Seems like Bluesy Jazz.

If it were Jazzy Blues, you could play it with a JB. :-)

I kinda thought it was in the jazz neighborhood, but wasn't sure. I love that slow, just noodlin', kinda sound. I'm going to load that up in my guitar trainer and see if I can learn it. I'm not sure if I can watch his fingers, because I'm not sure if he's really playing.

There was a lot of overlap between blues and jazz back before the blues became more heavily codified into a 12 bar religion. Check out some west coast style blues. T-Bone Walker used to occasionally slip in those kind of jazzy chord voicings into his tunes.

I would call that blues, in the "pseudo-jazzy blues" style often used by T Bone Walker.

Checkin' out some T-Bone on YT as we speak. ;)
