The jazz-type guitar was born as a result of using electric amplification to increase the volume of conventional acoustic guitars.
Conceived in the early 1930s, the electric guitar became a necessity as jazz musicians sought to amplify their sound. Arguably, no other musical instrument had greater influence on how music evolved since the beginning of the twentieth century. Although the earliest guitars used in jazz were acoustic and acoustic guitars are still sometimes used in jazz, most jazz guitarists since the 1940s have performed on an electrically amplified guitar or electric guitar.
Traditionally, jazz electric guitarists use an archtop with a relatively broad hollow sound-box, violin-style f-holes, a "floating bridge", and a magnetic pickup. Solid body guitars, massed produced since the early 1950s, are also used.
Jazz guitar playing styles include "comping" with jazz chord voicings (and in some cases walking bass lines) and "blowing" (improvising) over jazz chord progressions with jazz-style phrasing and ornaments. Comping refers to playing chords underneath a song's melody or another musician's solo improvisations. When jazz guitar players improvise, they may use the scales, modes, and arpeggios associated with the chords in a tune's chord progression.

This song is pure nostalgia. It reminds me of my daughter running happily across the schoolyard when she was just 6 years old. And today she is 14 years old. Every time I hear this song I remember it.
Thank you Pat.

Ennio Morricone's Cinema Paradiso theme is one of the most beautiful pieces of music that's ever been written and when you put it in the hands of two world class act musicians in Pat Metheny & Charlie Haden, you get an absolute masterpiece.
@silviobpas
I think you're totally right! Not only the genius P. Metheny gets to touch us with his tunes, but also C. Haden makes his double bass sounds great and definitely important. Applauses for them!
@tejaswoman
Just think: it wasn't even nominated that year at the Oscars.
@WarhawkBeyond2040
@tejaswoman that's an absolute crime, it deserved a nomination
@jurajkovac9965
@WarhawkBeyond2040 No, it should have won.
@WarhawkBeyond2040
@Juraj Kovac you're absolutely right, it should have won
@phartweg3324
More than world class, it is heaven, simply a masterpiece. Thank you Ennio Morricone, Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden!

I have seen many many brilliant artists and bands perform live in either small venues or massive sold out stadiums. Seeing Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden performing the entire Beyond The Missouri Sky in a small congress hall in Zurich in 2002 has to be for me one of the best performances I’ve attended. The music spoke volumes 💜💜💜

To listen Pat Metheny is always a previledge of being alive.. Pat Metheny, to me, is on a elevated level.. In his Music He expresses Love, Highly positive joy, happyness, Pure beauty and deep tender.
May the Universe keep him here on Earth for a Very Long Time... I Love Him!
