Charlie Christian is generally recognised as the person who popularised the electric guitar (although not the first) and who changed everyones thinking about how jazz could be played on it.
As well as playing guitar for Benny Goodman, Charlie participated in after hours jam sessions with other musicians in places such as Mintons and Monroes in New York City. On 12 May 1941 Charlie played Swing to Bop at Mintons, with Joe Guy on trumpet, Kenny Kersey on piano, Nick Fenton on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums. This live track excerpt is characterised by longer solos than Charlie would typically play with Goodman, and is a good indication of his incredible improvisational abilities. His influence on guitarists then and since has been massive.
Famed jazz guitarist Barney Kessel spent three days with Charlie watching him play. "He played probably 95% downstrokes and held a very stiff big triangular pick very tightly between his thumb and first finger. He rested his second, third and fourth fingers very firmly on the pickguard...". Source: Guitar Player March 1982.
For heaps of info on Charlie, see the site Solo Flight, which includes numerous transcriptions, including this one.

Sadly, there is no film available of Charlie Christian playing live, so I have included a slide show for this track.
Comments welcome.

*** Blue Sky ***
(Betts)
Walk along the river sweet lullaby
It just keeps on flowin' it don't worry 'bout where it's going
Don't fly Mister blue bird I'm just walkin' down the road
Early mornin' sunshine tells me all I need to know
No no
You're my blue sky you're my sunny day
Lord you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way
Turn your love my way
10:16
Good ol' Sunday mornin' bells are ringin' everywhere
Goin' to Carolina won't be long til I'll be there
You're my blue sky you're my sunny day
Lord you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way
Turn your love my way ...

It's also a great there's people out there that feel the same way as I do about green day.
keep on rockin
the band WAR grows on people. i just surfed over to your channel and am not surprised to see the Big Zeppelin and Sir Clint Eastwood all over your screen with backdrop of Jimi, very cool.
things cool this way, new year and new decade, y'know bro, i was a kid in the early 70's but i am getting this strange feeling this economy and vibes are gonna be like the early 70's but on nitrous
saw vanishing point the other day and remembered how cool that micro era of music was from about 1971 to 1973, anyhow hope all is well bro talk soon - peace - Dreadstock
