   Wanted to update an earlier comment about the chords:

   A13 / / A7#5 – D9 / / / – A13 / / Bb13(slide up to) – A13 / A7#5 /
   D9 / / / – G13 / / / – A13 / / Ab13 – G13 / F#13b9 /
   B-9 / / / – Bb13 / / / – A13 / C13 / – B13#5b9 / Bb13 / – A13

   There are also accents on certain chords to give the vamp greater harmonic dynamics however it’s hard to document this here. I’d like to thank George Fortunato for transcribing these chords.

   @loopdawgg Yeah, that’s the secret to excellent note choice and impeccable phrasing… a ’61 Strat. Go back to the woodshed and quite whining.

   Check out the “Tony Martin Group” on Youtube if you love great feeling and tone, he is awesome 😉

   Sounds remarkably similar to one of the examples from the Danny Gatton Hot Licks DVD !

   @loopdawgg I seriously doubt it! It helps him, it wouldn’t help us one jot – its small tolerances in tone/response versus a mighty big talent gap… the cliche is true – guys like this usually play top-flight gear, because they are good enough to squeeze every last drop of juice out of their tools, and at that level, every % matters. But its the converse just isn’t true – great gear doesn’t buy you great playing. Without the latter, the former counts for nothing. Its just not the secret weapon.

   @mikaltch Nope, not really. I got one, and a lot of other stuff too. It doesn’t make me play/sound anything like this guy can (that’s ok, i’m not trying to. But i absolutely couldn’t come close if i ever did). Gear is not the secret… but you know that really. 😉

    @FenderHotRod93 Hey – it’s from the Guitarist Magazine DVD Vol2…. never paid much attention to it until I heard What I Wanna Hear…. blew me away – exactly the kind of playing I love – didn’t know ’till I’d heard it tho’

17. Gibsonstandard67 Says:
    February 29th, 2012 at 4:41 am

    Yeah it’s cool stuff! It’s a lot of tritone sub stuff. It’s so much more fun than just a I IV V. So many possibilities!

    @ loopdawgg

    suggest you check out Riveria Paradise, not real jazz but just as “jazzy” as anything you have here

    @Henrync35, you obviously haven’t heard SRV’s RIviera Paradise.

    I saw Matt & Ian Siegul last night in Nottingham, left me awe inspired by such genius. Defo top 10blues guitarist of all time but with Jazz element to define his style – up there with Stevie Ray & Jimi but neither of those guys could master the Jazz that Matt can do so effortlessly as featured in this video
