RidingsThis isnt just a book of transcribed solos from Charlie Christian... Not even close. This is a method that shows exactly how to see from the perspective of Charlie Christian. I absolutely loved pages 7-20 because it really gives you an understanding of how Charlie broke down the neck. This has been valuable to me as a beginner/intermediate Jazz student and really aloud the transcriptions to soak in. I havent gotten to all the solos yet. but I couldnt wait to give a shout out to how much this book has helped me!
