    This is so fascinatingly instructive. Of all the bebop guitarists who are the "children of Charlie Christian" my personal favorite is Tal Farlow, who, I sometimes think, plays notes that aren't even on the guitar! This video explains techniques I believe I hear in Farlow's explosive solos.

    Great video! I'm a huge Charlie Christian fan. He was a true guitar genius on the same level as Django Reinhardt. Every great jazz guitarist since Charlie and Django has learned their chops either directly or indirectly, from their playing. What's even more amazing about Charlie is his tragically short career. He made all those fantastic recordings in the short space of about 5 years, and then was gone at the young age of 25.

      if your a really good guitarist you could learn all the notes Charlie or Django are playing in a solo but you will never be able to capture their magic. The smooth seemingly effortless flow that comes from within them and can,t be learned

    20:00 that bit about the descending lines and the landing on off notes is gold. To me that is where most of the magic is -- sounds so funky and cool as transitions. The rest of CC's playing is much more mundane, playing on chord shapes. But those descending things are neat. Thanks for your excellent vid!

    • @greggfineguitar

      Your lessons are great. I wish I knew how to help you monetize them, but here are some thoughts: My understanding is that Rick Beato is quite open on the success of his channel, but it’s hearsay. What disturbs me is that competent instructors are often over looked for less competent. Patreon also seems popular for those with a clear focus and dedicated following. Anyway, as a consumer of guitar instruction, I really appreciate your efforts. I have subscribed and “hit the bell” to try and help out. Peace.

      I always suspected rockabilly and country guitar had a connection to jazz guitar. Chet Atkins and Les Paul confirmed my suspicion lol. Makes it cooler than Jimi Hendrix later plugged more Jazz back into rock music. Jazz and its culture influenced the development (though obviously not the birth) of blues as a genre so much. Blues bands inherit their drum kits from jazz!

    Very interesting. Thanks.
    I'm no expert but, @12:42, when you say "...down a whole step and plays a -7b5," do you mean a "minor triad with added sixth?" (see @11:24).
    Looks like it would be a -7b5 if you went up to the 5th?

    • @greggfineguitar
      @greggfineguitar  3 года назад +1

      Hi Chris, a minor7b5 is a minor triad with added sixth just as an inversion.

  • @jamessidney2851
    @jamessidney2851 Год назад +1

    Why would Christian play the same note on two different strings when he had the same note repeating in his phrase? Just for the subtle difference in timbre? To look flashy? To keep himself entertained? I’ve never heard of this before but I am interested!

    • @CAGED1702
      @CAGED1702 11 месяцев назад

      It's called false fingering, or alternate fingering. "The term "false fingering" is used in instruments such as woodwinds, brass, and stringed instruments where different fingerings can produce the same note, but where the timbre or tone quality is distinctly different from each other. For example, on a guitar, the same note played on a wound string will sound significantly different from one played on a solid wire string, so playing the same note on different strings in short succession can accentuate the different tone colors without actually changing the note. When the note is played in such a way as to draw the distinction from the expected tone quality (which will vary depending on the exact musical passage it appears in) it is often called a "false fingering". The technique is common in jazz contexts, especially on wind instruments such as the saxophone. If the tone quality is not distinctly different between the two notes, the term "alternate fingering" is often used instead".
      It's used more often than not. especially in Jazz, and sometime in Rock too. Hope this helps! 🙂

      Thanks for the reply. I figured it was a timbre thing. I’m actually a pretty accomplished jazz guitarist (I’ve transcribed a handful of Christian’s solos over the years). But false fingering is something I haven’t come across in my education. It’s definitely a next-level sort of detail to add to one’s playing. Very subtle. I’ll mess around with it myself now and see what happens. Thanks!

    Great stuff. Only issue I have with your lessons is that the full transcription you show while playing the solo in full at the end is at a scale where you cannot make out the numbering. It's mostly a blur. Even if you do a full screen of it, this is the case.
