Synopsis

The Best of Charlie Christian is designed for guitarists who want to understand and perform the language of modern jazz guitar through the work of one of its most influential pioneers. Ideal for intermediate to advanced players, educators, and serious students, this book is used for focused guitar practice, jazz study, and stylistic development.

This guitar sheet music book features step by step breakdowns of signature riffs, solos, and phrases drawn from fifteen classic performances. Written in standard notation and guitar tablature, the lessons are paired with online audio to demonstrate authentic phrasing, tone, articulation, and swing feel.
