Still, Swing may be my favorite music in recent years, it does not keep me from enjoying all sorts of other genres. For example, I followed the link to your youtube channel, listened to a couple tunes (Redline and Vanthrax) and I quite enjoyed the groove. And many (most?) of my musical friends play other stuff than Swing anyway.

Actually, I have none. I can't listen to guitarist out of context, except when I specifically give it a try.
However, in my life I tried to make some songs reminiscent the following, better said the bands they played in:
Chuck Berry
George Harrison
Keith Richards
Frank Zappa
Tom Morello

I listen to many players for many different reasons but I guess these are the guys I always come back to simply because I dig their music on a gut level (ie not for more left brain reasons like analyzing technique etc):
Scofield
Frisell
Wes
Grant
Leo Nocentelli (early Meters stuff)
Will Bernard
(I have a much bigger list of players I enjoy but tried to keep to OP's parameters!)Last edited by Jazzpunk; 09-18-2013 at 08:35 PM.
