 From the Author

I created this book with the thought that I could take the timeless melodies and pieces
that we are so familiar with from the great composers of the Classical, Romantic and
Baroque periods and give them a fresh start. Even though I don’t consider myself a
jazz musician as many of us who mostly live in the classical or other worlds of music,
[love and appreciate Jazz. In the spirit of this musical form, I wanted to create pieces
which had, in addition to an offbeat rhythmic structure and a more elaborate and lush
harmonic scheme, the sense of freedom that Jazz offers. And I encourage all who play
these pieces to embellish further, just as any improviser would, once the tune was
introduced in its purest form. With each tune I chose different ways (i.e.; change of
time signature, etc.) to subtly (and not so subtly!) change details while retaining the
wonderful character of the originals. So whether you're a Classical music buff or a Jazz
enthusiast you will find something to love!

CHORD SHAPES OF
CHARLIE CHRISTIAN
by Joe Weidlich
Chord shapes are moveable; thus one can play the
riffs in virtually any key without difficulty by simply
moving the shape, and fingerings used to play them,
up or down the fingerboard. The author shows how
the chord shapes —F, D and A —are formed, then can
' easily be modified to major, minor, dominant seventh
and diminished seventh chord voicings. The identifiable “sound” of a particular
lick is preserved regardless of how many notes are added on either side oft, e.g.,
pickup notes or tag endings. Many examples are shown and played on the CD of
how this basic concept was used by Charlie Christian.
