Hey Jordan, glad to have chanced upon your channel. You and Steve compliment each other and bring a whole lot of blues tradition to the table. Been following both of your careers over the years and am continually amazed at your chops. You guys are the best!

I would be interested to know what Charlie's previous musical education was. Was he trained or did he just figure it out with a little help from some horn players? For such a young player without obvious mentors, he was unique.

i so love that guitar. the opening lick you played can be heard on a bob wills recording of "twin guitars", perhaps Elton Shamblin playing it. oh, that is the lick you're speaking of at 2:36 and beyond. i have heard Django type licks come out of the bob wills' players as well. they all come from a similar period, so who knows who was the first and it doesn't matter. you play some cool stuff that i don't. and that is a problem for me because i am at least twice your age. so kudos to u.

One thing I think I've figured out about sliding which makes it great for our technique no matter what kind of lick or scale is played, is the fact that it makes our brain learn not to over-squeeze the frets. If you're gonna slide down and back the brain is forced to weed out that over-squeezing or you just can't hardly play it. Everyone to some extent is over squeezing, it's just left over in our mind by our original trying to fret clearly with little callus as beginners. Anyway that's a thought.

Very cool. I can't believe you learned how to play that. I've been trying to figure out that lick for years with no success. He was such an inventive guitarist.

well.. thank you, but one thing that you passed over was that in the format of the big band he, with his "newly invented gtr." was not constrained by the volume of all those horn players... "Chonk Charlie Chonk"

I close my eyes and listen to Swing to Bop and can imagine the enormous effect he would have had. He'd kind of bait you into thinking he'd stalled out his solos somewhat, there is a lot of intentional holding back and staccato notes, and just when you are thinking he's starting to ease off, he hits the bridge and burns through those eight note clusters. When I listened to him as a teenager, I didn't like it that much. There were flashier guitarists since. But now I really like it, and his place in history, that it was so original.

Hello Jordan, which chord progression were you soloing over when you demonstrated that short chord solo? I'm currently learning it as I want to start improvising in this chordal style.
@Skipster189 ай бұрын
Very interesting. I just stumbled across your stuff. My $.02 is that it would be helpful for you to play the reference chord, for example the E7, before you play the altered line so we can have it in our ear and appreciate the context of the line. Just a suggestion... Cheers!
