Hi Miko ,
A while back I bought an Issue of "how to play guitar"  (from Guitar 
Player) because it had a Bill Frisell lesson.
Here Frisell and interviewer focused some of it on "Unsung Heroes". Mr.  
Frisell said some pretty intensely theroetical
things to say on that tune. If you like I can send you(privately) a rough 
transcript on what he said on "Unsung Heroes" ( "our song".)

I`ll leave you all with a quote from the master, about formal education:

"It`s only the players` fault if they let themselves be programmed by the 
routines these places establish.
There are all kinds of things you can do with the "rules" that a school 
might give you. For example , in harmony classes
at Berklee , they`d have "avoid notes" , notes you weren`t supposed to use 
over a particular chord. 
Naturally , those were the first ones I`d check out."

Yours truly and warmely , Thomas W
