Question Jazz guitarists to check out
I've never been a jazz guy.
But I quit my job to go back to school and get a music degree. All their guitar stuff is jazz based and its pretty new to me.
Other than Les Paul, Charlie Cristian, and Django, who are some players that a guy new to jazz should listen to? Particulaly some guys that I could listen to and be able to transcribe a solo, since I have to do 2 transcriptions every semester.

AFAIK, they've always gone by name, but I don't know too much about any of them, really.

Wes Montgomery is a definite must, I reccommend The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery and the live album Smokin' At The Half Note. Picking up a fake book would also be a good idea; the best one for your purposes would probably be the Hal Leonard-published "The Real Book", check it out

Also check out Joe Pass, Pat Martino and Kenny Burrell.

I LOVE Kenny Burrell.

For more contemporary guys, John Scofield and Mike Stern are worth a listen.

i was going to suggest allan holdsworth but... . Seriously though, check him out. A couple of greats that are amazing and shouldn't be too difficult to transcribe are Wes Montgomery and Jim Hall. All of the guitarists mentioned so far are excellent as well.

Do the transcriptions have to be of guitar players? If not, there are loads of other jazz instrumentallists that are loads of fun to play on guitar as well. Most of my inspiration these days comes from pianists and saxophonists ( Mcoy Tyner + John Coltrane especially )

I reached these keeeeds!
