differently to us mere mortals on the planet

[@-Retired-]

Nice recommendation youtube.

[@ES175jazz]

Glad you think so!

[@gustavoblues]

14:57 - 15:10 = Jazz

[@brucebaldy]

In other words have a relatonship with your guitar and get to know it and feel.it.

[@begoode2385]

I polish my shoes!

[@kirkmargo8356]

You think you could make the intro any longer?

[@lzeppelinrocks]

What song was that?

[@crisnegri73]

✨🎵

[@lzeppelinrocks]

What song was the intro? Is that a Diorio tune?

[@ES175jazz]

Probably just made that track for the video. If you like that song you should check out "Minor Elegance" joe diorio w/ Robbin ford.

[@teacuppermike2568]

ES175jazz is most likely correct that it was a jam Joe made for the video. I’d offer to guess that’s Jeff Berlin on bass, if so.

[@neotrio8795]

Yes it is a real tune, it is on his album 20th century impressions I believe.

[@poisedforduty]

I see he is using a unwound 3rd , what was his string gauge ?

[@ES175jazz]

I emailed him many years ago and he told me he used a custom set. its basically like a set of .009's but he would replace the 1st string with a .011 if I recall correctly

[@poisedforduty]

@@ES175jazz interesting, thanks

[@BradOut-bd5wp]

What effects is he using?

[@ES175jazz]

nothing...maybe some reverb?

[@DavidBarrowIII]

What was the final outro music?

[@lzeppelinrocks]

What was the intro music?

[@travelingman9763]

Is that an L-4?

[@ES175jazz]

Yes Sir!

[@fernandoquintana38]

Mario bross sound...

[@stevenvandemsky7290]

I never understood why a jazz player usually has the most expensive guitar, only to plug it into a shitty transistor amp and to roll the tone knob down? For such a muffled sound you could use any cheap Chinese guitar

[@andybaldman]

It’s how it plays and feels in your hands, not the electronics.

[@wadejones9613]

Shut up and listen to the master !

[@spb7883]

Never understood how a rock player could play an A major chord in open position in one amp with heavy distortion - not like the sound of it because the midrange is scooped in a way only noticeable to anyone with dog ears - then plays the same A major chord in *another* distorted amp and says “ahhhhh”. Some things aren’t meant to be understood.

[@ericiverson3441]

I agree that a lot of jazz guitarists need a little more edge in their sound, but joe sounds great. Also, how jazz guitar is RECORDED is a big factor.

[@hanskung3278]

He should shave.

[@marceli155]

Big master !!
