@jimraw1 lol the rolling stone top 100 guitar players has Angus Young in it, Kurt Cobain on twelve, Kirk Hammett on eleven. That already states that the list is really invalid, these three guys are far from being 'top guitar players'. Just like about 89 percent of the rest of the list.
A shame that there weren't people like Wes Montgommery or Django Reinhardt.

@jimraw1 but then I wish Jazz had the recognition it deserved.
Well. When swing was around in the 40's it was Pop music. Django Reinhardt was a popstar. Nowadays You hear a lot of intelectual jazz. The groove is gone man. I understand why people don't like jazz these days.

Used to listen to my albums of Wes Montgomery as a Freshman at the University of Nebraska..........25 yrs later upon visiting Dad (a World War II veteran) that he had kept my albums for me, and unbeknownst to me really enjoyed them too......better than any sedative.........relax and dream away jeanne

What can you say... impeccable, one of the most natural melodic players in the history of jazz, to say nothing of the gorgeous tone and fluid phrasing.
Even the comping is awesome...

@jc1762 Its not just Wes - it's all Jazz, classical and country guitarists in general. Anytime you see a magazine (or a video on You Tube) listing the greatest guitarists of all time, 99 percent of the time it's Rock. You're more likely to see Hendrix or Van Halen or Slash than Wes Montgomery - not to mention Chet Atkins, Paco de Lucia, Vince Gill, Andres Segoiva and countless others. I wish Wes had the recognition he deserved - but then I wish Jazz had the recognition it deserved.

How the hell is this guy not more famous than Hendrix? Don't get me wrong, I used to worship Hendrix when I first started playing guitar, but Wes is leaps and bounds beyond what Hendrix did in the same era. Discovering Wes after listening to Hendrix feels so inexplicably unfair. I still can't believe I didn't know about Wes before.
Honestly makes me question what the hell I've been listening to all this time.
