Rating : - Go Cat Go!

15 songs transcribed in both notation and tab. It includes 'Solo Flight' a.k.a. 'Chonk, Charlie, Chonk' (way cool). The tabbed phrasing was accurate when played. Also, transcribed is much of Goodman's clarinet and Hampton's vibe work (cool). Some songs have fully transcribed and voiced rhythm guitar parts. Although, most songs list only chord names with no suggested voicings (uncool); thus only 4 stars.

Added, the score doesn't 'source' six songs (very uncool). And this is critical to understand, because many of songs transcribed have been released as different takes. Therefore, I've listed sources that are dead-on:

FROM COLUMBIA'S 4-CD box set 'The Genius of Electric Guitar'

* Flying Home
* Rose Room
* Stardust
* Seven Come Eleven
* Shivers
* Till Tom Special
* Gone With What Wind
* Grand Slam
* Six Appeal
* Wholly Cats
* Air Mail Special
* Honeysuckle Rose
* Solo Flight

NOTE: Don't confuse this box set with the single-CD of the same name, nor with the single-CD 'Charlie Christian: The Original Guitar Hero' whose cover looks similar. The 4-CD box set comes packaged in an actual 'small cardboard Gibson tweed amp' (way cool). It goes for about $50.

FROM LEGACY/LASERLIGHT/ETC. 'The Immortal Charlie Christian'

* Swing to Bop

FROM NATASHA'S 'Swing to Bop' (Out of Print)

* Stompin' at the Savoy

Best of luck to you with this score!
