Maybe you can play jazz guitar while I work on my 'jazz hands routine'? What do you say? Ah one and a two and JAZZ HANDS!

Scofields new album.

Well I decided to dust off this old thread with this creative solo from one of my favorite guitarists.

Although, I have to admit that I greatly prefer the pre-electric Miles.

ha, Scofield starts that solo very blues based and then jazz fusion and gets further out as the solo goes on.
Almost as if it was intended to be that way?

what's it like to love jazz guitar but literally hate black people with visceral disdain?

Yes, I agree

I love Pat Martino, and I like the album you posted, which was released in '74, I think.
Here are Sco and Martino trading tasty licks in '02...yummy!

RIP Larry.

Larry Coryell, a virtuoso guitarist who in the 1960s was among the first musicians to bring a rock sound and sensibility to jazz, and who continued to blur the lines between genres throughout his career, died on Sunday in Manhattan. He was 73.

Here is Larry from 1975

Super high quality video and audio of the late, great Wes Montgomery!

Howard Roberts taught one of my best friends to play. What's not known is Howard often played jazz on a Tele. Howard had a saying I totally agree with: "Wah wah pedals are for pussies."

Hendrix was great. But he was a pussy.
