In this article, I\u2019ll be taking a look at some of the best jazz guitarists throughout the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Charlie Christian<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the electric guitar in the 1930s, most guitarists in big bands were just part of the rhythm section. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Charlie_Christian\">Charlie Christian<\/a> changed that and can be credited for bringing the guitar to the front of the stage (and thus feeding countless guitarist egos\u2026). Although he died at 25, he is still considered one of the greats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"max-width:489px; margin-bottom:2rem;\">\n  <iframe width=\"489\" height=\"272\"\n    data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x52x5hjpD5k\"\n    style=\"width:100%; height:272px; display:block;\"\n    frameborder=\"0\"\n    allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; web-share\"\n    referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"\n    allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\">\n  <\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Joe Pass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Charlie Christian brought guitars to the front in jazz, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joe_Pass\">Joe Pass<\/a> took it to the next level. His solos are incredible, and he is the perhaps one of the few musicians who can claim to be virtuoso. So much, in fact, that he released four albums called Virtuoso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"max-width:489px; margin-bottom:2rem;\">\n  <iframe width=\"489\" height=\"272\"\n    data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p_kUJa1PueM\"\n    style=\"width:100%; height:272px; display:block;\"\n    frameborder=\"0\"\n    allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; web-share\"\n    referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"\n    allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\">\n  <\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Jim Hall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jazz can be tricky at times, especially because the players want to cram so many notes into an impossibly short space of time. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jim_Hall_(musician)\">Jim Hall<\/a> could also do that with the best of them, but was more economically minded in his playing.
