I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a couple of solo guitar players and some albums of their's? I'm looking for some jazz artists who play stuff sorta like Impermenence, Chatterbox, parts of Rheghinos and Ressurection, etc...I'd really appreciate it! I'm trying to learn more stuff like that...again, thanks a lot! |

I've been listening to a TON of King Crimson lately. Robert Fripp is an amazing guitarist, so I'd definatley reccomend them, or any of his solo stuff. He has an ambient album with Brian Eno called "Equatorial Stars" that sounds a lot like some of the soundscape stuff that TR does with his pedals. |

To boot for enthuTIMsiast, both the Chyrsalis and Capitol Years records from Kottke are great, I think Chrysalis is my fave of the two.
For Bossa Nova, find anything with a Gilberto attached to it, be it Asrtid, Joao, or Bebel. And any Antonio Carlos Jobim record you could get would be wise, maybe a Greatest Hits to get you started. |

I love TIM, but I love LEO just as much. To call either "plain" in any sense would be travesty. Unless you're saying that they both plain kick ass, and even that use is suspect.
I'd recommend starting with "6 and 12 string guitar", but the Anthology (3 disc set) would be nice and comprehensive. Also if you're in BMG (eek), you could get "The Instrumentals: The Best of the Chrysalis Years" and "The Best of the Capitol Years."
Those would be my suggestions. And if you're still not satisfied, then go see a live show by LEO. He's always on tour, and he goes all over the place, so if you wait a few months he'll be near you. Well, except now because he's about to go on tour with Mike Gordon, so nevermind. Check anyway, though. |

Hmm...I believe a friend let me listen to some Addison Groove once or twice...or maybe it was MedeskiMartinWood...not sure. I'll defintely try to get some Joe Pass stuff :-) And if you could recommend a certain Kottke album please?

Bossa nova rocks man, but never heard of them. Any specific albums you've heard that you've liked, Hopeful?
Thanks a lot for all your advice :D |

I am kinda getting into bossa nova stuff, very cool, very jazzy. Check out Joao Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim. |

Joe Pass. Different, but great. Leo Kottke. Tim definitely has his own vibe, but there are lots of other great acoustic players out there and try looking for some guys who have done classical stuff and now do their own thing. Lots of great guys coming up from south of the border like from brasil and argentina. Ralph Towner (? I think from Oregon [the group]) is really great too. |
