Pee Wee Crayton

Pee Wee Crayton (1914-1985) - a Texas guitar player whose style was orginally based on the playing of T-Bone Walker, but who crafted his own original and influential style. Like Walker, Crayton played single-string runs mixed with "jazzy" chords -- a style that has influenced many later guitarists. I can hear of a lot of Charlie Christian's influence in Pee Wee's early playing - especially the way he plays over the 4 & 5 chords using the scale following the 9th chord shape.
