Joe Pass "Blues in G"

[@geoj6491]

I had the profound pleasure of meeting Mr. Pass after a show in NYC many years ago. Just as much as his music affected me, his humbleness, graciousness and kindness has stayed in my memory for 30+ years. I'll never forget it ... Thanks, Joe!

I got to jam with Joe once and at one point he said "I got it"....which I understood to mean...for me to lay out...he then went on to play something very similar to this tune. In retrospect, I was wise to lay out...the man was a monster player....thanks for posting this video...gives me good memories of this gentle man. RC

[@thepossessor]

it's not boring your mind just can't comprehend the music

[@GuitarIngenuity]

Oh man, I love you!! Thank you so much for posting this one - I didn't know this footage existed. Tears of joy in my eyes.

"You will have to look close but Joe either drops his pick or has to go into his pocket to retrieve one. " He's playing fingerstyle until 1:55, then grabs his pick. Joe always does this while keeping the song going with his left hand. Check some other videos.

You will have to look close but Joe either drops his pick or has to go into his pocket to retrieve one. In any case he never skips a beat and if you werent looking close you would never know. I watched him play at least 3 times with my Dad at Blues Alley in Georgetown. I can say without reservation he is the Apex Jazz Guitarist of all time. I never speak in absolutes but this is the exception. RIP-Joe

joe pass one of my favourite with franck martino

[@stopthatnoise]

[@Alan_Page]

Wish I saw more of him playing with a pick.

[@hijituso]

i learn how to play this song 8 pages of sheet music 6 pages still to go i love it. is very hard is on the book joe pass live from Mel Bay

[@dricodelima]

Muito bom! Isso sim é tocar guitarra!

[@helldemon618]

@leadimprov most rock musicians DO know how to play guitar thank you very much...

[@erpukeru]

@markofromfreiburg sure is! its a 8 bar blues with some extra stuff... and anyways it doesnt matter if it is or it is not cuz he called it blues in G. its just the name. O.o it could be his version of atumn leaves... if he wants to call it blues in G he is allright. so just let pass call it whatever pass wants to call it. hes a master anyways so dont mind the song names lol.

[@Finkldorkin]

yeah I saw that, its at 1:55

[@Tylervrooman]

O G

[@nicwoodhouse]

anyone know where i can find sheet music or even tabs for this?

[@toejam10]

I doubt kids who think rock musicians know how to play guitar will be watching this video. Though I do agree.

[@peterguit]

It's all about phrases not scales...

[@Alan_Page]

Not that I dislike his finger style.

[@1954tele]

Just try to quantify his talent in words. Can't be done.

[@Guitar1hero23]

im a troll? i like this guitar player, he happens to be my favorite...do u know what a troll is? and second i do play guitar so lets talk...my username is one i made in 6thgrade so....

[@TheMusitrip]

i would say pat martino...lol

[@Guitar1hero23]

ok then, name me some people who you think can "use their guitar". please grace the community with your intelligence

[@thuss80]

Now, students. What about those boring intermediate exercises? Hmm? All those scales and arpeggios? Dreary? Well, just give a listen to a guy whose dad made him practice 5 hours a day.

[@Guitar1hero23]

as a guy who listened to nothing but blues and old rock, and who now listens to nothing but jazz and classical.....they really dont. to me, and this is just my opinion, the pentatonic scale over the basic 1 4 5 progression is in no way exciting or musiclally satisfying....at all. its sooooooo boring

[@helldemon618]

sigh... its only boring if you cant use your guitar... but i'm not gonna argue with someone named guitarhero xD

[@IberianInteractive]

yeah blah blah. Of course it's all about transcribing -BUT- how you gonna learn all those fuckin fast crazy licks if you dont have a really SOLID good technique? HUH? you get that studying scales arpegios and stuff

[@leftsidedapendicitis]

Charlie Parker Thelonius Monk and Miles Davis are not boring. This crap is BORING!!!

[@5656bigsteve]

RUBBISH!!

[@leftsidedapendicitis]
