How about Wilie Johnson the shetland guitarist who during the second world war listened to Eddie lang[jazz guitarist].,on short wave radio, and developed a jazzy style of guitar playing for backing shetland traditonal fiddlers, and more latterly the Easy Club,ALL IN STANDARD TUNING, chordally very interesting, but definitely Jazz orientated.
