Great lesson David, that Swing Scale for the one chord ( C Caged position in F) is a real staple of this style, as you pointed out. And the Gminor9, two chord sound can be also out of Bb major 7 position ( common jazz sub for G m9) great insightful concise lesson, thank you.
Thanks, David, you're one of the best guitar instructors around today. A great lesson! Every serious guitar player, no matter what genre you are into, should study Charlie Christian, who is definitely one of the greatest virtuoso/ musical geniuses of the electric guitar. His rhythmic and harmonic sense is so highly developed that every great jazz player has been influenced by him. And to think that he accomplished such greatness and then died at the age of 25.
I’ve been learning from your books and videos for years. So glad you’re sharing your talents on RUclips. You give just enough theory to understand what’s going on, but get right to playing cool stuff. Thanks, David.
I've mentioned this before but, amazingly, it would seem that sometimes Charlie note choice would depend on what "shape" he was working around. This resulted in him approaching the third from two frets or one fret depending on the shape. I also feel that because Charlie didn't use his left hand pinky that fact - as stated above - effected his note choice..
powerful stuff. Been playing for decades and never thought this through. Very useful -- going to work on it and plug it into my playing asap. Thanks so much
Thanks for this david, I always try to play around the root, but never looked at it quite this way, really opened up some new ideas for me, thanks I am now a new subscriber.
💰💪🦫🤓🎶🔥🇺🇸👍👏👌 Every guitar player should own and listen to Charlie Christian with the Benny Goodman Band in the box set you referenced ......came out a number of years ago.....
Cool lesson! Thanks. One thing I’ve realized from playing a lot of these early blues tunes is that the ii-V at the end of the form is often played with a major II7. Do you ever try to address that little variation? I realize they both will work, but once you start to hear the difference, it’s quite noticeable.
David I'm surprised that Truefire haven't produced a full blown Charlie Christian course. Ideally, I would like such a venture to include Charlie favourite "moves" ( which you've already covered somewhere), and then an analysis of a few of his solos. Such solos MUST include "Swing to Bop" and "Stompin' at the Savoy". from the Minton sessions. Charlie's appeal is very wide and such a course would interest jazz. country, western swing, blues and rockabilly guitar players.
Great lesson! Any advice for coming up with licks/phrases that sound like swing? Even when I focus on the right notes, my solos don't sound anything like this (>.
Wish I'd seen this a long time ago. I've been trying to outline the ii V I chords which doesn't sound bad but it sounds predictable. It's even harder when I use a quick iii vi ii V7. I've found that I like making the three chord a dominant sound better than a m7 but I have a hard time making that four chord turnaround not sound hurried or frantic. I have a couple lines I worked out and practiced but if I'm taking a solo for more than two choruses, I run out of ideas.
I think they're .010s. I'm not entirely sure because I don't know that I've changed them since I got the guitar (!) unless maybe I broke a high string along the way or something. But that's generally what I play for electrics. And usually John Pearse brand, because I've been an endorser for them for something like twenty years.
It's a 390: smaller than a 335 and hollow like a 330. Mine, yes, has mini humbuckers but I think that's a little unusual, most of them seem to have P90s. I absolutely love it though it can be a little feedback-prone in louder situations.

You’re videos are so dense and tight. You give very potent and actionable instructions/advice.

Looking forward to RMGC '23
My favorite guitarist. Still a beast. I wish he would have lived into his 70s. We would have gotten so much more wonderful music.
I know - it boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Thanks for making this…. Super helpful.

High praise indeed! Thanks so much.

Very nice guitar and tone.
Great lesson man
NS here! CC was a master!
Oh man! Just such a cool sound! I love the way you decode this stuff, David. Again, - love your playing, and your teaching style. Thanks so much, man.

Cool!

So good!
Outstanding ‼️🎸🎼🎶👍
Love it…. Subscribed!
Could you please do a lesson on "swing to bop"? I have seen some good playthroughs, but a breakdown of licks over chords would be superb. Thanks!
💰💪🦫🤓🎶🔥🇺🇸👍👏👌

You’ve sure got the CC tone.
A great lesson! Thank you!
Very well explained! I remember David from a Dobro book I had back in the day.
superb

And you got a sub!
Nice playing, teaching and one beautiful guitar you got there.

Great lesson as usual , Maestro !
Thanks, glad you're enjoying them!
great stuff and killer tone!
Well done. Thanks a lot man
Cool concepts David! Nice to have all that in one “box”.
Lots of common ground between Charlie Christian and Junior Barnard from the Texas Playboys
Such good lessons man !!! thanks
Great lesson! Any advice for coming up with licks/phrases that sound like swing? Even when I focus on the right notes, my solos don't sound anything like this (>.
Can you come to my house and give me a few lessons. Just love your teaching style.
Great lesson as usual.
Thank you!
Don't know why I'm just finding this, and the fact you're in Austin, I'm just 20 mins away

Just starting to swing. Any more swing llessons?
badass
Ya genius is quite accurate
That's the kind of tone I'm trying to get with my 335, what gauge and kind of strings do you have on your guitar?
I think they're .010s. I'm not entirely sure because I don't know that I've changed them since I got the guitar (!) unless maybe I broke a high string along the way or something. But that's generally what I play for electrics. And usually John Pearse brand, because I've been an endorser for them for something like twenty years.
What guitar is that? 336 with mini hums?
It's a 390: smaller than a 335 and hollow like a 330. Mine, yes, has mini humbuckers but I think that's a little unusual, most of them seem to have P90s. I absolutely love it though it can be a little feedback-prone in louder situations.
@@FretboardConfidential thanks for the info, it has a beautiful tone.
Who makes that lid?
