The world truly lost a musical giant. Hopefully wherever his soul ended up, his music thrives. We have the recordings and memories.

Great to see this 4 days after his unfortunate passing. RIP to one of the absolute greatest guitarists ever.

RIP beautiful angel

I picked up my Pat Martino from fedex today and it is fantastic! Nice and light, it feels great to play. Unbelievable that I have a guitar that Pat designed and setup exactly like Pat’s! I feel so lucky to have watched him play live at the Iridium,and spoke with him a few minutes between sets. I’ll never forget!

I’ve had my Benedetto Pat Martino model for almost a year now and love it so much. It sounds great on gigs and in the studio absolute beauty. Enjoy your Benedetto!!

The second tune is called “Inside” & originally appeared on the Creative Force VHS as part of his performance of “Both Sides Now” by Joni Mitchell.

Your Absolutely right.

Wonderful sound and feel for the instrument.

From 2018, the last year he could still play.

Pat's right hand was so fluent! Rest in peace Maestro....

we miss him so terribly .... RIP Pat...

As nice a man as he was a brilliant guitarist. Went over to him after a set at Jazz Standard 2016. Just hung at the bar- and talked gear and music for quite some time. So generous of him. Memorized so many of his solos. Ty for uploading.

At the end “Would you mind playing one more?” Pat: Uhhh, I would rather not. Lol

What a gorgeous soft gentle sound .. sorta dark & subtle .. hafta say just quietly how frail he sounded & I know there weren’t many more public appearances left in him .. dang, he reminds me of my departed Dad .. can’t quite put my finger on it .. well, rest easy now Pat .. hero 2 so many of us.

God Bless you Pat 🌱🙏

The best!A genius and very humble man!

The google knew we were longing for this…amazing…❤️❤️❤️🎶🎼🍻

I miss him. Was fortunate enough to see him live in a jazzclub, sitting second row. He played that montgomery cd he made. He started out playing complete wes solos and than doing his own thing, one of the greats!

lovely, relaxed minutes with pat.. beautiful background of awesome guitars.. I started transcribing pat in 1970.. so every minute with him is cherished, thank you.. 🎸😎

I was at Pat's gig in London a few weeks ago. He is amazing and the drummers solos were great.

I enjoyed this!

Wonderful!

I have one of these guitars, and it is amazing. Mr. Martino’s string gauge is a little thick for me, and I was a little worried about putting my gauge on it and having to mess with the entire setup. But nope, even the intonation remained perfect, and I do mean perfect. The tone, sustain and clarity in these guitars are in a league of their own!

THE NAME-PAT MARTINO- WHEN THOUGHT OR SPOKEN ,CONJURES NOT ONLY A GUITAR PLAYER BUT ALSO A SONIC DEDICATION THAT IS NOT ONLY UNIQUE ,BUT ALSO TRANSCENDENT. THANKS TO -BENEDETTO GUITARS- FOR THE VIDEO AND ALSO BEAUTIFUL GUITARS HAPPY 50TH.ANNIVERSARY I HOPE YOU HAVE MANY MORE. THAT SECOND TUNE REALLY PULLED THE TEARS RIP PAT MARTINO.

Thanks to @Howard Paul for a wonderful tour of the Benedetto Guitar workshop over this past 2018 Christmas/New Year break! My family and I have a new found interest in jazz and the beautiful Benedetto guitar luthiers and the masterpieces they create. Oh, and Howard, thanks for the wonderful opportunity to watch you and your quartet at Good Times Jazz Bar & Restaurant! The musical conversation was the highlight of our vacation in Savannah!

The Goat ,period end of story .

Pat's awesome!

Rest in swing Pat ✨

What? 15 on the high E! OMG! Now I understand where some of that thick tone comes from. Those necks must be super rigid to take that kind of tension without bowing.

Don't forget that in Pat's style of Jazz, String bending isn't really very common. So he can play with strings that heavy and get that tone as he wasn't ever doing SRV style bends and vibrato.

Maestro.

El hombre!

Pat was brilliant

Great Talent

WISH THEY HAD MIC'D PAT UP.

Just super! Pat sounds fantastic, even on webcast. I love him saying, “...what can I say, it’s my favourite toy.” What amp was Pat playing through?

I’d love to know what that second tune was - really beautiful. Thanks for putting this interview together. I also agree with another commenter that in the future it would be nice to have the artist miced - with the volume difference between the interviewer and Pat it is hard to hear what he is saying sometimes, although it might just be my ears.

This was a live feed done for Facebook. We didn't expect Pat to be able to make it by the shop during his visit to Savannah for our 50th Anniversary Concert in conjunction with the Savannah Music Festival, so this was done "on the fly."
