    Default More jazz guitar options

    I really like the jazz guitar trio, but would also like to see some kind of Freddie Green and/or Western Swing setup.

    The Gypsy Jazz option seems a bit staccato for me. I was expecting more of a long-short-long-short strum pattern that could double for Western swing. Would like to hear the bass ring a little more, and the guitar strums just a little broader—even on Freddie Green style chunk-chunks.

    As a clarinet player, I prefer guitar accompaniment, and the tone on your guitar trio option is very tasty. Would just like to have a couple more options—particularly with Freddie Green voicing and tessitura.

    Thanks for your comments.
    There are many disparate styles that would benefit from having an “in-two”, boom-chuck feel available.

    Certainly Western swing, bluegrass, Country, Celtic, Polka as well as Dixie/Trad as an alternative to Trad Jazz or Second-Line.
