One book that doesn’t necessarily have the drop 2 joe pass style voicings. Specifically I have noticed Joe loves his major 6th drop 2 voicing. But one book for solo guitar arrangement and really understanding it. I highly recommend Howard Morgan chord melody and beyond book. That alone will make you unlock the next step to seeing what these guys mainly do and simplifying the mystery.
This is precious information, I watched some of your videos, I can see that your giving practical advices. I hope this type of videos get more attention, in contrast to the click bait "The unicorn 🦄 jazz chord" type of videos.
Great video! And that book does benefit from a player insight like yourself. 3:10 no minor6 voicing? Ain't minor 6 chord the same as minor 7 flat five chord (-7b5), the sixth category that you mention?
You're right that minor 6ths and minor 7b5s are inversions, but that isn't how Joe seemed to think about it. He doesn't list any of the m7b5 voicings in the minor chord category.
This is a fantastic video! You're helping a lot of people. One thing, though. The book breaks things into 6 chord types, but Joe only thinks in 3 types. Major, Minor, and Dominant. All chords relate back to those three types. This is stated in other of his books. He also told me exactly this, when I was 19 years old and went to see him play solo at the Iron Horse Cafe. He spent his whole break and some time after the show talking to me and 2 friends. We had gotten there 3 hours before doors opened and sat 6 ft away, eyes glued. He was such a great, kind, generous and funny dude. Anyways, other than that, this is a fantastic video. And I hate to be that dude, but I think it's important to really reduce things to simplest possible forms/terms.
Thanks for the insights. I never met Joe, so I'm just going by what is in his books. I have Guitar Styles where he talks about those three types in the substitution section, but he also lists six chords types in other sections. But not the exactly same ones as in the chord book. In one of Joe's videos, where he says he doesn't think of arpeggios and then proceeds to demonstrate a lick using arpeggios. I think all of this is helpful in understanding how he thought. Thanks again.
Useful information and well presented, but I have a technical complaint. Every time you speak, I hear a high buzzing sound. I was listening on my porch and I thought it was crickets, but no, it’s the video. Unless my ears are my iPad are messed up.
I used a new plugin on the voice this time. I can almost hear what you are talking about, but it's up in a frequency range my old ears don't hear very well. Is it distracting enough to justify pulling the video and fixing the audio?
@@maestrophilkell From u.k. I have 67 yr old ears, when tested were 7 out of ten. I can hear it also. Good video though. It’s too cold for crickets here!😂
