There are a number of jazz guitarists including Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, Les Paul, Charlie Christian, those who have changed our lives forever. Just like any other type of music, jazz is a feeling inside your soul. And history has shown (regardeless on what's going on in the mainstream) that there are still many musicians today who are very passionate about the music they create, and how it represents their overall personality. Yes Jazz music has changed over the past several decades, but there have been so many musicians wh have taken this style of music to a new level. One of the most fascinating musicians of our time was Django Reinhardt. What made this man so special was his level of persistence. After such a terrible accident, where lost the use of his fingers on his left hand, he proceeded as a guitarist, vcreating a new innovative style with whatever he had left.

This man proved that his love for jazz music was never ending and that it came from asomewhere within. As a musician, you should do whatever it takes to discover your true talents, and what style of music represents who you are.
