I want a good Jazz guitar. I am just starting studying and I am not sure if I should get a jazz acoustic or a classical guitar or a jazz electric. I found this guitar on amazon that is a jazz acoustic and it is about 200$ which is around the price I am looking for. Here is the link:

I have an Old Hollow body Jazz guitar with a floating bridge. When trying to tune it to E flat, the strings break. Its the right octave because the strings practically fall off the neck when I have it in the octave below.
I think it has something to do with the way my bridge is placed. Any ideas?

I had an Epiphone Casino, a Dobro, a 12-string Strat, and a Dean 12 string Acoustic. I loved them all. But my apt got burglarized and everything was stolen. No renter’s insurance. I have to have a guitar!!!!! All I have is 350 dollars to buy a guitar. I like dirty blues and jangly 60′s classic rock, with some earthy Dylan and CSN thrown in here and there. I’ve kinda settled on a new Gibson Melody Maker for 9 or a one yr old Yamaha AEX1500 for 0. The Yamaha tempts me because its in great shape and retails new for like 00. But man, that’s a huge loss of value, isn’t it? It’s also a Jazz guitar, but I think I could play with it to get my rockier sounds. The Melody Maker just seems like a great value for a new Gibson AMERICAN guitar. What do you think? here are the two links.

What should I buy? I really don’t like the Ibanez’ and Jackson lines. I don’t like the Epiphone LP’s or SG’s. Any other ideas?

I’ve just begun my first semester of studying Jazz guitar in college, but my practice schedule is now random and my self-esteem as a player (and thus, as a person simultaneously) is waning. What are some intellectual exercises that can help expand my melodic vocabulary and give more focus to my approach?
I honestly can’t thank anyone enough who’ll set me straight.

I have been playing guitar for many years but mainly classical and flamenco, I have recently discovered I love gypsy jazz and have been exploring Jazz guitar a lot more. My problem is that although i am aware there exists a lot of jazz theory, scales, licks, playing scales from different chords over the top etc, i dont know how to do any of it. Would doing Jazz guitar grades be of help or is there a good website to learn this stuff from? Are there any good gyspy jazz resources – some of those solos are just to fast to figure out by ear! Thank for your help!
