    Have any of you guitarists played at a jazz festival recently?

    No, I've never played a strictly jazz guitar festival.

    If you haven’t done so already, check out what Peter Henriksen (Henriksen Amps) is doing with an annual Jazz Guitar Festival in Arvada, Colorado.

    I played a few in the summer, but not specifically jazz guitar festivals. Don't think there's something specific about organizing a guitar festival, other than it's greatly targeted towards guitar fans.

    I've also curated a two day jazz festival in the past, it's lots of work, especially if you haven't done anything similar in the past.

    No, I play jazz.

    No, I get it, even over here in the UK. While I do actually play jazz at some jazz festivals, I'm very much in the minority as most of the performers are anything but jazz. Still, I enjoy it and the atmosphere is almost always good. You gotta take the gigs, even when they don't sound promising. Today's gig on a college campus with some seasoned pros was magic.

    Wait you mean to say jazz isn’t brass band renditions of top 40 pop hits?

    Nowadays it seems to be anything without a drum machine.
