User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star slapped together – VERY short
39 minutes for 6 segments. once you figure in transitions that is 5 minutes per segment. And the segments are pretty thin. A bit of info on substitutions. The tabs book is VERY thin and very little of the video is transcribed. Try Jimmy Bruno’s No Nonsense Jazz Guitar it has a fat tabs book, is way longer, and it fits together instead of just throwing parts of several videos together like this piece of trash.
Over all a RIP OFF
4 Stars This will really expand your imagination and vocabulary
If you are tired of playing the same stuff and hearing yourself play the same stuff. You should get this DVD. It really expanded the way I thought about chords and showed me some new ideas of how to approaching chording differently. Joe Pass will blow your mind! The DVD can get a little irritating on some parts, because some of the musicians don’t have diagrams that go along with what they are demonstrating. So get your pause finger ready. It is well worth it. It brought me out of a musical rut. You might be able to make some musical connections with this DVD. Give it a try.
