Solo Flight

[GreenCertains]

Nice one!

[lhemeon]

Totally awesome

[cardwell]

Nice job! Charlie was amazing - he did it all without much precedent.

[sumedhaverma]

Hey is this the same transcription from THE BEST OF CHARLIE CHRISTIAN?

Or is this from another book?

[stringcordeta]

@sumedhaverma Hey i don't know from what book is, a friend of mine gave me a copy from this solo. Cheers! 

[setforvol]

@sumedhaverma Its my own transcription.

[jassbo]

It seems this is other version of solo flight, I heard the original, it's different scale. Let me know if I'm wrong please. I recognize this version is great, too. Congratulations!

[setforvol]

@jassbo same scale, same chords, even a lot of the licks are the same, just a different version.

[taohuan]

i like af75

[FFc9909Q]

really nice! Your guitar resembles in tone of Charlie`s Gibson ES 150.

Is this Ibanez AF 75?

regards from Serbia.

[setforvol]

Yes it is but I have changed the pickups to Seymour Duncan's. Thanks for the comment

[Hoopermazing]

@setforvol - You should throw a CC pup on that bad boy, like Barney Kessel's ES 350.

[ion507]

wasn't the original in Db?

[setforvol]

You might be right.

[imsameagle]

absolutely wonderful! That is one of my favorite guitar songs. Well played.

[santafandango1969]

cant say im too familiar with that tune but it certainly is head swinging and toe tappin stuff well done.

[brianrhg]

Well done man, 5 stars. How long have you been playing jazz?

[setforvol]

Ive been playing CC's stuff on and off for about 20 years

[DCmey]

Nice job. I have been doing studying Charlie Christian's music for about a month and absolutley love it. I love playing it.

[mcphert1]

Let me the first to comment. One of my favourite guitar pieces, and it's interesting to see how Charlie would have played it on the fretboard. Well done from a fellow Aussie.

[setforvol]

To get the same tones as charlie for this song I had to tune up almost a full semitone.

Which makes me think the recording was sped up quite a bit.
