Joe Satriani Practised From This Joe Pass Book

[Liarspoker]

I've seen this before but just wanted to share it here.
You can hear some very cool chords in Joe's playing ( Always With You, Always With Me for example. Such beautiful chords).

Joe (Pass)'s reach extends past the jazz realm....

Cool book…..that and “Chord Solos” are both less than $10 on Amazon. Besides the chords themselves there are substitution ideas and some chord passages at the end of the book.

The Chord Solos book is a project. Always loved his Bb blues in there. Here is Chris Whiteman playing it:

I always love to hear Chris play.

I have Joe's physical chord book and the chord solo book on Kindle (Lovely little intro to Misty in there too).

Much prefer a physical book though.

I learned most of my chords out of the Joe Pass book. I was also a bit baffled at first why he didn’t name all the specific chord extensions, but eventually I realised it was to simplify the thinking and group them into basic types, and get you viewing them in a way that lets you see the ‘wood’ instead of the ‘trees’.

I did go through the book though and figure out and write the specific chord name above each one, so that was quite a valuable learning exercise (if the names had been printed and I’d just read them, the info. would never have sunk in so well).

I did the same for the first few pages but not necessarily C something but also Am and Em.
