Dave Frank Master Class - The Nature of the Guitar w/Pat Martino 

Ive been playing guitar(music) for over 35 years. I just learned more in 15 minutes with Pat Martino than from all my previous teachings. wow! What a great musician! RIP Pat

First of all, it's genius. Second of all, don't ask Pat Martino for directions to the store.

Real lovely to listen to a master on this level of understanding. Inspiration .

Masters of their craft. Beautiful to see and hear such virtuosity.

My goodness, Pat sounds magnificent in this format, which is rare for him. Cheers for posting, and long live the king.

Wow. Awesome breakdown of concept there. I feel that more guitar teachers should take his approach for beginners, showing them all the patterns and symmetry on the guitar. Thanks for the video!

I play a little guitar, I mean a little bit of guitar. I'm not interested in being able to play this kind of stuff, it's way beyond me, but I love listening to Pat Martino and watching his classes. He's like some kind of wise old sage. His life story is absolutely fascinating also. This is a side of Jazz I never thought I'd get into, but through Pat I'm getting close. Thanks for the upload.

I grasp almost nothing he says, because I have no background in music theory, yet it was a great privilege to hear him speak. The playing speaks for itself. What a great talent this man is.

This is the REAL stuff right here. No faking! This man is the single-handed writer of a lot of the standards, so when he plays them, it is REAL! Pat is a JAZZ-HERO and LEGEND!

Man what a genius! Rediscovering Pat after a long time

So glad he was here, so sad that he is gone. The light bulb moments I get from his explanations are more like lightening bolt moments. Incredible insight. Thanks for posting this.

Wow! This is awesome- as the tuning on guitar is in effect 6 rows of Piano keys, Guitar can be a complex instrument to understand harmonically...Pat's years with the instrument really shine through here and this lesson allows a guitarist to develop his understanding of notes and harmony utilising the shapes we are all comfortable with....what a legend- Thanks Pat!

Damn, Dave Frank is killin. Pat had many styles that were timeless. I never knew him when he was young, but when I close my eyes I see and hear a young player with centuries of wisdom.

I adore this man, he talks about sacred geometry, well I say he's sacred to jazz guitar and the history of jazz himself! One of the most articulate and intelligent men I've ever come across. I know Dave greatly enjoyed speaking and playing with Martino, a real honour.

Love his thinking here. Must investigate more. Thank you, gentlemen.

Mr Martino is such a gracious individual. I've met him on several occasions at his shows and always such a gentleman and a very fine guitarist!

I think it’s safe to say that We’re all better people for having had Pat in Our lives in one form or another. Thanks for the Memories, Pat. You’ll never be forgotten, my friend…

Great insight. I need to watch this a few times.

This gave me a new appreciation of Pat, the guitar, his music, music in general and the oneness of all things - (don’t quite know how to put it but....) thank you!

I feel like my mind is being blown in slow motion. What an awesome guy

I personally don't get much, musically speaking, out of the concepts he's dealing with here, but a lot of his explanations are really beautiful! You can tell he has a very deep spiritual and emotional connection to his music. Such a unique and creative mind.

Such a great video, Dave lets his guest speak and play to his hearts content. Thanks for this.

Great video Thx !!! ... great explanations about patterns & progressions ! that's the way it should be taught in guitar & jazz schools !!

Superb!!!. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers.

Damn! He sounds so much like Wes Montgomery here - from his single-line to his octave playing, even the tone! It's obvious (and well known) that Wes was a huge influence on Pat, as he was on just about every jazz guitar player that followed him. Really appreciate your channel. Most people don't realize that (serious) music is as much an intellectual endeavor as it is artistic. Your studies bring this out brilliantly and enjoyably.

The result is surprisingly very beautiful, the idea behind it is so smart. I'll sleep smarter tonight. Thank you Pat. To the shed... ❤

Solo un genio puede volver con la magia intacta, gracias Pat!!

Sad day. We all have a lot to thank this man.

Great lesson thank you Pat.

Pat is my favourite modern Jazz Guiatrist ... just wonderful stuff.

Pat's lines are amazing. He has the timing and feel of the great bebop masters.

Excellent, thank you!

Nice! I like Pat's comping as much as his solos.

Great time pat!!! ❤🎉love his style

🤯 how am I just finding this for the first time after so many years?! 🤯 just brilliant

So fantastic!!!

what a beautiful mind! Thank you Pat!

11:17 the stuff about turning augmented chords into major and minor chords by changing only one note is pretty cool. Thanks for the video!

Dave, thanks for your wisdom in bringing the magic of this man to your stage. He is so profoundly inspiring. He is intuitively referencing advanced mathematics like set theory and abstract algebra perhaps without knowing it, yet when he plays it has the beauty of heaven. The juxtaposition of left brain and right brain concepts to create something even higher is like a spiritual journey that he is sharing with us. I have never seen anything like it.

This is so good! Respect… He learned this Mastery, Twice! Learn his story .. R.I.P.

I've seen him deriving chords from diminished chords, and now he's doing it to augmented chords. This man is just full of revelations.

Love this!

Holy smokes. This is one of the best lessons you’ll ever receive, if you can follow along. 🔥👍👏

Eternal gratitude for a genius, the only one on the planet who overcame a cereral aneurysm and became one of the greatest collaborators for all guitarists and musicians on the planet an angel of God ,,, eternal gratitude

We lost a Savant. Pat was a MASTER and the way he explains music could benefit us all. A very sad loss… RIP Pat Martino, you sir, will be sorely missed.

Amazing. Just amazing 😻

Pat's explanation of the symmetries in music are similar in ways to Barry Harris's concepts on harmony. Anyone interested ought to see what Barry put forward also

Just.. amazing!

This has just changed my life.

I admire this guy a Lot!

Jesus … So insightful yet so simple and evident.

happy birthday pat! membering guitar legend Pat Martino on his birthday. August 25, 1944 - November 1, 2021,...miss you

Pat Martino...awesome right hand.

Pat was a true genius of invention on guitar you have self trained, theory taught, inventive genius on guitar. Pat was the latter, leaving home at a young age, dropped out of high school, seeking a career in jazz and education, found it all along the way. Didn't have a traditional music education, followed his love for music. I don't believe that path is possible today as things have been forced to change in our society. Pat was a gift to the guitar world as was Wes and so many other brilliant players. To often today we see the children of wealthy families graduating from music programs that are paid for full sail degrees but so many lack soul and are comicly mechanical and lack substance. Pat was a true genius that comes along rarely as did Jaco, Wes and so many black Hammond B3 organists. McDuff, Holmes, McGriff, Rhyne, Smith, Earland and other great black key players and of course Art Tatum, one of the true piano geniuses in America. Drummers, horn players, too many to list. Most died with little money and society tends to forget you when you check out of here. Pat was unique. I met Tal Farlow, Barney Kessel, Jack Wilkins, Joe DiOrio, Les Paul, Larry Carlton, Joe Pass and others. They all had a gift, were very real people, most didn't have attitudes, aloof mindsets or other mental personality woes but we're just guys who loved music and interaction with others to create it, allowing their voice and others to be heard. Today, when players are trying to cram 1,000 notes in a measure, listen to Luis Armstrong who could say more with three notes than most players with ten. He played from the heart, so lacking in so many players and artificial celebs today. Thank you Pat for decades of instruction on the true potential of guitar!

I must make a note to spend a bit of time studying this.

Just a couple of ol cats having a great time! I love it! Sounds amazing!

Legend Pats parental forms are a great way to find new chord structures

Great interpretation!

This man is a revelation! Superb Sir! Brain unlocked you're the key! What a deep thinker.

Pat is my favourite living Jazz Guitarist today ... absolute master.

What a legend incredible every note had soul and purpose

The split screen is excellent!

mind blown. ordering his book...now.

Beautiful.

Deep insight from a remarkable mind.

All I can say is Pat Martino was amazing

An absolute genius 🙏🏻

excellent use of clipping i dig the crunch

God please, let that man live much much much much much longer

Thanks for posting this. 🤍

A great guitarist, one of the best

One of MY mentors, Carl Lockett in the Bay Area,(First call Guitarist for Many Greats,) Loved Pat martino!! RIP PAT!!

great....both

I learned from Frank Gerard, who learned from the same guy who taught Pat Martino (Dennis Sandole). Great video I was able to follow right along with Pat but the alphabet thing to me is new and I can hardly wait to play around with the concept!

Thank you pat

amazing what a concept can lead to

Love it !!!!!!!!

He just blew my mind and I've been playing for over 20 years.

wow. i don't understand it but I love it!

That lovely example at 14:00 is is probably the most important thing any guitarist can learn.

Does anyone have a few examples on how to apply this information? I do see how the half step movements create other chords or Triads.

The way he slows down and harmonizes with the piano, such brilliance.

The augmented note is a guide between the majors 5th and it's relatives minor 3rd.

whoa, i had thought about diminshed going to other dom chords, but shifting individual notes of augmented is a different concept for me! thanks

This guy loved and understood the guitar to level nobody has before

what a bloody genius..

One of the key takeaways from this video is how the piano player stays out of the way of the soloist.Pat Marino. If the piano player is the lead, then the guitarist needs to comp to stay out of the way of the lead. This is what I’m working on now. His discussion is amazing. And, I have guitar envy.

beautiful master

Here’s Martino’s “Symmetrical Parental Forms”. 1) Fret your GBD strings at frets 554. That’s notes C-E-G# and it’s 3 different Augmented triads, named for any one of those 3 notes. It’s 1-3-#5. 2) LOWER any one of those notes, you get 3 different MAJOR triads (1-3-5). 3) RAISE any one of those 3 notes, you get 3 different MINOR triads (1-b3-5). So that easy-to-grab Augmented Symmetrical Parental Form has 6 “children”, 3 Major triads and 3 Minor triads. - Now the other “parent”, the 4-note Diminished 7th chord (1-b3-b5-bb7). Fret 4-5-4-5 on the DGBE strings. That is 4 different Diminished 7th chords named for notes: F#-C-Eb-A. 1) LOWER any one note and you get a Dominant 7th chord (1-3-5-b7). 2) RAISE any one note and you get a Half-Diminished 7th chord (aka) a Minor 7b5 chord. So that other easy-to-grab chord form, 4 notes this time, yields 8 other chords: 4 Dominant 7th chords and 4 Minor 7b5 chords. That is Martino’s lesson. 2 chords are “automatic” on the guitar, and you use them to show you other chords. That’s it.

I’ve noticed that Pat’s pinky flails like crazy, yet it never interferes with his astonishing technique. There’s so much nonsense about this kind of thing on RU-vid. A master.

Awesome ❤️

This guy is brilliant.

Thanks to Pat Martino for unifying and sharing the real key to the guitar fingerboard. You could spend a lifetime on the guitar and never guess this stuff exists. Along with the cycle, the great composers knew this information and used it. (You'll never have to hunt for triads and inversions again.) If you can find one, read Chord Connection by Dave Eastlee. It explains Diminished Principles and the first instance of CAGED grips used in changes. It does not explain the Augmented "morphing". I'm having lot's of fun with his alphabet composing. It's very surprising.

Beautiful Genius. Vertical & Horizontal triads. Alphabet scales and all. RIP Pat.

beautiful

Mind blown.

Hola Dave! por favor subtitulanos a español este video con pat! un abrazo desde Argentina!

Fabulous............ron castro

his own model, if you check out the full master class he talks alot about it..

That guitar's gorgeous, along with your playing. What make is it?
