Hi all,
I'm looking for an authoritative list of great jazz tunes written by jazz guitarists
Wes, Metheny, Sco and Hall have all written tons of great stuff. I'm looking for other guitarist's contributions. Any help would be great

I really like John Scofield's songs on his A Go-Go album like Chank, Green Tea, Boozer. Really fun to play.

A "Parker 51" is a rare and collectible fountain pen. Apparently JR was sent one by Parker pens for honouring them with the name check in the song title. The story goes, Stan Getz claimed ownership of the pen, because he led the group that recorded the tune !.
I also really like " A farewell To Alms" written by Tal Farlow,
and "Motivation" by Billy Bean, ( it's a killer).

a while ago Someone here suggested the tune
Jean De Fleur
It was a great suggestion
great tune to play, it's a lot of fun, and guitar friendly

Place du Tertre - Bireli Lagrene
I'll Take Les - Sco
Al Green Song - Sco
Calvin's Key - Pat Metheny

I wonder what Raney meant by Puby La Keg?
Tal wrote some swinging tunes in the 50s- "Meteor", "And She Remembers Me" (anybody know the joke behind that one?), "Gibson Boy", "Tina", Rock,n Rye" and Telefunky".

Joe Pass didn't write many tunes but 'For Django' is a waltz with a great set of changes:
