Google Open Studio, if you're interested. What's going on? Oh, nothing, man. we're deep into recording these, you'll hear it's for this week, and I wanted to add a list of our seven favorite jazz guitarists, because I don't think we've ever covered this. We're on, like, episode, what is this, 1,552 or something by now? Yeah, well, we're pianists, and we hate guitar, of course. Why would we cover it? It's interesting because I feel like guitar is an interesting jazz instrument, right?

Yeah. Yeah, well, we're pianists and we hate guitar, of course. Why would we cover it? It's interesting because I feel like guitar is an interesting jazz instrument, right? Like, guitarists are the king of every other kind of popular music. Right. But in guitar, but in the jazz world, they're kind of like, you know, under the radar. That's right. Well, and I think, you know, I'm just kidding, we don't hate guitarists.

I think what it is as pianists, we're actually envious of guitarists in a lot of ways.

We occupy some of the same space, but really some of my happiest musical moments in reflecting and us looking at this list, I realize what's from listening to and playing with great guitarists.

Yeah, absolutely.

They've really helped shape the music. And I mean, if you think about it, like piano and guitar are really in, in many ways, the most similar instruments within the jazz world to each other in that they're probably

the only instruments that can really do a solo gig, solo performance. And look, Sonnyins solo saxophone, I'm sure it was amazing at the museum in New York and everything. So I mean, if you're at the top of the game, but I mean, if you're just an average pianist or guitarist, you can really do a nice gig on your own and kind of, of course, it's better with the rhythm section and horns or vocals, but I mean, you can sort of do that. I think, is there anything else besides piano and guitar that can kind of hold it down? Well, the bass, we learned that in yesterday's episode, yeah, the classy Christmas, but, you know, not as much. I mean, obviously, like, you know, the B3 organ, but that's kind of an offshoot of any kind of keys instrument can do it. Yep. I love doing duo gigs with a guitarist too.

Yes.

You know?

Absolutely.

Yeah, when you get the right guitarist and the right pianist, there's nothing like it.

I think it gets a lot of bad rap because it's done badly a lot because there's so much

potential to clash.

There's so much coverage of the same area.

But, I mean, the instruments are so

different texturally, texturally, that, you know, you just have to listen really well,

which is number one. Listen. And then you can have an incredible time with guitar and piano.

Yeah, I enjoy that quite a bit. All right, so what do we got for

number one here? Well, number one, we're going back to the source, back to the roots. Charlie Christian.
