Lockdown Licks no. 391. “Jazz Late Nighter” by Lockdown Licks.
Played on a Thomann HB35+ guitar into a NUX M8 amp set to clean with a little reverb.
I was listening late at night to some Charlie Christian and Kenny Burrell jazz guitar recently. Both great inspiring players!
For this original jazz tune I put together ,I am forever in their debt for sense of major/ minor melody,cool riffs & rhythmic chord play!
Starting with partial damped chords Fmin, Gmin & A flat to mark the rhythm, I play a classic jazz minor “signature” riff before a partial major 7, a minor bar chord with finger slide, a rake into single note lead ending with repeat strums on a partial C7 ,back to the signature riff and opening chords, finishing on a jazz chord I’m not even sure what it is called.🎸🤔 Using an excellent jazz drum pattern on the “Trio” pedal as backing rhythm.

Charlie Christian was a pioneer of amplified electric guitar and he played Gibson ES150 & later the ES250 guitars.
Kenny Burrell has played a Gibson Super 400 CES through much of his career. More recently he has also used a D’Angelico New Yorker.

Kenneth Earl Burrell (born July 31, 1931) is an American jazz guitarist known for his work on numerous top jazz labels: Prestige, Blue Note, Verve, CTI, Muse, and Concord. His collaborations with Jimmy Smith were notable, and produced the 1965 Billboard Top Twenty hit Verve album Organ Grinder Swing. He has cited jazz guitarists Charlie Christian, Oscar Moore, and Django Reinhardt as influences, along with blues guitarists T-Bone Walker and Muddy Waters.
Charles Henry Christian (July 29, 1916 – March 2, 1942) was an American swing and jazz guitarist. He was among the first electric guitarists and was a key figure in the development of bebop and cool jazz. He gained national exposure as a member of the Benny Goodman Sextet and Orchestra from August 1939 to June 1941. His single-string technique, combined with amplification, helped bring the guitar out of the rhythm section and into the forefront as a solo instrument. For this, he is often credited with leading to the development of the lead guitarists role in musical ensembles and bands.
