I believe the Jaguar has the same rhythm circuit as the Jazzmaster.

With a Jaguar and without mustache, still the jazz master!

One summer back in the 1970s, Joe Pass came to Boston with Ella Fitzgerald for some gigs so he visited Berklee music school for a guitar seminar. He asked a room full of guitar students to pick any jazz standard and any key, and he showed how he can play any tune he knew in any key. He seemed to be able to play thousands of songs from memory in any key. Joe Pass was a genius level accompanist and soloist.

With students surrounding him in awe, they’d ask him HOW Do YOU DO IT? He pop his dentures out and say “Drink your liquor from an old fruit jar!”

That sounds like a very effective way of mastering jazz on any instrument. I watched an interview with Michael Brecker and he also practiced that way of playing songs and lines in all keys

I really like Joe Pass, but I've never seen him play like that! elegance and virtuosity.

Thanks again, Sharp Eleven! These lines are harder to play than typical heavy metal shredding. Much more melodic, much more syncopated. Improvised, not a showcase solo devised to impress rubes. The typical shredder figures out what's easy to play fast, then drills that stuff until it's REALLY fast, then strings a bunch memorized licks into a solo.

My late wife was a virtuoso classical pianist and ballerina. She learned jazz from me. Took her to Sarah Vaughan at the Blue Note in The Village. Joe was backing her. 🤯

Joe looked old when he was young. Incredible.

Well heroin will do that to you.

Holly mother of the universe! That's transcendent. Thanks for posting!

Reminds me of something Steve Vai said to an interviewer in, I think, the early 90s; you can learn all the technique and fast scales, arpeggios, chords etc in the world, then sit down with a jazz player and he'll bury you!😮

Such a statement is stupid because it is so obvious ! No need to be Steve Vai to talk about obvious things. Music students have been fooled by this scale stuff. I know what i am talking about and can explain and teach chord scale theory. It is simple and will never make anyone play, it is like saying : "Learn the alphabet and become a writer or poet".

@@anneonym7346 your alphabet analogy is a good one, but I think you’re missing Steve’s point (if he in fact ever said this). The point is… These tools don’t teach you harmony, and that’s what’s required to navigate the chord changes associated with Jazz standards. it’s neither stupid, nor obvious unless you actually try to play songs from this repertoire, And in this context, yeah, a real jazz player will most certainly bury you! That being said, Joe couldn’t play Tender Surrender either.

Great phrasing, timing, great lines and swing. he was great from early stage !

I got to see him as a duo with Oscar Peterson Royal Albert Hall UK It was one of the best concert I have ever been in my life

I remember when I was a kid (late 1960s) and seeing "Joe Pass is a gas!" in Downbeat Magazine.

Joe on a Jaguar with looks like a cream piggy back Fender amp . It ain't the bus , it's the bus driver .

So good!

no one can fault that tone.

Good to see thank you!

Yes!

❤️ Joe

What a great tone and of course out of the world playing as always with this genius. And he proved that you don't need a hollow body guitar with humbuckers to get a jazz tone. The most important thing to get a jazz tone is to use the neck pickup of ANY electric guitar with FLATWOUND strings using a heavy gauge (preferably 12s or 13s or even 14s). With those settings you can sound jazzy even with a crapy Silvertone 1449 guitar

When I started out in college, studying jazz, I had a Squire Jagmaster. That guitar was like a stripped down jazz master with humbuckers instead of p90s. I upgraded the pickups Seymour Duncan, a jazz pickup in the neck and pearly gates in the bridge (I was also in a punk band from Texas). It also had a tremolo, and I wanted to use heavier flat wound strings for jazz, so my older brother helped me stop the tremolo movement with stacks of nickels taped together with electrical tape. It was a really good sounding guitar for jazz, but unfortunately the body couldn’t handle the tension and it started to crack near the bridge because the posts were getting pulled out.

Ed Bickert played Telecasters, most often with a neck position humbucker, but not always. I read somewhere where his guitar tech guy in Toronto would set his guitars up with stock .010’s. Pat Martino used to set up his solid body guitars with heavy gauge round wounds, but considering Ed Bickert’s setup, it’s clearly in the player’s hands. Ted Nugent played rock and roll on a Byrdland.

@@namebrandmason Yes, you are correct. It’s also worthy to note, that his protégé, Tim Lerch is also a Tele guy. I am not sure about Ted, but I know that Tim uses .012’s. My point about Ed Bickert, and light rock and roll gauge strings, is that he played in the traditional way with a pick, just like all of the hollow body guys of that era, and he sounded just as big and warm. Mike Stern played a Tele as well before going with the Pacifica.

Wow just wow…..masterful,musical,marvelous,

Every time I hear Matteo Mancuso play I hear Joe Pass.

Joe Pass was THE proto Benson & Martino. A pure jazz shredder!

I was just watching this the other day ! lol

He could burn on a Jaguar and burn with Oscar Peterson. The guy was great. Tremendous talent.

My favourite guitarist is Tony Iommi, apparently greatly influenced by Joe Pass and Django Reinhardt.

Looks like he was using jazz light gauge 16-60 😆

Some people.

I think he was 26 years old when this was recorded.

Can you transcribe the alto solo on give it one during the maynard ferguson tribute concert its played by mike dubaniewicz

Is that Mk.gee?

No- the Jazzmaster turned a Jaguar into an ES 335… 😂

And a natty dresser to boot!

Cool! 1:11 is the lick that Pat Martino holds for almost a minute in one of his live performances. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHV1lbufnK_bmps.html p.s. Youngest I've ever see Mr. Pass

Joe could shred on a block of wood lol

Clearly proves it's not the instrument, it's the player. Joe Pass could've shredded on a plastic ukulele from the toy section at Walmart. It comes from the mind, the heart, the soul and the fingers. NOT the instrument.....

I got copyright takedown for Joe Pass. Some lame jazz channel. People act like they own a Joe Pass solo.

The least jangly Jaguar

Iirc, this wasn’t his guitar. It belonged to Synanon. He borrowed it when he started gigging again towards the end of his stay. Eventually someone saw him playing jazz on a Fender and gave Pass what would become his signature 175.
