What would that reverb be? An EMT plate? I've been working on the "blues" in the Chord solo book, and it's pretty damn clever and there are a ton of cool moves. The middle section gets a little That would be my main criticism of Pass, that he's a little more interested in the ornamentation than he is in the bones of the tune. And that would be true of Oscar Peterson too. But me criticizing Joe Pass is like a guy throwing darts at a blue whale.

Though you might not use this progression very often, you can take the concept out of this line and apply it to your playing, especially when ending a tune.
