@@fabianvanderknaap2102 it's all good. Hearing Joe play his heart out. Even he makes mistakes. Herbie Hancock tells a story of playing with Miles. Herbie plays a very wrong note and expects his boss to crush him. Miles simply plays something to go with the mistake. To Mikes it wasn't wrong it was just something that happened and he went with it. Genius at work.
Been a guitar player for 9 years. I thought I was all that and a bag of chips when I was able to play Hendrix and SRV songs. As soon as I stepped foot into the Jazz realm, boy was I wrong. Any person who has the courage and discipline to practice such a complex and intricate genre has my utmost respect. Mr. Pass, you are surely missed!
@@mongoharryI don’t agree with that. Pedals can inspire. If you use them as a tool they can expand your horizons. They can also influence your playing and open possibilities that would not exist otherwise. Joe was from a different era and style. He had mastered the instrument. I’d like to think that as a musical explorer he may have put some pedals to creative use.
Joe Pass actually didn't like the sound of the microphone and PA system. The sound that you hear in this video is not the sound that he liked. Later on in his career, he would stop using an amp and would instead be plugged directly into the PA system so that the guitar would be heard the way he liked it.
I only admire 3 jazz guitarist. Joe pass for his technical and understanding of root of every chords, django reindhart for his soulfull melody, and wes montgomery for his virtuosity
Ive been playing since I was 9, and now hearing this at 70 I better take some lessons and maybe someday ill be able to play, first time listening to this wonderful flowing jazz im just a duckie in a new world. Hats off to Mr.Joe hes smoother than a safeway chicken
Mr joe pass incontestablement le plus grand guitariste jazz génie absolu, bon nombre de guitaristes sont excellent Jimmy raney ,Chuck Wayne, hank garland lenny breau ,erb ellis ,billy bauer ,Howard roberts ,george VAN eps, jhonny smith, Oscar moore, Charlie Christian, René thomas tal farlow. tous de tres bons guitaristes mais pass,était inégalable 🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍🎺🎷🎻🥁🎸👍
Thank you posting this video! I had the great opportunity to have seen him live on several occasions. One of those included a green room lesson where he helped me understand tritone subs. I actually played that guitar he is playing in this video. I modeled myself after him, but still can't carry his guitar case. Absolutely amazing.
My background is hard rock but I love Jazz so much. I tried studying it for a bit and realized how little I know about the instrument I love. I’ve been starting to play again now that my daughter is a bit older and revisiting this gives me so much inspiration, unlike before when I would just feel intimidation. Seeing the close ups on not just the fretting hand but the picking hand is quite astounding. He moves all over the fretboard and strings with utter ease. Really makes me want to pick up the guitar and practice more.
If you want to tackle jazz... Google a guy named Robert Conti. I was one of his face-to-face students in the 1980s. He has a whole large series of "No Modes, No Scales" instruction on playing jazz. Before Conti, I was your atypical 3 chord rock and roll guy who knew some cool licks in the Pentatonic blues scale. Conti showed me the way and I never looked back. Conti recorded an album with Joe Pass called "The Liing Legends". One side is Joe doing solo work, the other side of the LP (I'm dating myself, LPs... LOL) was Robert Conti. -- If you can find the cut, check out Conti's song "Rotation" it is a head he wrote over the changes to the song "Cherokee" and will blow your mind as far as his chops. He is the real deal and a good friend of mine. "In order to play jazz guitar you need to play jazz guitar" -- that is one of Conti's mottos. Throw away all the mode books and scales book, and dig into his teaching style. You will find out very soon you won't need to wprry about "how little I know about the instrument" because your friends will be telling you, you are now the master....
I found the cut of Robaert Conti's "Rotation" from his "Jazz Quintet" album... he recently released the full song on TH-cam here: th-cam.com/video/Y2vztZmfeqg/w-d-xo.html
It is a shame that 24 people foolishly thumbs down this video. They probably don’t understand how great Jazz music is and it important impact on other styles of music. Joe Pass is a legendary artist in his own right and is loved and like by millions of people around the world. May his soul and the timeless love of Jazz live on.
I prefer to believe that they accidentally hit the thumbs down without even realizing it. I've made that mistake, too, and hopefully I caught them all.
maybe they dont like his style . you assume they are ignorant but they might not like how Joe pass overplayed a lot. always filling up every space with dibbly dab , he doesn't let things breathe. maybe that's what they dont like
I'm about to go off to a solo jazz guitar gig, and I'm watching this for the XXth time for inspiration.. My main problem at gigs is focus: When I'm practicing alone I'm relaxed and have perfect focus, but at gigs I occasionally get self-conscious and lose my concentration, resulting in flubs. But when I watch Pass, he seems completely engrossed in the music to the point of being utterly oblivious of the audience until he's all done with a tune, then he seems to "wake up" out of his virtuosic trance and realize he's playing live. Not saying that I'm at JP's level of virtuosity, but watching this (and other JP vids) inspires me to maintain focus and be less self-conscious.
Wow, you can tell on both his playing and body language that he is really struggling the first 15 minutes of the set. I never seen him punish a guitar like that, he is clearly not at all satisfied with his own performance and the guitar sounds like it's slightly out of intonation. An then he comes out and excuses to that audience! This video really is a testament to the level of excellence Uncle Joe strived for in every performance. And a rare glimpse into one of those tuff nights, where a travelling perfoming artist just has to push through the struggle and frustrations to deliver the goods, no matter what it takes. Thank you for the upload, and thank you for the music maestro Joe!
This comment is just for myself, later: At 23:37 - after killing that first set, dazzling all the people in attendance and the thousands and thousands who have listened to or watched this since, Joe Pass comes out and says he wishes he could try it all over again. The lesson is that THIS is what being awesome feels like. Everyone wants to be awesome, but a lot of us are discouraged and sidelined along the way by mistakes, shortcomings, failures, what have you. And then masters like him play a set like that and only remember their own mistakes. Improving feels a lot like messing up. Keep at it, whatever it is, and you will likely be awesome, to somebody's taste, eventually.
@@sebasguitar132 Joe is my absolute idol. I had the good fortune to meet with him and play for him and a little bit together with him during a master class he held at my university. I was first chair guitar so didn't have a choice (I was terrified at what he was going to say about my playing). Anyways is as beautiful a person as he was a player. He continues, and will continue to inspire guitar players forever. God bless you Joe, Rest in peace.
SANS AUCUN DOUTE, JOE PASS, FUT LE MEILLEUR GUITARISTE-MÉLODISTE-ABSTRACIONISTE, DE TOUT LES TEMPS... HEUREUSEMENT VIENDRONT D'AUTRES!!! IL NOUS MANQUE, ÉNORMÉMENT...!!!

Thanks Gerry!!!! Coisa mais maravilhosa!!!! Essa música é perfeita, leve, tão humana. Joe Pass, como Hendrix e tantos outros, nunca muitos, fazem parecer fácil a técnica... Sorry not tell in english!!
THE BEST the best my teacher the United States of video lessons god have him in glory great person friend and a great musician I will always remember you in my heart joe you are and you will always be the best
He uses a Ibanez here, the ES-175 has rarely been on stage since the late 70's/early 80's. Nailing his tone would have to come from practising/improving the tone you make with your fingers, not so much from the guitar..
@@voxwah75 He's playing the ibanez jp20, a guitar project named after him. It had a pickup placed further away from the neck than usual jazz boxes. He perhaps liked that more treble sound for solo gigs?
@@jasonmudgarde286 IOh okay, I read somewhere that he was not amused with the neck sounding so trebly which I can imagine. He sounded best on the D'angelico guitars of you ask ne
@voxwah75 According to Ibanez Wiki "He wanted a guitar to complement his finger style technique . This resulted in a 25 and a half inch scale and 22 frets which made the pickup to be situated further to the bridge " I owned one for 20 years, a lovely instrument but I would have preferred a neck and bridge pickup arrangement. Was hard to get the deeper warm sound associated with jazz. Best wishes.
I think this level of greatness is inborn. Then practice and study In an interview Joe told of when he was 14 years old. His father would have buddies over and he'd call his son down to play the popular tunes of the day. He told Joe to "fill it in." Joe said chromatic scales wouldn't do it. This is where Joe's solo style began.
Long before there was Stanley Jordan, there was Joe Pass. And like Stanley, Joe sounded like two guitars instead of one but Joe did so on a conventional standard guitar.
Stanley is a brilliant musician, no argument from anyone there. But the fact of the matter is that he's a keyboardist who literally transforms keyboard technique to a guitar.
We do remember and revere the masters...but alas...and sadly...the torch must pass....may the future holder of the torch be as worthy...true genius here...

Mr. Pass, you are surely missed!
JP was the GOAT of all time on jazz guitar and I salute you on your (and our) love of his contribution to the greatest music (imho) of all time!!
Hey nobody can sneeze at Hendrix. But jazz is in a league of its own!
No reverb, no distortion, no band, no anything to hide behind! Brave... and wildly talented... one with the music!
And no sheet music. Listening. Creating. In the moment.
Thats right
Pure talent, joe is the boss!!
I think that's probably part of the reason he got so good. Messing around with effects pedals drains time and effort.
@@mongoharryI don’t agree with that. Pedals can inspire. If you use them as a tool they can expand your horizons.

One can’t hide behind reverb, distortion or any effect for that matter. That’s archaic thinking to believe that nonsense.
Joe always hade the most beautiful guitar tone ever. That tone all Jazz guitarists chased after. As well as his awesome chops!
Wes M, George B and Joe Pass are my 3 favorite !!
For sure Joe had a beatiful playing
Joe Pass actually didn't like the sound of the microphone and PA system. The sound that you hear in this video is not the sound that he liked. Later on in his career, he would stop using an amp and would instead be plugged directly into the PA system so that the guitar would be heard the way he liked it.
Honestly, what's amazing is that he could get this from virtually any high-headroom setup. It's all in his fingers.
Beautiful the guitar with chort melody
I only admire 3 jazz guitarist. Joe pass for his technical and understanding of root of every chords, django reindhart for his soulfull melody, and wes montgomery for his virtuosity
I agree
There's lots of good jazz guys. Weird comment.
@@JD-vj4go i agree that there are so many great jazz guitarist. But this three are on another level.

Love that shot from 7:50 onwards where the cameramen focus on his tapping feet.
It's a nice creative touch that you don't see often these days.
i have that JP 20 guitar bought 1980 and cry when I see how Joe plays it lol

Yes the one and only....Joe👍👍🎶🎶🎶
Love how during Guten Tag Florian Joe is basically the bassist.
The Great One , Joe Pass ...
The best are Joe Pass👍👍👍👍👌😎
i love him! such a calm master
I have no words for this...I'll just listen, and go to sleep while I listen
Heard Joe at Ronnie Scott's on a rainy London night in July 1987. Man!
* When God created the Guitarist he created Joe Pass! ✌️❤️
Joe's mastery of his instrument is rivaled only by the exquisiteness of his arrangements.
Pass, THE BEST....😭😭😭😭👋👋👋👋👋🙏🙏🙏
grande joe...still miss you
The only jazz guitarist I can think of that resembles a jazz pianist. Bass, treble and melody on an instrument designed for two at most.
In my opinion I would say he was The best guitarrist in his generation
My top 3 tips on how to play like Joe Pass:
1. You cannot.
The sad truth, we can learn from him and get better, but there will never be another Joe Pass
I know this is a year old, but definitely the funniest comment Ive seen in a while. And true!
Lol, 11/10
yes cause you'r probably not Joe Pass
50 years ago started listen to him... kann et immer noch nicht... :-)))))))))))
I will be playing drums with you soon Joe
allways amazing to hear
I just love this man
it is very difficult to follow his creative notes. he is so instinctive great player. legend still alive here as a fact.
I've never seen this one...incredible
I just needed another reminder that I have no talent...
One of the greatest, though I can't think of anyone greater at the moment.
RIP, Joe P.
human beings aren't all bad. Just joking. Joe is so fantastic. so much passion. my ears are feeling pretty good right now.
Super génial
Incredible..Someone should have scanned brains of top musicians and revealed how they heard so much music!
Thank you, signore Mariano Passalaqua, for being so persistent with your son. We wouldn't have Joe without you.
when super mario retired from plumbing and princess saving he became a jazz guitarist
This ^ lol
Gênio!
Use your smile to change the world; 🙂
don’t let the world change your smile❗️
Amazing!
Who's the other guitarist with the Joe Pass haircut? and the vibes player, who is he? Anybody. Thanks
When you see someone holding the guitar in this position, you know he's a badass!
Merry Xmas, Joe
A bit more precise informations would be nice. When was it?
THE BEST the best my teacher the United States of video lessons god have him in glory great person friend and a great musician I will always remember you in my heart joe you are and you will always be the best
can someone explain what happened at 9:55 or so? Did his pick get too dry so he had to wet it down?? This is trippin me out
Marvelous!
is that young Scofield in the glasses 3 minutes 40 seconds?
I want to have the names and adresses of the 11 dumb down, they will never sleep well again.
