Guitarists should be able to pick up the guitar and play music on it for an hour, without a rhythm section or anything.
"Joe Pass" was an American virtuoso jazz guitarist of Sicily/Sicilian descent. He is generally considered to be one of the greatest jazz guitarists of the 20th century. His extensive use of walking basslines, melodic counterpoint during improvisation, use of a chord-melody style of playing and outstanding knowledge of chord inversions and chord progression/progressions opened up new possibilities for the jazz guitar and had a profound influence on later guitarists.
