Pat's solo on Cisco is one of my favourite solos of all time. Pat swings so hard.

pat, a legend. RIP

I transcribed the first solo on Just Friends last year, it's crazy how good it sounds even at 50% speed. His phrasing is insane!

Seen him live twice, a true inspiration. Also, happened to meet him in Italy, he was just causally walking down the street. Stopped him for a chat, so cool. There's a great documentary on KZfaq about his recovery and rehabilitation from his brain aneurysm. He had a unique sound, unforgettable phrasing and an original approach to music. A true great.

As a guitarist I absolutely agree that the piano will change the way you look at music and harmony I kinda wish I could go back and take the piano lessons my grandparents wanted me to take as a youngster

His timing and vocabulary was amazing.

Ok just found you. Just saw this. So a few yrs back. More than a few. So the city was having a street fair etc. Someone ran into apt. and said Pat Martino was sitting with his wife outside. I do not like to bother anyone. I went out saw him while the other guy shoved his cd into Pat’s hand. Pat was very polite. Meanwhile, I stood across the street land he eventually looked up at me across. I pointed to my guitar tshirt, gave him a thumbs up and a wave and he waved back. That was good enough for me. May he rip.

Learning guitar once is difficult enough!

Pat Martino was THE MAN!

Love Pat Martino.... excellent review, well done... no-one like Pat Martino !!! Thanks

One thing I miss is the era before KZfaq when I was a kid. When I used to find out about new (at least to me) and incredible guitar players from reading guitar magazines. I would go and buy their albums not knowing what to expect... There was a certain excitement to it.

Pat came from a unique musical community in South Phila. Closest to him was his dad, who was a musician himself. Dennis Sandole and Joe Sgro, 2 great guitar teachers, lived a few blocks from him. It's interesting to contemplate the effect that this passionate jazz community had on him.

Awesome choice. Love Pat Martino's concepts

thanks so much. my guitar hero. no one quite like him. hope to see more.

I got some amazing II, V, I licks from Pat that work everywhere and blow minds. Head turning stuff for sure.

Heck yea! Taking piano lessons was the best investment ever found it very relaxing!

That was a wonderful listen. I need to check out more Pat.

One of the best!

Thank you

Really appreciate your video's keep up the good work Levi 👍 ✊

Pat is so good because he plays a pass on changes then comes across a new event which brings us to a plateau where multiple other events can transpire

Those pedal tone licks on the high E string would even fit into a metal song.

ty for the chord inclusion

I’m gonna learn the fuck out of this, thanks man

If you like this, listen to Michael Sagmeister from Germany, he was a friend of Pat and keeps his spirit of phrasing alive.

love Pat Martino, and I still think he's a bit underrated foe some reason

I skipped his last performance in Boston and I deeply regret it.

Hey Levi, love the transcriptions! Is there any way you would consider adding another music roll showing the notes under the tabs (maybe smaller so it takes up less screen real estate)? It would be awesome to be able to visually see the lines / note choice under the chord progression (especially when I don't have a guitar handy). Of course I could just think about what fret / note is being played but... uh... I'm lazy!

Thanks Levi! Long time Pat fan. I first heard him on the Joyous Lake album around '76. Recently a live performance from that era has surfaced called San Francisco '77. I hightly recommend it. I heard it on apple music .For me thats when he was at the very top.

Leaning music, especially when a person loves music "is a Journey"? It's an adventurous journey with all kinds of twists and turns, that starts at the beginning and ends "at the end of the road"!? A lot of musicians start at the beginning, get a quarter of the way through, "then set up camp" and remain there, satisfied at how good it sounds there"! Some get half way, because they were curious at was "just around the corner"!! But the fact is, "there is No end of the road in music"? At the point where it seems to have come to end of the road, You're on your own, "off roading the rest of the journey"! "Off roading" is the most enjoyable part! It's so beautiful off the main highway, on your own beaten path!!

Please let me add a remark on Pat losing his ability to play the guitar and regaining it back. He did not lose it completely and had to relearn everything from scratch. Instead he lost the connection(!) to his knowledge and abilities and had to reestablish this connection again. This is how your brain works. Information is stored in many places connected to each other, and by chance a small defect at one place can shut the door to a whole array of knowledge. The good news is, that your brain is flexible and can build a new connection, reconnecting to a wealth of information that was not lost, but hidden. In the master's own words: "As I continued to work out things on the instrument, flashes of memory and muscle memory would gradually come flooding back to me - shapes on the fingerboard, different stairways to different rooms in the house." (Here and Now! The Autobiography of Pat Martino, page 79)

When you hit 70 yrs old you will feel just the same if Heath is ok.

Hey, Levi! This is unrelated to the video, but do you know how to turn on auto-scroll for GP8? I've tried finding it in the manual but can't find anything. I'm trying to get the bars to follow my cursor but they stay in the same place till they met the end of the screen when I'm zoomed in, if you have any tips or pointers I'd appreciate it!

"Learn to play the piano, man, and then you can figure out crazy solos of your own." -- Dizzy Gillespie to Miles Davis

70 isn't old in music. Benny Golson still sounds great at 90, Houston Person in his late 80s, etc. Good video, but the age thing makes you look a bit ill informed.

Obviously from careful practice of Yngwie solos.

He obviously sold himself..Duh!
