Crazy because I just heard of him last night and it’s like the player and teacher I’ve been needing all these years. I never really listened to jazz until recently . Now I’m obsessed . His spirit musta sent me in the right direction . 💪🧞♂️
There was a period of time where Pat Martino was the best guitarist in the world. I was so lucky to see him and Joey Defrancesco at the Toronto Jazz Fest. RIP to both of them.
I've been away from jazz for a while, just coming back to check out a Pat Martino video; this comment was my notification that Joey Defrancesco passed. What a loss.
I’ve been playing guitar around a decade, mostly rock and blues, recently I’ve delved deeply into the world of jazz and have become hooked on the genius of Coltrane, Joe Pass et all. Pat is my most recent discovery and I can’t believe It has taken this long to dig his style. His melodic ability, willingness to share his knowledge and above all limitless passion for music has inspired me greatly.
4:20 "This idea continuously came up (some seconds of the most beautiful tonal meandering) ... and the playing of it produced pleasure" That about sums it up :) So glad I decided to look up random jazz guitarists today.
He went through a lot and only got better. I am glad that he lived a long life and brought so many good things to music. Even at a very old age, he remained a musician with a fresh outlook and a willingness to move on.
I discovered Pat back in the 70's when I was in high school with Pat Martino Live! Been a huge fan ever since. He's a national treasure. His release The Maker is my favorite especially the track Noshufuru.
his Brain surgery was a miracle . i think the surgeons were masters and boost PAT's hippocampe .......because he has a fantastic memory and unbilievable command ! He was born to be a genius and Music took care and loved him !
This man has been the inspiration for more great players of the past half century than anyone, and he continues to inspire to this day. My best to you, Pat. Keep the light burning.
When he first started playing i got so lost in the music, i was confused when it ended so abruptly. It transported me in a matter of seconds. So beautiful. What a legend.
A few years back when Guitar Player magazine had fine print quotes from great guitarists at the bottom of some pages Pat Martino was quoted as saying "there is a global war going on between mediocrity and dedication" (I think that's a correct quote). I've never forgotten that and consequently I feel like I never practice enough. Now, I'm sure of it!
Truly... and without anchoring his right hand on the guitar. The other amazing thing is how seamlessly he parks that pick between his index and middle fingers for the fingerpicking parts at 19:50
Musical consciousness is an interesting thing. What he is saying is that compositional skills are based on improvisational skills which is what the Guitar Ladder System does for players wanting to take a huge leap. I have been a huge fan of pat for a long long time and love learning from him.
Just bought this lesson: based on this video alone, transcriptions are complete, solid and accurate (for those wondering if this section is transcribed)...still wish truefire would develop an iPhone app tho
A real bona fide Maestro of the guitar, R.I.P. 1944-2021

@@coltonshanley1921 great to hear.

Lucky
He's my favorite Jazz guitarist forever. No one can touch his playing not even now.
Sad to hear about Joey Defrancesco's passing... Very talented, too soon also. RIP.

His playing is so beautiful it almost hurts
This is so right. You can not express it better.
Pat has an innate sense of harmony, and he was gifted with the delicate touch (perfect hands) and a quick mind/intellect! All said,,,, he's a genius.
What do you mean almost? Pat's playing and progressions evoke such emotion.
It DOES hurt! Amazing, it's just like a contemporary Bach...
One Big Mister Martino ,,great
He sounds like a doctor casually talking about the human anatomy. Love it
Martino is always eloquent is his harmonic expression, but his melodic analysis remains decades over my head theoretically. A jazz scientist.
Pat Martino is a real maestro .

Brilliant! I only just learned of Pat. I hope his legacy can plant a seed of greatness in my own playing
ive learned more about jazz in 25 minutes than the last 35 yrs of playing guitar.
He will truly be missed ,a real legend .His music has and will influence future generations of musicians until the end of time .
The art of teaching by making sense. It's beautiful.

It's a pleasure watching 70 year old Pat play and talk like that! He looks still passionate! :)

Such a great lesson, this is everything every guitarist should know.
Heard everything from Bach to the Beatles in his playing, amazing!
What an amazing Jazz mind and guitarist! Pat is truly a Jazz guitar legend. That guitar is gorgeous...wow!
Wow this is a very concise explanation of something very good to hear and to play. Your music in the past is magnificent. A great way to compose.
This man has been the inspiration for more great players of the past half century than anyone, and he continues to inspire to this day. My best to you, Pat. Keep the light burning.
When he first started playing i got so lost in the music, i was confused when it ended so abruptly. It transported me in a matter of seconds. So beautiful. What a legend.
Pat, This is one of, if not the best presentations of harmony and theory i have had the pleasure of listening to. Thank you so much. 🙇🏻 🙏🏼
God bless you Pat Martino
Masterful, lyrical, soulful, and awesome. thanks .
Great man Pat is. Been a fan sense the early 80s. Him and Cal Collins are my favorite.
Just beautiful
Master Martino, truly you are a Master.
Fantastic way to look (and implement) at composing. Inspirational
Thank you very much for your invaluable lesson🙏 You are a great teacher as well as the guitar legend. I hope you be in good health🙏🌹🌹🙏
a musical genius and gift to the world
A great book on this subject is "Harmonic Mechanisms for Guitar" by George Van Epps. Great post!
Idk why he's such a good teacher. I understand everything he's saying easily, and can apply it right back. His playing is everything...
The world's greatest guitarist and my all time favorite musician is wearing grandma glasses. Epic.
wow so beautiful Pat Martino!!!
What a lesson! God bless you!
I hope he releases these on a solo guitar album. Parts sounded like liturgical hymns, others like Ravel. Gorgeous.
I'm gonna learn this at all costs..
Love you Pat..... thank you for sharing!
Great pieces:
6:47
8:31
19:51
Do you know the names of them?
@@jubnx2781 I guess it is just study pieces from "A Compositional Journey".
so inspiring.. to see what a master can do ...keep practising right
Bella lección de composición aplicada a la guitarra. Gracias por este video.
What a wonderful man.
This is pure joy! It reminds me of J. S. Bach played by Glenn Gould.
Nikolaus Brocke I thought de same thing 😉
AGREED!!!
great , i like these intervals inverted thanks you professor excelent
Wow! Chocolate tone meets complete mastery!
14:08 amazing-makes me feel like every thing is o.k. like a sunny afternoon in the winter
magnifico , great player, master , i like very much,thanks

Thank you for sharing this is so enlightning
my god, thank you so much for uploading this..
Omg this is beautiful
the absolute best ever...
Kind of fitting he passed from this dimension on All Saints Day.....God Bless You Pat.
Che meraviglia! R.I.P. MAESTRO!
That is one beautiful guitar!
looks georgeous, shocking
$8000, I want it!
its designed for him by the maker
Best Jazz guitar video
I just noticed he's doing that all with a pick. Amazing.
Truly... and without anchoring his right hand on the guitar. The other amazing thing is how seamlessly he parks that pick between his index and middle fingers for the fingerpicking parts at 19:50
Pat Matino plays some beautiful chords sounds more like he's doing a musical score for film or a classical piece.
Sublime Forever!!!
So brilliant!
Lovely, very enjoyable.
so mesmerizing ...
Musical consciousness is an interesting thing.
What he is saying is that compositional skills are based on improvisational skills which is what the
Guitar Ladder System does for players wanting to take a huge leap. I have been a huge fan of pat for a long long time and love learning from him.
Beautiful playing
So enjoyable , Pat shares his wonderful artistic insight . A favorite guitarist for many , I can hear why .
Maestro, thank you 🙏🙏🙏👌👍
What brand of coffee do I get?
I see what you did there.
Again!
Have a seat and stady it.
Great information, thank you!
This beautiful composition reminds me a Brazilian style called "choro".
great great guitarist....
Pure inspiration and spiritual guitar playing.
lol
absolutely
I can't take my eyes of him!
Enjoyment of sound...Thank You ...
Que grande maestro !!!
This is pat's most lyrical performance, rest in peace，Pat
Just bought this lesson: based on this video alone, transcriptions are complete, solid and accurate (for those wondering if this section is transcribed)...still wish truefire would develop an iPhone app tho
Браво,Маэстро!
The greatest...
great job! I like those chords.
incredible!
genio...thanks Pat
Awesome! As a Canuck, i particularly enjoyed some of the interval choices around 18:00
Agreed! I vote we revise the national anthem to something way cooler like this.
Que lo pario !!! Maravilloso !
Pure inspiration and spiritual guitar playing,
