Goodman employed many guitarists over the years - I found this list:

 

Carl Kress (1929) (Kress and Goodman were band mates with Red Nichols and His Five Pennies)

Eddie Lang (1933)

D*ck McDonough (1933)

George Van Eps (1934)

Allan Reuss (1934-38)

Freddie Green (in 1938 and also a couple sessions later when Charlie Christian was in the band)

Charlie Christian (1939-42)

Tom Morgan (1941-42)

Carmen Mastren (1940's)

Barney Kessel (1940's)

Dave Barbour (1940's)

Mike Bryan (1945)

Billy Bauer (1946)

Johnny Smith (1951)

Mundell Lowe

Allen Hanlon

Barry Galbraith (1957)

Kenny Burrell (1958)

Jimmy Wyble (late 1950's and early 1960's)

John Pisano

Joe Pass (1973)

Cal Collins (1976-79)

Chris Flory (1978-83)

Phillip Catherine (1980)

Bucky Pizzarelli (1980s)

 

I can add Louis Stewart but I'm not sure when - after J Pass probably.

Those are some great players, thanks for taking the time to put this list together. Goodman's style translate well to the guitar, I think he was the first bandleader to feature guitar as a solo instrument, there were singers who played guitar like Jimmy Rogers, and there were big bands who incorporated guitar into the rythym section, but I believe Goodman was the first to feature amplified solo players.
