Just thought I'd ask as a newby to the forum - it's kind of the big enthusiasm of mine, especially the older-school guys like Wes Montgomery and Barney Kessel, Joe Pass etc. etc. I do also like current players too though, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Mike Stern, could go on. As far as my own playing goes, it's jazz again really, and a bit of an interest in bluesy stuff also (of course the two go together quite well). Not so hot on the modern rock styles, although I do enjoy hearing it done well, and I'd certainly count myself as a Guthrie Govan fan.

I like type (i) - my grandfather (d 1931) played trumpet and clarinet in a jazz band, which makes him a contemporary of the great Bix Biederbecke.
So in a nutshell, beyond The Belgian, I am unsure of guitar in a jazz concept.
Hmm.
my dad was a jazz saxophonist is his younger days and I grew up in a house filled with jazz music. Consequently I can't hear more than a bar or two without slipping in a blank state from which I awake in the Colombian jungle wearing only a pair of torn purple trollies.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
What most people think of jazz .... :-)
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
(I like jazz guitar Mike Stern back to Django/Charlie Christian)
