Howdy Folks,
This week my man Paul has composed a solo for "Just Because" that is a very fine piece of swing rooted in Charlie Christian. A similar but slightly more harmonically advanced than mine would be.
Its a fun song so dig in folks and let's see what ya got!
Enjoy,
Duke

Hello Paul and Duke -
Very tasty solo so far! The Charlie Christian lick is certainly a keeper, thanks for that. Any feedback on this one?
Thanks!
Bruce
Mike - one transcription error. In the "Charlie Christian" phrase (measure 9) the 6th note of the phrase (2nd to the last note in the bar) should be a 10th fret on the 4th string, not 8th fret as indicated. Thanks, Bruce
Thanks Bruce. You're right and we've updated the tab. Beautiful phrase.
Hey Charlie, Paul knows what he's talking about! Duke
For sure! I have to admit for me speed has been something to hide inaccuracy behind! Hope I've grown out of that now - especially since SJ came on the scene. Thanks gents!
'Speed is a by product of accuracy' - what a great point! Thanks Paul
Thanks Paul .
