@GuitarLessonsByVideo Also Quentin Warren on youtube who is seen playing a Strat in 1964 with Jimmy Smith.. Also Ed Bickert, who uses a Telecaster. Oh yes, it's totally the player and not so much the guitar. I have an interview with Joe where he speaks about the Synanon days and he mentions "You can really skate on those solid body Fenders"".

@macuser2 I agree that its more in the fingers and soul but Fender guitars sound great for jazz, and have a unique clarity for chord-melody. Check out Ted Greene, his main axe was a Tele.

@lamborn55 This guitar was out of a band closet that he used in the sounds of synonon group as part of his recovery right after prison.

Joe plays very well here, but overall, Barney is the better jazz guitarist .

@kd4jvg Nope! He had the choice of having the worlds greatest hair, or being the worlds best jazz guitarist!
I think we all know what he chose!
Joe lost his hair at an early age due to a fret board fire LOLZ

@bobgure I know it has been a long time since this post, but man HOW TRUE. Don't get me wrong, gear can be fun, but real players sound great on anything.
