@Groove1993 My grandma gave me it, it was her uncle's, but she also left it in the shed outside so its in shit condition and needs to be repaired ($1200) but then it'll be worth about $4000-$5000, but Im not selling it...got ther amp that needs repairing to, a Gibson EH-185

Chonk Charlie Chonk!

[kmc56]

Charles is starting to get his recognition and many younger jazz instructors insist this the catalyst between swing and modern jazz.

[taildragger53]

.and it all started because Charlie wanted to emulate Lester Young's tenor sax as a lead instrument. He went beyond Lester's imagination.( sorry to offend any here)

@LanceHelmut

Oops. sorry to steal your glory! You are absolutely right about John Lennon and the CC pickup! It's nice to have a backup! (ha ha)

@denali637

Not only on bop but the WHOLE of pop music!

Without Charlie there would've been NO  T. Bone Walker or Electric Blues..NO Chuck Berry..NO Beatles..No Stones..NO Elvis because he was Blues based and also electric GUITAR based. The dangerous side to music came from Charlie C. --John Lennon got a C. Christian pickup fitted on his Les Paul in tribute to him.

BB King says this all the time.

[LanceHelmut]

thank you benny goodman for your great music and the cajones to hire a minority waaaay before it became fashionable and then the law. c.c.'s influence is massive and even extends to unexpected places..john lennon put a charlie christian pick-up in the neck position of his les paul special during his solo career..charlie christian and the electric guitar 4-ever.

[Solidground84]

this is music.

[Groove1993]

@Noseheros oh man i so envy you :D..where did you get that guitar?...i would give my left nut to get such a rare guitar

Love this tune. Saw a guy down the high-street busking with an original ES-150 about a year ago - was in a rush and could not stop and sadly haven't seen him there since - they where made to be played not hung up in a glass case! Learnt this number from the tab many years ago - might just go and grab that guitar right now and refresh my memory!
