This was my first ever guitar video. Ever since, Pat has been my favourite jazz guitarist. A true master and legend. RIP Mr Martino.

Mr. Pat Martino -- one and only

Pat is up there with the cream of the crop greatest guitatist in the world. He was my personal favorite jazz guiatist.👍

Here’s Pat Martino’s “Symmetrical Parental Forms”. - There are two chords that are easy to form on the guitar because of their symmetrical structure (on just this instrument in standard tuning): the 3-note Augmented triad, and the 4-note Diminished 7th chord. - If you lower any one of the notes in any Augmented triad, you’ll get a Major triad, and if instead you raise any one of those notes then you’ll get a Minor triad (the relative minor!). So that one Augmented triad yields 6 other chords. - If you lower any one of the notes in any Diminished 7th chord then you’ll get a Dominant 7th chord; if instead you raise any one of those notes then you’ll get a Half-Diminished 7th chord (Minor 7b5). (Those 2 chords will be the V7 and vii-Half-Diminished from the same key.) So that one Diminished 7th chord yields 8 other chords. That’s Pat’s “Symmetrical Parental Forms” in a nutshell. - May Pat rest in peace.

Pat was a genius and a philosopher, and totally incomprenensible as a teacher. But as a musician, he spoke from his heart right to the heart of the listener. ❤❤❤

RIP. Genius

1. total mofo on the guitar and can explain what he's doing so just about anyone can understand it. 2. Snappy dresser. Sweater is badass.
