In my early days Joe Pass was my favorite. Bought all his books, studied his method. I went to see him in the Village, a restaurant bar type of place. The place was noisy, I thought no one would be able to hear him. He played his first chord and the place became silent. I’m betting most of them were guitar players.

I am not sure what guitar he was using, maybe an L5 Gibson??? The next time I went to see hm he was playing a thin-hollow body made by Jimmy D’Aquisto. Jimmy D’Aquesto made me the exact same guitar. To my surprise, I didn’t play any batter. (smile)

Dave, what’s Joe Pass got to do with this post? There no comparing. Grrrr!
