  • George Barnes (* 17. Juli 1921 in South Chicago Heights, Illinois; † 5. September 1977 in Concord, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Jazz-Gitarrist. Nach eigenen Angaben spielte er bereits 1931 eine elektrische Gitarre, sechs Jahre vor Charlie Christian. Er war auf jeden Fall einer der ersten, die Aufnahmen mit der elektrischen Gitarre einspielten. In den 1970er-Jahren leitete Barnes zusammen mit dem Kornettisten Ruby Braff ein eher ungewöhnliches Quartett. Er machte auch Aufnahmen mit Joe Venuti. George Barnes starb 1977 in Kalifornien. (de)
