Some found the Joe Pass guitar seminars in the 70's a profound learning
experience. He recorded one in 1982. In 1985 it was released for
distribution, but only in Japan.

So would it kill you to read a book from time to time?

I thought this was great stuff when I first encountered it a couple of
years ago. For guitarists who have already established basic skills, I
wondered if it wasn't the best all-purpose intro to the issues of
playing jazz on the instrument.

It certainly seems to crystalize the approach that Joe Pass took. I was
in OKC when Pass first came through town (74-ish?) and knew a few guys
who became absolute disciples after the experience.

I wish we had such clear documentation of the vantage points from
Barney Kessel, Jimmy Raney, Howard Roberts and even Ed Bickert, all of
whom did seminars during those same years. I assumed theirs were
predicated on the success Joe was having at the enterprise. Even more,
I'd love something like this from Oscar Moore, Eddie Lang and
particularly George Barnes!

I consider their input very useful--particularly if they diverge in
their views of "what's best" for others!

Look for the "free" part.

This is great thank you for posting. Here's a pic from the Pablo release of this clinic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/38884705@N06/3716820818/

Do you know if it came with any written material?
