- Charlie Christian invented electric jazz guitar as we know it today. So many people have heard the name but so few have actually heard him play. Charlie Christian didn't just play the guitar; he reinvented it.

A Name that is forgotten is George Barnes, same period, same impact, no one remember him.

Thank you so much for this Charlie Christian video! He is a legend.
Your channel is truly amazing! 🍀
Thanks!
Before Charlie Christian the guitar in the big band setting was almost a percussion instrument. What a innovator!
I once watched BBKing do a note for note demonstration of a Charlie Christian solo . Who knew?
@@brianpite0893 didn't know that. B.B. King came from, I imagine and see as the " golden era of music( played by human beings not softwares) , songs played with soul. Thanks 4 sharing this information. Be under Higher Peace pal!!!
@@brianpite0893 thank you man, I found here, 1972 interview B.B. cites T-Bone Walker, then Benny Goodman orchestra and starts doing his " impersonation" of Christian's style, fucking great; does that dance of notes across the fretboard. Good advice. Thanks. By the way read abou Charlie in the book " World of Jazz" written by François Billard, listening to his recordings is stunning, is pure and enchanting. 🙏🏿🍀🎼
Charlie Christian was a key figure in the development of the guitar in the 20th century, however it was Lonnie Johnson born Febuary 8th, 1899, not Charlie Christian, who first influence the single note solo style playing that we hear today in Jazz, Pop, Country, Folk, Soul and Rock music. Johnson is often categorized as a blues Musician, but he was a lot more then that.
❤👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 this man deserves a whole documentary on his life. I've read about him in Francois Billiard's book. Short life but an influence that lasts, Wes Montgomery was one of his admirers. By the way, very good video! Thanks, really worths to have subscribed here :). Peace and Force! 🙏🏿
Thanks!
Thank you so much ❤
Cool.
Thanks for sharing
A couple of things that came to my mind:
The stories and accounts of men showing up for important, often pivotal, meetings with others but wearing an ill fitting suit, or an old suit long out of fashion, or a loud suit where a conservative look is needed are striking in their simultaneous mix of pain and hilarity.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Rose Room was a well established standard by the time of Hammond's engineered "performance audition" of Christian for Goodman's band. Why on earth would Benny Goodman think that Christian wouldn't know Rose Room? Reinhardt and Grappelli's incredibly beautiful and swinging version had already come out by 1937; it's a safe bet to think that Christian had heard it and loved it.
Thanks for the video.
Another great video of one of my favorite most influential jazz guitarist thanks for posting this!! 🎸
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤😊
I (and others) maintain that single line "lead guitar" playing originated because of the limits of Dajango's injured left hand.
Great video mate, that playing on Swing to Bop is outrageously good, one of the greatest guitar moments ever. I'm a fan of Mary Osborne who i believe was also influenced by the great man. Cheers mate.🎶👍
Whats the point of a documentary on a guitar player, that features zero recordings of that guitarist? There is no guitar audio at all in this video.
His recordings are all copyrighted. sorry
