    Dunno if Nels Cline qualifies here, since he already is.

    I love Tiny but I don't know that I'd put him in this category.

    Also: John McLaughlin (see "Right Off")

    John Scofield (his Chuck Berry riffs on "IJ" with the Adams/Pullen Quartet, plus other excursions too numerous to mention.)

    Larry Coryell (his original feedback forays with Gary Burton, plus his fusion catalogue)

    Yeah, Sco's a good one. There is a track on Groove Elation (the last CD of his, so far, that I really loved, and a while back, now)where he quotes an entire chorus of "My Babe" within one of his own compositions.

    Vancouverites Tony Wilson & Ron Samworth would be good examples.

    Is Ribot a jazz guitarist? He played on a lot of rock sessions before anybody in the jazz or downtown world ever heard of him. He's also an excellent classical guitarist--check out his recording of the Haitian Suite by his mentor Frantz Casseus.

    Lots of people mentioned on this thread may already have been great rockers before they became known as "jazz guitarists." Pete Cosey's on Electric Mud, right? Some of the musicians mentioned are so multi-genre that it's often a chicken & egg question.

    Ribot was regularly picked up by r&b heavies passing through town, not to mention his stints with Tom Waits & Elvis Costello.

    ...he's an improviser, too, so that places him in the jazz box. Really, he's a renaissance guitarist.

    Masayuki Takayanagi, maybe. He might be a little too dissonant for rock.

    Seeing John McLaughlin jam with Santana and Clapton, he could definitely be a great rock and roll hootchie koo axe man.
