The besty guitarist i ever met was an unheard genous in manchester who did nothing but practice 10 hours a day. He lived right above me and we became good friends. He did jazz gigs and that. Hope you take the time to listen to his soundcloud.

Thanks for posting in this obscure thread...
Well, I took the time to listen to a lot of the cuts provided and no offense, and I did heard a very competent guitarist, however, I did not hear much, if any, jazz.

Here is a swinging jazz guitarist to my ears...

Thanks Pin, I don't know how I overlooked Django.
One of the all time greats. He only had three good fingers on his hand...yikes!
I also have not yet included Charlie Christian or Oscar Moore

The Woody Allen movie Sweet and Lowdown is sort of a tribute to Django.
It is about a fictional guitarist named Emmet Ray (Sean Penn) who considers himself to be the second best guitarist in the world, Django is number one!!!
Good flick with great music.
Howard Alden plays the guitar, Penn pretends.

When I was in my teens I lived close to the Lighthouse on pier ave hermosa and got to whatch many Jazz players from the front door, I was to young to get in so I just watched and listened from the front door. I really liked Joe Pass and Barney Kessel oh and what about Tommy Tedesco

My favorite Bireli Lagrene recording. Most amazing solo starting at 1:17:26 and from 1:25:22 he plays his fretless electric bass.
