								| | Evolution of Jazz Guitar - Tuesday - Week 2 |  | Be-Bop GuitaristsTal Farlow (1921 - '98) got his start on the guitar at the age of eight.  He continued into his adulthood gaining more interest after hearing Charlie Christian.  His first big gig was a USO stint with pianist Jimmy Lyons during World War II.  Although his claim to fame gig was with the Red Norvo trio in 1949.
 Here's a fun lick to throw in your bag of tricks.  It's loaded with lots of chord tones and chromatic approaches.  Make sure you catch all of the pull-offs, they will help the line flow smoothly.  Try practicing this and all other swing eighths lines with a metronome on beats 2 and 4 to improve your swing feel.
