That is sweet! I love those tones. Kinda like some of the older George Benson I used to listen to. I like that stuff too! Also Earl Klugh.
 
Jimmy is da man... he plays so well and looks like without effort.. if you haven't yet, checkout his website for some of his tips..and scales..
 
Great stuff. I love this kind of thing.

I used to have a guitar teacher that played in this style and he was a wealth of knowledge about music in general. I was embarrased to play in front of him :-) He kicked my butt. I'm still trying to learn how to do more of this kind of thing. (it's a life-long effort for me)

But I find that working on Jazz helps me understand other music better. Even if I don't get be be as good of a Jazz player as I'd like, it helps me to play rock, blues, and other styles better because it forces you to understand what's going on musically. Jazz is kind of like doing musical calisthenics.
