Hi Michael -

I seriously doubt it was played on a G chrom. I just went through the first 16 bars or so and found multiple discrepancies -- those quick 3-note lead-ins (not sure what the correct technical term is) are possible on the G chrom, but they are simple and straight-forward on a C chrom, they just fit comfortably, as they should, on that axe. Also, since Stevie almost always plays a 16-holer, there would be no advantage for him to do this on the G-12.
