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...
I bought a 2011 175 new and it had the laminated fretboard.
The fretboard was so stiff that the trussrod didn’t work.
It also didn’t even look like rosewood.
It was made shortly after the wood...
Hello Chris 32895,
Just like your Ibanez, my 175 showed herself as another instrument as soon as I put Thomastik-Infeld JS112's on. From then on, the archtop magic was full on. I'll never go back to...
I learned 5 positions, might as well use them. It keeps the 4 bars interesting over the week trying to get a few places. I moved Billies Bounce down an octave last night with relative ease, one...
The Blues Jr. sounds better than a quilter to me, but at a bar with people talking and drums playing, you can't tell. At the end of the night, the Jr. is just heavier and more fragile. The cable...
Dear Zigracer,
Yes I had the bridge removed a little bit towards the tailpiece and then had to adjust a few individual strings. And all of a sudden I had a new guitar.
Get the Jensen blackbird 40. I don’t see a reason to use a 10” neo speaker when it weighs the same as a small ceramic or alnico magnet (plus or minus half a pound). The Jensen blackbird is a great...
If that's true, then expecting someone to change because you asked nicely is naïve at best. The ignore function can help shield you from the "negativity and grumpiness" you describe. It can also...
IIUC driving 2 smaller speakers with the same (?) signal gives the same bass response as a bigger speaker (a round or oval one with the same diameter?) without sacrificing the treble response of a...
Can't you just try to be a bit nicer and more positive?
You've literally made OVER 9000 posts on this forum, and all I remember is negativity and grumpiness.
Just let the guy post what he is...
With careful use of the controls, I think the Cub sounds as good or better for jazz, pop, commercial, country and fusion. In its sweet spot, the BJ has the edge for blues. The Cub also does it all...
Has anyone else noticed that all the manufacturers seem to be discontinuing their 10 inch neo guitar speakers and the price for the remainder of the stock has more than doubled? The only 10 inch neos...
Messed with it in a few different spots. This was the only one that was playable for me really, so I recorded it. Maybe next lick I'll post a longer video of my whole process of figuring out where to...
No more 10" Neo Speakers?
