For my Master of Music at the Aaron Copland School of Music, I elected to research and transcribe three of my favorite guitarists of all time: Joe Pass, Grant Green and Wes Montgomery.
My intent was threefold: learn about their biographical history, absorb aspects of their playing into my own, and share my findings in a relatable manner that helps other guitarists learn.
1. Who was Wes Montgomery?
2. Who was Joe Pass?
Part 1. Was Joe Pass a “Genius” of Jazz Guitar?
Part 2. What was Joe Pass’ Approach to Solo Jazz Guitar?
