"...jazz is much more difficult than rock..." No serious musician cares about that.
It does not matter if someone plays "better" than another. Music is for bringing people together . If you do not like it, you do not have to hear it. No one really needs any "expert" to explain what is good or not.

@marcomania444 Don't know what you mean by "A Mixolydian mode. nat. minor with a #6", but Mixolydian, even with alterations, has to contain the major third and minor seventh (tritone). In A that would be C# and G. The vamp is A minor, so C# wouldn't work, and he is mainly using G#, although he does throw in the odd G passing note. (Specifically F#,G,G#).
The first thing he plays at 2:57 is an Ami9(ma7) arpeggio: B,G#,E,C#,A. He then plays melodic minor fragments ending with F#,A,G#,F#,E @2:59

@basssplayer Ya it's melodic minor; the main key of this song. He has great melodic minor lines.
-
Wayne Krantz does a tremendous job on that song. He is in the groove and his solos fit in and end at the end of the phrase. To answer steelydanbowler's comments; no it is not wrong to feel that way. It lets you know that the music is righteous if it fills your soul.
-
@TheAcousticBob Oh I agree.. Krantz is one of my favorites... I just think it had to do with that particular portion of the melody.

@steelydanbowler If the guitar solo starting at two:47 blows you away, listen to the first half of it, too. That starts around 2:20
-
The guitar solo starting at 2:47 just brings me to tears. It's freakin' beautiful.. Is that wrong to feel that way? :-P

Krants is Zappa like
Dude for real,,, Wayne Krantz is nothing like steve vai. Vai is all hardcore rock en shit, Wayne is a real top jazz/fusion player. Believe when i say that jazz is much more difficult than rock. Wayne combines great playing speed with melody and thats hard to do.
