ExamplE2 Full Solo 2: Funky in 4/4 (Slightly Swinging 16thS)

Cd track 72

[Bars 1-4] More whammy bar action to begin with, so make sure you have the bar literally to hand. From a notes perspective, Scott is exploiting the minor 3rd symmetry between the A major Pentatonic and blues box shape found between the 2nd and 5th frets and the associated parallel A minor Pentatonic and blues pattern found three frets higher. Scott being Scott, he pushes this association into implied Half-Whole symmetry by moving up a further three frets, as is customary with any vocabulary found within this scale. As Scott says, “i consider myself a blues-rock player but i borrow from jazz.”
