Benjamin	joe pass, why is he the greatest guitarist (60* d)	RE: joe pass, why is he the greatest	27 Dec 03
Joe Pass is certainly one of my favorte players. While I agree with the problems of trying to rate players, especially without any real context, Joe Pass had incredible technical comand. His improvisations and his phrasing to me are absolutely ingenious. A guitarist could learn something from his playing, no matter what style they choose to play. As for modern virtuosos, I'd recomend Roland Dyens. He's one of the top improvisers out there today.
