Being into all sorts of music I have learned to appreciate a wide range of styles ranging from Heavy Metal to Rap. Classical To Jazz.
I remember years ago Stanley Jordan and Al Di Meola at the top of their game as Jazz Guitarist.
This is the first I have heard of Andy Mckee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvar4ZsqsEo&mode=related&search=) <--click and Don Ross (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsgKVkTVX_E) <--click Definately worth a listen.
Another one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbndgwfG22k&mode=related&search=)

I grabbed one too but the strings were so rusty on my Strat I believe I'm going to need a tetanus shot :D
Nice Ovation BTW. ;)

That was some crazy talent. But I bet they couldn't play Stairway to Heaven! :D Makes me want to sell my guitar stuff and stick to drinking beer. I'm good at that.

The double fat strat is getting ready to go on Ebay. Custom built swamp ash Fender. Are you interested?

[Cheap Thrills]

I wish I was in the posistion to give it a home. I'm having to take part of my vacation money and fix my damn Heap (Jeep). What are you going to ask for it ? It's identical to mine with the exception of mine is single coil pickups.

Its a Fender swamp ash body, Fender '73 Tele thinline humbuckers, a Fender '62 reissue neck, custom routing for the pickups and custom pickguard. I have 2 other strats and just dont play it enough. I get nothing but compliments on it....but I need to "thin the herd". I'm going to put it up with a "buy it now" for $550.
My main axe is the '59 strat (3rd from left on bottom row)...its NOT a re-issue either....:D :D

CT , I like Al Di Meola Joe Pass and Satriani for jazz . Saw Jeff Beck in person at the Commodore a few years back , and I tell you he was as good as he is on records & CD's . I grew up on The Shadows , The Spotnicks , Ventures and so on , and play those mostly . Started practising Les Paul stuff
[ diffficult because of his multi trackings :eek: ] in the early 60's .
I have a Guild Starfire IV with Bigsby tremolo . Django Reinhard's music is by far my favorite , especially with Stephane Grapelli .

Allright ! Definately some familiar names in the bunch. All excellemt musicians.
I cut my jazz teeth on groups like Weather Report, Spyro Jyra , Manheim Steamroller, and Flim and the BBs.
They are a little hard to find but If you can find any albums by Flimm & The BBs you wont be disappointed.
Lets see some pics of that Guild. ;)

CT , I'll post some pic later , cause it's on my home puter ;) It's a beauty !
Used to have a Super Twin Reverb tube amp [ heavy mother ] , but
replaced it with a smaller unit just to fool around with .I'm waiting to snatch a real Duesy from a friend of mine who's uncle [ ex local jazz musician] has a Gibson L7 . He's in an old age home in Scotland [ 95+ yrs old ] and he won't part with the Gibson till he dies . I'll take a picture of that one too . It's in OK shape , no case but the neck is straight , frets are OK and has a good sound .
