Pat Martino: Creative Force

PAT MARTINO: CREATIVE FORCE / Complete 2-Volume Instructional Series

This two-volume series is the most complete documentation of Pat Martino's guitar system ever recorded. Across 40 chapters, Martino walks through the theory and technique behind his entire approach, starting with the diminished concept, building through minor conversion in all 12 keys, and working up through improvising over chord changes, turnarounds, and the blues.

Volume 1 covers the foundation: diminished forms, building chords from diminished shapes, minor conversion across all positions and keys, and full fingerboard demonstrations. It's the system that influenced a generation of jazz guitarists, explained by the man himself.

Volume 2 goes deeper with minor conversion over chords, improvising over changes and turnarounds, the augmented concept, and full performances including blues and "Country Road." Both volumes include extended interviews where Martino talks about technique, dynamics, strings, picks, his custom guitar, his influences, Wes Montgomery, and what he's learned over a lifetime of playing.

If you want to understand how Pat Martino actually thought about the guitar, this is it.
