The solos in this collection demonstrate the styles and techniques of major trailblazers of the jazz guitar. With solos as played by Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, Les Paul, Tal Farlow, and more. Jazz is always evolving, and major jazz artists always have a deep respect for the past; they know their musical roots. To study these solos is to examine the directions jazz guitar improvisation has taken since the thirties. You'll have more fun playing and listening when familiar with the styles of the great guitarists.
