That's my interpretation...at least as close as I could write on
paper. I tried to get as close note per note on the solo as I
could but since I have the feeling that Mr. Hammon doesn't play these
exact notes every time, improvisation on the B pentatonic is
probably fine.
Feel free to e-mail me for comment, corrections, etc.
