Joe Pass – Guitar Improvisation
The late great Joe Pass is a perfect example of someone that has mastered improvisation on the guitar. Although he didn’t play straight acoustic guitar, he was a master of the semi-acoustic, what’s a few different shaped sound holes amongst friends anyway. I first bought the Joe Pass guitar books over 30 years ago now. What is really important to recognise is that we don’t necessarily play the same style as a person/guitarist but they can still inspire us, give us a new resource to draw from and help us to develop as guitar players.
The tune is “All the Things You Are”.
Some people are intimidated by great players. But I find all good players inspring, regardless of style because they show us a potential that we may not have ever considered.
