New York City-based guitarist/songwriter Sean Sullivan has an extremely mixed background in music.

His style blends folk, rock, Latin, blues and more to create a distinctive musical melting pot.

Here, he takes a second to explain the role of a guitar player in a jazz band.

Sullivan's track “American Jones,” which he performed for us here, is a good example of this technique.
