Charlie had more rhythm in one finger than many others (themselves called "musicians") in their entire body

It's sad how under-appreciated he is. He practically invented the electric guitar solo...

Good question considering he was THE premier jazz guitarist (I gues an argument could be made for Reinhardt, actually) and extremely influential.

TotalBlamblam - hey man ! thanks for the chords ! And thanks MickeyClark for the video/sound track - I've been looking to hear some of CC's work. As someone else said, too bad he didn't live to meet Django, that would have been really interesting.

Christian was a pioneer. Impressive guitar playing, especially for it's time. So timeless.
