In our very first episode we looked at a very cool Charlie Christian lick, from his solo on Swing to Bop. After looking at how tritone subs work in episode 2, in episode 3 we took his lick, originally played by Charlie on a Bb7 chord, and put it over an E7 chord in the key of A, which gave us a very nice altered lick over the E7.
Here, we take the same line, and play it over two other chords, a Dm7b5 and an Fm, giving us two other cool ways to bring Charlie Christian's amazing style and language into a somewhat more modern harmonic/melodic approach.
