Wait I’m really confused now lol
You articulate the ands with a pick stroke and slur into the on beat notes. This I understand as ‘slurring into downbeats’
but I recall djg sharing an example of a player doing this and being negative about it

But for what it’s worth, doodle tonguing would seem to imply a good bit of articulated beats and slurred “ands.”
Really is kind of a crazy world out there.

Guitarists in general just don’t think about it much. Part of it is probably technical—we just can’t shape stuff the way a trumpet can. But still. Interesting.

To my ear, saxophone, in the right hands, is more expressive, but there's a lot guitarists can do.

Yeah there’s a lot guitarists can do, but the time comes to call it jazz, we tend to forget about it all.
Not to mention, we don’t put much thought into it.
Ask a guitar player when they slur and they usually say: when I want to play faster.
Ask a saxophonist when the slur and they say: depends on the line.
Articulation is inseparable from rhythm and shape.

I think about articulation all the time. But, if I had Tal Farlow's chops, maybe I wouldn't.
I left an important one out: palm muting. In fact, muted notes in general, including the muted string in the middle of a Wes octave.
