@Sunderlanding fair enough, i do love me some Benson lines i must admit.
he has one where he descends from the 5th of the blues scale to the minor 3rd in 16ths then descends from the b5th to the major 2nd continuing in 16ths and then goes major 2, b3, major 7th, root; it's so bluesy and so jazzy all at the same time. genius!
@rillloudmother That's true, and I'm not saying George in more innovative than Wes, just that there is a good argument to be made that he's his equal.
@Sunderlanding agreed, but who before Wes had the single line/octaves/chords type solo? that's innovative on so many levels, imo [technique, textural, and harmonically, etc...].
That's my brother you'd expect nothing less of the man. I'd love to meet the next time he goes to Patterson

I can't believe this thread has no profanity on it. And rightly so because George's followers are like himself.
