About every rock song ever written can be played with just guitar and drums.

Exactly - so try taking some songs you already know, whether they have bass parts or not, and figuring them out with just you and your drummer. If you want a specific recommendation, I think "Highway to Hell" sounds great with just a guitar and drums - perhaps because the bass and second guitar only come in during the chorus and the bridge. :D

By the way, look at the sidebar on the left-hand side of the GT page - Stanley Jordan is on the list of inspirations, fifth from the bottom ;).

Can't find any jazz artists? Grab an encyclopaedia of music and read the jazz section - or even better, a book on jazz (I particularly recommend "The Penguin Guide To Jazz Recordings" - it's my jazz bible). Then get yourself down to the CD shop and pick up some albums. If you want to play jazz with just guitar and drums, I recommend Joe Pass, but I think stuff like Tal Farlow and Wes Montgomery would sound fine with just drums for backing. If you listen to The Mahavishnu Orchestra's "The Noonward Race", there's a section where John McLaughlin (guitarist) is duelling with Billy Cobham (drummer).
