jazz came from ragtime, blues and ur military music. but that doesn't mean jazz is blues or the other way round. it is totally different. get ur facts rite.
btw i cant believe no one mention tuck andress. joe pass is a great jazz guitarist too. for good scat singers, try al jarreau and ella fitzgerald. for great jazz pianist, listen to art tatum, bill evans, chick corea and hiromi.

To the interested thread starter: first of all. please ignore the arguments.
now, let's talk bout beginning jazz guitars.
First things first,
While in the midst of listenin to jazz, do listen to the horns section as well. or rather, closely.
And then if you haven't got your blues right enough,
GO (!) Get Your Blues Right.
After which you would have easier understandin to jazz.
And believe it or not, JimiHendrix is very jazz-based too.
good luck!

has any1 check out chris standring ? he's sorta like a low profile jazz player i guess. he's a guitarist. i wonder what kinda scales and chords he uses, really like his style alot. hope any1 here wud be able to help me figure it out hehe. just google em or youtube, sure to find him there.
Erm, I'm not asking you to listen to his singing(And yes, he has a great voice). The music of his songs has a lot of jazz influences.
Music and/or the “genre” as they call it now is all about the “attitude” and not quite the musical instrument through which such attitude is “EMOTED”.
Double bass, YES – but NIL guitar herein. This would be a good “intro” to what a “classic” of jazz is. 5/4 was most certainly UNCOMMON back then.

It’d be BEST that one gets “settled and comfortable” with the “1-2-3-4” of good ol’ BLUES and/or what is rockNroll, and eerrr …. .. . etceteras that came later.
CHANGE can be a PAIN. Take people for what they are and there’s no particular need to …. .. .. .. eerrr ….

hey, thanks softies (Guitarist, fenderjazz, lou5y,dwaynetan,milkmesto) and those who provided to the slightest inputs of this thread.
i am trying very hard to listen to all the musicians that you guys had recommended. John Mclaughlin is cool. Currently i am lost in identifying types of jazz. E.g (swing jazz, latin jazz). Is there anymore sites to learn jazz guitar?
PS
To those who had arguments, i appreciate if you guys do not argue anymore over here. pls settle your disputes over PM. if possible, i hope those parties involved(whether right or wrong) could remove hostile comments by editing your posts
