Playing melody, harmony and bass for a jazz guitarist was not new
when Joe Pass did it so superbly. Check out George Van Eps (7 string
jazz guitar), Charlie Byrd (jazz on a classical guitar), Jim Hall,
Buddy Fite, Chet Atkins (solo guitar version of Souza's "Stars and
Stripes Forever" complete with piccolo obligato), Jimmy Wyble ("The
Art of Two Line Improvisation") etc., etc.

I know, hence my quotation marks around the word new, but it was Joe's
selling line. Btw, I think before George van Eps did his thing (his
method is availbale as pdf online, if you can't find it I'll mail it to
people who are interested. Out-of print as far as I know) there were
some jazzcats in the 16th century writing cool stuff for 7-courses too.
History does have a tendency ...
