Hi Folks, This week we are working on the second A section of the solo for Flying Home. I chose to use the actual Charlie Christian solo this time and will continue with the solo from the master take. I suggest getting a metronome for the rest of this song. Charlie's timing is as important as the notes he plays and the metronome is a good way of understanding Charlie's approach to soloing.
Have fun! Duke

I aim to revisit a lesson series a week, starting with this gem of a song. Haven't finished series yet, but took a rough take at the halfway mark. I LOVE Charlie Christian - it's invaluable to me to have his work taught by a master. Thanks Duke!
Steve, That sounds good. To assimilate the concepts are very useful and if you can add phrases to your arsenal that's always a good thing! Duke
Hey Duke
I went straight into this weeks lesson not having enough time for last weeks. i listened to it and you mentioned going over it again. I think the challenge will be putting this all together. The lessons are great and practical. I use whatever i pick up at my gigs, Being an 8 piece swing band, the additional knowledge is fantastic. Keep it going. I have gone back to many of the other lessons, but will upload the new ones. Cheers and keep swingin
