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...
This perspective (anti-enharmonic) is just based on the idea that a single pitch within the domain of a chord should not take two scale degree numerals but be determined as one or the other based on...
I appreciate the utility of a sound port, but not the aesthetics, so I've never bought a guitar with one. That being said, there was a post on this site some years back of an Elferink build that had...
My Cabaret has one, and I usually keep it closed with a plug I made because it gets too loud for practise.
I too would say it mostly boosts what I hear of the mid/low frequencies but like with...
Yes
A side port is just a way for the player to actually enjoy listening to the guitar.
Makes sense given you’re the one that plays it the most and paid for it.
With reference to the arch, I recall my Elitist Broadway had a slightly more pronounced arch, and more pronounced recurve, and over all a more beautiful (to me) curve, than even my L5ces did. It was...
I play with the neck angled up fairly high (45 degrees, or maybe a bit more). I don't find that the strap button position makes any difference at all in terms of playing comfort or suitability for...
I'm a little confused by this thread. Last year a 90s Gibson Le Grand went unsold at a $7-8k list on this forum for several months. What's special (other than the name) in this JS to command such a...
