Except for Jazz, my guitar interests are almost all acoustic. I especially like, and my only formal study was in, classical guitar.

Nobody has mentioned Jeff Beck yet? Is the forum broken or something? ?

There's quite a bit of stuff, guitar-wise since you asked, that I like. And play. I'm really bad with jazz guitar but I've played folk acoustic for a long time and some of that is finger style. Really like Bruce Cockburn, solo especially, and lots of other people, some mentioned above, playing in that style.
One of the other styles that takes up a significant amount of my listening time is electroacoustic, or acousmatic. That's not an acoustic/electric guitar as some people tend to think. That's computer processed music. And there is often a guitar involved as a sound source. But very, very different than jazz, or most other genres as well come to think of it.
As an example, this is a link to my radio program and the Oliver Carman work 'Electric Strings' uses guitar as one of the sound sources.

Ana Vidovic and Pavel Steidl are two great Eastern European CG's. Perhaps they still maintain "old school" standards of excellence and artistry of the past.

I love listening to guitar music and I listen to all sorts (other than metal and classic rock). Flamenco (and some of it's spin offs) get lots of play here. Some "next generation" surf like James Wilsey, John Blakely, The Vanduras. Instrumental rock including Jeff Beck, Lari Basilio, and Ray Montford (a brilliant Canadian player). Some of the modern acoustic players from the Michael Hedges stream. Thanks to YouTube I get to watch John Knowles who I think is one of the most inspiring guitarists I've ever heard And when I want to become a better player, I watch Chet Atkins videos. There's lots more.

Regarding your... and likely my, generation. My initial learning was done at 16 rpm, at
half speed and an octave lower than concert pitch. It's almost too easy now.

I listen to lots of stuff but generally not guitar stuff.
This is something else tho'

I kinda like stuff like this. Not particularly advanced, but great if you're working .. or even on a long walk.
-
Marinero I would be willing to make the sacrifice to go and see Ms. Rhyzkova in person.
I may even look at the guitar.
Maybe. ?

It occurred to me that I left out the three guitarists that I've listened to the most over the last few years: Dominic Miller, Cenk Erdogan and Antonio Forcione. They've all veered towrds jazz at times but none of the three would really be considered "jazz" guitarists.

However, when I finally saw her perform live (early 90's) in a northern Chicago suburb, her sound was weak/thin and I was very disappointed. It was then I realized that a musician's talent is a combination of technique, interpretation and sound . . . a difficult trio to master. However, sound, IMO, is a function of personality and many great technical players lack convincing sound and that's a whole other discussion.
