single note jazz lines

dang it, jazz, leave me alone!  I keep trying to leave and you keep pulling me back in!  OK, now that my wrist is better I'm able to play each day -- limited time.  So, I pulled out my Charlie Christian sheet music book today.  I even got the tube amp and brought it downstairs.  I even got my Gibson 339 out of the closet!  Set up my music stand and started following the notes.  So skip the theory for now and just play some transcribed single note lines.  Skip the fancy chords for another time.  It's another way to enjoy jazz guitar.  Also I've been learning single note melodies to some Beatles songs.  That's fun, too, and doesn't stress out my wrist.
