Is Chet atkins jazz? There's definitely a lot of jazz in his playing, i guess his playing covered multiple genres.
Blooz, I'm not really sure where a good place to start is. Probably the first jazz guitar album I got was "chester and Lester" by les Paul and Chet Atkins. In fact, I'm going to listen to it now. I'd say it's a good place to start. These two old guys could play as good as anyone these days. The album won a Grammy award for best country instrumental, which is kind of strange. I think it's jazzier than it is country.
