[bruce68]

I don't understand every thing but it seems to be interesting!

[bruce68]

@freemandreamer sure!! Bireli told about him he is impressed by him

[pepakake27]

very intelligent statements

[closetome]

[potatoepeter1]

Pat Martino, an absolut, thanks mister Pat.

[CRegalis]

Pat Martino is a Philadelphia musician. Earlier in his life he had hideous medical problems, including brain surgery and had to learn to play (and live) all over again. He's a musical treasure, and a walking miracle.

[pepakake27]

@CRegalis do you know more about that? did he lose everything and had to learn everything again?

[jppjazz]

Merci pour ta musique Pat! Quel beau jazz!

[meirrose]

Yeah! The guitar is some toy! A toy that has no end of mastering. Thank you so much for posting. Pat is one of the greatest guitarists/musicians that ever lived.

[jazzand]

Having listened to Pat for 30 years, met him on numerous occasions and been to his house a couple of times, I can tell you that as well as being one of the best jazz guitarists in the world, he's an amazing human being. Extremely intelligent and also very humble.  You come away from a meeting with Pat knowing that you've been in the presence of somebody very special.

[Kraeezeu]

such an inspiration as a musician and how he talks about music and his experiences...just so intelligent and logical

[pandafuryface]

"I listened over and over, and I trascribed them by memory, and it helps that I am what you earthings call........ an Alien......I come from the Jazzica system on planet guitaron. There I am simply called "Squweep"......you may ask another question now"

[kingofskateop]

He is relearned to play guitar all over again after his brain surgery... But I want to know that how he learned it within a very short time...

[kevinjohnmorris]

'We have a lot to learn from old people..' We old people are just a little further along the path of life than you are. We tend not to think of ourselves as old. I've looked up to Pat Martino for many years. He is a wonderful player- largely self taught

[etherealstill]

@kevinjohnmorris

Yeah, this isn't "an old guy." This is a master guitarist. You have a lot to learn from him for THAT reason.

[oldsyphilitic]

@etherealstill I think you may have missed my point. As I remember, someone was describing Pat Martino as an old guy. Frankly, to an eighteen year old he is an old guy as am I but as you quite rightly say he is a master and when we deal with mastery of an instrument, age generally is irrelevant. That said, there is a tendency to denigrate age in our society, largely by people who are far too young to have developed much wisdom. I saw Tal play not long before he died and it was wonderful

[Wongywong]

Makes a very important point about learnignthrough listening rather than tab. I think that that can be the difference between a very good guitar player, essentially like a typist, and someone who internalises the music such that he is able to bring it out as part of himself. Not really rocket science. Just superior encoding.

[Wongywong]

A really humble guy. Offered to teach me! I have met a lot of "starts" and not got nervous. But when i queued to meet him I was almost in a state of hysteria....like a schoolgirl about to see the Beatles in the 60's.

[ZQUIDGE]

He's so brilliant....i need a shower now.

[raggityman]

HA!!! Great comment!!!

[jazzuffe]

Fantastic!!!

[playgtrcouk]

Great stuff, Pat is not only a great musician but a great thinker

[potatoepeter1]

Pat bringt´s absolut

[SIRONEDRAGON]

Many thanks for this interview with Pat .. Awesome !!

[buckleyboy666]

The more i was exposed to consonance, a pure and clean melody,

the more dissonant it became because i became bored of it,

over familiar.

I also noticed that the more dissonance i heard and

i was exposed to, the more consonant it became,

my ears began to hear more about it.

As i stepped back objectively and looked at them simultaneously,

i started to realise that consonance and dissonance

were one and the same, as an illusion.

Amen :)

[johnnyjolijt]

It's like modern poetry isn't it?

Beautiful...

[potatoepeter1]

aaahh ja, very very very good information.. absolut

[gtarluva]

Wow. Magic! This guy is great! A philosopher/muso!

[richfire999]

[NotYourTypicalNegro]

I've seen Pat Martino play twice...awesome player and beautiful and humble human being.
