Me too - just a huge music fan in general. John McLaughlin is one of my favorite guitarists of all time - other jazz favorites include Kenny Burrell, Bireli Lagrene (more recently), Pat Metheny (of course), Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Miles, Coltrane, Trio Bobo, Bill Evans, to name a few...Long time jazz lover here. Jazz of all kinds. Love jazz guitar and jazz piano.
If so, Canadian jazz guitarist here...drop me a note, let's chat!
Cheers!
While I love seeing small jazz combos featuring a guitar, as far as stuff I like listening to I'm an undying fanboy of Allan Holdsworth. He's right there in my avatar, making the best expression I've ever seen on a human face.
He is the fucking man!
Good call on Holdsworth (I thought that was him in your avatar, Qua!!!) Guthrie also is a freak of human nature, so versatile and utilizes speed so eloquently and melodically... some of the be-bop lines that Shawn Lane (R.I.P.) lays down on Barua a Soldani (track 5) of his "Time is the Enemy" album are scary. Holdsworth is likely SL's biggest GUITAR influence; as a lot of his heroes are non-guitarists.yeah, allan holdsworth is amazing. Incredible legato and fluidity. If you like Holdsworth, you should all like Guthrie Govan and Pat Metheny.

Hmmm... Apparently my message was too short for the system so here it is again. If the first one does make it, sorry for the repeat.
Let's not forget Tal Farlow. He had an interesting way of managing frets, fingering the top four strings and using his thumb for the two lowest. Interesting chords. Great guitarist.
Kevin Eubanks albums are not too bad. And Marley, I own some George Benson records. You too young to remember what records, are?
