A while ago I made a transcription of a Joe Pass solo fingerstyle version of Joyspring, as I was fascinated to know how he made this into an effective solo guitar arrangement (I worked it out from that youtube video where he plays to some people in a guitar shop, plus bits from another version he recorded).

I've gone back and forth a couple of times between your recent L4 and 175 recordings .... You kind of have to hedge the comparisons to allow for different players and signal chains (e.g., Severson...
I can't swear that I understand this. But, if we're talking about different paths through a I VI II V, each path can be conceptualized by scales/modes or by chord names. Is that much correct?
