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...
The tailpiece assembly is part of the system. There are several factors to consider when setting up a stop tailpiece, especially when the guitar got a carved top or an arched top like a semi.

"Prenotched" doesn't mean we are good to go. It just means that we don't have to notch the saddles ourselves prior to slotting. Also note that "prenotched" always means that the...
I have an 18 inch blond acoustic Campellone. I'm thinking about electrifying it.
It's rather plain with no bling, but it's beautiful. It has a rosewood fingerboard and an extra wide nut. I...
Cummings has taken a nuclear action, terminating the performing rights agreements for all the Guess Who songs he wrote, removing the copyright protections that allow the band (or anyone else) to...
Individual style is important. To develop it you have to balance assimilating your influences with cultivating your inner values. Then practice hard to play well so your style can be realized. And...
I don’t understand what you’re describing. There is no such thing as a DC transformer. Transformers work because AC in the primary winding induces AC in the secondary winding, with the ratio of...
That was exhaustive- and exhausting- reading. The minutiae of guitar production and collecting is frequently astonishing. Especially in mass produced products where all kinds of variations happen...
Randy was a close friend of Lenny Breau's, so he might have some interesting guitars for auction.
He's also Canadian, so maybe he's even got a Beauregard in there.

I just did a quick test with my Joyo American Sound pedal into a solid state amp using a 1Spot power supply. I was using a single coil (non-humbucking) pickup and I was near some LED lights on a...
Epiphone are making really excellent guitars these days. I find they're coming back to the early 90's Korean quality
I tried one of the very new ES335 with the new headstock, it was as good as any...
Maybe, I just don't think of it that way because I could pick any set of notes and reassemble them like that, in this case the first eleven notes of the tune, which you could hardly call a lick...
You are correct. If the tone pot on typical magnetic pickup equipped guitar is rolled all the way back, the tone cap will be in parallel with the much smaller cable capacitance, so cable capacitance...
The longest I've used it was for a 4-hr job, running a Quilter combo and my 9v pedalboard using an iSpot. It only went down one bar. I can't comment on charging time because I've never had it down...
I have blonde Emperor F and it's the guitar I play the most.
As already mentioned, they don't have carved tops. They're made with lighter/thinner laminates, similar in some ways to a 1950s/60s...
