I am a guitarist, and I'm exploring the world of jazz.
Do you know any jazz sub-genres that its songs have as leading instrument the guitar(electric, jazz or acoustic)? I have listened to a few songs with lead guitar and piano or strings as backing instruments, but it was on the radio and i can't find any others. So, What is this music genre? What should i look for?
