This sub looks at George's solo of "Low Down Dirty Shame". Curtis Jone's version
George Freeman was probably the coolest of the Avant Garde guitarists. This cut from Joe Morris is pretty cool with some neat useable ideas
The T-Bone tune Go Back to the one you Love has a cool solo
Roy was the songwriter for. "The Thrill is Gone". Johnny Moore was the original guitarist. BB King made the song famous. Johnny recorded more sides with Roy and had some cool solos.
Goree recorded most of his catalog before he was 24. This side he did with Big Joe Turner illustrates a maturity beyond his years
Dave Barbour has to be one the most relaxed at methodical Jazz guitarists. This Standard is a nice one.
Skeeter is a great Blues and Jazz guitarist. His solo on "Swinging the Blues" is cool. Paul Quinichette sounds fantastic.
This song by Don Byas is a nice bop 32 bar tune. Jean Pierre fits perfectly on this with his style that reminds me of Al Casey
This section will look at Jean-Pierre's solo
Charlie, Irving and a host of other guitar players have tackled this tune. I'm breaking it down for us to get under our fingers.
This is a lesson making sense of the song "Stardust" For years I struggled with this tune, and odds are some of have to. I hope some of my ideas are helpful,
We will look at some solo ideas, and modify some of the ideas to get some better fingerings.
Obscure guitarist, but caught my ear.
Like "Stardust" this is a must know tune. I'm hoping we can decode this one.
Was never one of my favorite tunes. Loved the movie. This take changes all that.Gene Edwards is on guitar here, and Richard Holmes does a great job.
Continuation of pt 1. with a Charlie Christian solo
Al Casey delivers a cool solo. Loaded with grease that is fun to play.
A great standard, Bill Jennings executes his signature licks over this standard.
In a different key the the bridge solo that Oscar plays is cool.
Probably the bluesiest of the Rockabilly guitar players. Recorded for Starday, his lines are instantly identifiable.
