Well done
Thank you! Hope it helps you out!
Yes, yes. More of this please.
Noted! Thanks for watching!
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.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for your kind words
dope lesson, block chords on guitar have such a beautiful sound
Appreciate it! and maybe I'm biased but yes I agree :)
Great, thank you! :)
Thanks for watching!
Man, you really do a great analysis! 🎸
Hey, thanks! Appreciate you watching!
Definitely dig this stuff! Would like more if possible 😁
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Thank you for the super!!! Very much appreciate that
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 👏 👍
Yes, defiantly a good technique to use on dominant chords! I actually just did a Wes Block chord lesson that uses that!
Greatest lesson since long time
Thanks!
Bravo!
Thanks for watching :)
Really good jazz tutorials
Thank you!
Thank you very much, this was the right lesson at the right time for me. I was able to grasp a new concept instantly. Much appreciated.
PS my favourite minor blues - Grant Green’s ‘Baby’s Minor Lope’. I’d be interested in your thoughts.
Thank you! Also yes, amazing grant green tune! He uses a lot of the same concepts on his solo that he applies on "Train' Tracy." I did a video breaking down those if you're interested! czcams.com/video/RLB-BRSTK8A/video.html
More Joe Pass, please!!! He is the Shakespeare of jazz guitar. All others are based off of him!
Noted! Thanks for watching :) Joe Pass is the man!
Ha, I love that - "Shakespeare of jazz guitar" 🙂
Eddie Lang ,Charlie Christian ,Oscar Moore,Django Johnny Smith ,Billy Bauer,T bone walker,Les Paul ,Roy Smeck-all established long before Pass
Great video ,,,, you are on fire ,,,,,
Appreciate that! Just trying to make the best videos I can!
Excellent. As a long time guitar player now trying to learn solo (cheap restaurant guys!), this was excellent (at least for me, among your best).. Keep it up!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for your support :)
Awesome lesson, Nathan! 🤘
Hey Chase, really appreciate that man! I love your new series with all those guitarists, amazing stuff!!!
@@NathanBortonMusic Thanks man! Glad you're digging it 🙏 Organizing that with everyone has taken up so much of my bandwidth, but let's reconnect on that collab idea soon! 🤘
I would love that! and no worries, I figured that would be a lot of work! Looking forward to it
Excellent stuff
Appreciate you watching! Hope it helped you out!
What a great lesson! Thank you! How about an episode about Joe Pass chords on secondary dominant progressions?
Great suggestion!
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your support!
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.
Thanks Tristan, yes for sure! Love the quartel voicings, and especially with the blues. Great points!
Um tempo atrás, comecei a estudar um chord melody num canal de transcrições.Nao lembro qual era a música mas fiquei maravilhado, como Joe expandia e criava coisas legais até com acordes maiores perfeitos.Obrigado e por favor continue!
Thanks for checking out the video and best of luck on your jazz journey!
Triad pairs? Would be a great lesson, Much as gracious, I love the lessons you teach, God Bless you're giving heart Nathan,
Thanks for the kind words! I actually did a video on triad pairs a longggg time ago, but some of the information is still good. I could defiantly do an updated video on the topic! czcams.com/video/0UkXvZayrsM/video.html
Rare and valuable content!
Appreciate that Chuck! Thanks for watching!
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 ?
I just joined!
Thanks Tina! Really appreciate that :)
@@NathanBortonMusic I appreciate you. You are a Fine fine guitarist and educator. Thank you! 💕🎶
Thanks for sharing Joe Pass chord secrets of harmonizing every notes that can be played under inner voice chord movements to sound like a piano player
I just showed you how to harmonize the blues scale and use call and response. What you said made me confused haha appreciate you watching
Thanks for the harmonize blues scales call and response playing techniques
Excellent
Appreciate it Doug, hope the lesson helped you!
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.
Jim hall is so great! Keep a look out in the near future for a Jim lesson chordal lesson 👀
Thanks @nathanborton please do more Joe Pass/Barry Harris Passing Chord videos please, thank you
Thanks for letting me know! If you check out my latest video on Wes's version of block chords you might like that as well? czcams.com/video/EsUXabLSpAM/video.html
Hey!!!
I truly appreciate you sharing these techniques with me. I like the way you play and teach. You are a very smooth clean guitar player. That's what I am working toward. What type of guitar and amp are you playing, and what type of strap are you using with your guitar? Your strap looks comfortable.
Thanks so much! I'm using a Benedetto Bravo Deluxe and actually not using an amp, just DI into a pre-amp (golden age mkiii) and reverb!
Nice lesson. Would like to see walking bass on guitar of mose Allison's foolin myself in C like Tim Lerch plays it. Or a generic version of the chord progression. Thanks in advance if you do it.
Great lesson! One question. Why do you call that chord at 6:03 a G7?
Yes, I label it G7, as it’s a sub for G7. The actual chord itself is not important but rather where it is going. This is explained more in the lesson around that spot. Thanks! 😊
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..👍👍
Great suggestion, I didn't even think about that. I will look into chord diagrams for future use.
Thank you for the quick reply. Great customer service. Another suggestion that might help as well for the close ups on the guitar playing a guitar with dot markers.. Other than that you a great teacher. Keep up the good work. I have gotten a lot out of your lessons..👍👍
One last suggestion when showing the chord patterns maybe do it 1/2 speed and repeat it much easier to see.
Ok, thanks! I'll see if I can figure out some ways to do something like that.
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 :)
Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate that!
Where can I purchase the same or similar guitar strap?
would it be possible to construct this 2-5 chords over a major, minor or dominant scale?
Yes! However, the concept blues chord concept is designed to be played over really any chord in the major scale. So it could work over the ii and the V chords!
👌🏼
Appreciate it!
I loved this lesson. Do you have any more "play scales as chords" videos?
Check out the video coming up this Friday :)
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.
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.
More of the solo/ trio guitar info would be great.😅😂
Thanks for the comment! Noted!
Nice haircut!
As I practice this harmonization lines from Rhapsody in Blue keep jumping out.
great point!
U have patreon but guitar pro ???
At the moment I don’t have a dedicated guitar pro format on patreon, however, I’m looking into getting at. I currently have music xml files which can be imported into guitar pro (or any notation software). You can find PDF’s there too! i have gotten a couple requests for that format before, so it’s definitely something I’m looking into. Thanks for your comment.
So you are saying you can use this Blues chord lick over 2 5 1 in CMaj... when I try it something isn't right...lol
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.
Actually the person I think of when I think about guitar playing that sounds like a piano is Lenny Breau.
Yes! 100 percent. However, I’m not as skilled with Lenny’s style as Joe’s. Future lesson perhaps? Thanks for watching!
Who cares?! Not in Rolling Stones list. Stayed outside sitting next to Benson. Nice lesson btw.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it
2 adverts every 2 minutes. Ridiculous
Hi Elijah, sorry that is annoying :/ however the money from those adds really does help me maintain a standard of living. I you appreciate watching the videos and if you need it, all the materials for this lesson can be downloaded on my patreon which you can use add free!
