This may be the first time mentioning it, but I admit I do love Frank Sinatra. Always have. He had such a great timing and feel, not to mention a great VOICE. In fact, guitar players should listen to vocalists like Frank, Ella, Sara, Billie, etc - because there you can learn some great phrasing. Copy some of that mojo, and your lead playing will start sounding a lot better. It's one of the things that made me a better guitar player, to be honest. I listened a lot to these vocalists mentioned, and I developed a better sense of melody and phrasing as a result. Try it - it's free! You can find them all on youtube.
Enough talk, here is a nice classic Frank Sinatra performance.
Ok, so I can't help myself. Two more!
