THE GUITAR CHORDSHAPES OF CHARLIE CHRISTIANby Joe WeidlichThe concepts and fingerings inthis book have been developedby analyzing the licks used byCharlie Christian. Chord shapesare moveable; thus one can playthe riffs in virtually any key with-

out difficulty by simply moving the shape, and fingeringsused to play them, up or down the fingerboard. The authorshows how the chord shapes – F, D and A – are formed,then can easily be modified to major, minor, dominant sev-enth and diminished seventh chord voicings. Analyzing licksfrequently used by Charlie Christian, Joe has identified aseries of what he calls tetrafragments, i.e., the core elementof a lick. The identifiable "sound" of a particular lick is pre-served regardless of how many notes are added on eitherside of it, e.g., pickup notes or tag endings. Many examplesare shown and played on the CD of how this basic conceptwas used by Charlie Christian to keep his solo lines movingforward. Weidlich also makes observations on the physicalmanner Charlie Christian used in playing jazz guitar, andhow that approach contributed to his smooth, mostly downstroke, pick technique.00000388 Book/CD Pack........................................................$19.95
