    Not sure whether he still teaches, but Paul Mehling of the Hot Club of San Francisco is a possibility. I seem to recall a member here, "Tele295," did at least a lesson (perhaps more) with him, so she might have some insight. Other than that, here's a threadthat might guide. Good luck.

    Doug Martin in San Carlos is excellent. He plays often in San Francisco - so you can probably check him out live. Also on YouTube. See http://www.dougmartinguitar.com.

    There are a lot of good teaching materials, but a good live instructor is better yet!
    I'm always interested in jamming with experienced jazz and gypsy jazz players in the San Francisco - San Jose area. Drop me a line. Bass players welcome!

    Hey man.

    I live in San rafael, and I have taken from a few teachers out here. Paul Mehling is good, and lives in oakland. Paul Gruen is also good, and teaches out of the magic flute in San rafael. Doug Martin lives in Japan right now so that ain't happenning.

    Contact me if you want to Jam.
