    Heys...

    so this far I've fallen in love with Joe Pass. Some great stuff. What about any other jazz guitarists? (if possible guitar only, i disslike saxs and trompets in jazz, but guitars simply rock)
    Which would you recommend me?

    love,
    b

    Try Django Reinhart, really great music.
    You'd love him!

    reinhart is awesome.
    Also check out John Scofield, Frank Gambale and George Benson (he's also a virtuose)

    Checked the samples, I must say they sound quite good, although I still prefer Joe Pass to them. Joe Pass is the only jazz guitarist I've discovered so far, that only uses solo guitar and that's all. :) Anybody like that? Or perhaps, with the bass, but nothing else. No keyboards, no saxes, etc?

    Thanks anyway!
    Love,
    b

    the absolute best jazz guitarist on the planet, bar none: (seriously, check him out) Lenny Breau.


    plays seven-string(?!?) died in the 80's. most beautiful chord-melody solo stuff you'll ever hear in your life.

    No expert on jazz like but I guess John McClaughlin is one of the best
