    The last time I've posted this question, I generally received the answer
    "it depends on the recording."

    OK, so I went back to his recordings and also read the tabs of "virtuoso," but I really can't tell for sure which style he played each song. (They
    all kind of sound like finger-picking but I don't know.)

    Could somebody assure me of the definite style of the following songs?

    Sweet Lorraine
    Have You Met Miss Jones?
    'Round Midnight
    (All of them from "Virtuoso.")

    Thank you

    If anyone has the Joe Pass instructional videos from the the mid eighties, Joe mentions that he hardly ever uses a pick. He says he used to, and that it was one he would cut smaller. He doesn't say why he moved away from the pic but does say, you feel
    the guitar in a closer way. He also said that even though he doesn't use the pic that much, he still holds onto it when playing only because of familiarity reasoning, and that its all just in his mind, but he said its not something to analyze. Its
    obvious that his solo guitar work didn't need the pick, but his work with a full band did need the pick, and he did use it.

    He was and will always be the Great Virtuoso.
