I first watched a video of Wes playing with Martial Solal on a TV show, the I switched to some of Solal's own videos then quite randomly got to Stan Getz and Chet Baker playing "Airegin", and then I got here.
@Zaekk that´s exactly it.... I didn´t mean thought... I mean his imagination and emotions, where were they taking him in that moment in time? ...I´m pretty sure even HE wouldn´t be able to explain it with words... just music.
favorite jazz guitarist of all time, he could even play only a couple notes in a single song and it would sound cooler than most guys who play a thousand notes
&dudo5000 Hey man Jazz is a language; you have to learn how to speak it. Once you've learnt the basic scales,immerse yourself in transcribing solos from the masters. There is no other way to learn Jazz
@dudo5000 HAHAH! So many different scales. In jazz each chord has a related chord scale (or multiple options of chord scales). So for every different chord change he is using a different scale/mode. Kind of a basic introduction to a complex system.
His way of playing the intro is so fluid and natural.. Incredible.

he used the scale of his imagination and musical genious... pretty much sure he wasn't thinking about any other rather than that at the time.

@freekazoid8489 Like any artist I'd assume he's just channeling his emotions into it. You don't really think you just flow.

@VulcanLander1988 no he isn't, just shows you how much you know about jazz.

@dudo5000 He played along the chord structure of Airegin.

@dudo5000 What those people said is only partly true. Jazz uses a lot of chromaticism also and you cant derive it from any particular scale

@dudo5000 Sounds like a Polish Sausage flat 5 with diminished 6th over a g minor 8th chord. :D LOL
