John Scofield and Larry Carlton are other good ones.

If I can give you advice as a jazz guitarist, don't just listen to good guitar players. Listen to good music and find how guitarists fit in, and what you can add as a guitarist. It helped me find what music I enjoyed playing and sparked creativity for me

Grant Green, Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, John McLaughlin in my opinion

also Les Paul and Kenny Burrell which aren't listed for some reason

>>74150148
don't listen to this guy he doesn't know what he's talking about

>>74150148
>Sonny Sharrock
listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about

>>74150367
yeah sure as long as you excuse the other 6 hacks on his list

>>74150148
Poser alert

>>74150335
What compilations/albums would you recommend for hearing the best work of Les Paul?

>>74150478
if you want good 50s pop with country influence listen to his stuff with mary ford

if you want well-produced county/blues jazz listen to his stuff with chet atkins

if you just want cool guitar playing listen to his capitol records stuff

As long as we're in agreement on Sharrock, I have no argument with you.

>>74150148
Free improv is not the same thing as jazz.

>>74150412
What makes any of them hacks?

>>74150937
the fact that they make free improv AKA hipster fodder. they may not be talentless hacks, but they're definitely hacks

>>74151049
What's wrong with free imrov?
