What is jazz (we will never agree )?
In my book DiMeola, Beck, Herring, Ford, Metheny, Holdsworth, a.o, are not jazz guitarists but fusion guitarists. McLaughlin and Coryell can do both, but fusion is their core competence, and jazz buffs usually prefers other guitarists.
Scofield can do fusion, blues & rock, funk, but jazz is where his heart is.
