From Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to the new greats of today, this is the place for Jazz!

RE: Only one question

he was certainly a groundbreaking innovator wasn't he! I'll take a stab at answering ... by using four note 'generic' chords, open voicings and derivatives while applying right hand alternate picking and 'flamenco roll' technique he basically established 'gypsy jazz' as a virtuoso in the mainstream when jazz WAS pop music ... to do so with his disability is the stuff of genius and legend ... which of course you already know!

though he utilized different scales, early be-bop guitar pioneer Chuck Wayne, without derivation, incorporated some of those concepts into his own system and approach though it was centered around scales typical to horns ... particularly Charlie Parker's playing, and earned a lot of cherry top flight gigs doing so ... of course you've heard his work

as you can probably tell, they're both in my pantheon of guitar heroes!

hope that helps!
