I have been a fan since I first heard him live in Dayton, Ohio in the early 80's. On one of his dates there, I went to hang out in with him in the green room between sets. Of all the great things in my life, he gave me his newly issued Ibanez model and listened to me play Somewhere over the Rainbow. With his help, I went on to make a career of solo guitar work as a mainstay. Thank you Joe, I'll never forget you.
Joe Pass, one of the greatest, jazz guitar, virtuosos the world has ever seen and the more you hear of him and see of him the more you come to realise what a master he was; I was very blessed to have had the opportunity to study with him for two weeks in 1980, for two hours every day and then I remained friends with him until his very sad death. For ever grateful to Joe Pass and I still benefit from his lessons and his music.
Like Wes Montgomery and George Benson, Joe Pass was a virtuoso 'without influences.' Funny how the great ones don't 'echo' earlier giants in their playing techniques. And within a few notes of hearing them on radio, you know instantly 'Who is playing?' Lenny Breau (who grew up here in Winnipeg Canada) asked me (circa 1971) in that little boy voice of his, "What'cha think of Chet?" And stared at me intently. Sensing I'd be judged by my answer, I started to say: "I have everything Mr. Atkins ever recorded, but I have to say your technique . . . " He cut me short: "No, no, no -- there is only one Chet." My consolation, 50 years on: After I shared that anecdote at Amazon (for Lenny Breau album reviews) the quote showed up at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society annual gathering in Nashville. On a banner above the entrance to the hotel ballroom: "'There is only one Chet' - Lenny Breau." p.s. Thanks, to fellow picker Tony Calabro for your informed note -- that triggered so many memories!

Joe Pass, Bob Magnuson, and Jim Plank, doesn’t get any better than this! R.I.P. Joe Pass.....and San Diego is very proud of Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Plank, outstanding musicians and fine gentlemen.
I grew up in Dayton, Ohio where Joe would play, usually on a travel night between Indy and Philly. I saw him at Gilly's night club. I went back to the green room during his first break. I asked him to help me with a tune I was working, where upon he gave me that guitar to play. I listen to him now and realize how luck I was to hear him, talk to him, and get direction to become the player I did. Thanks Joe.
I first heard Joe Pass in the mid 70s on an Art Van Dam record ( accordionist). I was about 15 and couldn't work out why this guitarist wasn't more famous. A year later he started touring with Oscar Peterson, and the rest is history. He was my favourite guitarist then. After decades of listening to and admiring so many other "more modern" players, I've come back to him and think he's still the greatest. There's real joy and sweetness in his music, all delivered with a quickness of mind that's really quite staggering.
I just discovered Joe Pass 2 days ago. Wow what a guitarist. His music sends me to bliss. It takes away my pain, and gives me some music to play with absolute pride. No one around me has heard such beauty and I share.

Joe Pass channels God through his effortless talent, as if an angel sent among us to reveal, with stunning aplomb, the signature of God inherent in the nature of Music, that sweetest of gifts graciously bestowed upon mankind. Joe's so soft spoken and kind and gentle, angelic even outside of his playing. Rest in peace, angel of Music.
Yup. Even Joe himself in an interview said that his playing ability must’ve been a gift from God because no one else in his family even played an instrument and Joe himself had no idea where his musicality came from. He was given incredible talent and I’m extremely thankful to be able to enjoy his playing years later
Ah, the wonderful Joe Pass, nobody does it better !! Love it !! How blessed I was to know him and how blessed I was to have had lessons with him !!!! Thanks for sharing. Tony Calabro'
I had lesson too & he yawned while ripping off 4th licks on West Coast Blues...totally relaxed when playing but super tight technique? Also studied with Dave Koonse (took over for Joe with Shearing) who auditioned with Ghost of a Chance which pissed Joe because of all the added ledger line 16th notes but Dave aced it. His son Larry is doing great, too.
Magnificent. What you have to remember too is that in Pass's generation generally there wasn't a lot of tuitional material about. These guys learned by stopping the records endlessly and by ear. To become this spectacularly advanced on the guitar when there was really few before him who had such a complex melodic understanding and sophistication is a reflection of his genius. You betcha Joe spent a lot of time with the jazz pianists back stage demanding that they tell him everything they did during the show! I'm sure somebody like Jimi Hendrix would have had immense respect for this guy.
James Anderson Ya, these guys learned to do this on their own. Then Berklee figured out how to convince young guys they have to have a degree to do what Joe and others did.
I'm a blues and country player, but Joe's playing was so advanced, it makes today's blues, rock and country players, sound like beginners. This guy was amazing. We lost him way to soon.
On a whim, I caught Joe giving a free guitar exposition/workshop in the Mission district in SF in the early 90’s. The highlight was how he mocked three chord rock. I still chuckle at the memory of Joe imitating rock guitarists repeating the same three chords over and over. What a guy he was....as humorous as he was talented....
So true. And expressed in so few words. Content combined with a nice 'economy of style.' Thanks for sharing, Lanes58. Mark B of the (usually) frozen North p.s. I celebrate great singers and songs -- today it's a gorgeous Country singer named Mandy Barnett -- who just did a Billie Holiday tribute album. Heard of her?

Real good music happens when you take away sheet music. I been playing acoustic and classical since I was 5. Never learned to read music. I listen a few times and hear what I envision being played. Then it comes out. Today's music I can't hear or envision what is coming 10 seconds later in songs. Music today is so unpredictable. Crap lyrics. Diluted with too many up and coming young artists who only make one or two albums then they dissapeared. I honestly can't name one artist of today in country or blues. Or any music honestly.
The musicianship is clearly heavenly here. But, can we take a minute to admire the absolutely impeccable camera work? Whoever shot this is clearly a musician themself. Thank you for uploading this!

There are no word to describe Joe Pass' genius except perhaps he was one in a trillion! If you're a guitarist you might be able to realize that it would take a lifetime to comprehend 1% of his improvisational abilities. And the fact that he gracefully swings as naturally as one breathes (with chops to spare) adds to the depth and scope of his talent. I had the privilege of studying with him and called him my friend yet still, decades later I'm dumbfounded whenever I hear him play. No words to describe his immense talent what-so-ever!!
A giant on the instrument and a great show! I first saw this many many years ago when it aired on public tv. Luckily I had a VCR tape handy and recorded it! I believe it was recorded at "E'LARRIO'S RESTAURANT"?
So totally awesome. Can't say I've ever heard better... I love Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Page, but this guy is in a different class of his own. he's super human, totally!
+Felix Novoa Look up Pat Martino and Wes Montgomery. When you watch Wes play, remember something: he couldn't read one note of music-totally self taught.
Clubdate was an ongoing series from KPBS in San Diego, which was in the middle of campus in those years in the Communications buildings. They shot some of the shows on the campus. There was a Freddie Hubbard show on-line for awhile from on campus from '87 which I saw. But, it was pulled. San Diego in the '80s was truly a special era.
Yes, but in La Jolla. I heard Pass there doing a solo gig midweek. Kenny Burrell would also do solo midweek gigs there. An intimate club with very few in attendance at those gigs. A perfect way to listen.
I felt in love In some way with Da Quilo Ques Sa... everytime I hear his recordings of that song I feel emotionally good! I do not know even how to explain it, but it makes me play the guitar with another point of view...! Cheers!
Tony Tothe So grateful that this great talent was given to us to enjoy. Mort Fega, the NYC late night jazz disk jockey, played the first albums he did during/after Synanon in the mid-60s. Fortunately he was one of the most recorded jazz guitarists, as witnessed by his presence on Youtub. Such beautiful harmonic concept . . .
It's not just that Joe was so good technically, it's that his heart and soul came through in wonderful melodic newness as his days went by. The guy talked. The guy spoke. The guy said something through his guitar. And he was always saying something new, which is so very, very hard to come by, even in the most accomplished musicians. Joe told a story as he played.
YESSS! FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!! *THANK YOU!!* \o/ - You Tube is FULL of ppl who are *technically* excellent on their fretboards - but I've yet to find one with _true voice_ - which is 'the difference that makes THE difference' as they say.
O.G. Heavy Metal players sometimes do it on their knees while looking at the ceiling! (ideally with their permed mullet catching some epic wind) - Perhaps this is helpful to the construction of your theory?
gotta love this stright-ahead-shit! these cats can swing! joe is easy one of the top 5 all-time-greats of (classical) jazz guitar. up there with charlie, django, wes and jim.
yes he is up there right on the very top....«the greatest of all time...» always hard to answer. the only thing that joe didn't do, is to compose... but yes: he deserves a place on the very top. regardless of the instrument.
I'm fairly new to jazz in listening and playing it on guitar. but a lot of what he's playing sounds very sharp and weird like the notes dont belong together. I come from a more bluesy rock background so can someone explain a little about jazz?????
"The Blue Side of Jazz" is one of the tutorial videos recorded with Joe here himself, where he explains in depth a lot of the concepts he use in his playing :)
I like to think of it in terms of semi-intoxicated stumbling, whereas the artist is seeing how far and in how many directions they can lean in without losing control. Seen in this light I find the feat is a lot more enjoyable to take in.
The music and playing have no connection with Jimi Hendrix, Joe lived the jazz life, played with great players, and got some good breaks, which of course he deserved. .Stellar guitarist.
mpdalles i believe the one he uses a lot is the Epiphone Emporium. Is that an ibanez...?? Oh yeah it is.. im not sure. I know he uses a gibson es 175... but not an ibanez
I have been a fan since I first heard him live in Dayton, Ohio in the early 80's. On one of his dates there, I went to hang out in with him in the green room between sets.

After Wes (okay and maybe George Benson) Joe had no real rivals up there at the top of the mountain.

Did he have perfect pitch and recall like Berelli Lagrene?
I had lesson too & he yawned while ripping off 4th licks on West Coast Blues...totally relaxed when playing but super tight technique?

Love this guy. His music always made me feel happy and took me out of any bad mood I was in. A genuine master of his craft.

Joe Pass doesn't play the guitar, he makes love to it. Simply jaw-droppingly awesome in his magnificence! Very much like Pat Martino.
The Genius that’s Joe Pass, the Maestro’s Maestro 😎👍🏻
grazie per la condivisione!!
So totally awesome. Can't say I've ever heard better... I love Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Page, but this guy is in a different class of his own. he's super human, totally!

Put a chart in front of him!"
thanks for posting...love it

Just Amazing Joe Pass was one of the best who ever lived
I'm pretty sure this was shot at Elario's in San Diego, I recognize it, I was there !
Clubdate was an ongoing series from KPBS in San Diego, which was in the middle of campus in those years in the Communications buildings.
They shot some of the shows on the campus. There was a Freddie Hubbard show on-line for awhile from on campus from '87 which I saw. But, it was pulled. San Diego in the '80s was truly a special era.

Jazz guitarists always sit down. Rock guitarists always stand up. Fusion guitarists usually stand up. Seems significant.
O.G. Heavy Metal players sometimes do it on their knees while looking at the ceiling!
(ideally with their permed mullet catching some epic wind)
- Perhaps this is helpful to the construction of your theory?
Disco guitarists get up and get down.
GENIO
Uff❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gosh he only played about 10,001 and 1 half chords ??? Yes ??? AWESOME-thing else
gotta love this stright-ahead-shit!
these cats can swing! joe is easy one of the top 5 all-time-greats of (classical) jazz guitar. up there with charlie, django, wes and jim.
Neil Raouf He is the greatest of all times.
yes he is up there right on the very top....«the greatest of all time...» always hard to answer. the only thing that joe didn't do, is to compose...
but yes: he deserves a place on the very top. regardless of the instrument.
+Neil Raouf to be fair, he composed in real time in every solo he had ever played.
Legend! BTW isn't that Ron Burgundy on Bass?
Wow. Chops!
I'm fairly new to jazz in listening and playing it on guitar. but a lot of what he's playing sounds very sharp and weird like the notes dont belong together. I come from a more bluesy rock background so can someone explain a little about jazz?????
"The Blue Side of Jazz" is one of the tutorial videos recorded with Joe here himself, where he explains in depth a lot of the concepts he use in his playing :)
thank you!
GuitarDudeBoii check out my channel! I play jazz on guitar and vocals! Mostly focusing on mastering both instruments.
I like to think of it in terms of semi-intoxicated stumbling, whereas the artist is seeing how far and in how many directions they can lean in without losing control. Seen in this light I find the feat is a lot more enjoyable to take in.
Jazz is the ONLY music that originated in the U.S.A.. YES ???
Infelizmente a grande maioria não faz e não entende. Pior pra todos nós.

I guess i need to be this good right?
I'd have to be on speed to do that
Is he playing an Ibanez? what model could this be?
The Ibanez Joe Pass model with the weirdly positioned single pick-up.
mpdalles i believe the one he uses a lot is the Epiphone Emporium. Is that an ibanez...?? Oh yeah it is.. im not sure. I know he uses a gibson es 175... but not an ibanez
Ibanez JP-20
mpdalles he',,s a master
To be fair he could make a dirty, world-scuffed $25 dimestore hunka junk 6 string
Ring, swing & sing
like the poetry of angels.
