Ultimately, it sounds like music by maths to my ear — anyone else feel the same.

I like jazz and I have a pretty decent collection of jazz music, but I too cannot take very much jazz guitar. I can listen to some guys for hours... Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, Vince Guaraldi, Dave Brubeck, Thelonious Monk, Chet Baker, etc... but jazz guitar just leaves me flat for some reason. I appreciate the talent; it's just not a sound that resonates with me.
But if we all enjoyed the same things, what a dull world this would be.
If bossa nova counts as jazz, that would be the exception.
