Doesn't look like he wants to go home to me. Nothing wrong with checking the time at your gig. I met him numerous times after his shows. The nicest guy I ever met. Gave me a few lessons too. Wish he was still around.
I started with autumn leaves a few years ago and currently my teacher is having me compose a chord melody for Summertime. It’s way harder than I expected 😢
@@chadwicks_guitar Writing any chord melody is going to be challenging, but the beauty of jazz standards is that they create the logical tensions and resolutions for you. Your job is to hear them and play them, but not think about them. If you think too much, you psyche yourself out. Consider this: Without context, a single note means nothing. Notes outside of context are identical, and they can take on literally any function. Every note can be the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. It is the context that turns a note into something meaningful. Now, context can include a sequence of notes like a scale, because the previous note is retained in memory. Playing a scale at tempo is thus a way in which context can be created without chords. However, the context of that is limited because one scale played across every chord will sound different. If you're writing a chord melody, what you're doing is creating a context for a single note, since you aren't improvising like a saxophonist. Let the standard carry the logic of your context, and within each chord you have 12 options to choose from using your ear to create what sounds like an expression of your inner voice. Forget about key signatures and scales. Just use the standards chords, especially emphasizing the 3 and 7, and add to it whatever enhances the context of a single chord. Hope that helps!
@@Mountain_Storm interesting, I always saw autumn leaves as more difficult. I was attracted to the simple melody of summertime, and being able to improvise with a pentatonic scale. Maybe it's the dominant chord taken from the harmonic minor scale that is difficult to understand? I think musicians will struggle with different things for different reasons. If I have to remember too many chords, I end up giving up on learning a song, which is an unfortunate flaw of mine. I Remember Clifford is a favorite of mine, but it changes chords every half measure so I gave up on it. I'll come back eventually because there is logic to chord progressions and the better we get the more we can make sense of all music.
It's probably the most overplayed jazz standard there is, which I suspect is because EVERYBODY knows it and the basic changes are dead simple. I'm a guitarist and I've been tired of it for at least thirty years. Of course, if I could play like Joe Pass...
È un brano molto importante, interpretato da un grande musicista, per questo la trascrizione ha altrettanto valore. Però, c'è un però: questo brano è troppo difficile e troppo personale é l'improvvisazione. Io sconsiglierei a normali musicisti di cimentarsi, è un pezzo per professionisti, ed anche di alto livello. 🎶✨🎶
Ci vuole un po' di studio, ma è fattibile. Studiare l'improvvisazione di grandi musicisti è la maniera migliore per imparare ad improvvisare. Ancora più utile se uno si impegna a trascrivere da se le parti dato che allenare l'orecchio è più importante che allenare le dita. Bisogna sempre cercare di fare cose al di sopra delle proprie possibilità, altrimenti serve a poco. A ragionare come te non si migliora. Abbraccio.
If one has developed the base technique required to master the fret board, then songs like Summertime are eminently playable. Only twelve notes to the octave in the Western scale. Of note here, the flat fifth. Once you master the fret board (not visually but by audio intervals), you play with intention as Chick Correa intoned. Joe was a great player who had the gift.

I love it when he kicks into the beebop rhythm.
One more reason that explains my picture profile. Thanks for the update and please keep posting more JP transcriptions.
I like his fingerstyle playing sound much more than his usual picking
summertime was the first standard i learned, over ten years ago. this just blows my mind.
That was a bold pick as a first standard😅 me struggeling with autumn leaves

Summertime is much simpler than Autumn leaves to learn.
Nice transcription
I just had to stop everything I had to do to watch this
And again
That’s the solo to Cherry Pie by Warrant
Joe, my all time favourite player.
Beautifully done! Masterpiece!
Pure genius!
Amazing!
The forever great Mr Joe Pass 🎉
Wow
Are my ears deceiving me, or was he constantly changing key all the way through? Very beautiful and flowing.
that watch check at 6:06 is not transcribed :(
I get so sick of playing this tune. Guit. always want to play it. yada yada yada
He looked at his watch right at the end.

Who is he

One of the greatest guitarists of all time.
