Joe Pass - Joe's Blues download song

One of the best musician of 20th century

damnit! and i was just patting myself on the back for learning a Motley Crue song....

Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, Tal Farlow, Barney Kessel, Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Herb Ellis, Johnny Smith, George Benson are a few. And of course Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian are progenitors.

What's up with these long footsie shots? Was this directed by Quentin Tarantino?

when someone plays like that who care s dislike?  thank you so much sir Joe to make us all play better

I might as well quit playing right now.

This is simply one of the best guitarists ever. Remember when I first watched him on TV during an Ella F. concert. She introduced him as an "old friend" and leaved him alone for 2 or 3 pieces. I couldn´t believe it! Playing a bass line, off beat chords and a REAL solo on top at the same time! It what horrible (I am a classical trained guitar player!). From this day on I love him!

the criticism seems to come from people who A: do not play themselves, B: take Cheap shots, and C: simply cannot grasp what it's like to improvise at this speed with NO backup band. Let's see YOU do it, and we'll take a whack at YOUR videos.

This guy never ceases to amaze me, and he is not even alive! He has such a small bag of "tricks" and manages so well, as I roam and study every musician I can, even folk like Bill Evans but this guy just cruises and there are no low points of his playing at least none that I can find so far. And not just solo, or as a sideman, or as a duet, just all around goodness. Mr Joe Pass, man I wish there were more Virtuoso albums!

The hands please, oh, too late - Joe's left the house - forever. I presented Joe in Atlanta, February 1982, One man, one chair, one amp, no house sound, 700 seat Peachtree Playhouse - He brought the house down two sets in a row. One of true jazz guitar greats of all time. Nice guy too - very humble!

Only just noticed, he begins playing using right hand fingers and then at 2:56 he pulls a plectrum from his mouth (while hammering on some chords) and finishes the piece using the pick.

Shoe comment guys, Every one from Chet Atkins on, Joe Pass included taught that the song started and hung in there based on the movement of your feet. By Watching the top guitarist's feet you can tell the rhythm and timing that they are hearing in the tune. It's like watching the drummer who isn't there. Compare this to simply tapping your foot, Joe is playing with different rhythms from both feet. It ain't about a shoe fetish! Big Ron

I don't understand how can some people be such fools criticizing such a wonderful performance. Joe Pass is a guitar genius and a brilliant musician. Period. The fact that he makes mistakes and misses some notes reminds us that he is human and not some kind of robot. Making mistakes is HUMAN and it's easier to make them playing in this context and at this tempo.
