In this week's lesson I focus on Joe Pass' chord concepts that can transform your playing! We will talk about his blue chords that he using in-between his lines to make it sound like there are two guitar players playing at once! We will also talk about some inner voice chord movement concepts Joe uses that will add interest to your chords and expand what's possible with block chords.

Great tutorial, love those Joe Pass moving chords. I sometimes use a diminished moving chord shape in a blues, which I guess is really just acting as a dominant chord, one of Joe's things I gleaned along the way. Loving your channel, great work 👏 👍

This video compresses the knowledge Joe Pass is sharing in his first guitar lesson video in a great way. It provides quite a good approach for experienced guitarists. While the practical way how to play these lines and voicings is explained, the knowledge transfer of the theoretical background is taken into account and wasn't cut short - that all in about 10 minutes.

Awesome lesson nicely explained. Intercontinental is one of the greatest guitar trio albums IMO. Barney Kessel also used to harmonise the blues scale into chords, often quartel voicings. I bet Joe was familiar with those recordings.

Can’t have too much CHORD SOLO guitar. I first started listening to Joe Pass & Johnny Smith in 1975. I’ve always preferred the soloing in chords to single note lines. All of Jim Hall’s playing with Paul Desmond is a gold mine of soloing in chords.

Great lesson, I have wanted to incorporate chordal elements into my soloing for a long time. I tried these ideas out against a playalong and found it hard to use when there's a piano comping. Could you do a lesson about the same idea but how to make it work if you have a piano comping while you're soloing ?

Really nicely done. I taught for years and found the idea of language and vocabulary worked for me and many students. Though of course I think we all go through a period of going ‘oh look… there’s that Joe pass line I stole…again!’ But the other side of that is those lovely moments when you accidentally play something that sounds like you. For clarity I wasn’t teaching jazz, but it works for most forms. And for even more clarity I never managed it as elegantly as you teach it :)

Your lessons are great and I am fortunate as I read sheet music. Even for me for some of the chords I would have found it easier to also show the chord fingering diagram as well. If you could do that in the future I am sure it help others who don't read sheet music or tab..👍👍

Study your cords voices learn to hear them against different progressions.. joe worked in cords not scales as most jazz players do. Plus he got a chance to work out his ideas live every night. Nobody can teach you what he knows. Learn what he learned instead of learning his licks. Thats what he did.
@itsahsah 7 ай бұрын
In one of his final workshops, Joe jokes, that he makes mistakes all the time workshopping ideas live, and playing from what he feels. Funny enough, people copied his mistakes, when they tried to learn his licks, thinking they were intentional haha.

Yes, are you playing with a backing track that has piano? If the piano is playing different chord type it doesn't work. However if your playing duo, or trio, this technique works great! It can work with a piano if both players are listening to each other. It's the same thing as just playing C blues over a ii-V-I, it works but only with taste and listening.
