Re: CD sales vs pirate downloads.

Re: Charlie Christian Licks
Well put - infectious, delightful - and the sound textures he squeezes out of that thing while remaining melodic! "Licks" was a dirty word among my jazz crowd a few decades ago - that was considered a

the absolute best resource i found was garry hansen's site, which seems no longer to be online; this site had the audio of each solo isolated, the transcription, and the tab, along with heaps of info

Looks like Mel Bay have brought out an expanded edition with the obligatory CDs (no CDs included in 1977!). From the samples on their site it might well cover the content of the two books I mentioned.
