This is done with a short transcribed phrase, most likely repeated a reoccurring harmonic cadence (eg. II-V-I).

A flexible artist, George Benson is the recipient of 10 Grammys in the jazz and r & b categories and has recorded lots of albums for Columbia, Verve, CTI, A&M, and Concord. His "Breezing" recording for Warner Bros. in 1976 attained triple platinum sales.

Benson's discography features some of the finest instrumentalists from the latter half of the 20th century. He has recorded with Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Benny Goodman, Quincy Jones, Chet Atkins, McCoy Tyner and the Count Basie Orchestra to name just a few|. His fluid swinging lines on guitar are studied by every serious straight ahead jazz guitarist. Due to his complex combination of octaves in combination with various other intervals when soloing, it has often been said that Benson picked up where Wes Montgomery ended.
