George Barnes (July 17, 1921 – September 5, 1977) was an American swing jazz guitarist born in South Chicago Heights, Illinois. He began performing professionally at age 12 after receiving his musicians' union card, touring the Midwest and accompanying blues artists including Big Bill Broonzy and Blind John Davis. In 1938, he recorded with Broonzy on what are often cited as the first commercial recordings featuring electric guitar. Later that year, he became a staff musician for the NBC orchestra and appeared on radio programs such as National Barn Dance.
