This was an absolutely fascinating read. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole story. I'm gonna come back to read it again dry so I can really digest my feelings about it.

I've been studying a few jazz guitarists lately to try and lift some of those great chords and my two personal favorites are Ted Greene and Lenny Breau. However, any cursory investigation of jazz guitar would be incomplete without listening to a least a bit of Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, and Django Reinhardt.

On the more modern and less guitar centric end of things, I've personally been absolutely smitten with Brad Mehldau lately, and Kneebody is all the west coast jazz students are talking about nowadays.
