The Jazz Guitar Gazette

Pat Martino learned how to play superb jazz guitar twice.   He emerged in the sixties, releasing his first album 'El Hombre' in 1967.
Pat Martino made a remarkable comeback at the beginning of the eighties.  After undergoing brain surgery he had complete amnesia and forgot how to play guitar.   It took him years to recover and get back to his old form, partly by listening to his old records.  The first record he released after the post amnesia period was 'The Return'.



Recommended listening : 'Live at Yoshi's'





Dominant Licks

1)  The first lick is a V - I minor lick.  If the second chord would be a major chord, change the last note to an 'e natural'.
