“I'm a little tired. I haven't been out for more than five or six weeks in the States, and that's really a lot for me. You know, to me, music is important, it's the way I make my living and I like it and I enjoy playing. But it's not the most important thing in my life - that's my family.” KnowsWayLittlesImportantStatesEnjoyFamilyFiveWeekHavensSixMusic IsMy FamilyImportant ThingsTired Author:Joe Pass
“My father would say, 'Play a scale,' and I'd play one and he'd say, 'What about the rest? There must be one above,' so we'd figure them out. I'd start the scale on the root of the chord and I'd go as far as my hand would reach without going out of position, say, five frets, and then I'd go all the way back. So when ! practised I'd start right away on scales. As well as the usual ones, I'd play whole tone scales, diminished, dominant sevenths, and chromatic scales. Every chord form, all the way up, and this took an hour.” WayWellsPlayWholeHandsFormFatherHoursFiveFiguresPositionRootsGuitarScalesToneUsualGoing OutDominantChords Author:Joe Pass
