What's a "jazz chord" anyway? 4 notes or more?
The Allman Brothers used major and minor 7ths, as did Santana and Clapton. Hendrix had his 7#9 chord ad nasuem. I'm sure even the Grateful Dead used a few Major7ths.
Does Robben Ford count as a "non-jazz" player?

Brian Setzer. He took lessons from from a jazz player when he was a teenager, and it shows.
George Harrison--he liked to use a lot of diminished chords...he called them 'nasty' chords!

Paul simon has had some really good guitarist play with him in recent years. Vincent Nguini from cammeroon is the only one i know off hand though.

Robben Ford isn't a jazz guitarist, even if he does have some experience there.
But it really depends on what you define as a jazz chord, personally I dont believe such a thing exists.

Now if we could get him to break out his Super400 now and then.
His "unplugged" "Authorized Bootleg" CD recorded at Yoshi's is about as jazzy as I've heard from him play.

Mind you, there is one that has a diminished run up the bass in the chorus, and in writing this and since l understand a bit more than l did about jazz (thanks to all on this site), l just had the idea of jazzin up the solo on it...coz l can! Wow! I'll shut up now. Sorry for rambin!

I saw Beck open for Santana in the mid 1990s, twice. He was terrible. Not the fusion-Beck I once knew.
