Ten Weeks of Charlie Christian: Charlie Lives!
(Note this downloadable program is a past presentation that was live in 2021)
Hello! I’m Frank Vignola, and I invite you to join me on a ten-week journey through the swing landscapes of the great Charlie Christian!
This Learning Club is a great way to get deeper into Charlie’s music. We will be studying ten of his classic tunes!
The ten-week period of the Learning Club is optimal for the opportunity to take a sustained look at the material and set yourself up to make a lot of improvement while having a lot of fun.
Each week we will play through all ten songs before picking one to focus on. We will be exploring groove, swing, lines, background riffs, improvisation techniques, and lots more!
When you sign up, a link is provided with downloadable material for you to get ready for the weekly jams. You get pdf chord charts for each of the ten songs, and a short video lesson to show you how to play them. And, you receive sound recording files of each of the songs featuring me and a rhythm section playing a backing track so you can practice playing the song and soloing with me.
Best of all, each of the ten weeks has a one-hour live Zoom jam session that I lead, where we play each of the ten songs, and then really focus on one of them, putting one song a week under the “microscope”. The session is recorded and a link with the recorded session is made available to all participants so you can view or download it to practice with during the week. By the time we finish the ten weeks, we will have played each of the songs many, many times, enjoying the confidence that can only come from deep familiarity.
I play a lot of rhythm so you can work on all the techniques you’ve been developing and take the songs to the next level. The Zoom jam session is recorded and uploaded to the Club materials section within 24 hours, so that you can revisit the session as often as you want.
Each week also features a breakdown of club member questions and answers about the material. (I do this separately, so as not to cut into the jam time!)
I am really, really excited about the new Guitar club and about this new way of approaching guitar study. I hope to see you in the Jam Room at the Charlie Christian Lives! 10 weeks of Charlie Christian Learning Club!
Chord progressions we will be covering during this Learning Club are: “Seven Come Eleven”, “A Smooth One”, “Stompin’ At the Savoy”, “‘Till Tom Special”, “Flying Home”, “Wholly Cats”, “Air Mail Special”, “Rose Room”, “I’ve Found A New Baby”, and “Shivers”.
