it also could be that drug users are people with addictive personalities.. i.e. they get addicted to many things, and their music addiction, consisting of playing 13 hours a day (Charlie Parker used to this) has made them great
@geetar76 Really? I respectfully disagree. I'm not advocating drug use, but, clearly, some of the most influential and innovative music of the twentieth century came from drug users. For many people, mind altering substances enables you to think in a less structured, more unconventional way. This has obvious benefits when performing jazz. Do you honestly believe that Joe Pass, Jimi Hendrix, and Charlie Parker would have made the same music without drugs in their lives?
@bradeddy just so you know,Joe Pass only archieved success after going out from the rehab center..and noe one wanted to play with Parker because he wasn't reliable.. Miles Davis too did have his problems until he decided to kick the habit, and just after that we have Birth of the Cool,Kind of Blue,Relaxin',Steamin',Workin' and Cookin' which are some of the greatest albums ever.Drugs make you crazy,those guys were great because they had talent, the drugs only killed them earlier than they should
@sylviinho Wow, thanks for the education. I guess it's just coincidence, after coincidence, after coincidence that every great jazz musician we can think of used drugs at some point. What about guitarists in other genres? What about novelists and painters? I know everyone wants to push the hardline DARE line that drugs are always bad, bad news, but do you really think Jimmy Hendrix would have been burning guitars and writing ground breaking music without mind altering substances?
@bradeddy the sad thing is that we will never know about it... but I still mean that geniuses are geniuses, with or without drugs.. if you want to try drugs and see if you become a brilliant player, it's up to you, but personally I think that when you open up your mind and listen to what "your heart" wants, that's when you start to create art.. as a jazz musician myself I know that good music comes from the inside, but first you have to practice.. so stop arguing and start reciting! :P
@sylviinho I agree with that. I didn't mean to imply that any drug will turn any person into Hunter S Thompson or Lord Byron or Hendrix or Pass. I do think that street substances can sometimes coax genius from within some people who're also willing to work hard. But I agree that legal or illegal substances are not some magic creativity pill. But, for a select few, I think it does help. I guess I've been reading too many biographies and autobiographies lately that argue this point.
Ol' Joe seems like a regular guy. Breaking chords down into major, minor, and dominant is the best advice any one has ever given me in my entire life. I totally get it. Joe, wherever you are,I thank you from the bottom of my heart, sir. I've been struggling with jazz for years, and this blew the door wide open! WOW! 1000x!
@Fitzliputzli23 Hey,I just ordered some JP tutor books online, though apparently he doesn't even write in chord-names a lot of the time and it's all written in standard music notation, no Tabs! Personally I never learned to use Tabs but my advice to you, if you want to learn Jazz and progress musically, is to learn to read music. I'd been playing guitar for 30 years before I learned but when I did get it together it changed my life, SO useful to be able to lift a melody off the page,Really..Px)
Yea, lifting a melody off the page of standard notation is no problem for me. But when it comes to chords with four or more voices it takes me a longer time figuring them out than from tabs. Especially when it comes to accidentals I think standard notes are a little cumbersome. I am annoyed by the preferential treatment of the C-ionian scale in standard notation. This makes sense with a keyboard but it doesn't with any other instrument.
@karimstoner No, he's clean but i don't think he ever recovered fully from his heroin addiction and it left him slurring at times. I met him once in 1977 and i can honestly say i've never met a finer gentleman.
Comparing players like Joe Pass to Yngwie and other shred guys is stupid. The roll of guitar in rock and in jazz is totally different. Youd be better off comparing Joe Pass to Oscar Peterson or some other piano player- at least then they would have something in common. Most of all just enjoy the music for what it is. Thats what any good musician wants.
who are we kidding my friends ? no matter how much jazz musicians bitch and whine , you're forever going to play 1000 chords for 3 people in the audience while rockstars and metal guitarists like yngwie can have 1 million viewers for 3 chords hahah
feel proud of that. feel proud that in the society we live in, someone who's 20 times more educated and more skilled than someone else makes less money, is less known, and gets shat on by people like you.
@therocksolicitor Why limit yourself? Why not challenge yourself and learn some jazz anyway? I'm a rock player, but I spend 90% of my time practicing Jazz. As much as I love playing rock guitar, it can start to feel limiting after a while, even working on Steve Vai tunes. You'll only get better by learning jazz guitar.
@MrKdowns you're right,i used to be in a death metal band,but it gets boring very quick,classical and jazz guitar is great when your playin alone,there is an interview on yt with Joe Satriani where he talks about his jazz lessons he took in the seventies,and he is a god of rock.
@therocksolicitor who cares about the audience, its all about the music dude.
And the reason why pople like Yngwie have bigger audience is because their music is just more accesible (annother word for saying that their music is just easier and most people don't understand music or can't tell what is good music from the technical and theoretical point of view)

@mcduffiesteven 1st of all Joe was a heroin addict not drunk, 2nd of all Yngwie is all time drunk. 3rd of all WHERE DOES NEOCLASSICAL METAL STUCK IN A JAZZ GUITAR LESSON VIDEO??? 4th your a classic piece of youtube troll, go somewhere lonely and die and make us a favor you thumbs up attention whore.
@mcduffiesteven To be fair, I think Joe could play better drunk than Joe could sober. For those of you who haven't, look at his bio sometime. He might look clean cut and avuncular, but the man struggled with multiple addictions most of his adult life. I imagine that those mind altering substances had something to do with the amazing, innovative music he created.
@hydenwings It's improvised but it's being improvised based on a very common progression. Just because it's improvised doesn't mean that it couldn't be learn note for note, though. Just use your ears (primarily) and eyes (secondarily) and at first, a lot of time. This is better than reading a transcription because you can learn learn and play transcribed music without actually understanding it. Whereas, to learn it by ear is to fully understand it even if you lack the theoretical vocabulary.
@geoffstockton True, I tend to think of theory as training wheels to use while I waited for my ears to develop and my muscle memory to kick in. It is good to spend time thinking theory through for a good foundation. In time you stop thinking about the rules and start playing what's in your head.
@hydenwings (continued) this understanding, (be it verbal or otherwise) is what allows you to improvise within any particular musical language. The lack of this understanding is why you have musicians who can play transcribed music beautifully but can't make anything up of nearly equal musical value. Study chord/scale theory to the fullest because it'll open your ears up to a lot of sounds that you'll come to immediately recognize. This speeds up the process of developing a really strong ear.
THANK YOU UNCLE JOE, FOR BEING AWESOME.
