Wtf is going on here? (George Benson content)

What's Hot

I'm unsure if I'd be able to do any of this track justice, but the bit that's particularly eluding me is 2:10-2:40, with all those really weird-sounding double-stops... what interval is it? I honestly can't tell, my best guess would be 4ths but it sounds wider than that... could it perhaps be a mix of 4ths and octaves? And if so, how the sweet baby Jesus did he ever manage to play that?


Anyone, any idea?

    Check out my version: George Benson - Being With You: Might give you an idea of some of his licks. Those octave things he does are a mixture of the root, a perfect 5th/4th above, and the octave, I'd I remember correctly!
