Pat Martino was recent asked a similar question on minor conversion over on his thread on another site. It's a Cool thread that Pat posts to when not on the road.

It's almost like he got out his Spirograph and had at it!

If anyone's interested, I just posted some of my own homework (inspired by this thread), over here: Pat Martino - Multiple Substitutions

Interested, appreciative.

Martino's tone certainly does vary quite a bit depending on the recording. The instruction vids seem to me to poorly showcase how good he can sound sometimes. Then again, the "Consciousness" tone is pretty close to those vids, so...
The linked recording from YouTube sounds great imo. Some of his early stuff has more clarity than the "dark and blunt" stuff that came later. And I've heard some recent stuff that sounds good as well.

Look an Django Reinhard...how many books was written about his style/gypsy jazz...etc? how many guitarist playing in style of Django?

I like Django very much but do not play his licks during the gigs.

Mark,
You are not in violation of any law if you don't like or dislike Martino's music. You criticism though, is a bit vascillating. Bad tone, too many notes, his licks have no re-sale value.
Might I suggest that the only to make a living sounding like Pat Martino is if you are Pat Martino. The same is true any cutting edge player. There aren't that many cutting edge audiences.
