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 fingerings usedto play them, up or down the fingerboard. The author showshow the chord shapes – F, D and A – are formed, then caneasily be modified to major, minor, dominant seventh anddiminished seventh chord voicings. Analyzing licks frequentlyused by Charlie Christian, Joe has identified a series of whathe calls tetrafragments, i.e., the core element of a lick. Theidentifiable "sound" of a particular lick is preserved regardlessof how many notes are added on either side of it, e.g., pickupnotes or tag endings. Many examples are shown and playedon the CD of how this basic concept was used by CharlieChristian to keep his solo lines moving forward. Weidlich alsomakes observations on the physical manner Charlie Christianused in playing jazz guitar, and how that approach con-tributed to his smooth, mostly down stroke, pick technique.00000388 Book/CD Pack......................................................$19.95
