Hi k45...
I have rented and bought several DVDs on 'Chord Melody' style. There are some great 'masters' of it:

• John Carlini (Chord Solo Guitar I & II)
• Pat Donohue (Jazz classics for fingerstyle guitar)
• Gershwin - Fred Sokolow
• Pete Huttlinger - Solo Acoustic Guitar I & II
• Al Petteway - Celtic, Blues & Beyond
• Tuck Andress - Fingerstyle Mastery
• Martin Taylor - Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar

Then there are some great DVDs by Mark Hanson - http://www.AccentOnMusic.com

Mike Dowling has some Swing/Jazz and Duet for guitar DVDs as well.

Hope this helps...
