Charlie Christian - Tea for Two download mp3

Where did you find that transcription of the Charlie solo? or did you do it?

The guy was a genius. Inspired Barney Kessel. BK watched him play for 3 days and saw he only used downstrokes.

Take note people, this is history in the making. CC is the one who brought the guitar from a rhythm instrument to the fore front as a lead guitar instrument.

"Wow! Charlie Christian!"How many times have I said that?

Thanks guys i have most of his work he is my great uncle

He was my absolute idol when I started out on guitar. When I heard my first Christian solo (7 come 11) I immediately threw away all my rock and beat records.

this commentary is refreshing. If you go to...almost any blues or r&r artist and read its the jerry springer show. yo daddy o!!

What Christian WAS was probably the most advanced soloist on any instrument at the time of his death, and by dint of his immeasurable contribution to the belop language, just about the only guitarist is jazz history to have had a profound effect on the way horn players and pianists approached things. Not to mention his enormous influence on blues players via T-Bone Walker, and on every Western Swing and hot C&W to follow him.

How would you like being at a Harlem club in the 30s and hearing/seeing this...
