Virtuoso No. 4 is an album by American jazz guitarist Joe Pass, recorded in 1973 and released in 1983 (see 1983 in music). Originally a double-LP, it was re-issued in 1993 on CD with three additional tracks ("Weaselocity", "Blues for Pete", "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?").
Virtuoso No. 4 differs from the three previous Virtuoso releases in that it is performed on acoustic guitar instead of electric (with the exception of "Indian Summer").
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "The relatively little-known set finds the guitarist sounding very much like a self-sufficient orchestra, and although his tone is necessarily softer on acoustic than electric, he swings hard on the uptempo pieces."
