      Not recognizing the player but he’s just playing the blues in G (A tenor)
      you can play the G major pentatonic which he does but also uses the Bb a lot, which is the minor 3rd.
      the intro lick for his solo for example is just a series of 5 notes played up and down over and over…sounds more complicated than it really is:
      D E G A Bb then back down Bb A G E D
      most every other lick of his solo stays with this scale G A Bb C D E F which is a natural G minor scale
      this is played over a major key slo you have the option of a major or minor 3rd, he went for the minor
      (I’m doing this on piano so remember to transpose it up a tone for your tenor)

        That’s pretty hilarious! 🙂 It’s also very cool, have never seen that before. Thanks for sharing–sounds like you’ve gotten the blues bug Khanthebrit, I don’t blame you one bit either. Johnny’s ability to transpose by ear is amazing–takes years to get to that level.

          John Goodman was great with Little Richard’s 12 bar blues tune, “Good Golly Miss Molly”

            IMDB lists actor Kirk St. James as the sax player (apparently not the actual player)
