RIP the great Pat Martino. I was lucky enough to see him play in an organ trio setting a few years ago, a totally unique voice in jazz and will be greatly missed.

Just uploading a new transcription with a slightly different angle, not sure if it's something people will respond to but just to explain!
I don't see transcriptions as sacred texts with which a performance can by recreated from- for me they are many little turns and phrases which can potentially enrich your musicality. As my channel title says, I'm all about 'Jazz Vocabulary' and to me how that vocabulary comes to you is not important. I have done a few transcriptions by other instruments and tabbed them for guitar- music is music and so to this end I've been thinking about the potential of putting a few slowed down ones in like the Sonny Stitt one just released. So much good language out there and when it's blistering horn solo I had always wondered if it will be of use to anyone but I think slowing it down gives a better idea of how it might sit on the guitar. Let me know if you think it's any good and thanks as always!

New video just uploaded, can there ever be too much Grant Green?! I'm hoping not :-)
This one has a lot of phrases which sit behind the usual Eb minor blues scale fingering but close listening and deciphering makes me think it was played there. Enjoy!
