How come I don know any of these guitar players. Where are the big guys like Benson or Scofield?
Lyle: You may not know who these guitar players are (yet) but that doesn’t make them any less interesting. These are individuals who give their all to this music and thus, should be acknowledged and appreciated for what they do. Basically they are the “blue collar” workers of Jazz Guitar and if you are seriously thinking about a career as a Jazz Guitar player you need to hear what they have to say, since they are living the life that so many of us want to accomplish. This is not to slight the higher profiles guitar players and if it happens that I may one day be able to interview them as well, then so be it. But for now, I think there are Jazz Guitar players in the trenches who can provide the reader with much valued insight into being a day by day Jazz Guitar player.
