Charlie Christian – I Found a New Baby
Charlie has somewhat of a New Orleans swing field. This tune has a short but sweet solo. This solo is very easy to hear and very clean to figure out.
Charlie Byrd Trio – The Bossa Nova Years
The difference here is Charlie uses a nylon string guitar approaching it like a classical player with his fingers. Playing brilliant jazz lines.
George Benson – On Broadway
On this tune George plays fast 16th notes very clean. He uses a lot of chromaticism and is a master of outlining the changes. Not to mention his phrasing is impeccable.
Wes Montgomery – Bumpin’ on Sunset
This is a very model tune for Wes. It’s very easy to hear what he is thinking as he plays using octaves. Occasionally he will use a fifth with the octaves. Also, will slide the octaves separately. Sliding the low note followed by the top note, still an active apart.
