Guest Book

Pat's Guest Book archive, July, 1997.

Snail-mail address: P.O. Box 30602, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87190-0602. Do you have a snail-mail fan-mail address? I drove to New York to see your Saturday night show at the Blue Note. Hope to catch your quartet again someday. This is my first spacewalk in cyberspace, and it's all your fault. I'm afraid to look down. Actually this is being entered at a cyber-cafe in the basement of Fred's Bread and Bagels, because my home is computer-free. Now I'll shut up until next time. God bless.

There are many wonderful musicians (guitarists) on earth, but your music speaks to me in a spiritual language. Your playing always serves as a place of peace when I need it, and a vehicle of good, clean fun when the mood strikes. Thank your creator for letting you continue and move to new levels of communication. Hope to see you in the near future if you come out to play in Los Angeles.

Greatings!!! Although I have never met you in person, you have been a great teacher\mentor to me.Your guitar philosophies and ideas/veiwpoints have always intrigued me. Like the altering of the dim.7th into a dom7th by moving any note a half-step and reaching all 12 keys within a 3-fret radius.This opened many doors for me. Also your idea about being ambidextrous with one's fingerings by being able to play anything in every position with any fingering (2nd nature I might add). Also I think your "6 guitar strings veiwed as Hexagrams" is incredible!(and I have even found a great use for it) But this brings us to a different insight on "the mechanism known as the guitar" An insight that shows how the number "5" relates to the guitar in it's standard tuning. It begins with what I call the 5 master chords. That being open E,A,C,D,and G major chords (1st pos.) The next step is the use of these chord figures up the neck via barre chord (and yes the C,D and G style figures also using the index finger where the nut would be on the open chord). From this point one may realize how to "ALTER" the 5 master chords by changing the 3rd / 5th a half-step and/or adding (subtracting?) the 7th,9th,13th ect. getting as deep into chord chemistery as one wishes to go. By learning all the inversions in all positions on the guitar mechanism, along with their corisponding arpeggios/scales (having a 2nd nature awareness of a keys roots/5ths ect.) "NOW!!!" by using your "I Ching veiwed as a guitar":-) veiwpoint, a guitar playing enity can create a most deversifing "progession set" of chord/arpeggeo qualities. (Anyway,if this made any sense) this is just a small sample of how you have illuminated my being and it's use of a guitar know as a mechanism :-) Blessings and Health, Robb Whitman

Dear Pat, I am elated to have found this site. You won't remember me, but you and I sat in a small club in Atlanta listening to a guitarist named Karl Ratzer from Austria, way back when you were touring the Joyous Lake albulm. You were kind enough to spend time with me and what you told me that night shaped my musical mind for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I don't play much anymore, but I can still sing many of your solos in my head. I can't tell you what a joy and inspiration you were to me. I have been listening to you for as long as I can remember. My Martino live albulm is plum wore out!!! Your look at " Clouds" still brings a tear to my eye...perhaps someday I'll pick up the instrument I had played and loved since I was a small child and perhaps I'll find that blend I always dreamed of...harmonies like Johnny Smith and solos like Pat Martino...thanks...Nick...p.s. if ya get down this way..stop by the house, we'll cook up some of my nauni's pasta with a red sauce!!!

Dear Pat, I have been listening to your music since approx. 1968, and I still can't get enough of it. I especially remember the early things with Jack McDuff, Trudy Pitts, and Eric Kloss. I recently purchased Nightwings and The Maker and I am looking forward t o getting All Sides Now. I have never seen you play live, but God willing, I hope to see you at Birdland in October. I purchased your two Creative Forces video's and especially enjoyed your comments on your new attitude on life since the recovery of your illness. I can't believe that I am writing to you. There is so much that I would like to say only I don't quite know how to say it. Although I listen to all of the jazz guitar players and am particularly fond of the organ bag. Wes Montgomery and you are truly my favorite guitar players for I consider you both to be Prophets of my generation. How blessed I am to have lived in this era. May God Bless you; Keep you in His Infinite Wisdom; and Through His Son, Grant you All you Desire in Life! Love, Peace, Health & Happiness, Mike

I enjoy listening to you, but unfortunately, few people here appreciate jazz. I hope you can play here so that we can listen to a living legend of jazz guitar. Some time ago, Chick Corea had a concert here and it filled the rafters. I know it will be t he same for you.

Dear Pat, I wanted to mention how much your music has done for my soul ... it speaks to me like few others. I'd also like to say that it is a tremendous treat being able to sit down with your videos and have you introduce your thinking in the most caring of manners. Your gift has answered for me many mysteries and mis-understandings regarding the use of chromatic passing tones. Breaking through these difficulties is something I never would have expected to pick up on my own in my life time. You've granted me ecstatic experience in my search for musical freedom, not to mention some ability to add some Pat Martino flavor to my lines ... I can never thank you enough for what you've given me; my love goes out to you always, jean-charles maillet

Dear Pat, Really enjoy your flawless runs--you never get stuck. My dad a "Switch-hitter", right and left handed, guitar player turned me onto you with the "Consciousness" album. The strings must have been smokin' on that date. Dad, Paul Sr., tells me that you pl ay with the heaviest gauge strings available because you pick so powerfully. And I also heard a "tale" that you use all downstrokes. Is that true... Or even possible? None the less, I've never heard cleaner or more decisive note choices. I was also wo ndering if you had ever had a chance to see live or play with Lenny Breau? I think that would have really been something tasty to hear you both jam. By the By, have you heard the "Living Room Tapes" with Breau and Brad Terry the horn and, so it seems, whistling afficianado? If not it's a must for anybody's collection. Lastly, do you have any events in the Central or Southern California areas. I know there are alot of guitarists here in "Buck's Hometown" that are into heavier things than C&W. The invitation's forever open! Brian Raley str8ahead (at) msn.com

Hello Pat. What a thrill it is for me to communicate with you. The Internet is great in this respect. I started listening to your records about 1978, starting with Joyous Lake and StarBright. I really enjoyed these and later purchased your Prestige records. There are a few solos on those records which "speak to me" still today. I'm glad that you are recording again. I live in the Chicago area and hope that you get to Chicago someday. Phil

Pat, What a wonderful surprise to come across your site on a guitar link page. I saw you perform in the mid 70's in Toronto as the opening act for Jean Luc Ponty with Bobby Rose, I beleive. Unfortunately the audience was unruly and as I was a ways back in the crowd I didn't hear you as well as I would have liked to. Obviously it bothered you as you cut your set short and said something about returning to Toronto with a rock and roll band. Still my friends and I enjoyed it as we already were big fans of your playing. Today I am a 39 yr. old pro guitarist and although I play primarily rock and r&b I still find that your playing has left a lasting influence on my playing, particularily my rythmic phrasing. Great to see you're back and I look forward to enjoying your recordings both old and new for years to come. Martin

BILL ( billyuru (at) aol.com): Dear Bill, I have no way of knowing whos transcription that might have been; but I can say this...... the best transcriptions I've seen were done by Dr. Jorg Heuser from Frankford, Germany. It's possible that some of those wor ks will be published here in the states in the near future through Hal Leonard Pub. Until then keep your eyes open and let me know what you find out.... Thanks!

PAUL VASQUEZ: Dear Paul, as much as I would like to offer you an answer to a great question, I have to be fully honest by saying ... I have no idea; maybe that's because I've never transcribed; although I do vaguely remember a time when I was forced to play records so many times that I wore them out; in fact, .... if anything, it wore me out even more! So much so that it caused me to begin to perform music more as a player and leave the transcriptions up to others who were more gifted with those p articular blessings. I'm sorry that I can't offer a solution; but I do think it might be helpful to direct that question toward a pro. in that field. In the meantime, thanks for your comments.

By the way, I'll be performing in San Francisco at "Yoishi's" (not sure of the proper spelling) with my qu artet with the possible addition of some "duettes" with Charlie Hunter as well as Tuck Andress on October 9th to the 12th. Come on out and have some fun with the rest of us! Thanks again.

JOHN McCORMICK: Hi John, thanks for the congratulations. With regard to your question about the "Philadelphia Jazz Scene", I think it may be helpful for you to give a listen to W.R.T.I. ( 90.1 FM ) for their current list of events in town. I'll be pe rforming at "The Zanzabar Blue" on September 12th, to the 14th; it would be nice to see you there. I will also be performing once again at the Regatta in Boston from October 23rd to the 25th; (just in case you happen to be there). As to your other questi on, I think you'll enjoy hearing that Joel Dorn from "32 Jazz" Records is beginning to re-release all of the earlier recordings; both as a sideman as well as a leader. Once again,...thanks and the best of luck!

JOHN McCORMICK: Hi John, thanks for the congratulations. As far as knowing what's taking place in Philadelphia I've always found it difficult; (being out of town as much as I am) but I do think that it may be helpful to give a listen to W.R.T.I ( 90.1 FM ) for their daily list of information about what's going on with Jazz events. I will be performing in Philadelphia at "The Zanzabar Blue" on Sept. 12th; to the 14th; it would be nice to see you there. As to your other question; I think you'll be pl eased to know that that a great number of my recordings both as a sideman and leader shall be re-released by Joel Dorn on "32 Jazz"; a brandnew lable that amongst other things has absorbed the Muse Records catalogue. Once again, .... thanks and "best of luck!"

It paints a picture of an extremely creative and disciplined person. Most of us will spend the rest of our lives trying to play that stuff. Just awesome really. Sure be neat if ya came down Texas way sometime! I know the jazzers at N. Texas State would absolutely love it. The best to you and yours. Cheers Dave Surina oh ya, just how DO you do it!?!?!!!

I'm a guitar student at the University of North Florida and I've been trying to transcribe Wes Montgormery's solo on "No Blues", However I've been having trouble hearing the chords during the chord sol o portion of it. What is the best way to figure out chords while transcribing?

Pat, Hello! I don't know if you remember me but I videotaped a few of your master classes in Philadelphia two years ago. I just picked up the CD reissue of "Footprints" and I'm enjoying it immensely!! It's great to finally have this precious music on CD! I'm really looking forward to hearing the new album, I'm sure it will be everything that all of yours fans expect and much more. I wish you continued success Pat and I look forward to hearing you play live again sometime very soon. Stay well my friend. Peace.

It is both an honor and a pleasure to say that I have known Pat since 1968. He is one of the most extraordinary human- beings that I have ever met. His insight and talents extend far beyond mere music. Pat has a great mind which functions on such a high level that I am always intelectually stimulated in his presence. I have learned much from Pat over these nearly 30 years. I consider him a friend and wish him the best always. CHEERS!! Ed Neidich

Just want to let all the Pat fans know that they will be able to get "Footprints" aka The Visit on CD within the next week or so. I work for Tower Records and received a promotional copy last week. Unlike was reported somewhere, it is Footprints only. I was told that other titles will be released in two-fers, and a box set is in the works.

Hello Pat: Congratulations to you for your newly designed website! We briefly met after a Regatta Bar show in Boston, and I was asking you about all of the LPs (e.g. Jack McDuff, Groove Holmes) where you are sideman. I would love to know if any of this stuff will ever come out on CD (not only for your work - but the other great artists as well). I can't help but feel that the world is a little deprived today by not being able to get all of the Groove Holmes, Eric Kloss, and Pat Martino that is out there. I am working temporarily in Lancaster on a startup technology company and visit Philly to hear jazz (e.g. Jimmy Bruno - WOW). Any tips on solid straight ahead jazz spots I can check out in Philly? All the best to you. Hope to hear as many great albums from you as possible. John McCormick

Hi Pat, I've been wanting to contact you over the years and to my delight I have found you on the Internet. You probably don't recall but I first met you in 1973 (I was graduating Berklee at the time) at the Jazz Workshop. I remember it well, you opened up with The Great Stream. We talked for a bit about a 12 string electric that I had just purchased, having been blown away by your Desperado recording (I wanted to be Pat Martino). I met you again in Newport, Larry Coryell was supposed to be playing but you and your group showed up instead, again to my delight. Well it's 24 years later and you are still my sole inspiration for playing the guitar. Just when I think I can let go of the instrument (I have since become consumed with a Computer Science career) I will listen to one of your recordings and it helps me put music in perspective as my true love of life second only to my family. Speaking of, my three boys are all involved with music and have grown up listening to Pat Martino recordings since birth. Some of their favorite recordings are Starbright and Joyous Lake which we can't seem to find on CD at the moment. We have just about everything else on CD (We'll be Together is another we can't find). If I had to pick a favorite it would be "Consciousness", oh wait, "Live", no ah "Exit", I guess there all my favorite. I'm glad to hear that your health is better (it was devastating to hear about your surgery). It certainly sounds like you are back. One of my children was in a bad accident and lost his Piano memory among other things. As you know, that really puts things in perspective. I think it's called Love of Life. Well it has been fun writing this e-mail to you (long over due)and I wish you well. God Bless you Pat. You are a great inspiration to me and my family. Lou Xifaras

If and when that does come about, I¹ll look forward to meet. Until then I send you my best wishes as well as my thanks .
