Interpreted broadly, this thread might include guitar players whom blues harmonica players could steal ideas from.

In that line: Larry Carlton and BB King for blue notes, Stevie Ray for deep groove, Albert Collins for explosive power.

second on Alex Schultz...he very rarely plays full chords on the guitar, preferring to play two or three note chords and/or little lines.

Taking this to mean guitar players who play well with harp players:

Muddy Waters
Hubert Sumlin
Jimmy Rogers
Louis Myers
Dave Myers before he switched to bass
Robert Lockwood Jr.
Rusty Zinn
Jimmy Vaughan

@Timesight -- I'd also add to that list the following:

Eddie Taylor
Troy Gonyea
Junior Watson
Charlie Baty
Luther Tucker

What Alex Schultz is doing is essentially more out of the Tiny Grimes school of playing , as he used a 4 string guitar most of the time.

Here's Bill Jenning's Long Way From St. Louis. Listen to this and then listen to Gary Primich's version of this tune and you'll notice that Gary plays the Bill Jennings guitar solo pretty close to note for note. Bill was a very inflential jump blues guitar player and he most certainly has influenced me.
