[Dixielandjazz] The guitar in Trad Jazz

[Kent Murdick]

Someone asked a few weeks ago how to play the guitar in Trad Jazz. 
Guitar instruction videos can be found on my playlists.  It's "Big Band 
Rhythm Guitar".  The guitar was the original jazz instrument, but the 
banjo was found to better for reccording and playing in the street..  
The first recording of the Maple Leaf  Rag was done on banjo instead of 
piano for this reason.
