Of course Joe Pass is not your usual guitarist but uses
the sax patterns, the subtle uses for inuendos of chordal
triads, stacked of course, chordal substitutes -- Joe was
a master of continuity of soloing and his finer transcribed
lines (no mistakes here too I've found, I made sure he's
very well-transcribed) are impeccable exercises to get
your fingerings moving right to what you finally want to
use for improvisation -- the connections between the
hands and ears can be easily made with these
transcribed Joe Pass solos.
For the ultimate in Jazz Improv, be sure to get the Jazz
Improv Soloing DVD Course which shows all these on
guitar, and especially good for bassists too, as much
reference is made to the lower strings (bass strings) and
is easy to understand, having the chords separated in
their categories, but also a chapter on how to "anticipate
chord changes", and connect the dots. Music is in both
the treble clef (for guitar and other lead instruments) and
bass clef for bassists and trombone.
