After spending a good many years practicing fingerstyle guitar changed recently to gypsy jazz. Now learning to use a plectrum. I've learnt quite a lot about Freddie Green-style rhythm playing & have a good understanding of harmony etc
Trouble is, starting to realise gypsy jazz (discounting fiddle - or accordion/clarinet) really needs 2 guitars.
I'm probably not capable of playing a great improvised solo but can manage the melody line (with a few imbellishments) and good accompaniment
