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've tried to get a duo thing when someone comes back that they mostly do solo acoustic acts. No bites yet. I think I gotta make a stupid website, with a stupid EPK. The business side of music is...
Sorry to hear that. I love vintage German acoustic guitars. In fact, the archtop I own is a 1959 Rodebald Hoyer “Samba” 17” acoustic archtop made in the Bavarian region. It’s a wonderful instrument....
I always liked how "country" players could harmonize the melody of tunes in intervals.
And play out of tune intervals.
As Jimmy Smith said above. Start with a basic melody and experiment with...

Would you mind showing us what the melody is that you want to harmonise? Is it well known or one of yours?
Also, what style is it in? I'm asking because they guy in your video...
Our first as a trio is May 10. We will mix it up pretty good, jazz standards with vox, some old school R&B, classic country; a few instrumentals. The gig will be in a restaurant type setting

I own two guitars. A Mule steel tricone and 1959 Rodebald Hoyer “Samba” acoustic archtop. These are the two best playing and sounding guitars I have ever owned. My keepers.
I've owned a few over 60 years of playing! 21 amplifiers and 15 guitars- surprisingly small list of guitars, I tended to find the ones I wanted to play, and then keep them until I wasn't using them...
I use my acoustic Mule steel tricone for everything I play, including jazz. A nice sounding acoustic tricone is hard to beat the sound of to my ears. If I wasn’t to add a little something different,...
to me GC is a corporate idea that did not include low pay employees who thought working there would be cool,
and found out it was not.
My most recent trip to GC was to obtain an Ibanez super...
Well I searched and it said pleks don't round the fret ends so I would say try to find a good luthier. But you said there are only 2 in your area, the suck guy and an ok guy, so I understand your...
