Charlie Christian was one of the first and most influential jazz electric guitarists. From his start with swing when he was with the Benny Goodman sextet and orchestra in the 1930s, his "bop" in the 1940s, and his "modern jazz" in the 1950s, Charlie Christian led the way for a slew of guitarists such as Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Jimmy Raney and Tal Farlow. This book covers a selection of his music in many of his styles in an easy to follow format.

Arranged By: This piece was arranged by Stan Ayeroff.
