Joe Pass Style Jazz Chord Magic

[@vincentchen5341]

Wish Tomo could add a new section of chord melody solo style in Guitar Wisdom!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You will see ... I just made this detail version of lesson for my Guitar Wisdom. I am working constantly to update, improve Guitar Wisdom site,

@@TomoFujitaMusic Wow, I’m gonna keep practicing tomorrow!

Awesome! Please check more lessons like this video at Music Theory II (Applied Theory) section at my Guitar Wisdom. Thank you!

[@giocoso4576]

you're casually playing jazz on all kinds of guitars really shows that great tone is in the player's hand!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@J0HN01DATA]

I really like this break down of how the 9s, 11s, and 13s are just talking with structure of notes and not shape. EXCELLENT!! Way more fun and useful to be applied in other places than shape, own the sound.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! It's all about sound! Thank you so much!

[@jazzman1954]

‘Intervals’ all you need to know. Absolutely true! Music, all music just consists of intervals and rhythmic patterns.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@RobertSaxy]

I’ve taught music to a lot of kids in my life mostly through schools and a way that I tell them the difference between learning guitar/bass guitar/drum set and wind instruments (brass in particular) when they’re choosing a starting point in their musical journeys is that learning guitar is easy to learn but intensely difficult to be great at it, at least technique wise, while for brass it’s intensely difficult to be ok but much easier than guitar to sound great. Both are equally difficult in different ways to be a beast on though. Much appreciate the continuous flow of great content including this gem

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing. Guitar is two ways to teach: Easy way or Detail way.Two ways to learn Easy = Stuck for many years. or Learn from foundation (Harder to learn unless you are so patient!) = improve forever!

[@BucketheadsBucket]

Thank you so much! You’re lessons have been so helpful from when I started 8 years ago all the way too now!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You’re very welcome! Thank you!

日本語で書かせて頂きます。ジョー・パスのように弾いてみたいと思っていたので、大変参考になりました。

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

参考になってとっても嬉しいです！ ありがとうございます！

[@charlescamiel7082]

This is right up my alley. Do you feature jazz studies on your Guitar Wisdom web site?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome! Yes. "Jazz Standards" section and "Music Theory2"

[@ericheine2414]

Domo arigato Tomo. That's what we call some highbrow stuff. Almost ready to torture myself with paper and pencil. Where I'm at in my development right now my time is best spent working the simpler stuff. I will try to play Summertime. Very cool Tomo

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes!!

[@FatihNizipli]

youre awesome as always

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@venturaVlogger]

Jazz has those open ended sounds sounds great but I can't get myself to get a feel of, and lots of half steps also

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You can learn much more simple things before 1/2 steps jazzy stuff.

I was secretly hoping you’d do a video on chord melody, and who better to study than the great Joe Pass. Thanks so much! 🙏

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I teach Joe Pass style playing. Glad you liked it. More chord melody lessons.

[@benjamincook3416]

is there a tab for this?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Why do you need?

[@SamSveistrup]

And these are all in the major scale

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Basic part is. Then tensions.

[@burroughs334]

Tomo, didn’t you used to study with Joe Pass? I seem to remember hearing a story about someone bringing him cigars and I thought I remembered that being you telling that story…

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes! Only once at his hotel room. Neal Itzler and I brought Joe to a cigar store in Boston! Then he gave us a few hours master class. I still have that cassette tapes!

[@burroughs334]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Oh wow, great! I attended one of your clinics at Berklee in the summer of 2001 and thought I remembered that. That must have been amazing!

[@eduardorolda9655]

Its quite confusing

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

That case, you need more foundation. Like triad inversions & 7th chord inversions. This is a little advanced lesson so you can not understand it without previous simple lessons. Thank you!
