Sent Jack an intro to myself as a guitar player, where I have been, all the way to where I am at, and I am also sending him a video of my current playing for context. It should give any good teacher...
Johnny Smith and George Van Eps's compilation recording, two very different styles of solo guitar. Peter Bernstein's solo album recorded live at Small's. Gene Bertoncini's solo albums, Quiet...
