True Fire made a course with Pat Martino called the Nature of Guitar. I have only been through 20 of the 83 videos in the course, and I am stunned by his approach to the guitar and his explanations. So sorry he’s passed on, glad his teachings are available. RIP Pat Martino. Thanks for posting
I heard about that on another TH-cam video of a seminar he did a while back. I’m working on a video now that discusses his augmented triads! Brilliant approach to the guitar! And thanks for watching bro!
@donindri The TrueFire guitar course actually includes the octave trick that Chuck is demonstrating in this video! You can download it in PDF form (which I did; I have it saved on my laptop). The “correct” name for this would be “octave displacement” of the chromatic scale/displaced chromatic octaves. If you like oddball shred guitar, or simply advanced guitar lessons, there’s a great lesson video by Patrick Rondat available on TH-cam. It’s about an hour and a half long. (Patrick Rondat Is a French guitarist who was featured on one of the original G3 tours during the 1990’s, along with Satch and Vai). Hope this helps! Have a great day!!! 👍 😊
I found an alternate way to do it within a four-fret box without shifting until the end. Of course, there are three places where you have to play semitones on the same string, one at the end to shift on fret down and start over. This is a good warmup.
Thanks for watching, Larry! When Pat showed me this decades ago, he actually handed me a sheet with several different permutations. I've long ago lost it, and this was my fave, so hence, the only one I remembered;)!
Backward and forward as well. My arthritis is remembers these exercises, great for the right hand, up/down and down/up. Pat had killer technique. Thank you best wishes to you as well.
Thanks man! I bought it for $500 from my friend, George Bradfute about 30 years ago. It's a '68 blonde I believe. It was in Strings and Things Music in Memphis when their first store burned. It got so hot in the room it was in that it turned it burnt orange;) I had stacked DiMarzio's in it for years but I just recently put the original pickups back in it! I appreciate you watching!
@@ChuckJonesMusic hi again Chuck - now you got me hooked! just watched "Sitting Down with Guitarist, Hit Songwriter, & Publisher Chuck Jones - LIVE" and now I know all about you - so nice -
When Martino plays it on his True Fire video, he goes from the Bb to the open A string , being the 5th string. (instead of the usual pattern) Thank you for this ❤

@@nickkellie Very kind of you to say, my friend. I met Pat a few times at GIT back in the day and was fortunate to sit and pick his brain one day for a couple of hours. Thanks so much for watching!
Too funny. I learned another permutation of this, when looking for it, played your version, and the original came back to me. I think it was Pat demonstrating on Truefire. Hey, I think we met at an airport and talked about a cruise line gig you had a few years back. I was carrying a traveler guitar and you asked to see it I recall. Small world. My brother in law was at GIT back then. I have the class photo somewhere.
That's pretty cool John! Yeah, Pat gave me a printout sheet the day I hung out in his office that had several permutations of the "Octavistics", but I've long ago lost it. This was my favorite which is why I guess I still remember it after all these years! I've never played on a cruise line. However, the bit about meeting in the airport and me asking to see your Traveler guitar sounds really familiar! What's your bro-in-law's name and do you have any idea what year he would have been there? I was there around 1979 or 80. If you come across that pic, snap a photo on your camera and send it to me. Email is on my website!! Pleasure to meet you John!!
@@ChuckJonesMusic your welcome Chuck. I actually have been studying with Pat Martino for 20 years as his student in Philadelphia. So I really can appreciate your video. Keep up the good work.
Chris Batson thats awesome man! I hope Pat is doing well. It was many years ago when I got to pick his brain one day at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood.
Wow Frank, I just saw your "rest and play in peace". I didn't realize he had passed. Evidently it just happened. Thanks for the link. I watched it, and at the end he does the exact same octave I demonstrated. As I said in the video, I got to spend an entire morning with him, one on one, about 40 years ago, while attending G.I.T., now know as the Musician's Institute. He was doing a residency there at the time and had a small office. This must have been just prior to his aneurysm. I remember walking in and seeing him playing this gorgeous Ovation Adamas gut string guitar that was tuned down about a major 3rd. It sounded HUGE! He was so giving of his time. I spent at least 2 or 3 hours picking his brain. I recorded the session on a cassette tape I believe. Man, what I wouldn't give to still have that. He showed me at least one other musical nugget involving diminished chords that I hope to do a video on soon. Once again, thanks for sending Frank. He was a great cat.
Hey man! Unfortunately, the year I was at GIT (MI), which if I recall correctly was around 1979 or 80, Howard Roberts wasn't around much. I do recall him making an appearance while I was there, and one with a rather dramatic entrance. As I recall (and I suppose I could have dreamed it;), he set down on the roof of G.I.T. in a helicopter. Either that, or he touched down somewhere nearby. At that time, G.I.T. was on Hollywood Blvd., just a few blocks down from Grauman's Chinese Theater. Hard to imagine he had a helipad on top of that bldng, but I recall thinking, even at the time: Howard is obviously into something that pays a whole lot better than jazz guitar;) The recollection of the entrance has kind of overwhelmed whatever transpired on that visit. It could have been the time that Steve Lukather gave us a seminar and solo performance in the GIT theater. Howard might have made the introduction. But he wasn't actually on the faculty the year I was there. Wish he had been!
@@ChuckJonesMusic Awesome!! Grew up listening to mars volta:) hopefully all is well in your part of the world. I'm working on this octave displacement now:)
Choosing the figuring is not jus simply what's comfortable to you, yes it has to be comfortable I agree, but how the fingering SOUNDS must ultimately be the way you make your final decision. Which fingering sounds Fatter, and which fingering lends itself to a gliss which will again ultinately determine how your entire solo sounds. We.ve got to think of the big picture not just short segments. By the way, your guitar sounds really thin because your action is way to low, and I strongly recommend you up your string gauge. If your playing a .009 set, you've got to go up to an .011 set. An added benefit to this is you can actually set your action low (clearly that's how you like it) with heavioer strings but they won't "bottom out" against the frets.
I had not heard that Bernie. I certainly hope he is okay. Maybe Chris Batson could shed some light. I believe he said he's been studying with Pat for 20 years.
@@SIRONEDRAGON, hey man, are you referring to a seminar at GIT way back then? I went to several, but the whole year I was there, I don't think I heard Howard Roberts play at all, or Pat Martino, except sitting in the room with him that day. And can't quite remember about Ray Brown! Why, did you go to GIT?
@@ChuckJonesMusic 1983 with norman brown.. frank gambale just started teaching along with scot henderson,,,oscar cataya....did you ever see HR playing his hr fusion. the same one in the picture on my channel of hr sitting on a stool that picture is from a gibson guitar ad

Thanks! I use to use that double octave chromatic sequence. I had forgotten about it until this video.
Thanks bro! My pleasure. I appreciate you watching!
I've got the DVD this is from - this concept is marked up as "Octavistics"
Interesting Bernie! Is the DVD from Pat Martino? I don't recall him having such a cool term for it back in the 70s!;)

Go to his website and his Go Fund Me page and it tells the story. He may very well never play again. He is gravely ill.
Unfortunately he passed away this year..
Sounds like the soundtrack to "Lost In Space.."
