A Nashville player, flirts with some jazz stylings mixed in with his mostly Nashville thing. Not really twangy, more of that southern Allman Brothers type of tone. I've posted this before, still get a kick out or it.

I definitely hear some twang in a lot of Bill Frisell's playing.

... I think it's an interesting study, given that a lot of early bebop guitar came from down south and the mid west. If Charlie Christian is the father of modern jazz guitar, and he has that Oklahoma sound, than modern jazz guitar is tied to various incarnations of "country music" as much as it is tied to "uptown blues guitar" and the "jazz idiom". I think the ties to the blues are often discussed ad nauseam (though I love "uptown city" blues and "down home south" blues) but the ties to country are often swept under the floor ....

Jazz guitar is connected to country, but for the better part of it, Jazz is not connected to guitar.
