Jazz Guitar utube
Pat Martino and John Schofield Youtube
I was sitting at home listening to the Pat Martino CD We’ll be Together Again and then I realised that there maybe guitar players thatdon’t know this great jazz guitar legend. Pat has had a very interesting journey in life and recovered from a very serious illness. He is probably one of the most fluent players in the history of guitar. Here is is on Youtube video with another great contemporary jazz guitar player John Schofield. I saw John Schofield play in the early eighties in a guitar duet, I still haven’t recovered. 
Truly remarkable guitar playing if you care to look at it closely.
Wes Montgomery Youtube Jazz Guitar
When people have said Wes Montgomery was the worlds best jazz guitarist, very few jazz guitar ;players question it. When Wes played Round Midnight set the benchmark for all other jazz guitar players to be measured against. I’ts 36 years since I first heard this, and still today I’m in awe.
Martin Taylor Youtube – Georgia Jazz Guitar
Some years ago I asked Ike Isaacs, a former guitarist from Stephane Grapelli’s band, “who’s the best?” He didn’t hesitate at that time to respond Martin Taylor. Coming from Ike Isaacs it’s a BIG call because Ike had played with Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, Howard Roberts, Ed Bickert…. the list is so long that it’s a history of jazz guitar. Martin is a Scottish born guitar player, and at first when you watch or him play it may not be obvious how good he is. But follow his music around for a while and you’ll begin to notice how exceptional he is. He’s one of those players that matured at a young age.
Not all players need to look flash, scream or shred to show their greatness. Martin is no doubt one of the best players on the planet and most of the great jazz players are aware of his brilliance.
In this jzz guitar youtube video Martin Taylor is playing the jazz standard Georia on my Mind.
Wes Montgomery Youtube Jazz Guitar
Wes Montgomery is to jazz guitar what Jimi Hendrix is to rock guitar. I was 14 years old when someone took me to a record shop and said, “You like guitar, you better hear this guy”. From that moment on I was hooked and although I was very up to speed on who was hot in rock guitar, I had a passion for jazz guitar and also it was a style that I natural had a feel for as a player.
What guitar players need to realise about Wes Montgomery is he played with his thumb, not with a plectrum and nor was he a fingerstyle player. Wes is the benchmark that all jazz guitar players are measured by. He was very famous for his octave playing. His phrasing is perfect and as the late Ike Isaacs used to say to me about many of the guitar players out there, “they are just a bad version of Wes”. Anyone that has played for 30 years or so would get the idea straight away. As guitar players, particularly those that are jazz players, we owe a lot to or maybe I should say we can contribute a lot to Wes.
