Hey guys,
This thread reminded me a a chart I have that you might be interested in.
This is a composition by Joe DiOrio called, "Blues for Bela" - that's Bela Bartok, and obviously it's a bit outside.
Joe played this a few times for us at G.I.T. back in 1978-79, and my roommate, David Carlson from Sweden transcribed it. He then showed it to Joe who confirmed it was accurate. Then, for our GIT class of '79 graduation party, David and Joe got up and played it together. I think it was a highlight in David's life. Anyway, David shared his score with me, and now I'm sharing it with you.
Hope you like it. It's a bit bizarre, but the more you hear it, it grows on you. Enjoy!
Thanks for the Diorio stuff! BTW: For those of you the belong to eMusic, the "It's About Time" CD just became available a few weeks ago. However, in typical eMusic fashion, it is listed under Dom Moio (not Diorio!), who is a sideman on the album.
I was a '79-'80 grad of GIT. Joe was sporadically around and the only time we really got to see him play was when Pat Metheny came for a seminar and he and Joe played a few tunes. Watching them play made me realize how amazing Joe was, and also how good Metheny was. They killed it on standard tunes. Joe's an amazing person.
You guys beat me to Joe by a few years (GIT Class of 1987). Loved my time with Joe. He taught me one thing that has stuck with me all these years: "All's well that ends well". Great transcriptions. Thanks guys.
Ha! And I'll split the difference...GIT 1984. Joe was around once a week or so during my year...and he remains to this day one of my greatest musical heroes. I love his "To Jobim With Love" CD.
Joe has always been one of my favorites. He actually played with my uncle Wally Cirillo in the seventies. An album called solo duo. I met joe when I was 15 ...back in the seventies and studied with him briefly in Miami. I have studied his playing ever since...still learning...for me... the Coltrane of guitar...
Interestingly I have real trouble with study groups like this. I think I like to spend a lot of time on one thing. A LOT of time. I find groups move on too quick.
I’m quite thick you see.

It has been a long time coming but the Johannes Haage interview is finally here.
The first 40 minutes discusses what Johannes got from the Mick Goodrick Almanacs etc.
The rest of the interview...
Hate them. An abomination on the beautiful aesthetics of the traditional guitar and violin. Did Stradivarius have sound ports?
OK rant over. I never believed in them, until I tried one and I...
All this talk about fingering and positions... sheesh... makes me feel a little squirrelly.
BUT I have decided to change up ow I play measures 5-8 since it seems to be hanging me up and I see nobody...
I use the Page in the FX loop of the Boss and use the 4 X 10 Fender Bassman setting on the Boss;
The Page does what the Boss can't do- add some real tube warmth.
Hello. If you don’t mind going the non-traditional route, there are many nice vintage examples(1950’s-1960’s) from Germany. Makers such as Rodebald Hoyer, Arnold Hoyer, Nuebauer, Hofner, Huttl,...
I used the contact email on that site and asked (thanks). I am just at the beginning of a custom commission process with a luthier and was looking for some historic accurate information. I am not...
