two awesome jazz guys. the first is charlie hunter on 8 string. its amazing that he holds down rytym, lead, and solo all at once sometimes. the second is tuck andress - an awesome fingerstyle jazz/ classical whatever guy. search these guys on youtube for more awesome stuff if you like this. there's plenty on there.

Cool - that 8 string looks frightening to play!

Charlie has a new one out - probably his best, and with the most rock elements out of anything I've heard from him. But don't be mistaken, it is jazz/fusion, not rock music.

Tuck is a very good player but he doesn't have much solo instrumental stuff to my knowledge. Mostly stuff with his wife on vocals.

Tuck (with or without Patti) is great. Another great jazz player IMO is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0n1lGmBkHw. Great sense of melody. Saw him years ago at the Liverpool Philharmonic - wonderful player and a really nice guy (and he even bought me a drink ).

Cheers,
Tony
