The first L-5s had body widths of sixteen inches and were used by such prominent jazz guitarists as Charlie Christian and Eddie Lang and by scores of important musicians in nearly every genre since that time. During his brief time as a recording artist, Lang proved the viability of the guitar as a jazz instrument. When it comes to jazz guitar, it all comes back to Charlie Christian (1916-1942). Posted on June 3, 2013 by Ametia. Django Reinhardt Charlie Christian was the first modern jazz guitar soloist and notable for two reasons. Fender Road-worn '50s Telecaster, before the Charlie Christian was installed. Is there a distinct melodic difference (single or chordal lines) between swing era styles of guitar (Charlie Christian, Django, Oscar Moore, etc) versus players who began thriving in the bebop era (Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Wes to say, but forgot), that bebop was in fact the start of jazz becoming "an art form", more intellectual and sadly less popular and NOT made for dancing. This week's featured artist is jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. Genius, SHEER GENIUS… Montgomery started learning the six string guitar at the relatively late age of 20 by listening to and learning the recordings of his idol, guitarist Charlie Christian, however he had played a four string tenor guitar since age twelve. It might seriously be the only genuinely American art form thus far.
