\*\*CookingWithGas \*\*- I remember that photo - or a photo of that room with different guitars in it - from a thread about folks’ gear! That archtop Hofner (2nd from left, for those not conversant in guitar-speak) looks very cool. Would love to hear a review of it, or even hear it, over in the GOGT (Great Ongoing Guitar Thread). Did you ever read the thread I started on the [Four Major Food Groups of Rock Guitar](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=551263)? In Post #27 I describe my relationship with jazz archtops :(😉 I wish I had the time to learn that language. As for the ES-335 and the Tele (3rd from left and left-most) - both look fun and cool. \*\*BBurke \*\*- thanks for joining; all good. Grappelli and Django in the Hot Club band were beyond awesome. [Here’s a link to a youtube clip](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY8NJX4tPUY&feature=related)- and notice the artwork interspersed with the other visuals…fits right into this thread. \*\*Nzinga \*\*- :snerk: - you got a better idea? 😃 I am pretty sure I have shared this before, but here’s Pat Metheny’s (a guitar player whose music I don’t always like but whom I deeply respect and who’s credibility is unquestioned in jazz circles) [take on Kenny G](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-mjt1ypiF8) and [here’s a text interview](http://www.jazzoasis.com/methenyonkennyg.htm)where he goes into a LOT more detail - the hate radiates off the page. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hate-jazz-but-wish-you-knew-a-bit-more-about-why-a-jazz-101-thread/563031)._
