What a fantastic book! Apr 22, 2008
By MLao
I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years now and jazz has always been a mystery to me. I always wanted to play jazz standards but never had the patience to learn them. After trying many boring and unnecessarily difficult books, I bought Dan Towey's Chord Melodies on Hal Leonard and that got me started. I was hooked. I was then looking for a more challening book, one that I could impress my audience with. When I found these note-for-note transcriptions of Joe Pass' Virtuoso recordings, I thought I'd give it a try but wasn't too serious about it. I figured this would be way out of my league.
Well, I've had this book for a week now and can't let my guitar down. I have learned the beautiful "Have You Met Miss Jones" standard by practicing over four hours a day. Unlike some books on chord melodies, Joe Pass does not use super complicated chords but rather a beautiful melody line along with swinging rhythms. For a non-jazz guitarist like me, it turned out to be a really good fit. This book is definitely for advanced guitarists but it certainly isn't out of reach for those of us who are prepared to practice hard.
The transcriptions are very accurate and the fingerings are top notch. Roland Leone did a fantastic job both in terms of accuracy and practicality. Highly recommended.

Super hard! Aug 31, 2008
By Andy Remedios
The only thing about this book I would have liked to see were lists of the recordings these transcriptions came from. My guess is that the average jazz student(especially guitar players!) can't sight-read many of the polyrythmic figures. Plus, things like nuance and dynamic tend to get lost in transcriptions.

the fantastic Joe Pass ! Nov 23, 2003
By Jean Havenne
I had heard Joe Pass.
This book give me the opportunity to approach modestly his art.
And better feel the beauty.
Thank you Joe, thank you Roland.

Cool book Dec 05, 2009
By J. Cooper
Joe Pass apparently had way too much time on his hands and a burning desire to play jazz galore. Imagine if instead he'd been into building space ships... We'd likelely landed on the moon years earlier as a result. Smart guy! :)

Joe Pass, the genius. May 15, 2008
By Nigel Williams
"nigeymusic"
I love this book. It gives a lot of insight into the genius of Joe Pass. I use it mostly to verify what I have transcribed by ear.
