Hard to comprehend this is from the 40s. Sounds just as fresh today.

Wes Montgomery taught himself how to play by listening to Charlie Christian Records.

Just incredible. The whole jam is pretty great, but Charlie's playing is simply incredible, so fluid and melodic, and swings like crazy. Thanks a lot for this.

[arjhendrix]

thank you

Les Paul said in his "Chasing Sound" video that Charlie "nailed him to the wall, and rightfully so." It's hard to imagine anybody cuttin' Les' head, but if there was ever a guy to show LP a thing or 2, it would have to be Charlie. The man's phrasing, sense of swing, and harmony are nothing short of genius. Anybody who plays guitar, no matter what style, can learn something from this gentleman.

I come back to the video time and time again, blows my mind.

[marinelovesuperman]

this song is awesome, this guitarist is amazing

There is a passage at 2:32 that is absolutely beyond what anyone has done, then or since. A Rosetta Stone moment. Well, in my humble opinion.

Charlie and Django were jazz and guitar pioneers greats. I mean, alltime greats!

really did not know that Charlie Christian is that marvellous player. And all these years I have listened to Hendrix and Jimmy Page and so on.
