[telebanger2]

[woodbell67]

VERY HELPFUL !!!

Thank you friend

[satanycan9]

great .... I love this ....

[ericrob2112]

souds like rythm changes Bb

[RootsinBrooklyn]

Very nicely played. Great tone, time, feel. Splendid. (Joe'd be proud).

[AndreiDice]

Is this modern blues or jazz??

[bleakanddivine]

@AndreiDice 'Modern Blues' is one of the names for a particular type of chord progression in jazz. Also known as 'Parker Blues' It's a basic 12 bar blues progression spiced up at every turn with substitutions and alterations.

[voxosoxo]

great stuff an inspiration to players to get jazzy................

[Dalsia]

I love all of your videos. They're informative and I enjoy listening to your playing.

[cj1982]

Even though is is just an exercise you can tell its Joe Pass's guitar lines...nice playing! I recommend you transcribe his version of "You Stepped Out of a Dream" with Milt Jackson... that has so many great lines in it too! I'm working on that one myself, its really hard!

[SirCorn]

Hey, this sounds really good! My only comment at the moment is that you should try playing with the same conviction as Joe Pass (difficult, I know). It sounds a little too obvious that this is a transcription of his solo, but thats ok. Good work!

[islandrocks]

Very good man, nice playing

[navazguitar]

nice playing... The Pass books are very helpful.

[agmoose]

This is so clearly NOT Joe Pass playing.

[bleakanddivine]

Wow, nothing much gets past you does it!

[bleakanddivine]

...except the info box about this clip, obviously.

[agmoose]

I don't know what you mean by "info box." All I know is that the clip is labeled "Joe Pass-Modern Blues." It would be nice if such covers were labeled as such.

[marcsiegelmusic]

They are from the Joe Pass Guitar Method- exercises that Joe wrote in his book, and played very well. To Bleak and Divine Thanks for the posting of this video and good work!

[poepneukerobotjes]

@agmoose

are you retarded

[pedrohgromero1]

@agmoose I believe he didn´t mean to fool us, is just something tha joe pass used to play

[USPSAman]

@agmoose LMAO the name of the guitar is an epiphone joe pass

[bleakanddivine]

@USPSAman No. It's a Gibson ES175. Joe Pass wrote the exercise!

[pamirs94]

Fantastic. I have the tabs for it.

[Batman001]

oo

If you still have them, can you send them to me?

[joe4jazz]

Very nice work. You've got the notes comfortable under you fingers and play with a nice feel. Keep it up.

[gtrs4life]

I have that book on the music stand. I bought it some 20 years ago and still haven't cracked it. Perhaps it is time. Joe Pass is great. I love the Montreaux Jazz Fest recording.

[UsernameSoAvailable]

very nice playing. it sounds very scale oriented. try more skips and less steps.

[jdrichard01]

Really nice :)

[Westy196740]

I want to learn how to link up the chord changes when playing the single lines. I bet even if you had no music you could hear those changes clearly, ANYONE HELP?

:-)

[bleakanddivine]

The standard approach is to concentrate on the important notes in each chord as it passes. Look for lessons on chord tones, guide tones and arpeggios. Jonathan

[colonnaf]

yea i think i could. Start with bass line with metronome, beats on the second and fourth. Just practising and things will come.

[bluesman5931]

great !!!

[mrbarber76]

Classic jazz at it's best.

[Gminor7]

It is the same general chord progression, "Confirmation", often called the "Bird blues". It basically came from Charlie Parker adding different harmonies (II-V's) to blues, until this was arrived at.

[altosaxbeboper09]

very simlar to bird blues

[utubesucks2003]

I might as well be looking at greek, I love the music though !

[123billp]

Thanks for playing this. Particularly, adding the chords. That really helps.

P.S. I love the guitar - Nice sound

[CherylG300]

Nice playing and great tone you're getting there on that 175!

[improvisations]

awesome! this is very helpful.

[boschHamburg]

That is very nice. Is that guitar really an old ES-175 with P-90's (built before 1957)?

[bleakanddivine]

Yes indeed, 1954 - P90s, wooden bridge, pre-jumbo frets.

[voldox55]

With chords changes!!! very original!

Thanks for sharing

[voldox55]

Unbelievable! At last! Here someone who really wants to help other Guitar Players! You are very GENEROUS!

Thank you very much!
