Thanks, Italo from Chile, SudAmerica

[custardapple777]

Just so kool, I've been watching this every day for a month.

[custardapple777]

CC was way ahead of his contemporaries. This is such an original solo for his time.

[keyzcity]

Charlie Christian ain't white...

[HorridFroth]

@keyzcity - so the fuck what?

[guitarpicka1]

@keyzcity ...His teeth were...and so were the dots on his fingerboard..!!

[goPistons06]

awesome, this is my favorite Charlie Christian solo

[iwgpventures]

ジョ－ジベンソンモデル、良い音してるわ。

[JimmyDeLocke]

The Original is from the 'StudioB sessions" Charlie with the Benny Goodman Sextet. Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Benny G, Charlie C and the gang -- immortal stuff. The material, was releaed on Colombia (CK40846) as part of the "Jazz Masterpieces" series. There are books with transcriptions of Charlie's solos, too,

[Modes9]

Thanks for putting this up! Listen to those intervals! Charlie Christian was way ahead of his time.

[djluis49]

LOL, even @ 50% Slower it sounds great...nice playing, ima learn this :D

[zaulkin]

Awesome! I love your playing. I was just wondering, could you (or anyone) PLEASE send me the recording that you transcribed? I'd like to transcribe this solo for an assessment that is coming up soon but I can't find the original.

[zaulkin]

@zaulkin Actually, I found the song on iTunes so no longer need it... Cheers.

[5656bigsteve]

Don't know if anyone else has noticed but playing this falls better under the fingers if you use mostly down strokes like Charlie.

[SIRONEDRAGON]

cool

[mypalsatan]

awesome do you have the sheet music for it?

[xp0ferens]

how do u play something 50% speed

[OrisLover]

Dude you'are a cat!

[mmordac]

Fantastic work, and a fitting tribute to one of the founding fathers of the electric guitar.

[bilmure666]

Nice playing,

Would you mind telling me what kind/make your guitar is?

[stringcordeta]

Thanks, it's a 1981 Ibanez George Benson GB-10.

Cheers

[peyodanduche]

Great !! but help ! I am looking in vain for the tabs of this. I began to do it by this video (slow version, yes I am not maso ...!) but it's a bit long ... and uneasy. Do you get it ?

[callasexperience]

amazing these solos sound somelodic slowed down

[callasexperience]

go on swing it Josep !

[oscartina]

thanks for the post!

[stoffel0001]

Hey!

Thanks for the video! It helps me a lot to learn this song.

But I have one question. How fast did you play the slow-part with the metronome. Is it on speed quarter note = 100?

[stringcordeta]

You're right, I deleted the web on my video information. I don't know why the best resource has vanished.

Cheers

[Namsaj61]

nicely done !

[palgaez35]

Hola Josep...

Que bien suena esa guitarra!!!

Esa es una George Benson? Yo es que tengo la GB10 con el sombreado marrón oscuro, pero juraría que esa es una George Benson. Por cierto, has visto su nuevo modelo GB30? Es preciosa...

Es un placer ver y escuchar tus vídeos.

Un saludo

[botanikkkk]

lindo !!! viva charlie !!!

[ari1234a]

Even on slow tempo it sounds magnificent.

[Wanielyo]

The incredible Charlie Christian Website you got the music from seems to have vanished! I just get a page forbidden message? I'm gutted, finally found the time to start learning more about his music and the best resource has vanished?

[stringcordeta]

Indeed it was a great resource but know it disappears and i don't know why...

Somebody wants to build another?

Cheers

[codyr222]

@Wanielyo You can find a PDF version of the Charlie Christian website by typing in "charlie christian transcriptions" on the google search page. Third link down as of 11:46 EST 8/20/2010. Good luck.

[sotonemuel]

Flawless! Looks like a George Benson (GB) Ibanez guitar, right?

[mcphert1]

Terrific insight into what is must have been like to actually watch Charlie play close up on a solo. Thanks.

[doctorwacowaco]

Yo estoy estudiando el mismo tema y puedo dar fe que es duro,es admirable que lo puedas tocar casi al ritmo original sin dejar de articularlo con mucha clase mis mas sinceras felicitaciones y un saludo

[iwannajamwithsuperma]

where can i find a written transcription?

[excidedous]

Transcript? Wow - you don't do this with a transcript...pffft. You either got it or you don't. Transcripts are for mechanics -

Nice job, gotta keep this stuff around.

Thanks for the vid!

[orlandoCF1]

Very nice playing. Beautiful guitar!

[islandfunhouse]

Really fine study of Christian's feel. Very serious work. Excellent relaxed right hand. Hard work pays off doesn't it!

[manu2868]

WOW! is this sweep picking in 0:10?

[eatme765wes]

yea it is, charlie wasnt the first to sweep but he sure was a damn fine player

[Toracube]

Wow, I want to play that. Damn that's good guitar playing.

[kevinherbert]

Nice statements...

[PA28140]

Damn he makes this look easy! Nice job!

[Ironman1960]

cool thanks for slowing down to see the technique

[Whackooyzero]

Charlie is definetly one of the greatest jazz players of all time. And that's no small feat!

[xmrbojanglesx]

Nice, very nice.

[CadillacL]

Your sound is AWESOME. Its amazing just how strong Charlie's influence is today. He was w/out a doubt way ahead of everyone & even still today I think.

[b5b9]

Great sound! I think Charlie would like it.

[josephfwalker]

Bangin'.
